Tasci or DRAYS,.

Stephen Alfred Jordan, alias Dowland, 17, was plated at
the her to receive judgment.
It will be rumeabered that the prisoner wm convicted on
Wedaesday in this court of • most delihratis attempt to
, murder a young woman with whom be had cohabited, and
who was in the family way by him, in Dulwich-wood.
Mr. Harker having made the usual proclamation,
Kr. Justice Cromwell pat on the black cap and proceeded
to pass sestinas upon the prisoner. He said that • few days
before he had been convicted upon the clearest partible evi-
dence of feloalouly cutting and wounding Busk Francis
Ewing., with intent to murder her, and although at the
time be considered it wee one of the wont eases be had
ever tiled, yet, seeing that the young woman's life was
not actually destroyed, and also toking into mu-
sideration his esteem yoath, he forbore at the time
from passing the sentience awarded by the law,
in the hope that upon further 'Consideration he might find
some ground to justify him in refraining from posing pub-
licly upon him the sentenced death, and in holding out some
hops that that sentence would not be camel into ego t
After.however, giving all the eireitaistanors the most anxious
consideration, he felt that his duty to the public left him no
al:mustier but is discharge the painful duty of sentencing
his to die • violent death for the crime he had committed,
and he could find no grounds for holding oat any hope that
the fall eentence of the law would Rot be carried into effect.
If he considered the nature of the crime, it was an attempt
to murder. If be considered the manner in which the act
was perpetrated, it was the most cruel and wicked he ever
head of. Under the pretence of effection, he had lured
the unfortunate girl to the spot where the dreadful attack
war made upon her, and had previously taken the mat
art'ul and cunning means to elude detection and
bolds inquiry, and it was altogether one of the meet delibe-
nets and cruel acts that he had ever heard of. It wee per-
fectly dear that the set was not the result of any sudden im-
rib., but that it was a deliberate scheme to destroy the un-
py young woman, and the circumstances wider which he
le her after the act showed that there had not been the
least relenting on his part. It sometimes happened that
persons who ciontemplateck the commission of • great crime
relented eves daring the execution of it, but here there was
so such feeling. The unfortunate young woman struggled
with him for life—he fought with her to the last, and never
left her until she was ire a state when he might reasonably
have expected that hisi crime had been fully accom-
plished. He could not, therefore, in such • came, find
say ground for holding out • hope that the sentence
would net be carried out, end In • few days his
career would ia all probability end. The law allowed him
time to prepare for that period. In a few days he would
enter upon a state of existence, for good or fur evil, which
would, last for ever. It was no part of his (the learned
judge's) commission to work upon his fears, by reminding
him art the fate of ame who died in unrepenting sin, nor to
cheer him by any hopes of pardon, if he sincerely r. patted.
A minister of the gospel was appointed for that purpose,
and he entreated him to listen to the advice he would give
him, and he mewed him that he would find more comfort
in that than in anything else upon which he could fix his
consideration in this world. The learned judge I:occluded
by directing that the prisoner should be removed to the
Surrey County Gaol, and ordered, ha the usual form, that
the sentence of death should be there carried into effect.
The prisoner, who exhibited the same indifference he had
shown during the trial, heard the sentence without betray-
ing the slightest emotion, and when the learned judge con-
cluded, he walked briskly away from the dock, looking
carelessly round the court.
CHAROZ OF MANSLAUGHTRA AGAINST • MAGICAL
STODANT.

