Charlotte Asiinall, the girl who lived in the
house, .and whom the Prisoner had called to, said,.
site should not have opened the door, but the Pri-
mmer threatened to break it open, said he was a
friend, and told his name ; she had been intimate:
with the Prisoner ,some years since, but he had
been to sea, and he was so much altered, she did not
recolle,t:t hint. She saw the Prisoner Strike the de-
ceased without any provocation, and she let four
watchmen into the house, in'consequende of the
alarm that was given.
Owen Thomas, the surgeon, that was sent for to
attend ihe deceased, said he found his breast-bone
deprived of muscular motion, and all sensation-of
feeling in that part gone ; a severe contusion in
the back of his neck to the back bone ; also a par-.
tial disilocation and compression of the spinal tuar
row. He, attended the deceased till the Wednes-
day evening, and then he was taken to the

teary. . - •
Dr. Brandreith, the surgeon belonging to the in-
mary, said, he opened the. body after death, and dis-.
covered several broken ribs ; and knowing that the
deceased had been aftlieted with a palsy, he searched
about the neck mid back, laid bare the bones,
found the spinal process of the 4th and sth bones
the neck completely fradured, the coats of the sPa',"
marrow, and the spinal marrow itself-much
and he was decidedly of opinion that the latter.in-
jury • was the cause of his death. .
- John. Smith,• the man who carried the deceased to
the infirmary, also attended him in his dying, mo-
. ments : said the deceased forgave the Prisoner, and
said he did" not believe it was his intention to
take his life, but that it
.was the effect of
The deceased reflected very much on his ()Inn bad
conduct, for being out at so late an hour, and going
into such a house ; and hoped that God would tot"
give tutu.
