Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson conducted the prose-
cution ; Mr. Lilley defended Woods and Eastwood ;
Mr. Chandler defended Foyle and Blackman ; and Mr.
Sumner defended Smith.
Mr. Clarkson, in opening the- case to the jury, said
that he appeared with his learned friend, Mr. Robinson,
to prosecute the present indictment on behalf of the ma •
gistratee of the county. The deceased hal for many
years been connected with the police, and at the
time of his death he wan an inspector of the Surrey
Constabulary, and the prisoners were charged witb
having caused his death by brutM violence while in
the execution of his duty. He then proceeded ti
detail the facts of the case, and said he believed
that in the result the only questions the jury would have
to decide were, whether the prisoners had committed the
crime of wilful murder, or, whether, upon the evidr nce
that would be laid before them, they would be justified in
finding them guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter.
The fdlowing evidence was adduced.
Jame; Freestone said—l am a constable of the Surrey
nonstabulary, and the deceased was my inspector, and
stationed at Haslemere. About 10 minutes after twelve
o'clock on the night of the 29th July the deceased and I
were w dking thron;h the town, when we heard a noire
in the King's Arms public-house, and people were sing-
ing, and the deceased said he would see if he could not
stop it, and we went into the house and the deceased told
the people who were there that it was time to shut up and
they must leave. There were between 20 and 30 " nav-
vies' and labourers present, a id the prisoners wereamong
them, but they were all very quiet, and went out of the
house. When they got outside the prisoner Wo ids
went up to the deceased in an angry manner, and asked
him why he had tapped him on the shoulder. The de-
ceased replied that he had not hurt him, and his only
object was to have the house cleared. The pri-oner
Woods then put himself in a fighting attitude, and I
thought he was going to strike the deceased, and I
shoved him down. I was then knocked down myself,
and I called for assistance, and Mr. Bishop, the surgeon,
came up and Smith attempted to strike him, and Mr.
Bishop knocked him down. We then took Smith into
custody, and placed him in the cage ; but we found there
was no lock to it, and deceased went to his house to fetch
one, leaving me and Mr. Bishop outside the cage to watch
the prisoner. The deceased returned in a few minutes,
and I then observed the prisoners Woods, Eastwood,
Foyle, and Blackman coming towards us, and all said,
"Let that man out of the cage." Donaldson said he would
not do so. There were then some angry words between
them, and Woods, who had a plough whippance in his
bands, lifted it up, and with both hands struck the in-
spector on the head with it. The effect of the b.() os
wart to fell the deceased to the ground backwards. Up
to this time the deceased had no weapon of any kind in
his possession. At this moment I struck one of the pri-
soners with the remains of my staff that had been broken.
I don't know which of the men it was I struck, or whe-
ther I knocked him down, but I was very soon knocked
down myself, and while I was upon the ground Black-
man and Foyle struck me with large bludgeons. When
I got up I had a set-to with the prisoner again, and I
was knocked down a second time close to Inspector Do-
nald•on, who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
After a short time I again got up, and Smith struck me
with a stick, and we had a desperate struggle together,
and both fell to the ground. I was so weak at this time
that I could not hold him down, and he got up and beat
me with a stick as I was lying on the ground. I called
murder, and said, " Smith, don't kill me." I called for
assistance, and a person named Finlayer, who lived close
by, opened the window, and Smith ran away. I was then
taken home, and kept my bed for five or six weeks in
consequence of the injuries I received. I never saw the
deceased alive again.
Cross-examined—The men were quiet enongh when
we went into the public-house, except that they were
singing. The deceased was a very quiet, good-tempered
man, and was very much respected. I did not see Woods

to the ground, and the other prisoners surrounded me im-
mediately. I knocked Woods down with my staff, and the
staff was broken by the force of thesblow. I believe I hit
him over the left eye. Smith had said before this thet I
I ought to be knocked down myself, or words to that
effect. It was after I knocked Woods down thatlcalled
for assistance, and when Mr. Bishop came up the first
thing he did was to knock Smith down, and the deceased
then ordered me to bring him to the cage. The sticks
the men had were large sticks.
