CHARGE

,AUGHTER.

At the SalfGrd Town Hall, on Friday, Wm. Carr
was charged with the manuslaughter of John Melia.
Edward Pickering, fishmonger, of Salford, stated
that at 11 o'clock on Sunday night, the 2d instant,
he and the deceased, and a than named Arden,
were in Greengate, on their way towards Victoria-
bridge. When they got to thq, drinking fountain
there, the deceased stopped to drink, and witness
and Arden walked on. After proceeding about 20
yards, they met the prisoner and four other young
men who passed them. On turning round to look
for Melia, Pickering saw the prisoner either push
or strike him, and the deceased fell to the ground,
and while he was down the prisoner kicked him.
Witness ran back, and said to the prisoner, "Don't
kill the man, for he is half dead already, he is very
asthmatical." The prisoner made no reply, but im-
mediately , struck him (Pickering) on his face,
knocked him down, kicked him on the shoulder,
and then walked away. Pickering followed him
for a few yards, when he turned round and said,
"If thee don't go away, I'll give thee as much
again." •
John Arden, overlooker of doublers, living in
Salford, said that he attempted to lift the deceased
up after the prisoner had left him, but could not
do so. Witness asked him to stand, but receiving
no reply he went for assistance. When he returned
five minutes afterwards he found the deceased on
his feet, and two men with him. The deceased said
he did not feel much hurt, but shaken and stunned.
Witness went with him as far as Victoria-bridge,
when the deceased said he thought he was then
able to go home.
Mr. Frederick Ilderton, surgeon, 28, St. John-
street, Manchester, stated, that by order of the
Coroner for the city of Manchester, on Wednesday,
the sth inst., he made a careful post mortem exami-
nation of the body of John Melia, 12, Spinning-
field, Manchester. He found that death had taken
place from long standing disease and rupture of
vomiem in the right lung, causing death by suffoca-
tion. The rupture might have been caused by a
blow or fall, or any violent shock to the system.
Police-constable Sugden said that when he ap-
prehended prisoner, told and him the charge against
him, he said, " I have been very uneasy in my mind
ever since. I have frequently looked to see if any-
thing was said about it in the papers. If I had
seen anything I should have, given myself up; but
as I didn't, I thought there would be nothing more
said about it." The prisoner added, that the de-
ceased used very abusive language, and he gave him
a push. He denied having kicked him.
The prisoner was remanded.
On applying to be admitted to bail, Mr. Trafford
said that he should consider further the effect of
the surgeon's evidence, but very probably the pri-
soner would be discharged.
