of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, trom the violence
of a farmer, Mr. Luke Bull, has created a great deal of
excitement here, which was at its crisis during tho
holding of the inquest here yesterday, before the local
Coroner, C. Best, Esq. 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 carne to her husband's
cottage, on bis way from work, and brought with him a
hedge stake, which, it appears, he had taken out of a
hedge on Mr. Bull's 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 left, 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-

erysipelas brought on by the injuries which he had
eluding 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 committed to take his trial at the next assizes.
MURDER.—A murder was committed at Liverpool
yesterday. It occurred in Simpson-street. Several
butchers were drinking in a public-house, when a quarrel
arose between one of them, named Unsworth and
another (whose name our reporter could 'lot 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 he
only survived a few moments. Un.worth meaNwhile
was taken to B ridewell, where ho awaits the judgment of
the coroner's jury.
