POLICE' IMELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

BOW-STREET.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTEIL-Willi3,M Fraser, a tall,
powerful young man, known under the suubrequet of
" The Doctor," was placed at the bar, charged with felo-
niously killing and slaying one John William Horne.
From the evidence it appeared that the two men had
been drinking for a considerable time at a public-house in
St. Martin's lane, and a quarrel ensued. The prisoner and
defendant eventually began fighting, when they were put
out of the house, after which they again commenced
fighting. The prisoner eventually struck the de-
ceased a blow on the side of the bead,
and he then fell to the ground and became insensible. He
was taken home to his residence, and after lingering a few
days he died. The police had for some time been unable
to apprehend the prisoner, as he had absented himself
from the public-house where, up to the night of the occur
ronce, he had been a constant visitor.
A surgeon, who had made a post-mortem examination,
said death had resulted from compression on the brain,
caused by an extensive fracture of the skull. There were
a large number of bruises all over the decoasad's body
which could not have been occasioned by the fall, but the
injury on the head was decidedly the cause of death. He
could not say whether the injury was produced by a blow
or a fall. _ _

Sir T. Henry said he must have some further inquiry
made about the matter, but he should of course send the
case before a jury. _

Application was made to admit the prisoner to bail.
tiir T. Henry said he could not accede to such a request
as the prisoner had kept out of the way, and the police had
had great difficulty in apprehending him.
