CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
Will;ant Brown an fAlow, was indicted for fe10"
niosly killing and slaying John Murnan, on the 15th of July'
From the statements of the widow of Murnan it appeared that
on the day in question, Brown, who was a carrier to Uxbridge,
had been employed to carry some pictures and other things f°t:,
the deceased, who was a travelling hawker. Brown chargel
2g., and the deceased offered to pay
f'd• only. The result
was a quarrel, and Brown struck the deceased several times.,
When he was down he knelt upon his chest, and still continued
striking him. The deceased never rose from the ground
afterwards.

George Callendar saw Brown kneel upon the deceased And
strike him very much. The deceased cried out twice that
Brown was biting him ; afterwards he gave a scream, and tha
witness heard no more.

Cross-examiued by Mr. PA YNE —Brown was undertnot at
first, but being stronger than the deceased, he soon got 13 r
permost. _

Several other witnesses who were present stated the ex:
tremc violence of the prisoner to the deceased ; •that 13rorol
appeared to have been drinking very much, and the decease
was the worse for liquor,
George Phillip Gill, a surzeon, residing at Uxbridge;
stated that he was called upon on the 15th of July, to see Jo°
Murnan, about half-past nine o'clock in the evening-. He '"'"_,
then dead. On the Monday following, he examined the body'
The dece:.:sed had a very large heart, which would cause deafh
if he was violent or excited. He had no doubt the deceased
died from excitement, coupled with the prisoner kneclint uper'
him ; the former of which would cause the too rapid eircula'
tion of blood, and the latter prevent its flowing altc,,,rether. In
the state of the deceased's heart excitement alone might caus°
death.
Mr. Robert Norton, another surgeon, corroborated the el'
deuce of Mr. Gill, and stated that it was
impossible for a Me'
dical man to say whether the deceased. died from excitemeat,
or from the bruises inflicted by the p'. loner.
The Jury, under the direction 'of Mr. Baron GriasEY,
quitted the prisoner.
James Sullivan was indicted for feloniously killing and slay''
ing Hugh Wood, on the 2d July.
From the evidence it rlppeared that the deceased and
person named Keogh, e.,1 the 2(1 of July, were loading a Ca:. in Bridge-yard, Southwark, with potatoes ; when it was nearly
loaded the cart tilted up and threw the deceased and Ke°ga
out. The former was so much bruised by the fall that he die
the next morning. The cause of the cart tilting up was the
removal by the prisoner of the trap-stick, which it appeared
had been done for a frolic, to give the deceased the trouble t'd
reloading the cart, When the prisoner was made aequaintet
with the fatal result of his frolic he expressed the great°
sorrow, aid appeared extremely hurt.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughtee, but
strongly recommended him to mercy.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS immediately sentenced him to pay 1
fine of Is. to the King, and to be imprisoned t',ll that an'"„ was paid. •
The prisoner immediately paid the fine, and was digcliarrid:,
Edward Spittle, who had been in the service of a 111
named Eyre, as butler, was convicted of stealing plate, hot
property of his mistress, to the value of 201. or 301., in
dwelling- house.
