VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST THE
CLERGYMAN, AND SERIOUS RESULT.
The adjourned inquest upon the body of the unfortu-
nate victim in the recent fatal mistake at Walton, near
Brampton, was resumed on Tuesday morning, before
Mr. Carrick, the coroner, and the same jury, at the vil-
lage inn. Tho excitement created by this sad event is
intense; indeed, no event has happened of late years in
the east of Cumberland which has created equal sensa-
tion, the position of the parties more immediately cote-
ceracel in it, and the circumstances under which it oc-
curred. both combining to invest the affair with the
deepest and most startling interest.
As some mis-statements connected with the affair have
appeared, it may be as well briefly to state the particu-
lars, ascertained by the most diligent inquiry and hives-
tigation. The deceased, who was 38 years of age, and
has left a widow and two children, was more generally
known by the name of his paternal estate, " Sur bietrees,"
than by his name of Armstrong, and was the lineal de-
scendant and representative of the " Sorbietrees" spoken
of by Sir Walter Scott in " Guy Mannering."
The adjourned inquest was resumed on Tuesday
morning at ten o'clock. By this time the news of the
melancholy event had epread far and wide, and a great
number of persons thronged the village in the hope of
gaining access to the scene of so much melancholy in-
terest; the room was consequently crowded to an incon-
venient degree—even to the very ceiling. There was
breathless silence whilst the several witnesses gave their
testimony.
After some lengthened evidence,
The CORONER then addressed the jury. He said—
You can have no doubt that the poor man died from a
pistol-shot wound in his side, the ball passing through
the trunk of the body, and you can have no doubt also
that Mr. Smith was the person who fired the shot.
Having then disposed of that question you havo thioim
portent one to consider—under what circumstances did
he fire that shot; whether it was under circumstances
which either justify or excuse the act? If so, then Mr.
Smith is not criminally responsible, and he stands ac-
quitted before you and his country of any legal blame.
But if he was not so justified or excusable in the eye of
the law, then Mr. Smith has been guilty of one of two
crimes, either that of manslaughter or murder. Mr.
Smith's own statement affords the only direct and positive
evidence of this part of the case. There is other evidence
bearing upon it, and it is for you to consider and com-
pare the different statements together, and to say how
far they agree and are consistent with themselves
and with each other. Having heard this evidence read
over, I um sure you will exercise that judgment which
will enable you to reconcile them, or to see how far they
were entitled to your full credence, and which appear
consistent or otherwise. Having ventured to submit
this question, I may go on further to state to you what
I believe to be the law applicable to this particular case.
First, then, I must state that under certain circumstances
a man is justified in killing another, in such as the fol-
lowing circumstances:—lf one attempt to rob or murder
another on the highway or in a house; or to attempt to
break into a dwelling-house by night; or to commit any
other forcible or atrocious crime, and the party making
the attack be killed, then the slayer is justified in
taking his life; but with this qualification, that the con-
duct of the party killed clearly manifested the intention
to commit a felony of a forcible and violent character,
and not a mere trespass, or even a felony unaccompanied
by force. If death was occasioned under these latter
circumstances it would not be justifiable, but man-
slaughter or murder. Therefore, gentlemen, it is for you
to apply this test to the evidence before you; it is for you
to say whether the conduct of the deceased was of such
a character as to bring Mr. Smith's case within this
rule. You have heard the evidence with respect to the
character and circumqancL s of the deceased. That
tends to prove that he was not there with any felonious
intention—every circumstance disproves such an assump-
tion; he might be a trespasser, but not a felon. But
then comes the question whether the conduct of Arm-
strong that night was such as clearly to manifest an
intention on his part to commit some violence by break-
ing into the house, or doing some other forcible or
felonious act. He might not be intending to do it; but
his conduct might have been such as to lead a person
exercising a mind of ordinary capacity and firmness to
misconstrue his intentions, and for a moment believe
that he was really intending to break into the house.
In such a case it would be a stretching of the law to
make a man criminally responsible for that which the
circumstances, as they appeared at the moment, justi-
fied; although it afterwards turned out that his inten-
tions had been misconstrued. It is not, therefore, gen-
tlemen, whether the man was really intending to com-
mit a felony, but whether the conduct of the deceased,
so far as the evidence shows, was of such a nature
as to manifestly lead a man of ordinary mind to put
such a construction upon it. Now, gentlemen, was
the conduct of Armstrong of such a character? The
auestion, therefore, which I would put would be in
this form—Was the conduct of the deceased, so far
as the evidence shows, such as to excite in
the mind of a reasonable man, exercising ordinary
judgment and thought, a well-founded suspicion that de-
ceased was attempting to commit a forcible and inten-
tional felony ? and, believing so, did he exercise that
precaution which a prudent man would do before he re-
sorted to the desperate step of firing at him? If Mr.
Smith were convinced, if he hail a right to be convinced,
and he did take precautions under that apprehension,
then he was justified or excusable in what he did. Some
allowance might be made for a man whose fears are
suddenly aroused at a late hour of night, alone, as it
were, in a house far from any other, where the alarm
would appear far beyond the reality. Yet, gentlemen, I
cannot subscribe to the doctrine—a very dangerous
doctrine, indeed—that a man should seek to be excused,
much less justified, for the taking of another's life, not
because there were any real or well-founded reasons for
believing an attack was to be made upon him, but merely
acting as he would do, and as appears by Mr. Smith's
own statement he did, under a nervously timid state of
mind, lost all self-possession, baying become void of
all ordinary prudence, judgment, and discretion (I
think his words were). Mr. Smith's statement is
silent as to whether he saw deceased or not. He, how-
ever, leaves it to be inferred that he did not see him.
Mr. Smith also says that he fired at random. It is for
you to say whether you are satisfied or otherwise, that
Mr. Smith saw the man. If he did, in your opinion,
see the man at the time he fired, the remarks I have
just made perfectly apply to that part of the case; but if
you think Mr. Smith fired at random without seeing the
man at the time, then this question will arise—fled Mr.
Smith, when he fired, reasonable ground for supposing
teat some one or more persons were in the immediate
vicinity, and within the range of the pistol discharged?
If he had reason to believe so, and fired in that direction,
and death ensued, he would (subject to the remarlts I
have already made) be criminally responsible for the
Consequences. Therefore, whether he fired seeing the
party, or he fired having reason to believe—and it cer-
tainly is in his evidence that he had heard a person at
the window immediately before that—and that party bad
withdrawn but only from the immediate vicinity; if;
therefore, he did believe that same person was in the
immediate neighbourhood, and he fired in such a direr,
Hon as was likely or probable to strike the party, he does
not appear to me to be less culpable than if he had fired

