THIRD EDITION

have two brothers. One is on board ship and the other is
in some other employment. When I was in Ireland
I stopped with my aunt. I went to school in Ireland. I
can both read and write. I never went to dancing houses
in Ireland. The only time I ever went dancing was at the
children's school parties. The female prisoner only as-
sisted my father once. I have told my father that his wife
had gone down stairs in her night dress to meet a man. I
did not tell him this till my father told me his wife had
left him. I, after he had told me this, informed him about
her going down stairs. There was a quarrel between the
man and my father. I gave evidence before the magis-
trate. The charge was discharged, because the magistrate
said I had perjured myself. My father told me to do so.
He told me to say I was in the garden, when I was not, and
heard all that passed. I never said a word about
it at the Lambeth police-court. My step-mother
left my father because of his ill usage. My father
has charged me with burning a Protestant bible,
but I did not. He threatened to beat me if I did not
find the Bible. That was a day or two before I left to go to
my aunt's. My father used to threaten me with a sword.
I never recollect the prisoner asking my stepmother and
myself to help him to get it out of the sheath. It was an
old one. Before I left home one of the chidren I had under
my care by some means burned itself. It was an accident.
I did not tell my father about it until three or four days
after. On the last occasion I went into my father's bed
' raff aunt was sleeping in the same room. She heard him
call me to come into his bed. She said I might go, or he
would get in a passion. When my aunt and myself left
my father's house we left one of the ohildren in
the bed. It was two years old. The child was left
about 9in the morning. My father usually returned homo
about half-past 6. I never said anything about the child
being left in the house to any person. It must have re-
mained from the time I left until I came home without the
slightest attention. I know Mr. Cotter. He is a Roman
Catholic priest. He recommended me to go to a certain
house in London. On one occasion my father threatened
to kill me if I did not come home. Ho was then given into
custody. After my aunt came to Plumstead we went to a
Roman Catholic Chapel. I used to do so on Sundays
before that.

Mr. Ribton having addressed the jury in behalf of the
prisoner,

The learned Judge summed up.

The jury retired,-and, after half-an-hour's deliberation,
returned a verdict of " not guilty."

There was another indictment against the male prisoner
for rape on a girl named Ellen Saltmarsh, aged 14, but it
was postponed till next session.
The prisoner was admitted to bail.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE FATAL FIGHT AT ABBEY-WOOD.

Samuel Asqueth, aged 16, was indicted for feloniously
killing and slaying George Donald M'Donald.
Mr. Sharp appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton
defended the prisoner.

The evidence adduced against the prisoner was precisely
similar to that given when the prisoner was examined before
the magistrate.

The house surgeon of Guy's Hospital, in his examination,
said, he was clearly of opinion that death was caused by
injuries received during the fatal affray.
In answer to several questions put to him in cross-exami-
nation by Mr. Ribton, who defended the prisoner, he said
he would not swear that dislocation of the vertebra) might
not be caused by the rough manner in which the deceased
had been removed from the fatal spot, but it was highly
improbable. _ . _

By the Recorder—The moment the spinal cord was in-
jured the party would become paralysed. He would be
unable to get up when he once fell to the ground.
The case for the prosecution having closed,

Mr. Ribton contended that there was no case made out
against the prisoner. Nothing had been brought forward
to show that the injuries of which the unfortunate man died
might not have been occasioned during the time that was
consumed in conveying him from Abbey Wood to the
hospita4
The Recorder thought there was abundant evidence to
go to the jury.

Mr. Ribton then addressed the jury for the prisoner.
The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to
three months' imprisonment.
