DEATH B VIOLENCE.—ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER
AGAINST A Bo! OP TEN YEARS ON AGE.—Late on Wed-
nesday night, Mr. J. Payne, the Deputy Coroner, held
an inquest at the Hand and Shears, Cloth-fair, Smiths
tield, on the body of Stephen James Cole, aged eight
years, son of a labouring man, living at No. 10, Cloth-
lair. The deceased's death was occasioned by the gross
violence of a schoolfellow, named William Penfold,
aged ton years. Mr. H. Dowden, chemist and druggist.
No. 110, St. John-street, in the above vicinity, stated
that he saw the deceased on the 22d instant, and he was
then suffering from inflammation of the bowels, pro-
duced by a kick he received a day or two previously.
Leeches and other remedies were applied, but the de-
ceased gradually grew worse, and expired on Monday
Last. Death was evidently the result of the internal
injury caused by the kick. The evidence of several
other witnesses proved that deceased, together with
tuheoupdraiysonweerek prisoner, went
tetowtehree Bait play together in shopsgate School, and on
Sun-
court, when a quarrel ensued between them. The pri-
soner said deceased owed him sid. for cherrystones, and
upon deceased's refusal to give up the money, the boy
Pentold became enraged, and kicked him in the abdo
men, thereby inflicting a frightful wound. Deceased,
whilst on his death-hed, declared that the boy Penfold
had inflicted the injury, and the fact was corroborated
by other boys of the school, but strongly denied by the
prisoner, who did not appear to exhibit the slightest re-
worse. After a lengthened investigation the jury re-
corded
the subjoined verdict, " The jury •think that the
deceased died from inflammation of the bowels, brought
on by a kick inflicted by his schoolfellow, named Wil-
liam Penfold, between ten and eleven years of age, but
there is not sufficient evidence to justify them in saying
that it was inflicted under such circumstances as to make
the boy Penfold guilty of the crime of manslaughter."
['he Coroner then severely reprimanded the prisoner, who
was liberated.
