ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIF.---Carliale, Aug. 6.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)

TRIAL OF THE REV. 3. SMITH FOR MANBLAIIGHTER.
gWasilliam Arm-
Walton, on
thejols6epthh
strong.
Mr. Temple and Mr. Otter conducted the prosecution,
oSfmAitliprwilaslasitn,duicteledd faonrdhsalainn
and Mr. James and Mr. Thompson the defence.
The facts of this case are well known from their recent
extensive publication. The prisoner, who is a clergy.
into
the about 45 years of age, was accompanied
the dock by his wife. They were accommodated with
seats, and the prisoner appeared deeply to feel triii
position.

- Mr. TExPLE, in opening the case for the prosecution,
said the deceased, William Armstrong, was a farmer,
residing at a place called Sambrities, two miles over the
border, was respectably descended, was married, and Kati
two children, and was about 38 years of age, and was in
his neighbourhood generally respected. On the 16th April
last, having occasion to go to Brampton•market on busi-
ness, he dined with some friends there and drank freely.
He left to go home between 9 and 10 o'clock with a
neighbour named Elliott. It was then very moonlight.
They had not proceeded very far when the deceased,
who was on horseback, cantered off and was overtaken
by Elliott at Hetherington's public-house, and here they
met another neighbour named Richardson. On their
way home, and when not far from the lane which led
to Walton, the deceased rode quickly off, and was not
seen again alive. Nest day a little girl named Graham
found the body of the deceased lying at the parsonage-
gate, where the prisoner lived, and his pony standing near.
An alarm being given the villagers assembled, and the
prisoner came out of his house and looking at the body
said, " Oh, he's dead," and then returned into his house.
One of the villagers told him he had heard the reports
of pistols during the ni,Jit, the prisoner answered," Yes.
that he had beard a knocking at the door and fired."
He then stooped down and looked at a hole made in the
coat of the deceased, and said, it was he who shot the
man; they came about his house, he thought they were
going to break in upon him, and he fired. The ques-
tion for the jury would be, whether the prisoner had
acted under such circumstances and had taken such
reasonable precautions as would justify him in firing his
pistol as be had done. If he had not, he would be guilty
of manslaughter.
Thomas Richardson, farmer, a neighbour of the de-
ceased, was then called and proved leaving Hethering-
ton's public-house on the 16th of April with the de-
ceased, who was rather tipsy. It was a very moonlight
night. When near Walton-lane the deceased cantered
off in the direction of Walton, and they did not see him
again

-William Elliott was with the deceased at Brampton,
and went with him to Hetherington's. He corroborated
the last witness.

Mary Ann Graham, a little girl, thirteen years old,
who was in the habit of taking milk to the prisoner's
house every morning, proved that on the morning of
the 17th of April, on going through his gate, at the
entrance to the shrubbery, she saw a man lying on
his back inside the gate. His hat and stick were lying
by his side. She was afraid to go through, and went
back and called a neighbour named Nixon, who went
with her to the parsonage. She also saw Ann Glen-
dinning, and told her what she had seen, and Mrs.
Nixon and Ann Glendinning went up to the body, and
the prisoner came out and went to them. He was dressed
in his ilinnel shirt, trousers, and slippers. She asked
asked him if he was dead, and he replied—" Sure enough
he is dead; what shall we do?" She said there must be
somebody fetched. The prisoner then went back into
his house, and she went for William Taylor and Walter
Phillips. When they came back the prisoner was dressed.
The prisoner then said, " I have been the occasion of the
death of this poor man," and they discovered who the
deceased was.

Joseph Foster said that be went a little before eight
o'clock to the prisoner's gates, and saw the prisoner
come to the body of the deceased, and heard him make
the remark stated by the last witness. A man named
Taylor said, " The man has shot himself," and witness
said, " No, Mr. Smith has shot him ;" and the prisoner
again repeated the expression, " I've been the death of
the poor man." The prisoner then stated that somo
persons came to his house during the night, and made
such a noise that he got a pistol. Ile thought they
were going to break in, and he fired out of the door,
and had taken away the life of a man: and he would
now give up his own to bring the other back.
Ann Glendinning, a servant to the prisoner in April
last, stated that the prisonc,r was married, and had tour
children. She slept over the study, and went to bed at
eleven o'clock, leaving Mr. and M:s. Smith in the dining-
room. She was awoke some time after by loud knocks.
She then heard the front door bang, and heard some one
go upstairs quickly. She then fell asleep. In this
morning the little girl Graham told her about the body
of a man being in the shrubbery, and she went to it. The
witness then corroborated what the other witness had
stated. On cross-examination, she stated that the win-
dows of the study below where she slept made a great
rattle whe❑ moved. Mr. Smith had said that he heard
this window rattle, and went into the study, and, being
alarmed, he went and got his pistols and then ran to the
door and fired off his pistols and slammed the door to
again, and'then ran upstairs, and that he felt very much
terrified, being the only man in the house.
Sarah Blacklock, nurse in the prisoner's family, gave
similar evidence,

John Fester, Constable of Walton, on the morning of
the 17th, asked the prisoner why he had fired at the
man without speaking. The prisoner said he had suf-
fered much before he fired; he thought they were going
to break into his house, and he was so unmanned that he
fired, and it was an accident.
Cross-examined—The prisoner had been incumbent
15 years. The living was a very small one.
Mr. John Graham, a doctor of medicine, had examined
the deceased on the 17th of April. He found a bullet
in his body. He had been wounded in the right
shoulder and in the breast, and had died from a gunshot
wound.
It was then proved that the prisoner
b
had purchased
some time before a revolving pistol at Carlisle.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. JAMES, in an able defence, . contended that the
