was sentenced to pay to the Crown, he (prosecutor) hav-
ing been at considerable expense in bringing the de-
fendant to justice. The Learned Sergeant said the
better course would be for the applicant to petition Sir
G. Grey, the Home Secretary, upon the subject. That
lion. Baronet would refer the matter to him, and upon
his answsr would mainly depend the result of the peti-
tion. He must say that he had a strong opinion upon
the matter already, but it would not be prudent for him
to say then what it was. The prosecutor said he should
adopt the course suggested.
A FARMER COMMITTED FOP MANSLAUGHTER.—
CRACELEY, WEDNESDAY —The death of an imbecile old
man, named Barnes, living in this village, on the borders
of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, from the violence
of a farmer, Mr. Luke Bull, ha; created a great deal of
excitement here, which was at its crisis during the
holding of the inquest here yesterday, before the local
Coroner, C. Best, I],q. A good number of witnesses
were examined on the inquest, the chief of which were
Mr. and Mrs. Cole, in Whose cottage the violence
upon the person of the deceased was committed by
Bull. Mrs. Cole deposed that, a few evenings before
the deceased's death, Barnes came to her husband's
cottage, on his way from work, and brought with him a
hedge stake, whieb, it appears, he had taken out of a
hedge on Mr. Bull'.; farm. Deceased sat down in Cole's
cottage for a few minutes, at the expiration of which he
was followed by Mr. Bull, who charged him with having
taken the stake out of his hedge. Before a reply could
be made to the charge, it was followed up by Bull seizing
the stake and striking Barnes repeatedly with it across
the arms, legs, and body. He then lett, taking the
hedge stake with him. John Cole, husband to Mrs.
Cole, an old man almost blind, corroborated his wife's
testimony, and added that the deceased was 50 years
old, and affected in his, intellect. The stake was pro-
duced by the parish constable. It was a formidable
looking weapon. Other witnesses proved that the de-
ceased had lingered for nine days, when he died from
erysipelas brought on by the injuries which he had re-
ceived in the violent beating he had bad from Mr. Bull.
Mr. Prior, surgeon, attended him during the lour con-
cluding days of his illness, before which he had had no
medical advice. The jury having heard the evidence,
found a verdict of " Manslaughter against Bull," who
was coin witted to take his trial at the next assis
MURDER.—A murder was cemmitted at Liverpool
yesterday. It occurred in Simpson-street. Several
butchers were drinking in a public-house, when a quarrel
arose between one of thew, named Unsworth and
another (whose name our reporter could not learn).
Another butcher, named Clarke, attempted to interfere,
and while thus humanely engaged, he was stabbed in the
abdomen by Unsworth with a large knife. Assistance
was immediately procured, and he was taken to the hos-
pital, but the wound was of so dreadful a nature that be
only survived a few momente. Unsworth meanwhile
was taken to Bridewell, where he switits the judgment of
the coroner's jury.
