Marlow We , 22, a reepeetable-looking
reung man, wee with the manslaughter of Stephea
Blake, Lis father-in- w.
Mr. Warner Sleigh conducted the prosecution. and Mr.
Ribton was counsel for the defence.
The circumstances of the case were of • very painful
diameter. The prisoner was in the service of • gentle-
men living at Moulsey, as coachman, and it appeared that
he had married the daughter of the deceased. she being at
the time only sixteen years of age. The parents
were aware of the marriage, but they did not
.rem to have been consenting parties to it, and
the marriage did not appear to have turned out
very hapily. The deceased occupied the position of valet
to Mx. eborley, of 31, Eaton-place, and it appeared that
on the llth of October the wife of the prisoner had gone
to visit her mother and father in Eaton-place, and they
were in the kitchen when the prisoner came to the house
and entered the room where they were. He was at the
time the worse for liquor, and by the direction of Mr.
Corley be was requested to leave the place. Some alterca-
tion seemed to have taken place between the prisoner and
the deceased, and the latter told the prisoner he was a
vagabond, and asked him what he intended to do for his
wife, at the same time stating that he had never done
anything for her support since their marriage. The pri-
soner, upon this, told the deceased that he might take
his daughter and do what he liked with
her, and the deceived then repeated that he wan
a vagabond. Upon this the prisoner appeared to
have struck the deceased • violent blow on the eye, which
cat ft open, and he bled profusely, and the prisoner then
seized him by the neckcloth, swung him round, and
threw him down, and fell violently upon hint. The wife
of the deceased interposed, and the prisoner was locked
in the room, and when this had been done the prisoner
appeared to have been very violent, and he called to the
deceased's wife to let him out, and made use of the ex-
pression that he would " murder the little yet." At
Era it was thought that the deceased had not received
any very serious injury, but he gradually sank and died
about ten days after he had received the injury. Upon
a poet-mortem examination taking place it was discovered
that three of the sibs of the deceased had been broken,
and that one of the broken bonne had penetrated the
pleura and caused congestion of the lungs, and death was
the result of this injury. Immediately after the occur-
rence the prisoner seemed to have exhibited the utmost
sorrow and remorse for what bad happened, and he wrote
several letters to his wife and his mot-in-law entreating
their forgiveness for what he had done.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended
him to mercy on the grounds that the act bad been done
in the heat of passion, and without premeditation.
Mr. Ribton urged, in mitigation of punishment, the cir-
cumstances under which the act was committeillantattee
fact that the deceased had made use of abusive
to the prisoner before he assaulted him.
Mr. Baron Pigott said that the prisoner had certainly
been guilty of • very unmanly act, but it was clear that the
act was not premeditated, and the jury had recommended
him to mercy. Acts of violence of this kind must, however,
be repressed by the law, and be felt it his duty to sentence
him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six
months.
