George Trice, 26, was charged with the manslaughter of

Mr. O'Brien prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by
Mr. Ballwin*.

It appeared that late on the 19th Aug., the prisoner,
the deceased, • man named Popestock, and several other
person% were drinking in a booth at Maidstone fair,
the whole of the party being at the time more
or less the worse for liquor. A dispute arose be-
tween the prisoner and Popestock, and the pri-
soner threatened that he would strike him, upon
which the deceased interfered and told the pri-
soner not to strike a man who was old enough to be his
father. The deceased was at this time sitting in the bet
in the booth, and the moment he made the observation re-
ferred to, the prisoner seized him by the legs and threw him
over the bar, and he fell with considerable violence upon
his head. The deceased complained of numbness imme-
diately, and it was found necessary to remove him to one of
the London hospitals, where he died on the Ist of October,
and it was then ascertained that he had received an injury
to the vertebras of the neck, and this was alleged to be
the primary cause of death, the immediate one being dysen-
tery, the result of the injury he had received. It was ad-
mitted that it was an injudicious proceeding to remove a
man in such a state as the deceased was from Maidstone to
London, and that it was calculated to aggravate the symp-
toms of the malady.
Mr. Sallantine, for the defence, said he could not den
that the prisoner had been the unhappy cause of the death
of the deceased, but he submitted that there had been •
drunken quarrel and dispute between the parties, and that
the injury had been inflicted in a moment of passion, with-
out the prisoner entertaining the slightest idea that it was
likely to be attended by such fatal consequences.
Several witnesses were examined, who gave the prisoner
an excellent character for humanity and good conduct.
The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of
Guilty; and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for three months.
U. W. Warman was brought up for judgment in the
course of the morning, and sentenced to be transported for

•
seven years.
William Hams, 23, and Henry Hound, 20, were indicted
for the capital offence of shooting at and wounding Edward
Earthy, with intent to murder him.
Mr. Parry conducted the persecution.
The facts of this case have been given very recently. The
prosecutor was a police sergeant, of the T division, and on
the night of the Bth October, in consequence of re-
ceiving information of a highway robbery having been
committed at Acton, iu which district he was on duty,
he was on the look-out for the thieves, and while going along
a lane at East Acton, accompanied by a constable
named Bayley, he saw two men with masks on their faces,
and, on his attempting to secure them, one of the men, who
proved to be the prisoner Round, fired a pistol at him, and
wounded him severely in the thigh. Bayley attempted to
take the other, when he also drew a pistol, and attempted
to discharge it, but it missed fire. This second man turned
out to be the prisoner Harris, who was secured upon the
spot, but Round contrived to makei his escape, and was not
apprehended until the nest day.
the jury found the prisoners Gully of the whole charge,
and sentence of death was recorded staling them, with an
intimation that they would both be transported for life.
