a pain in her side. She /however went to her work (as a
shoebinder) the next morning as usual, but was obliged to
return home, and continued very ill for a fortnight. In the
month of December—about Christmas time—the deceased
was confined, and the medical man who attended her two
days afterwards observed that she had symptoms of con-
sumption. The child died, and on the 6th June the de.
ceased died also. About a month previous to her death she
made a statement to the =Nem width induced him to ex-
amine her chest, and he discovered that three of her ribs
were broken. Upon the post-mortem examination the
medical men were of opinion that she bad died of consump-
tion. They however considered that the disease might have
been produced by injuries such as bad been deseribed. The
law was, that although &party might be suffering horn 'mor-
tal disease, if it should appear that the death of that person
was accelerated by a blow or other act of violence., the party
inflicting such an injury was guilty of murder. The deposi-
tion of the deceased, take" by a magistrate shortly before her
death, and is presence of the prisoner, was then put in. The
statement was to this effect: she had been spending the day
in question with the meats of the prisoner at Horsham.
He did not speak to her the whole day, sad appeared angry.
On her attars heats he accompanied her aid during the
walk the prisoner complained that she hid told her mother
she was in the family-way. Words ensued, sad she urged
the prisoner to marry her, but he said he would not. She
then asked him what he intended to do for the child, and
he replied that he would do nothing for her or the
child. Thereupon the called him a blackguard, and he said
if she made use of that word again he would kick her.
61e repeated the term, upon which he kicked her and
struck her three violent blows with his flat on the left side.
She exclaimed " Lord have mercy upon me—you have
broken my ribs." She was about to fall, but he supported
ter in his arms. He walked on with her for a abort dis-
tance, and at length said he should not wait there to be
looked at. He had been drinking, but was not tipsy. She
walked home as well as she could. On the following morn-
ing she went to work as usual, but was unable to do any-
thing. She never told her mother of the treatment she had
received, thinking that the prisoner might marry her, and
"e injury would not be exposed. She knew (continued the
