and Crown on the kith September. I saw the dery i,ed
conic in. She remained there about an hour and ten
minutes. I saw the prisoner there. When she loft she
was not drunk. She and two of us had three pots of beer.
lam sure she had nothing else. When she left lam sure
shewas sober.

Ex:un hied by Mr. Sleigh—l knew the deceased. She had
not been in that public-house sha, the 30th of March.
By Barod Braiwell—She did not drink the same quan-
tity of beer as the men. She only took a sup now and
then.

The magistrate's clerk said-L-I accompanied Mr. Paynter
to the hospital on the I took down the words of the
deceased. She said, " I don't know how I got hurt. I
think I of out of the window. Pray don't hurt Min.. Ilia
mother has been here and told ate he is nearly out alas
mind."

The surgpon of the W'sstiniiister Hospital Ah.scribed tio

perfectly conscious that she was dying.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—Whenever the deceased
was left alone for any short time after her admission to the
hospital to the time of her death, she relapsed into a state
of stupor.

By Baron Bramwell—l think the deceased ivas perfectly
conscious when she made the statement I have alluded to.
Mrs. Beath said—The deceased was my daughter. When
I saw her in the hospital she was perfectly sensible, and
she thought she would never recover. On the Sunday
previous to her death she told me the prisoner struck her
on the head twice with the poker.

The police-constable who took the prisoner into custody,
said, when he did so, Harmond said, "It's a serious job,
and I must suffer for it." _

George Winstone—l am a shoemaker. I live in New
Tothill-street. On the day following the occurrence I was in
Rochester-row police cell on suspicion of being a deserter.
The matter was investigated, and I was discharged. While
I was in the cell the prisoner was brought there. In a few
minutes afterwards Harmond asked what I was there for,
and I told him on suspicion of enlisting for a soldier. I
asked him what he was in for, and he said, " Mine is a
much more serious offence, and I expect it'll turn out a bad
job." I asked him what it might be. He replied, "Have
you not heard yet ?" I said, "No, I was locked
up all last night." He said, " What ! not about the
woman that was thrown out of the window." He then
said, " I had been out working for my living ; when
I returned home I found my wife was out. I
went to look after her, and I found her drunk.
I remonstrated with her for being drunk, and then we had
some words together, and she called me a foul name. This
exasperated me, so that I hit her upan the head with a
poker. I locked the door and put the key in my pocket.
The window was up, it being warm weather, and the bed-
stead, which was a French one, reached within three
inches and a half of the window sill. She flew to this win-
dow, and called out Murder I' - and Police I' I was
exasperated at that, and gave her a push. She being a
weighty woman, out she went. (Sensation in court.) I
had no intention of throwing her eut—it was the spirit of
the moment." The police came to the cell and took the pri-
soner out, and he was away about an hour. On his return
he said, " I have been to Westminster Hospital to hear my
wife's deposition taken," and then repeated a great many
of the facts that have been given in evidence.
Mr. Sleigh then subjected this witness to a severe cross-
examination, during which he elicited that eight years ago
he had been in custody on a charge of felony. _ _

Baron Bramwell—When a man has been convicted of a
crime, and for eight years afterwards has conducted him-
self in a proper and respectable manner, I think it quite
sufficient to guarantee him a character for trustworthiness.
If the learned counsel does not intend to go to the jury
upon the point of disbelief of the witness, I think that to
rake up matters which had taken place eight years ago is
a great and needless cruelty. (Cries of " Bravo," which
were instantly repressed by the officers of the court.)
Mr. Sleigh—l consider I have a right to make the in-
quiries I have done. It is not in my instructions to throw
any discredit on the witness's testimony. The learned
gentleman then, in a very able speech, proceeded to address
the jury on behalf of the prisoner, strongly pointing out the
doubtful nature of the prisoner's intention.

The learned Judge having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter."
The learned judge then sentenced him to penal servitude
for life.
