THE KING V. JONES.

Mr. GODSON moved for a certiorari, directed to the
coroner for the county of Flint, to remove the depositions
in this case into this Court, in order that the defendant,
who had been committed by him for manslaughter, might
be admitted to bail. His affidavit stated that while
with his wife and family walking in the town of Denbigh,
he met the deceased John Williams, who was intoxicated ;
that Williams without any previous altercation, violently
as.aulted him several times, and used the most insulting
language, saying, " Will Jones, you are the ma❑ who
transported Owen Herbert, and I will be revenged
on you." The defendant denied that he had done so,
hut that the law had done it. The deceased continued
his insulting language, and at length the prisoner, being
exasperated, struck him a blow which knocked him down,
and he instantly expired. The prisoner swore that he
gave that blow under the impulse of momentary passion,

the
hat he had no previous ill will or malice toward"
deceased, and that he sincerely regretted the occurreno,
He also stated, that the only object he had in being

mitted to bail, was that he might be enabled to "Prior
