CRIMINAL COURT-(T fIIS DAY.)

OLD COVIV.P.

Isaac Falethorpe was indicted for the manslaughter cf -
Watson, a sailor on board the ship St. James, American
.packet. ship, on the 2d June last.
31r. Chambers defended the prisoner.
Frederick Mayor was master on board the St. James. The
prisoner was cook on board the vessel, and the deceased was
steward. On the 21 June 1:?st, was on deck, and saw
the prisoner and deceased there. They were quarrelling,
and they put themselves in a position to fight. The deceased
was challenging the prisoner. Witness went up and parted
them. Din not see any blow struck by either party. If
there had been a blow, must have seen it.
James Russell deposed that he was a seaman on board the St.
James. Saw the prisoner and the deceased quarrelling on the
2d June. Saw the prisoner strike the steward a blow, but
could not say whether it was a severe one, or on what part
of the body the blow took effect. ' '
Several witnesses were called, who deposed to having seen
the prisoner and deceased quarrelling, but none of them saw
any blow struck. One of them deposed that the deceased
had received a fracture of the ribs about two months pre-
vious to the day in question.
- Mark Browne Garrett deposed that he was a surgeon, re-
siding in the New-road. On the :3d of June he was called in
to see the deceased. The deceased was of a lull habit of body,
and On examinati.m the w itness could not tell whether his ribs
had been fractured or not, but the remedies he applied were
for a fractur. d rib, and they seemed to relieve the deceased.
W;triest a tended him for some dap, when he died. After
death the Lodv was opened by the witness. On the-
left side of the lungs there was a considerable adlie.-
sion, add the right side was considerably - congested.
One of the lower ribs was fractured. From that exa-
mination he should say that the cause of death was from
inflamation, occasioned by the fractured rib. The fracture
seemed to have been a recent fracture. It could not have been
so long ago as two mouths.

Crisfe'-xam.ned—Found the ribs considerably ossified. The
effect of that ossification was to make the ribs more brittle.
If the party in such a case sustained a fall, or was put to any
sudden exertion, it would be probable that the ribs would snap.
Cases were on record of persons whose ribs were in this state
who, on suddenly turning round, the ribs have snapped.
Part of the lungs were also ossified. Would not take on him•
self to say that the fracture he saw might have been caused two
months before, but thought it improbable.
Mr. CHAMBERS, having addressed the Jury, and the
Learned Judge having summed up, the Jury, without any he-
sitation, returned a seidiet of—Not Guilty.
John field, aged 19, was indicted for the wilful murder of
Elias Enough tilcn the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the
Admiralty of England.
There WILS a second count in the indictment, charging the
prisoner with cutting and wounding with intent to do some
grievous bodily harm. •
The facts of the case have recently been before the public.
hc Jury returned a verdict of Guilty on the second count;
and the prisoner was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation,

MAR LBORO UGH-STREET.
THIS 1.).AY.)
Edward Hall, a young man cf respectable appearance, was
placed at the bar, when polica constable No. 66 of the A divi-
s►on, stated that between five and six o'clock yesterday after-
noon, while on duty in Hyde l'ark, the pri,oner came up and
accosted him, saying that he wished " to give himself up," as
he had absconded with 501. belonging to his mistress, and was
so unhappy in his, mind that he had resolved to bring himself
to justice. Witness, therefore, took him to the station-house.

lifr. MALTBY inquired if the prisoner wished to say any-
thing.

The prisoner (who seemed in a very dejected state of mind)
said that he persisted in the truth of the statement he had
made to the police constable. He had for some years past
been in • the employ of a Miss Harriet Hatfield, a
maiden lady, residing at Brimhill, near Shiffnal, Staf-
fordshire, as farming bailiff, and, about six weeks ago,
having received on his mistress's account the sum of 601.
for corn, he was, in an evil hour, although he had had much
larger sums in his possession, tempted to abscond with it, and
come up to London, where he had smothered his feelings of
self-reproach by plunging into an unceasing round of dissipa-
tion. lie could, however, no longer endure his sense of guilt,
and theref:re gave hi:l:self up to the police constable, or else
he fdt quite sure he should have committed suicide.
Mr. 111Armly ordered him to be remanded until Saturday
next, and in:the interim Miss Hatfield to be apprised of what
had transpired.
