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. lie
was very excited, and hie 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, awe out of his
room to ascertain what was the matter. Directly Haigh
saw him he burst away from the witness/ dial her mother,
and gave the old man a blow which knocked his head
against the drawers, and caused him to fall on the toor
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