Marks Thomas rearms, medial student, surrendered to
take his trial for manslaughter.
I A oill had been preferred before the grand jury for the
same offence, bat they threw it out, and the defendant was
now arraigned upon the oaroner's inquisition. It alleged
that on the 9:11 of September, 1849, one Rickard David
Peirce was sick and ill, and uable to attend to hie usual
labour and busines, and that the defendant, being • stu-
dent of medicine undertook to mat him medically, and
Ito give him medicines while he was so sick, and ill, and
unable to attend to his labour; and that he, having so
oontractad, did salawfolly and feloniously, upon the said
9th of September and on divers other days. assault the
said David Richard Pearce, and unlawfully refused to
allow bun, and p eel him from having, sufficient food
and victuals for the nourishment of his body, it being his
duty as such medical • lyiser to have allowed him such &ME
cient food and nourishment, and for want thereof the de-
, ceased became mortally sick and distempered, and died, end
that the defendant by the manner and means aforesaid, did
feloniously kill and slay him.
Mr. liorry was for the prosecution ,• Serjeant Wilkins,
Mr. Cla kens, and Mr. Party were for the derma.
I Mn. Pearce said—l em the widow of the deceived, and
the defendant is his brother. My husbacd was attacked by
cholera on th- Bth of September, and a maiml gentleman
named Hurls was sent for, and he attended him, and raw
him three times on that day, and sent na,diabies for him.
Mr. Harris continued to attend him until Sandal, evening,
the 9th, and the next day the defendant came and took
charge of him, end continued to do so until the Wednesday
following, wean Mr. Davis, another medical gentleman, was
called in. From the Mobley to the Wednesday the defen-
dant ordered that his brother should not have anything but
iced-water and medicine, and I gave him nothing but what
he ordered. Mr. Golorty, another doctor, was called in on
Thureday, the 13th, and he proscribed medicine for stylists-
band. My husband Mud on the 18th.
By Sealant Wilkins—l have known the defendant ten
years and I believe for the last flea he has been studying
medicine, and I have heard that he has given lee urea upon
the physisal esienees at Mayoralty College, and that he had
attended the lectures of several eminent medical men. My
husband had some arrowroot on the 11th, but he vomited it
up, and I afterwards gave him some weak gruel. The de-
emed wished to sea his brother, and he was sent for in con
sequence. The defendant ordered 'gruel for the deceased on
Tuesday, and told me to give it him two teaspoonsful at a
time. The defendant, I believe, was himself attacked with
ehol-ra on the 13. u, and Mr. Gobrey than attended my hus-
band till his death. . . .

firri;ut Viiliditi subaitted that this ',ideas, put an sad
to the ass.

Mt. Justice Mauls said he 'opposed there would be some
evidence that the death was the malt of the abstinence on
the Monday ens Tuesday.
Mr. Bactund RUT'S said—l am a surgeon, and I was
called on to attend the deceased on the Sunday. I found
him suffering from malignant cholers, and in a very critical
slats. I saw him three times during the day, and in the
evening, although I considered belted somewhat rallied, yet
he wu is a vary dangero..s condition. Having heard that
the demased had • brother in the profess on I wished to see
him facades that we might have • consultation upon the
um, and the defendant was introduced to me, end after some
conversation be said that as everything bad been done that
could the wider the old system, he should like to try the
effect of the homoupathic system, and I consented to give up
the ease to him. Isa v the deceased the day after the •. _fen-
dant bad taken the charge of hint and he appeartd conaider-
ably reliev. d, and reaction had taken plus. The following
day the deceas-d was not quite so well, and 1 did not Fee him
egsin until the day Delon his death.
By Serjeant Wilkins—When I saw the deceased the first
tine the disuse appeared to me sufficiently arrest to have
caused tie dtath.

Mr Justice Maule—Did you observe anything which in-
duced you to Wiens that the defendant had acted improperly
in the mi.'? _ _

WIITI did

Mr. Justice Maule—Would it be a proper courts, in the
we of a cholera patient who wev in a state of collapse, to
FiTS solid f4cid, or would the bowels be in a condition to
receive it ? _

--Wain us— Ho could have had liquid food.
Mr. Justice Mauls—Why do you not answer the ques-
tion ? WOJ it be proper to give solid food ?
Mr. lark.. Maule—Then why don't you say so? Ton
mini.% as well have said he could hays put on a clean shirt,
if the answer 3 on formerly gave.
1.. e jury said they were quito satisfied there was no evi-
dean., to support the chirp.
Mr. Jug,* Manle—Row any man could be found to say
that this defendant was guilty of manslaughter, I cannot
coac.i.v. It appears that he we, called in in a dupers
case, and that he did evarythirg it was pantile to do under
the wrcuissieneaps.

A le:diet of Not Guilty was then taken, and the defer
