opened this amain before the Right Hoe. the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Sir F. ri. Moors, Lawrence,
Rom, and ; Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Abide., Mr.
Sheriff Leak, Mr. Under Sheriff Gammon, ke.
Theft me 1W prinemen for trial at this swim.
The Recortkr, in his charge to the greed jury, mid
that the number of piece.,, fur trial at this session
was not larger thin would be expected from the
interval that had Awed since the last session,
but he did act renseseler say instance in which SO many
primers were charged with capital offences ss on the pre•
sent oximies. There were three came of murder, and the
whole of them were made under rather peculiar cinema
stances. The first wee • charge against an officer on board
a merchant vessel id having killed one of the crew by shoot-
ing him with • pistoL In this case them would be no doubt
that there we. a good deal of dissetaidactioa on board the
vciecl on account of the water, and that a threat
was milk by the doomed to tie the captain down if
he did out go to the Inland of Aecension to get fresh water
awl if env attempt of this eon had been uncle the prisoner
would have ham clearly justified in resisting it. The
learned recorder then called the attention of the grand jury
to th.- distiectioo between the offences of manslaughter and
and raid it was for them to consider whether,
eider the circumstances, the prisoner could he held amenable
to a higher charge than that of manslaughter. His lord-
ship sent referred to the case of Anne Padfield for the
murder of her illegitimate child ; and it appeared
to him that in this ease the grand jury ought
to return • true bill, so that the matter might be
fully investigated. The remaining charge of murder
was one apiest James Mullins, who was seemed of
having destroyed the life of an elderly woman named
hawley, who in her lifetime minded at Stepney. This
charge woe sought to be established against the
prisoner by a number of minute facts, all tend-
mg, ea true svggested, to show that the prisoner
must have boas the person by whom the of-
fence wee eorandtted. Hr lordship then proceeded
to direct the attention of the grand jury to the
whole of the facts misting to this extraordinary aims,
and said that no doubt the principal points mitered upon is
the part of the prosecution were that the prisoner had as-
deavoured to fix the crime open suethar pear", by mak*
it appear that he had erentari a wed sursoung a portion
of the property stolen Men the deserred en time rdsta at
