CEIARGE OF I YONICIDE.—Henry Stockman, mate of the
schooner Bruns sick, was brought up by Oliver, 31, of
the River police,, charged with .having caused the death
of a black boy, n timed Joseph Frost, belonging to the
ship, by imtnersin g him in the river.
Oliver stated that about six o'clock on Thursday
evening, whilst noar the Surrey Canal, ho heard that a
boy had been d.To wned from the Brunswick, which was
lying alongside.. Ho went on hoard to make inquiries,
when the prisor Le r said that the boy had been drunk in
the boat, and an. attempt was made to get him on board
by hooking a i o,oe round him, and ballasting him up.
During the ope to tion the hook came athwart the mid-
ships, where it
.;'c't undone, and the boy fell into the
water. Oliver, pi irceiving that the boat was higher up
than the placer where the mate said the hook had
touched against the mids.hips, told the latter he did
not believe his statement, and took him into Cll4.
tody. The ve:i.sel sailed yesterday, but he (Oliver)
had two of the crew who were present on the occa-
sion, and from vi liom he learned that the prisoner had
been sousing the iboy in the water, when hie death was
occasioned.

Henry Hamiltol i said the mate directed him to fasten
the rope round tl s boy, and when it was done the pri-
soner pulled him up. He then dropped him into the
water, when the rope slackened. The hook became un-
done, and the bop sank. He did not the boy's name, as
he (witness) had t ally just joined the ship, but he be-
lieved he was fib° tit 16 or 17 years old. The mate was
dipping him to g'ive him a cooling.
John Potter, another seaman, who had only recently
joined, said the I iltick boy was very drunk and very ob.
strepolous. The :nate directed a strap to be put round
him to pull him out of the boat, and then said, "We
will dip him." t ka: soon as ho was dipped the rope gave
way, and witness saw the boy throw his head and arms
up, after which lle immediately sank and was seen no
more. The mat e said he could not swim, and, jumping
into the boat dirt cted the painter to be let go, which Was
immediately dor He did all he could to recover the
boy, but could not succeed.
The prisoner d evied that he ducked the boy. Seeing
that he was very drunk, and that he was attempting to
come up the side, :he apprehended some danger, and or-
dered the rope to ibe made fast about him, for the pur•
pose of ballasting him on board. The hook unfortu-
nately touched am i dahips, and became undune, by which
means the-boy fe',/ into the water.
The case was u ,djourned for a week, to allow time to
make a search of ter the body.

DEATH OF THE REV. HENRY BREWER. —We
regret to state that this much respected and zeal-
ous Roman Catholic clergyman died at the house
of his aunt, Mrs. Davies, Carlton-terrace, Up-
per Parliament-street, on Tuesday afternoon last.
The deceased was, for two years, minister of
St. Anne's Church, Edge-hill ; hut, in consequence
of ill health, he was compelled to relinquish
his arduous dales at the end of September last,
Since then his health has continued to decline, though
up to the day of his death strong hopes were entertained
of his recovery. His first ailment was disease of the
heart, succeeded, by dropsy, of which he died. The Rev.
Gentleman received his early education in Germany,
but, upon the institution in which he pursued his studies
breaking up, he was removed to England, and finished
his education at Ampleiorth College, near York, where
be was ordained. He was removed from that institution
to St. Mary's Chapel in this town, where he remained
about two years. He was afterwards appointed to
Brownage, near Preston, and remained there for up-
wards of twenty five years. From that place he was
appointed to St. Anne's, Edge hill, on the opening of
that church, and remained there till the termination of
his ministerial career. The deceased was fifty-seven
years of age.—Liverpool Mercury.
