Hannah Smith, the prosecutrix, occupies a house with her
mother. The night previous to the robbery, all the doors,
and out-doors were quite safe.. She went to bed about
half-past ten, and got up at six, when sho found the house

clothing from the drawers, which had been broken open. A
variety of articles were stolen, amongst which was a shirt

The prosecutor, on the 15th of September, was in the em-
ploy of Mr. Sumners. The prisoner was his brother-in-law,
and was in the same employ. On that day,- while he was
washing a puncheon, he was stooping down, when the'p '-
senor, with a hayfork, struck him on the head. He had n t
spoken a word to him that day; but the night before, t e
prisoner and the bookkeeper had a • quarrel, and the pros •
. I

tutor took him out of, the house ; then the prisoner was
intoxicated.

From tlie-vmssex4minatiQn of the prisoner, it appeared
that a few days before there had been some little family
quarrel.
Henry Warrington corroborated the prosecutor's state-
ment ; and the surgeon who examined the prisoner, found
two contused wounds, which were not of the least danger.
The jury returned. a verdict of unlawfully stabbing the
prosecutor; and 'his lordship, seeing they. were relations,
