Edward Gregory, 34. was ebasserwith the manslaughter

Mr. Cooper pronsonted. The primmer we defended by
Mr. Sleigh.
The prisoner end the deemed it appeared were employed
with a number of other Mhos's, apes the works of the
Metropolitan Railway at Nils's-sem, where a station is la
Use course at ereetion, the forms bong what is called the
roger of the others. They were both employed upon some
gu&ra, or ribs, upon
.which se arch was to be thrown over
the line, on the evening of the 27th of May, when It ap-
peared that a quarrel took place between thm, and after
some very angry words blows waseschanged between them.
The deceased struck the prisoner on the arms and face with
an iroa instrument calld a podger, which be was using in his
work. The struggle continued for some time, and at length,
according to the evidence of two witnesses, the prisoner
laid hold of the deceased by the collar and one
of his arms, lifted him off his legs, and deliberately
dropped him down into the cutting, a depth of nearly
forty feet, and by the fall be received such severe injuries es
occasioned his death very shortly afterwards. There was
some coot *diction, however, as to the circumstance* under
which the doesosed fell or was thrown from the girder, and
one of the witnesses Mated that be saw the struggle, and
that he expected both the men would have fallen from the
place where they were, and that he threw a rope over the
deceased to save him, but he was very excited and pulled it
off. Another witness also said that the deceased was the
worse for liquor at the time of the occurrence, and that he
had threatened the prisoner with personl violence.
Mr. Sleigh in his address to the jury for the
endeavoured to show that the unfortunate OCCUITOOIIt=
the result of aocident, and argued that this was more
than that the prisoner should have lifted up the d
who wee proved to be a men nearly as heavy and powiest sr
himself, and have thrown hint into the cutting in the way
that had been stated.
The learned Judge having rumored up, the jury, after •
short deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of saw
slaughter, but intimated that some of them eotertained a
doubt whether the prisoner intended to throw the deceased

from the girder.
The loomed Judge, in passing sentenee, mid it wee deer
that tbe death of the dammed had been oecesimasd by die
illegal violence of the prisoner, and ft woe fortunate Imbibe
that the jory did not believe that he bad intentieeelly owe.
mitted the wicked act of throwing Lie fellow workman Irma
ouch a height, for if they had done so ha abeeld have fah
it his duty to inflict e very severe punishment, as such ea
offence would have bows very little abort of murder. He
then sentenced the premier to twelve =oaths' bard labour.

Chancellor, showing that the order. if enforced, would ruin

and law writers. The memorial was presented, and no
answer received. On Friday • deputation from the Society

great injury about to be inflicted on them, and the greth
monopoly in printing which the order will create, and prey-

Act, to prevent the order taking effect. It is stated that
the order, if enforced, will throw about 400 persons out of
employment as law writers, while it will give to one esta-
blishment the monopoly of printing.