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
TIMES.—It has been rumoured for seine time that
there existed an intention of cutting a public ride in
Kensington-gardens. We have refrained from noticing
the scheme because we did not wish to call down need-
less unpopularity on the heads of its originators. It
seems, however, that the thing is to be, unless some
stern and urgent protest be made against the desecration
of the only spot in London which gives promise of quiet
and seclusion. What occasion is there for such an act
of wanton aggression? The gardens, as they stand, are
for the convenience of persons who cannot mount on
horseback, and seek green fields and quiet at a distance
from the bustle of the town. The proposed change is for
the benefit of equestrians alone—of persons who within
15 or 20 minutes from mounting might shake off tho
town, and find quiet cantering-ground on any side of
London they please. The monopoly of Hyde-park for
one year at least should be a sufficient concession to tho
managers of the Great Exhibition. But, it is answered,
there is a third interest concerned. What is to become
of the equestrians who, daring the course of the
London season, were in the habit of taking their exer-
cise and meeting their friends in Rotten-row? Now,we
are fully prepared to admit that, even if their accustomed
ride had not already been marked out for the exclusive
use of carriages, &c., it is impossible to make, use cf
Rotten-row as a public ride while the Exhibition lasts.
We acknowledge also, to its fullest extent, the propriety
of providing a suitable riding-ground for the use of those
persons who had been in the habit of taking their pro-
pransile canter in Rotten-row. There is no reason that
middle-aged gentlemen with a tendency to run to fat
should be exposed to a lengthened series of dyspeptic
phenomena because of the Great Exhibition. Even
setting their piteous case aside, we are of those
who think that London has few sights which can
be compared in beauty with the public ride in
Hyde-park towards the close of a summer's day
when the season is at its height. There is no conti-
nental capital which can present a spectacle half so gra-
tifying to the eye or the pride of an Englishman. The
Champs Elysbes or the Bois de Boulogne at Paris, the
Cascine of Florence, yield but pale imitations of the
public ride in Hyde-park when the throng of riders
is at its fullest. Were not the feelings of a
section of the public who have a right to
consideration concerned in this matter, we should
wish to see the mere show preserved as the
last expression of the wealth and beauty of the Bri-
tish empire. Having said thus much it will be clear that
we do not approach the subject in any spirit of vulgar
fanaticism. We would wish to see the rights and
pleasures of all parties preserved intact' Let the
Great Exhibition be provided with a fitting car-
riage approach, and let the riders in the Park
be also accommodated with a suitable can-
tering-ground. Bat both these results may be ob-
tained without desecrating the single spot in London
round which the charm of seclusion still lingers, and
without inflicting great and unnecessary annoyance on a
neighbourhood which has already suffered so severely
from the proximity of the Exhibition. The question
remains in this form :—Where are the riders to go who
have been temporarily dispossessed of Rotten-row?
Where is a public ride to he laid out for their use? The
answer is perfectly clear. Let such a ride be made within,
not without, the limits of Hyde-park itself. Whatever
objections apply to cutting-tap the turf in Hyde-park,
apply with at least equal foree to any section of Kens-
ington-gardens which might be chosen for the purpose.
But there is a propriety in the one instance which there
i 5 not in the other. Hyde-park is already given up to
the use of carriages and equestrians. The privacy of
Kensington-gardens has never, that we recollect, been
profanedb by a horse's hoof time out of mind,
once, and that once the act caused so
much dissatisfaction that the attempt was never
renewed. It is
oflitterally the only spot within
the precinctsthis vast Babel of brick and
mortar where seclusion and quiet can be obtained. The

