MIDDLESEX.

On Wednesday two young men of the names of James
Carpenter and George Norman, boatmen, were brought
up before Messrs. T. Dagnall and G. Greville, the sitting
magistrates of Uxbridge, for examination, the former
charged with having caused the death of William Nor-
man, aged 23 years, and the latter with having aided and
abetted in causing the same. Samuel Jordan deposed
that he was the keeper of the Harefield lock, on the
Grand Junction Canal. On the morning of Saturday
last, between seven and eight o'clock, the prisoner James
Carpenter came to witness and said he wanted to fill the
lock for two boats to go through, but he had not got the
lock ready when the boats came up to the lock. William
Norman, the deceased, was steering the first boat which
came up to the lock, and some very high words took
place between the deceased and the prisoner Car-
penter because the lock was not ready. The de-
ceased then got out of his boat, and used some
very aggravating expressions towards Carpenter,
upon which Carpenter asked deceased if he
could make him what he had called him, and deceased
said he either could or would, witness could not tell
which. Deceased then immediately threw off his cap,
and began fencing at the prisoner Carpenter. Both
Carpenter and the deceased then walked on to the road
which crosses the bridge at the locks, and began fighting,
and fought for some time. Witness did not see who
struck the first blow. After they had fought for about
ten minutes, witness went on to the bridge, which was
about ten yards off from them, and called to them to
leave off, saying that they had had quite fighting enough,
and they had better attend to their boats. The pri-
soner, George Norman, is a brother of the deceased,
and was then there present, as he had been from the
first of the affray. He likewise begged his brother
(the deceased) to give over fighting, and go about his
business. The prisoner Carpenter made the reply,
" That's just as he likes," meaning deceased. Both
then went into Mr. Goodman's field, which adjoins
the canal, and renewed the fight. About five minutes
afterwards witness went into the field, and then
saw the deceased down on the grass in a sitting position,
and his brother (the prisoner Norman) behind him, ap-
parently trying to lift him up. The prisoner Norman,
on seeing witness, called out for a jug of water, which
witness instantly fetched ; and, as he gave it to
George Norman, witness stooped and looked in de-
ceased's face, and immediately said he was a corpse.
The prisoner Norman instantly asked witness if any
doctor was at hand. Witness told him one lived about a
mile off, and sent off for him directly. The prisoner
Norman cried very much when witness said he was a
corpse. Mr. Kyd, the surgeon, came, as did also Fil-
kills, a Harefield constable. Mr. Kyd said that de-
ceased had been dead about half an hour. Witness
pointed Carpenter out to the police as the person who
had killed the deceased. Carpenter was standing
crying on the bridge when he did so. The body was
afterwards removed to the King's Arms Inn, Harefield.
to await the inquest. The Bench upon that evidence
discharged the prisoner Norman, and admitted him
as a witness. George Norman then corroborated the
evidence of the first witness. Deceased struck the first
blow. Mr. Hayes Kyd, surgeon, of Harefield, deposed
to having been called to attend deceased, whom he found
as described. He opened a vein, but very little bloOd

*owed. Considered death resulted from a violent con-
cussion of the brain. T. 97 deposed to taking Carpenter
into custody, and on asking him if he had not been
fighting, he said he was sorry to say that he had, and
that the man that he had been fighting with was
dead. He then said he wanted his breakfast. The pri-
soner, in answer to the charge, said he did not follow the
deceased into the field for two or three minutes, and that
he would have left off fighting before if the deceased
would have let him. The Bench said it was their duty
to commit him. The prisoner was shortly afterwards
conveyed to Newgate by the Uxbridge coach.
