CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(7his Day).

OLD COURT.
MANSLAUGHTER.

An Italian named Parrieto was indicted for the man-
slaughter of a militiaman named Lynch.
The original indictment against the prisoner was for mur-
der, but that the grand jury ignored ; and, therefore, the
prisoner was tried for the minor offence.
From the evidence ii appeared that the deceased was in
the Magpie public-house at Richmond, where the prisoner
(Et street organist) and his wife were present. Some joking
began, and the militiaman asked the prisoner's wife to
go to the- bar .fora pint of beer. This the prisoner
thought an hank and he was greatly enraged at
it. Lynch, the deceased, and the other men still kept
" chaffing" the foreigner until he became so excited that he
stabbed Lynch with a knife in such a manner as to cause
death very shortly after.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YnTERDAy.)
THE CHARGES AGAINST CHIEF JUSTICE
MONAHAN.

Lord CHELMSFORD, referring to what had already
taken place in reference to this matter, said the Earl of
Leitrim had done him the honour to consult him in regard
to it, and he told him that no charge but one of the gravest
kind could be brought forward against one of the judges of
the land. He had since considered the subject, and under
all the circumstances of the case, the conclusion he came to
was that it was not desirable to have the question further
discussed. He would therefore request his noble friend to
withdraw his notice, as to proceed with it could not be at-
tended with any beneficial results.

The Earl of LEITRIM considered he had done no more
than his duty in stating what be had done with reference to
Chief Justice Monahan, but would willingly comply with the
request of hie noble and learned friend, and withdraw the
motion.