moment, the first proposition would seem to offer most
convenience to the riders. They would not sensibly be
disturbed from their old ground. They would enter the
park by the old gate, simply bearing away a little to the
risk, in place of entering Rorten.row to the left. It is

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 24.
LAWRENCE V. AN ORDER OF MR. TYRWHITT.
This was an appeal against an order in bastardy. The
case was heard on the " bail day" of the last session, but
the Court reserved its judgment in order to consider
whether the fact of the appellant having in an action
brought against him by the father of the mother of the
child for seduction consented to a verdict being given
against him, could legally be received as evidence cor-
roborative of the mother's assertion that he was the
father of the child. The facts were reported at the time.
The Learned JUDGE, in now pronouncing the judg-
ment of the Court, said that he had not been able, when
the case had formerly been before the Court, to see ex-
actly how a verdict pronounced in an action which had
been brought against the appellant by a third party
could be received as evidence of proof that he was
the father of the child in respect of whom the order
appealed against had been made, and the view
which be had upon that occasion entertained he
had subsequently found was exactly that held by Mr.
Baron Parke, with whom he had had a consultation
upon the matter. The order, therefore, would be
quashed, and with reference to the case itself, he must
say that he never knew one of the kind in which there
could be less sympathy for the mother of the child, who
had told an incredible story about the appellant having
intruded into her bedroom, which adjoined that in which
his own wife was sleeping, and without having previously
made any advances, or been guilty of any impropriety
towards her, insisted upon getting
into bed to her, and
that she suffered him to have intercourse with her with-
out making any noise or resistance, because she was
afraid of disturbing the wife. Her father brought an
action for seduction against him and got 1501. damages
by consent, and within a few days afterwards a bastardy
order was applied for. The order would be quashed and
the appeal granted.
Mr. BALLANTINE then made an application for costs.
The Learned JUDGE awarded 10/. by way of costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.

ARREST OF THE NOTORIOUS KING OF
THE " JIGGERMEN."

A man, who gave his name George Martin, but who
is well known to the police by the aliases of Rain and
Smith, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton,
charged with having, as a convict, made his escape be-
fore the expiration of his sentence of transportation.
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous
night Smith, an officer of the detective police, went to
the Swan public-house, in Great Portland-street, and
there saw the prisoner, whom he and another officer
took into custody and conveyed to the station-house in
St. Giles's. When there the nature of the charge was
explained to him, and he then denied that he was the
man " wanted." It further appeared that the prisoner
was tried at the Central Criminal Court on the 9± of
April, 1849, and that he was convicted and sentenced to
ten years' transportation for housebreaking. He was
removed to Woolwich, where he was placed on board
the Warrior hulk. and, according to the statement of
Mr. Masterman, the superintendent thereof, he (pri-
soner) and two more convicts made their escape in a
small bout. Prisoner was at that time ironed, and it had
been ascertained that he left Woolwich by the Eastern
Counties Railway. Another of the party has since been
taken, but the third was still at large.
The prisoner, who did not attempt to deny that he
had made his escape from ,the Warrior, was remanded,
in order that the officers might communicate at the
Home-office as to whether he (prisoner) should be Tent
hack to the Warrior hulk or be committed for trial for
the offence. _ _

The notorious Charles Barnett, of No. 9, Robin
Hood-court, Shoe-lane, the " King of the Jigger-
men," has at length fallen into the hands of the
officers of justice. His career has been a most re-
markable one, as having been for years past en-
gaged in illicit distillation, and connected with
nearly all the private distilleries in and around
London, together with his hair-breadth 'stapes from
detection, have earned for him amongst his com-
panions the title of "King of the Jiggermen." A
man was arrested by the supervisor of Buckingham at
the latter end of last year carrying illicit spirits, and
from some papers found in his possession a clue was
obtained that the same had been supplied by Barnett,
and consequently Mr. Scott, the superintendent of
theo detective officers, was sent by the Commissioners
