ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHARN GlRCUlT.—Liverpool: Dec. 16.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
William • Smith, 35, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of Charles Carlisle.
Mr. Blair prosecuted, and Mr. Pollock defended
the prisoner.
The prisoner was an engineer in the service of
Mr. Pooley, of Manchester, and had to manage three
engines worked by seven boilers. The deceased was
an engine-driver, and acted under the prisoner's or-
ders. About nine o'clock on the morning of Thurs.
dly, the 10th of October, an explosion took place in
a boiler called "N. 4," in the engine room. The
flue, which ran through the centre of the boiler, was
burst by •the pressure of the steam, the engine-house
was filled with hot ashes and steam, and the deceased,
who, when the explosion took place, was on one of
,he adjoining boilers, was so seriously injured that he
died in ten days after.

It appeared that a few months ago another explo-
sion had taken place on the same premises, and the
fireman had ken killed. It was then thought de-
sirable to alter the construction of the flues, which
had previously been of what is called the "D" shape,
convex below and flat above, and replace them by
others of a circular make. This had been done in
five out of seven boilers; but No. 4 had not been
filtered. On the Saturday previous to this explosion
it was discovered that the flue of the last-
mentioned boiler leaked at a place where its
extremity was rivetted by a Binge to the inside
of the boiler. This was temporarily repaired, so
as to stop the leaking, and on the Monday following
the boiler was worked as usual. Still, however, it
leaked; and the prisoner ordered some 'screw-
patches," as they were called, to be prepared for the
purpose of securing it, and stopping the leaking.
Tnese patches were made of iron of the same thickness
as the boiler, to be fastened by screw rivets, to be
passed through holes drilled through the patches and
the boiler, and fastened by nuts, some softer material
bring placed between them, to prevent the leakage.
Before this was done, however, the prisoner sent for
Mr. Swaine, the boiler-maker, and told him what he
was going to do. He was told by Mr. Swaine that
the boiler was not safe, and he must not work it any
more, which the prisoner promised to attend to. The
boiler remained standing until the following Wed•
nesday, when the prisoner ordered two of the work.
men to prepare five screw patches, and fasten them on
the place in question. This was accordingly done,
and the boiler was worked again on the Thursday
morning. It had been at work for three or four hours
previous to the accident. On making an examination
of the boiler on the following day, it was found that
at the place where the leak existed, and which,' when
Mr. Swaine saw it, showed a crack of about 14 inches
in length, the flange was torn from the body of the
flue the whole way across the top, and the top of the
flue itself was thrust down nearly to the bottom of
the flue for about half its length, and there was a frac-
ture in the substance of the upper part of the flue
about seven feet from the end, extending nearly the
whole way across it.
His LORDSHIP intimated that the case depended
almost wholly on Mr. Swaine's evidence, but it
seemed very doubtful from his testimony whether the
prisoner understood, from the communication then
made to him, that the boiler was too unsafe to be
rendered fit to work with by screw-patching it. He
had undoubtedly been told that it was unsafe as it
was, but might have thought that the screw•patching
it would have rendered it secure, and acted upon that
supposition. He thought it could not be clearly es-
tablished against the prisoner that there was anything
more than an error in judgment on his part.
The jury accordingly Acquitted the prisoner.
Thomas Jones, Thomas Calderbank, and Thomas
Eastham were indicted for night poaching and as-
saulting the keepers of the Earl of Derby, while in
the execution of their duty.
The jury found Jones Guilty, and Acquitted the
other two prisoners.

The Learned JUDGE sentenced Jones to two
months' imprisonment.

(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.)
Edward Moran, 26, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of Andrew Murphy.

