(Beeore the Recorder.)
MANSLAUGHTER.
Robert Brown, a coachman, was indicted for feloniously
killing and slaying it man named Longhorn, in Davis's
Mews, Grosvenor-square, on the 19th of October last.
Mr. Ribton and Mr, Best appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. Hopewood defended the prisoner.
Mr. Ribton having stated the case to the jury, called
several witnesses to prove the case, the most important of
which were the following :
George Miller said—l know the deceased Robert Long-
horn. At five minutee'to ten on the evening of the occur-
rence, I was engaged putting the horse to my carriage
when I saw the deceased come out and shake his fist at the
prisoner. Brown (the prisoner) said, " Oh, that's your
game, is it !" and I saw him turn round and walk towards
his coachhouse. I thqn: proceeded with putttng the horses
to my carriage, and shortly after turned round and saw the
deceased leaning against a brougham, with one hand to his
head, and the prisoner said he had hit him with the setter
(a long iron instrument used for raising the wheels of car-
riages). I said, "It was no manly act, but if you had given
him a jolly good hiding with your fists I should have
thought nothing of it." I took the deceased to the hospital.
Cross-examined—The prisoner I look upon as a violent
man. He had threatened but never struck me. The
deceased was greatly reSpecfed in the Mews.
Mr. Wm. Bloxhamourgeon, Mount .street, Grosvenor-
square, said—On the lath of Oct. the deceased came to me.
He had his hand to his tead, and his face was covered with
blood, lie appeared to 'stagger very much, and I asked
kim if he had been drinking. He said, no ; and I then exa-
mined the wound, and found it was a contused wound about
two inches in length, extending from the forehead to the
ear. The scalp had not teen penetrated. There was no
depression of the bone. I dressed the wound in the ordi-
nary manner, and directed the deceased to call on me the
next day. He did not do so. I gave him some medicine
with directions when it 'was to be taken. He called upon
me on the Thursday. He was very much worse thanwhen
I first saw him. I asked him if he had taken the medicine
as I directed, and he said,." Oh, I've had enough of that."
I recommended the unfortunate man to go intothe hospital.
I never saw him after that.
Cross-examined by Mr. flopwood--I was induced to ask
the deceased if he had been drinking, from the fact that he
smelt of beer. I asked if he had been taking beer on the
Thursday, and he told me he had had half a pint that morn-
ing. If a person persisted in'drinking after receiving any
serious injury it would, no, doubt, greatly aggravate the
consequences. It was highly dangerous for any person
addicted to drinking to receive a blow on the head, as re-
sults of the most fatal consequences might ensue. I should
most certainly call the wound a serious one.
Mr. Ribton—Would not a blow similar to the one Lang-
ham received produce what you have termed strangeness
of manner ?
Witness—Certainly. '
Mr. Tomlinson, one of the surgeons at St. George's Hos-
pital, said—The deceased was brought to the hospital on the
Monday after he had received the blow. He died very
shortly after his admission. 'A post-mortem examination
took place. I found a wound on the forehead, which had
produced a fracture of the frontal bone, and, on further ex-
amination, I discovered another smaller fracture on the
same bone. The deceased died from inflammation of the
brain, produced by the injury on the head.
' Cross-examined—A blow on the head would affect the
whole of the brain. I heard that the deceased had received
a kick from a horse a fortnight before. I would not give a
decided opinion that such a kick might produce the injuries
I have described. .
George Silverton 293 A, said-;-I took the prisoner into
Custody on the evening of the 25th of Oct., the evening the
unfortunate man died. I told him what I took him into
custody for, and he said " It's a:bad job. I didn't think it
would turn out so bad." I wont to the coach-house of the
prisoner, and there I-found the setter. I showed it to him
and he said, " Yes, there's no • mistake that was what I
struck him with."

Mr. Hopwood the* addressed the jury on behalf of the
priSoner. He contended that the tvidence was insufficient
to substantiate' the chtitge,witli'Vhiclethe prisoner -stood
indicted. The. deceased was, he thought, a man of quick
temper and.mUch.more powerful than the prisoner, and in
the course of a quarrel, after receiving great provocation,
he, smarting under the effect of the conduct of the deceased,
used the first thing that came to his hand and struck him.

He felt the jury. would see that the quarrel arose out of a
drunken brawl. The deceased dame up to the prisoner,
irho was washing the carriage with the fatal weapon in his
hand, and being aggravated, he struck the fatal blow, but
under circumstances that perfectly justified him in so doing.
After they had heard the, evidence he should place before
them, he had no doubt the jury would entirely acquit the
prisoner. The learned gentleman then examined the fol-
lowing witnesses.

Henry Leader—l reside at 38, Bilver-street, Grosvenor-
square. I saw Langharn the morning of the occurrence. I
was at the top of the Mews. I salt Brown, Langham, and
his master together outside the coach-house. I heard the
deceased say to the prisoner " You're a liar, and if you say
that again I'll take your -- life." After I heard that
I went home to breakfast. When I returned to
the mews at 11 o'clock. I heard of the occur-
rence. I afterwards saw Langham cleaning his car-
riage. A man called Tom was with him. Later
in the day Brown called me. In Vie course of that con-
versation I'went near Langham and asked him what was
up. He said he had struck Brown's head against the wall,
and he had struck him with the iron setter. I went with
Laugh= to Bloxhata's. He told him to go home or fatal
consequences might ensue. I don't know whether he drank
much after the fight The decbased was taller than the
prisoner, but I don't know whether he was stronger or not

