The Huddersfield Murder,

THE INQUEST.

Yesterday Mr J. R. Ingram, deputy coroner for the
Huddersfield district, held an inquest at the White Cross
Inn, Bradley, on the body of Joseph Pogson, cotton twitter,
64 years of age, who was brutally murdered on Saturday
morning by Joseph Haigh, of Bradley, at whose house he
lodged, and who is believed to be insane. The murderer
was present in the custody of Superintendent Heaton, and
his manner during the inquiry was that of a man suffering
from fits of mental aberration.
The principal witness called was the eldest daughter of
the prisoner, 15 years of age. She said she lived with her
father and mother, and slept with a younger sister in a
room on the first floor of the house, opposite to that
which was occupied by the deceased. Her father and
mother slept down stairs. About four o'clock she was
awoke by her mother's screams, and directly afterwards
her mother ran into the room where the witness was
sleeping. She tried to shut the door after her, but was
prevented by the prisoner, who burst the door open. He
was very excited, and his eyes rolled in his head. Witness
saw him strike her mother on the side of the head, and
jumped out of bed and tried to restrain him. She and
her mother succeeded in holding him down on the bed.
At this moment Pogson, the deceased, came out of his
room to ascertain what was the matter. Directly ilaigh
saw him he burst away from the witness and her mother,
and gave the old man a blow which knocked kis head
against the drawers, and caused him to fall on the floor
near the hearthstone. Witness again got hold of him, and
tried to hold him. He said if she did not leave loose he
would do for her to. He then stamped upon Pogson's head

juries of the deceased.
This was the whole of the evidence.
The Coroner then summed up to the jury. They had to
decide how the deceased came by his death, whether the
prisoner was the cause of it, and whether in their opinion
he was euho. l'

clearly instructed them as to the law upon. the point, he lett
them to consider their verdict.
The jury, after a brief deliberation, brought in a verdict
of manslaughter.
The prisoner was then committed upon the coroner's war-
rant to take his trial at the York assizes upon that charge.
