YOR'KSIIIRE Sr:U.IIER .:ISSIZLS,

Francis Barcelmo stood 'charged with bai'ing mur-
dered George Pluirzncr, the Keeper t)f the House: of
Corre6tion, at Beverley, by striking him on the brad
with milk-pot, of which wound he languished for
sevoral days, and then died.

The Coc.UFel for the Prosecution opened the case
by stating, ,tlyat the Prisoner (a native of Italy) was,
in the month of June last, committed as a vagrant
to the House of Corredion at Beverley, and that
during his confinement he. manifested proofs of ex-
treme impatience. The •counsel then proceeded to
state the filets developed in the following evidence :
William Hatter, the first witness, said, that the
Priviner was committed in June to the Ilouse of
Correaion, and that, on the 24th of the same month,
Mr: Plummer visited him in his cell—that the Pri-
soner, during his visit, behaved in a most outrageous
manner, holding a tub towards the deceased, in a
threatening manner, but did • not actually assault
him, ,The witness proceeded to state, that about
two o'clock the same clay, the deceased again vi-
sited the Prisoner, wham soon as be, saw Mr. Plum-
mer enter the cell, threw at him, with great vio-
lence, a milk-pot, which struck him on the head, and
knocked him on the ground: the Prisoner then
seined a pair of iron tongs, and ran towards Mr.
Plummer, with an intention, as the m ituess sup-
posed, of striking him as he lay on the ground, but
was secured by the witness before he could cifea
his purpose. Ile further added, that, pre% ions to
this assult, Mr. Plummer was in a good stale of
health.

Thomas Cooper was then called, and deposed,
that he was Beadle for the town of Beverley, and
was sent for to the' House of CorreOion oii the 24th ,
of June, and, on his arrival, found Mr. P. bleeding
from a wound in the head, and that Mr. Pluminer
desired him to put the Prisoner in irons, which he
accordingly did.
Mr. Henry Gills Surgeon, was next examined?
and stated, that on the 2.4 th of June last he was
called.in to attend Mr. Plummer, whom he found
bleeding very considerably, in consequence of a se-
Vero out:in. the head; but that,. upon examining the
wound, it did not appear in the least dangerous; on
the.centrary, it continued to exhibit every favourable
appearance, until the third day,
.when s-imptonis of
a paralysis began to Manifest themselves ; and the
disorder. continuing to increase, terminated in his
death, on Sunday, the 7th July. - •
The .Judge here inquired of theWitness,.if he sup-
posed the ceath of the deceased was occasioned by
the NM* in the bead ? to which he replied& that it
was not; but that the paralysis was produced by a
concussion in the brain, oecasioned by the lab. His
Lor&hip here , interfered, and said, that it was evi-
dent the indiament could not. be substantiated, as.
Mr. Plummor's 'death Was, 'in the indliament, de
clared to, be occasioned by a aortal Wound infii6ted
bV'the Prisdner with an earthen pot, w•hich averment •
was completely. removed by the evidence ,of the
Surgeon 3 • indeed, if the death of .the deceased
Should have been preyed to be occasioned by, the
wound, it would not have amounted' to more than
manslaughter ; and the heaviest
.punislunent the
Law in this case infliets is a year'.s• imprisonment:
But should the Prisoner be acquitted, as he must be
of course, his violent mud outrageous behaviour ren-
dered ft unsafe for Mini to be, at large ; he Should,
therefore, order him to be detained tMtil he could
• find sureties for his. future 'peaceable behaviour ; and
in the present instance there would be no failure 'of •
'substantial justice. ' HiS Loldship concluded with
direeting the Jury to acquit the Prisoner 3 which was
accordingly done. •• .
