PROARCCTIoX FOR MURDER.
_

John Ayer, 20, labourer, was indicted for the wilful mur-
der of Charles Pip• r, by stabbing him with a knife. Emma
Cranfield, 16, a good-looking girl, was also charged in the
indictment with being an accessory alter the fact ; but the
charge against her was abandoned by the eouneel for the
prosecution' and a verdict of Not Guilty was taken
for her baton the ease against the other prisoner was
entered upon. Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Parnell prosecuted ;
Mr. Serjeant C. Jones and Mr. Charnock were for the
defence.

On the night of the 30th March the prisoner, the girl
Crudeld, the deceased, his brother William, and several
other young men were at the White Horse public-house at
ftallington, a short distance from Ipswich, and they all left to-
gether about 12 o'clock at night. The prisoner and Crap/kid
were walking together, and when they had got a short die- '
tam:* along the road the deceased went up to the girl and
put his arm rowed her waist. This set of the deceased
gave offence to the prisoner, who told him io an
angry toes to leave the girl alone, and he replied
that he should sot, and added that he had as much
right to her al he (prisoner) had. According to the
testimony of the wftneues, the moment the deceased
said this the prisoner made a " put" at him with a clasp
knife aid thrust the blade into his stontaeh, and he instantly
fell to the ground, exclaiming " Oh my body, oh my body."
The brother of the deceased came up at this time and asked
the prisoner what was the matter, and he replied with an
oath " that he would soon let him know, and he would serve
him won, than the other," and he made a o ash at him with
the knife and stabbed him in the thigh. It appeared that
after this the prisoner and Cranfield walked away together,
and upon their being foUowed and the prisoner being ked
for the knife, he denied having one in his possessios, and he
was then seen to pus it to the girl, who put it in her
pocket. The unfortunate deceased was taken home, and upon
his being examined by a surgeon, it was found that he had
received a wound a short distance from the navel, which
was an inch and a half long, and two inchu deep, and this
caused his death two days afterwards.
Mr. Unjust JOSas made a most earnest and forcible
address to the jary, on behalf of the prisoner, and said that
althowelt felt that, under the circumstances, it would be
imperil*, to risen him from a conviction for maralanhter,
yet he treated the jury would take that merciful view of the
we net envict him of the more serious crime, which
Mal open him the forfeiture of Lis life. The learned
serpent then urged upon the jury all the mitigating circus.
stapes that mid be brought forward for the prisoner, re-
marking particularly upon the absence of any previous
quarrel or ill will between him and the deceased, and
also upon the probability that if the deceased had not inter.
fend with the young woman the unfortunate occurrence
would not hays taken place, sad he euteuded that the jury
would be jualied in saying that the fatal blow had been
struck sada the influence of rudders pedalos and excite-
ment, aid apes net ground they might eharitably say that
be was only POW eel the anon etmemiasghter.
The Chief Nein, in emus* up, said that the learned
serjent who append kr the planer bad adopted a very
judicious line of damn *a it was perfectly clear that the
set of using the knits maw the eireumstauces that had
haul detailed could set he sad therefore the only
question for the*, woe whether there were any facts be-
fore them that would justify their finis' a verdict for the
minor 0(001111. His lordship then explained to the jury the
dislinction drawn by the law between the offences of mur-
der and manslaughter, and left it to them to say to whin
of those charges the prisoner had rendered himself
amenable.