By Mr. Chandler—l have no doubt that the whole of
the prisoners called out to let Smith out of the cage.
Smith was not very much hurt before he was taken to
the cage. I did not see much blood about him. Mr.
Bishop knocked him down with a stick—it was-rather a
thick stick.
William Aylwin said—l was ostler at the King's
Arms, Haslemere, at the time this affair occurred, and I
saw the deceased and the constable Freestone go into
the house shortly after 12 o'clock. The prisoners all
came out of the house, and Donaldson and Freestone

uproar.
Mr. LovF, Cliaiimati of the committee of investiga-
tion, said he hoped that the meeting would allow him to
make a few observations. The report was stated
to be a one-sided one, but he could say in all ho-
nesty and truth that the cmitnittee had endea-
voured without fear or affection to devote them-
selves with satisfaction to arrive at a fair termi-
nation. (Cheers.) With respect to the evidence of Mr.
Gooch and Mr. Waddington, it had been stated that
that evidence had been tampered with, bet he beece,e,l to
say in all honesty, that that evidence had not been
altered in the slightest degree. (Cheers.) With respect
to the allegations made by the committee against Mr.
Waddington, it was stated by that gentleman that
he required time to answer theta, but they were dis-
tinct
and plain, and he thought that any Englishman
could answer such questions within four-and-twenty
hours. (Cheers and uproar.)
Mr. Bruce, after addressing a few observations in
dumb show, was understood to object most
strongly to the adjournment of the meeting
till the first week in January. lle begged to
say that he did not believe that Mr. Waddington
spoke the feelings of the board when he moved the ad-
journment of the meeting. He begged to move " That
the Report of the Committee of Investigation, appointee
on the 31st day of August last, to inquire into the
affairs of this company, and which has been distributed
among the proprietors, be now taken as read, and be re-
ceived and adopted, and (mitered on the proceeJings of
the meeting of this day."
A SHAREHOLDER begged to move, as an amendment,
that the report be received but not adopted.
Mr. 'MITCHELL called upon- the meeting to accept the
report, in a eery forcible speech, contending their so
thing would be the means of saving their property.
Mr. MARGRAVEB defended his conduct, as a director,
and called on the meeting to proceed with the business
for which they had been called together.
The CHAIRMAN then put the question of receiving the
report, and that the meeting be adjourned, which was
received with great expressions of disapprobation. Six
hands only were held up for it, but a forest of bands
were__ held up against it.
The CRAMMAN then put the amendment, that the re-
port be received and adopted, which was carried by an
overwhelming majority amidst loud cheers.
The Directors demanded a poll, which was met with
cries of " No, no."
A SHAREHOLDER said it was not competent for the
Directors to demand a poll under the circumstances.
Mr. MAYNARD (
deolieitor) was of opinion a poll could
be demanded an granted. (This statement created
great confusion, three or four gentlemen speaking at the
same time in as many portions of the room).
The CHAIRMAN, amidst cries of " Turn him out" and
Resige,„and a volley of hisses, groan; and other marks
of disapprobation, said he should adjourn the meeti •
ng to
take the poll.
A SILIRICHOLDER (a member of the Investigation
Committee), we believe, at length obtained a hearing,
and succeeded in moving the following resolution :
"That the continued sacrifice of the interests of the
Esetern Counties Railway Company by Mr. Wadding-
ten, during the time that he has held the office of chair-
man of the board, disentitles him to the further con ti•
dance of the shareholders, and that he be no longer the
chairman of the board of directors of this company
(loud cheers)—that his pay as chairman cease and be
determined from this day, and that he be requested to
resign his seat at this board."
Mr. TIOwE Seconded the resolution, and said it was
not the first time that such a proposition had been made
to the chairman, and it was the duty of the meeting; to
adopt the resolution.
Mr. WADDINGTON said charges had been deliberately
mad against him, and he would deliberately answer