Mr. Aspinall conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Monk defended the prisoner.
It appeared that th© deceased in this case was by
trade a tailor, about 24 or 25 years of age, and came
to Manchester from Bradford, where he had previ-
ously been living on the 17th of September last. On
his arrival he went to a tailors' club, established for
the purpose of affording temporary accommodation to
those belonging to the association travelling in search
of work, on production of a card of membership. The
following day the deceased left this place in perfect
health, and it was proved that he was seen about two
o'clock on that day also in good health and quite sober.
About ten o'clock at night it would be shown that he
arrived at the door of the Tib-street ,establishment,
called the " Vagrant Ward," in other words, a night
asylum for the houseless poor, established by the
board of 'guardians for the purpose Cpt, affording a
night's lodging and a little food to such as might de-
servedly apply for it. It appeared from the evidence
of Francis Halton, tramp-master, thst every person
who was taken in was obliged to do two or three
hours' work, in return for the accommodation, on
the following morning. The deceased assented
to this, and vtaaelteff taken 'l4 el. gad, according
to the practice of the Tib-street establishment,
the prisoner, and others belonging to the place,
proceeded to search him in his turn. When so
employed they found that he kept one of his hands
shut, and refused, on being requested, to open it.
The prisoner tried to force it open, but could not do
so ; and it was only when he got other assistance that
they succeeded in opening it, when about lOid. in
copper fell out. It then appeared that the deceased,
who was very indignant at the treatment he had re-
ceived, took off his boot and flung it so as to hit
another pauper. A scuffle then ensued between the
prisoner, who, it seemed, bad only one arm, the other
being a stump, and the deceased ; and the prisoner was
seen to hit the deceased in the face, but whether in-
tentionally or not the witness Dalton could not say.
The deceased, on being booked after thi3 occurrence,
gave his name and age, and did not appear to have
anything the matter with him, and to bo quite sober.
When he came down to supper he showed Dalton his
thumb, which appeared to be dislocated. The follow-
ing morning, on being awakened, he complained cf
being unwell all over him. He was told he might re-
main where he was, and if necessary, the doctor
should see him. Later in the morning he vomited
considerably a greenish liquid, which smelt strongly
of spiriO. He came down shortly after nine o'clock,
and his eye was noticed as being discoloured, and he
was unable to eat the usual breakfast, which, as well
as the supper given to tramps, consisted of milk and
porridge made of Indian corn. Isabella Robinson;
mistress of the female tramps, described the scuffle
which took place, in which she was only a spectator.
She SAW the prisoner give the deceased two blows,
one of which knocked him against the pantry door,
and she heard Mr. Hollis, the superintendent, say,
" Hold, Moran ; that won't do." `lois witness gave
the prisoner an excellent character for kiedness and
humanity, and spoke also to a conversation which she
had with him the following day, during which he
said, in reference to the deceased " What I've done
at him, Isabella, wouldn't hurt a fly." The same
morning the doctor saw him, and Mr. Hollis said he
also saw him several times during the day, and he
gradually got worse till he was removed to the work
house. There appeared, from the testimony of Hol•
lig, to be great doubt as to the correctness of Mrs.
Robinson's evidence. Hs did not even see her pre •
sent during the whole of the scuffle, though he ad-
mitted that she might have been there without his
seeing

head nurse at the workhouse, spoke to
the &ceased being brought there on Tbursdity, the
I9th of September. He was unable to walk up stairs
without assistance. He remained there during two
days, and was attended by Mr. Evan Thomas, the
surgeon. The greatest suffering appeared to be in the
head. He died at two o'clock on the Sunday
morning.

Mr. Evan Thomas, the surgeon, on examining the
deceased, found contusion of the hand. At the work-
house he examined his head. He had a black eye,
and he thought, from the symptoms he might be
labouring under disease of the brain, and he treated
him accordingly. He died• from effusion of blood on
the brain, or, in fact, apoplexy, which he thought pro-
bably arose from violence, as he saw nothing in the
post mortem examination to indicate that it was owing
to natural causes.

Mr. Elkanah Holroyd, surgeon, Manchester, made
the post mortem examination. The right eye was
very black ; the left ear and throat were very livid.
The chest and stomach were healthy. The bladder
was distended, whence he inferred that something was
wrong with the brain, on examining which he found
a considerable extravasation of blood. He attributed
the death to violence. One of the arteries had given
way, which was very likely to give way from violence,
but which seldom did so in cases of natural apoplexy.
Both the medical witnesses were subjected to con-
siderable cross- examination by the Learned Counsel
for the prisoner, in the course of which it appeared
that death resulted from extravaseion of blood upon
the brain, • from the giving way of an artery in the
dura mater.

Mr. Motsx, at the close of the case for the prosecu-
ion, asked his Lordship if there was any case for tie
ury? upon which

The Learned dMG 13 said that perhaps the jury had
better hear the Learned Counsel, though, if they
acted on the evidence of Mr. Hollis, he did not see
how they could convict the prisoner, and that it had
not been proved that the prisoner struck the blow
behind the ear, which appeared to have had the most
serious effect on the brein.

The jury expressed themselves satisfied that this
was not a case for conviction, and acquitted the
prisoner.

His LORDSHIP in discharging him, said he thouglt
it only just to him to say that he did not appear to
have intenti9nally done anything, in the discharge of
his duty, calculated to injure the deceased.
This terminated the business of the assizes.
