CRAW! OP MANOLACIGHTII.- COMO:PM 1011 TRILL.
John Milton • respectably-dreseed man, described as a
ladies' bootee:lpar, wee diarged on remind before Kr.
Alderman Challis, with feloniously killing and 'laying Mr.
William Vernon.
Charles Greenwood rid—l am pot at the Queen's
Head publiekonse, in Water lase, Blackfriars. On
Monday night, the 24th of July, at about 25 minutes
to 11 o'clock, I was sitting in the parlour having
my supper. The prisoner was there, and • man named
Vernon. There were also two other men in the room—the
prisoner was sitting opposite Vernon at the end of • table
by the fire place. They were about two feet
from each other. Every other Monday sight a
club is held at the house called the St. Pure
Benefit Society. Vernon was the chairman, and
the prisoner is a member. The club broke up about
' half-past 10 o'clock, and the prisons sad the deceased
were having •dispute about a fine which bad bees inflicted
on the prisoner' when he said to Vernon, " I rather think
you are too fast." The deceased replied, "I am too fart for
you, and he called the prisoner a humbug, on which
the prisoner got up and struck the deceased on the
side of the head, saying, "Foe celliog me that,
take that." Vernon Use dropped his bead, end
seemed to be groaning. The blow eouaded like • slap
or a box on the earn. I saw it struck, but I cannot say
whether it was with the fist or the open hand. Prisoner
said he would serve anybody else the same who called him
such names as that, for he did not deserve it. This was
said two or three minutes after the blow was attack.
The deceased never spoke atter the blow wee struck,
Prisoner left the house about ten minutes afterwards. A
doctor was sent for about a quarter of an hoar after
the blow was struck. I had served Verson with four pint.
of half-and-half between twenty-five minutes to nine and
Ulf-past ten, and also with half a quarts= of gin and cold
water.
Oily Polio* Sergeant Henry Mnotagne —I apprehended the
prisoner, and told him that he was charged with causing the
death of Vernon, and he replied, "lam very sorry. I know
I did strike the man, bat I did not do it with the intention
of hurting biro."
WM. Hairy &audios said—l am a surgeon. On Mon-
day, the 24th of July, • fe• minutes before 11 o'clock, I
was celled to the Queen's Heed publio.house is Water-laps.
I found a man named Vernon there ; he was then lifeless.
About 18 hours after that I made • post-mortem examiw
tics of he body ; there was no bruise on the head. There
is no doubt he died of sanguineous spoplexy, ceased by ex-
citement. I believe the blow did not cause death. It
might have contributed to the excitement. I cosine say
that it accelerated his death. I found a rupture of a
vessel on the brain. Drink would predispose to apoplexy
and aggravate its effects.
Crow-examined by Mr. Beard, for the prisoner. I had
seen th!deosseedbefore but had not 'Melded him pro-

fesslo;;Ily. His heart was healthy ; the stomach wee not
very full, but when I commenced the post modem exami-
nation a good deal of beer rah out of his month. There
was no solid food in bin stomach.

The prisoner, after tM meaal motion, uid he reserved
hie defence sod he was thee fully committed to the Old
Bailey for trial.

BOW-STREET.
COWARDLY ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.

_ ..___..
A young man who said hie name wee Henry Cassius, and
that he was a sawyer, living in the Colonnade. Great
Comm-street, was charged with assaulting Emily Walters.
The complainant, a good-looking young woman, said she
wise sampan's, living in Gloster.street, Queen's-square.
About half-put 10 o'clock last evening she wee going home
after delivering some work, and stopped to shelter from the
rain under the portico of the Lyceum Theatre. The pri•
sonar and another man came up and raw agaiast her, so es
to push her against the wall of the theatre. She asked him
what be did that for, upon which he made a blow at her,
bat she avoided it, and mu away. He followed her, over-
took her in the Strand, and gave bee a violent blow upon
the mouth, knocking two of her teeth out. She ran into
the Strand Music Hall for protection, bat he still followed
her sad struck her again inside. A policeman then came to
her assistance.

Sergeant Wilkinson, F 11, said be was on duty in the
Strand, when • gentleman came up to him and urged him
to harry to the Strand Music Hall, where • man who
had violently assaulted • woman was again about
to attack her. He hastened to the spot, sod arrived
just at the moment that the prisoner had over-
taken the complainant, sod was striking her the
moon& time. Witness took him in cask:dr. He said she
had attack him first, At this moment the prisoner's com-
panion attempted to strike her, bat trite's, guarded off the
blow, and in doing so knocked the man down upon the
steps leading to the balcony of the concert room. At this
moment he was holding the prisoner with hie right hand,
and it was with his left, which was "disengaged," that he
knocked the man down. He soon jumped up and took to
his heels. Witness then took the prisoner to the static's.
He was tipsy.
The prisoner said the complainant stopped him in the
street end spoke to him.
Mr. Flowers said it she did it was • brutal sod cowardly
thing to go after her end strike her, especially with such
violence as to knock oat her teeth. Any ordinary man
would have cued nothing about her speaking to him, and
would be slimmed to get into a passion shout it. The pH.
sonar might be a respectable man when sober, but in this
case he had behaved disgracefully.
The prisoner said she struck him with her umbrella and
knocked his hat off.
. .

Mr. Flowers did not believe It ; bet, even if true, it
would not escose his knocking her teeth wet. Re mast
pay a See of 51., or be imprisoned for two mouths.
