CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)
GLD COURT.

TRIAL CF NATHANIEL BUSHELL, FOR XANSLAUGHTER.

(Contt.nued from our Afternoon Edition.)
William Hamming, a labourer, who remembered the
Sund ly morning when the deceased was taken into cus-
tody, gava similar evidence.
Arm Hass, the wife of a baker, residing in Marylebone-
court, knew the deceased, and saw him in the custody of
the pt)iice on the occasion in question. Saw the prisoner
have irold of the deceased by the neckerchief, and striking
him with his stsff. The prisoner knocked the deceased
down before his sister and wife came up.
William Ross, the husband of the preceding witness,
corroborated her testimony. _ _ _

Maurice Geary, the brother of the deccate3, gave a
similar version of the transaction. Witness seeing the
prisoner ill treating and striking his brother with his
truncheon, said that if he did not desist he would report
him on Monlay. The prisoner thereupon shouted to
one ot' the police-c metables to " take that b— ante
cushaiy," meaning witness. Witness was then taken
into custody and dragged to the station by the necher-
chiet'. Witness was taken before the magistrates on the
Monday and fined 10e. for exciting the mob to rescue.
Cross-examined—Witness and deceased were together
at the Coach and Horses public house for about an hour
after leaving the police-court.
Mr. Thomas Austin O'Fle.harty was next called mad
examined by Mr. PARRY—I reside in Baker-street,
Portman-square, and am a surgeon and doctor of medi-
cine. I remember James Geary coming to me with his
wife about eleven o'clock in the forenoon of Sueday after
this occurrence. When he came to me he had his right
arm in a sling. I then examined him and found his
right arm bruised from the wrist to the shoulder. He
was also bruised on the right side of the neck, from the
tip of the shoulder to the jaw. He was also bruised on the
right side of the face, and had a black eye ; and there
was a quantity of coagulated blood in the hollow of his
right ear. The ear was not particularly bruised. The
bruises I saw on the lower jaw and shoulder might pro-
duce such a flow of blood as I saw from the ear. He
complained of having been beaten is other parts of his
body, but from the general questions I put to him I
did not think it necessary to examine those parts. The
bruises were cf a nature rather severe. The blows on
the side of the neck did not appear to me
so numerous as those on his arm. I gave a certificate to
the magistrates in this case, at the request of his wife.
Thera was a blow under the right ear. It was danger-
cus in this respect, in that it was in a dangerous locality,
not perhaps on account of the force of the blow.
The injuries I saw on him were such as to inca-
pacitate him from following his work for some days.
I gave him an opium lotion, and told him to go
home and keep quiet, and to send me word
if he got no better. I have heard the evidence
given here to-day. I did not see him again until the
20th September. No other parts of his body were
bruised on the first interview. I went to him on the 20th
September, at his own house, and found him lying in
bed. He complained of a severe pain on the bladebone
of the left shoulder-blade, and that that pain was in-
creased by breathing. He was fhverish, complained of
violent headache, and of the general symptoms of fever.
He complained of pain on coughing. I attended him
from that time until his death. I examined his chest,
and found by that examination some inflammation of the
pleura, the membrane in which the lungs are contained.
I ordered remedies then. There was a spitting of blood
on the 21st. I examined his chest by means of my ear
and:the stethescope. On the following day he complained
of pain on the right side. On that day I bled him.
Having relievedthe symptoms of the left side by bleeding,
I bled him on the right side, which partially re-
lieved him there. I continued to see him from day
to day. I bled him on both occasions with the lancet,
and t 9,150 applied some leeches to his right side. He died
on the morning of the 26th of September. Forty hours
after his death I mule a post mrtenz examination of his
body in the presence of my uncle, who is an apothecary,
and another person, not a medical man. They attended
merely as spectators. I found the body exces-
sively decomposed, so much so as to prevent
me observing any external:: bruises. I directed my
examination, according to the nature of the injuries. I
opened the chest. and found symptoms cf inflammation
cf the pleura ; the cavity of the chest was filled with
water (a symptom of inflammation), and there were
bands of white on the lungs, also the symptoms of inflam-
mation. The right lung was also inflamed in the
pleures, but not to the same extent. I have been pre-
viously speaking cf the left lung. That examination
satisfied me as to the cause of death. I examined the ribs,
bet note were broken. The immediate cause of death was
pleurisy in connexion with the lungs. I also observed
the state of his body from the 18th of August, and
he was complaining of pain until the 20th September.
Supposing him to have received the violence spoken to
this day. I der not think it would have directly produced
the inflammation. It might have been the indirect
cause, that is by the deceased lying in bed,
and then leaving his warm bed to go to his
work, and Isis consequent exposure to the cold air.
If he had never gone out at all from the 18th of August
ilea! the 26th, I think he might have survived the in-
juries he had received. I do cot think the injuries
themselves wotild have caused death directly, if he bail
not caught cold. I cannot say his merely breathing the
common atmosphere in that state would have a ten-
dewy to give him cold. Not such violence as I saw
so rn:Aome of could have produced the inflammation which
was the cause of death; but there is a degree of violence
which might have caused death. I know what a police-
neari'e truncheon is, it is a very heavy instrument. I
observed the blows must have been repeated; I mean, by
repeated, blow ef.er blow, on the same spot. Sup-
posing a person to have aeceived repeated and violent
blows on his right side with a policeman's truncheon,
that would not hare cause I inflammation of the
pleure, unless Vie blow had broken some of the
ribs and they had penetrated the pleura. Supposing
re person thrown violently to the ground on his face, and
a person of the size of the prisoner bad knelt upon his
chest, I don't think that would have produced such in-
flammation as I saw, unless some of the ribs had been
broken. I believe the inflammation in the pleura which
I saw to have be.n the result of cold. I believe the in-
juries which the deceased received had nothing to do
directly with his death. They might have made him
more susceptible of cold. The tendency of such injuries
would be of a depressing character.
This witness was not crosa-examined.

This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury for the de-
fene,. He c,intended that the nature of the surgeon's
evii!ence was such that the case for the prosecution had
en,irely failed, and tnat the prisoner had not acted with
the sligttest impropriety from the beginning to the end
ttvs transaction. If a man like the deceased chose to
oopose himself to the public safety and the public peace
the police were called upon to repress such disturbances,
an l ouch a man must abide the consequences.
Tie Learned Ce.unsel then reviewed the evidence for
the pros, cutirli at great length, and concluded an olc-
CrlCkit address by calling on the jury to restore the pri-
sotier to that position in society of which he had been
for a time deprived.
Eeveral witnesses, policemen and others, were then
ca11,,3 on behalf of the prisoner, who told quite a dif-
ferent version f the affair from that given by the wit-
nesses fur thsa prosecution.
[ the trial had not concluded when we went to
press, but when our report left there was a geheral
belief that the prisoner would be acquittel]