Cross-examined by Mr. Ribt.on—l attended at the in-
quest, but I was not called.
Mary Do'wfit-1 reside• in Davis's-mews, I saw the
quarrel. I heard the prisoner and deceased using high
words. I heard some one say, "You're a pretty fellow to
tell your master. I damaged his carriage." I then saw
Langham and Brown begin quarrelling again. I saw the
deceased , take hold of Brown and shake him. They
continued quarrelling, and then the deceased struck Brown's
head against•the stable door, and prisoner said, " I'm not
going to stand that." I then saw Brown strike Laughlin'
with the iron bar. I saw the blood flow. Miller was not
near the spot with the carriage when the blow was struck.
Mr. G. Ritchie said Brown complained to me that Lang-
ham had injured Mr. Wilson's carriage. Laughlin' was in
my employment. I told Laugh:in' he ought to be more
careful, and that Bob (the prisoner) :should pay for it.
Brown showed me two other carriages in the stables in-
jured in the same manner. It was Langham's duty to put
the carriages in the stable. Brown had complained of Lang-
ham's conduct as .being very violent. Langham professed
to be a fighting-man. I have-heard him challenge Brown.
I have seen. the prisoner in. the mews for some time. I
believed him to be a sober steady man.
Several other witnesses give similar evidence, and
The Learned Recorder summed up the evidence.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner
was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard
labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THIEVES AND THEIR "BAG."—Thomas Baker and John
Martin, the latter of whom refused his address, were
charged with attempting to steal a piece of merino at 6,
Cranbourn-street, the property of Mr. Thos. 13radley.
On one of the prisoners was found a large black bag, and
the use made of it was rather curious.

Bell, 85 C, said he saw the two prisoners go up to a linen-
draper's shop near Newport-market, and handle some goods
in a very suspicious manner; and, suspecting that their ob-
ject was to commit a robbery, he followed them to Oran-
bourn-street, where he saw them go up to the door of Mr.
Bradley, and handle some pieces of merino. He then seized
them, and en one, f them there was a large black bag.
Mr. Bingham—One, I suppose, used by professionals.
Bell said he then took them back to, the shop, when it
was found that .the string which had secured the pile of
merinos was cut. The prisoner, as soon as ho took him,
very adroitly let the black bag fall down in front of him,
and then tied a piece of string round his waist, so as to
make it appear that it was au apron.
Benjamin HOpgood said the string was secure a few
minutes previous to his attention being called to the affair.
Joy, a detective, said he knew both prisoners as asso-
ciates of thieves.

Mr. Bingham asked , the prisoners if they could account
for the bag.

Baker said it was for no particular purpose.
Mr. Bingham said he would rid that neighbourhood of
the prisoners and their bag, at all events, for three months.
FURIOUS DRlVlNG.—Ephraim Jackson, a carman, re-
siding at Hamznersmith, was charged with furiously driving
a horse and cart, and damaging cab 2,456 in Piccadilly.
Thomas Barden, badge 2,961, said that he was going
along PicOadilly with a gentleman in his cab when the
prisoner came along with a horse and large heavy cart,
driving at the rate of 10 miles an hour, he lying at the time
at the bottom of the carton his back, when he c me in col

vision with his hind wheels and broke both springs, doing
Jamage to the extent of £2 13s. The horse the prisoner
was driving was a fine high-spirited one. He believed the
prisoner was drunk at the time.

Prisoner said he had been out with a load all day and was
very tired, but that he had not been drinking. Ho was
driving quite steadily, • and it was entirely the cabman's
fault.

85 said the prisoner was drunk when he came up.
Inspector Webb said the gentleman who was in the cabat
the time came to the station-house and signed the sheet as
a witness.

The cabman said his name was Kaye.
In answer to Mr. Bingham, the constable said the corn:
plainant was quito sober.

Mr. Bingham said it was more probable that a person who
was drunk would come in collision with another than 'a
sober one. He must pay the damage, which was pretty
heavy, £2 135., and also Is. fine., and if he did not he would
go to prison for six weeks.

THAMES.
SAVAGE ASSAULT.—WIFE BEATING.—Charles Wright,
cooper, of No. 5, Bird-in-the-Bush-terrace, Limehouse,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting
Esther his wife.

The complainant said she had been married to the defend-
ant 22 years. He had frequently beaten her, and was an
incorrigible drunkard She led a most unhappy life with
him. Last night he came home intoxicated, created a dis-
turbance, and called her most filthy names. He went out
again, made another disturbance when he returned at 12
o'clock, and then struck her repeatedly upon the head and
body. She received three violent blows en the breast.
➢ir. Yardley—On the breast ?

The Wife—Yes, sir, lam in very great pain. He has
frequently beaten me and kicked me. My body is now
marked in various places. My life is a burden to me.
Charles Mills, a police-constable, said he !heard the
screems of the woman, and went to her assistance. The
prisoner, in his presence, struck his wife under her ear,
and knocked her down.

The prisoner, a dissipated looking fellow, said he was
drunk—ha was very sorry. He here trembled excessively,
and hung on by hls hands to the top of the dock.
Mr. Yardley—You are a great brute. This is the effect
of drunkenness. I am compelled to repeat, almost daily,
there would be very little business for magistrates if it was
not for that most terrible vice—drunkenness. You are sen-
tenced to two months' imprisonment, and hard labour.

Coastwise, a full average supply of English wheat-
-2,830 quarters—has been received up to our market this
week. Fresh up, to-day, by land-carriage, the receipts
were limited, and the show of samples was small. The
trade, however, was very quiet, at Monday's currency.
The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 5,850
quarters, and the supply on offer was large. All descrip-
tions met a dull inquiry, but we have no change to notice
in prices. Floating cargoes met a slow sale.
The show of both English and foreign barley was only
moderate, and the trade may be called steady, at full quota-
tions.
Malt realised full prices ; but the demand for it was by
no means active.

We were well supplied with oats, in which a fair average
business was transacted at Monday's currency.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.
