dote to return a true bill against the prisoner. There was
another case which involved lon of life, in which it sp-
js..irril that the prisoner and deceased were quarrelling on
topof en and the prisoner struck deceased and
knocked him oil the Lon, when the wheel of the vehicle
lass,' over him nal caused his death. That, however,
would mum., the milder charge of manslaughter. There
was another charge of manslaughter, in which it appeared j
that the primmer WIN quarrelling with his wife, and de-
mand interfered for the wife's protection, from which a
fight ensued. They were, however, induced to shake
heads, anal it appeared that shortly after this
the prisoner went up to decemod and sanl, " You struck
me in the eye," and struck him a violent blow, which
knocked him down and fractured hia skull. There wais soother
charge of manslaughter to which his lordship called the at-
tention of the gruel jury, against a female. Ilarriett Harris,
for musing the death of her child by ne4lect. The goodies
for them to decide was whether or not elle had the mesas
uf =innocence. As regarded pecuniary means there wan
so proof except that of her busload!, whole evidence could
sot be taken ; there was evideum of the oeighhours, however,
which went to show that she was away three or four
days together ia • state of intoxication, and the neighbours
gave the child food out of companion. There was no doubt
the child had died from want of proper nourishment.
His lordship said Le was sorry tory that there was mother
of those cans arising out of fraudulent bankruptcy, and it
woe for them to inquire into the facts, and see if there was
sulkiest evidesee to establish • prima facie cue against
the primmer. His lordship then concluded by dismissing
the grand jury to their duties.
