CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
James Brigden, a cow-keeper and dairy-man, of Gulston-
street, Whitechapel, was yesterday brought before Mr. Bro-
derip, at the Thames Police-office, for final examination, on a
charge of manslaughter, in running his horse and cart over a
young married woman, named Ann Jones, who was killed
on the spot. _

The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter
against Brigden last week, after a clear attempt on the part
of Mr. Pelham to make the transaction appear accidental.
The ➢iagistrate again went into the case at length. The de.
ceased, who was the wife of a mariner now at sea, and had re-
cently opened a shop in Chamber-street, Goodman's-fields,
went out for an afternoon's walk on the Bth instant, with a
female named Wilson, and they were passing along Stepney-
green, close to the edge of the footpath, when the prisoner,
who was in a beastly state of intoxication, drove along the
road with his horse and cart in a most furious and reckless
manner. Both females were knocked down, and the wheels
of the cart passed over the deceased, and she expired almost
immediately of the injuries she received. The prisoner, who
was thrown out of the cart by the shock, was himself hurt,
and he afterwards put the body of his victim in the
cart, having previously removed a calf that was in it,
and he drove at a furious rate towards the London
Hospital, where the mangled remains of his victim
were deposited, and he was given into custody. The witnesses
said there was another man in the cart, but the prisoner was
driving, and the horse was driven at a furious rate along a
much frequented road. Not the slightest caution was used,
and the utmost recklessness was exhibited by the prisoner
in his drunkenness. No one in the cart gave any warning
to the people in the road, and if they had done so it would
have been useless, as the horse was driven at the rate of 12
or 14 miles an hour close to the footpath.
Mr. Charles Bell, a pupil of the London Hospital, said the
deceased was brought there in a lifeless condition on the
afternoon of the Bth instant. The skull was injured, and
there was excessive hemorrhage from the nostrils, and also
from the ears and mouth. The body was severely bruised.
He was present at the post mortem examination. Death was
caused by an effusion of blood caused by a concussion of the
brain. •

Mr. BRODERIP committed the prisoner for trial for- man-
slaughter, on which Mr. Pelham said he had an application
to make that the prisoner should be admitted to bail. The
evidenCe given before the Coroner raised something like a
presumption that the occurrence was accidental.
Mr. BRE DERIP :—Accident what decision did the Coro-
ner's jury come to?
Mr. Pelham said their verdict certainly was manslaughter
against the prisoner. His client deeply regretted the lament-
able occurrence. The prisoner was a most respectable man,
and had long carried on an extensive business with credit to
himself and.family, and his friends were ready to put in bail
to any amount. -A month would elapse before the commence-
ment of the sessions, and an application to the judges for bail
would be attended with trouble and expense he was desirous
to avoid.

Mr. BRODERIP said there was a good deal of furious driv-
ing going on, and people were hourly in danger of being run
over. In this case a young woman had been hurried out of
life by a drunken man, owing to his reckless and illegal
driving. The act was so clearly one of manslaughter that he
could not take bail, and he was moreover justified in refusing
it by the view taken of the case by the Coroner's jury, which
was the same as his own. As the case was presented before
him it was a very aggravated one, and he must refer the pri-
soner's solicitor to the judges it he wished to obtain bail for
him, and he should be so advised.—The prisoner was then
committed, both on the Coroner's warrant and the warrant of
the Magistrate.

NEW HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST:
We understand, in consequence of the success which has
attended Dr. Maddock, of the Dispensary, Judd-street,
Brunswick-square, in his treatment of consumption, asthma,
and many other complaints of the organs of breathing, and
also of the heart, by inhalation, or the Ideal application of
remedies to the seat of disease, it has been proposed to open
an hospital in the northern part of the'metiropolii, for the
purpose of relieving many thousands of tlie humbler classes
who annually suffer from these affections. hr addition to
the advantages to be reaped by the poor by the institution,
it is to be hoped that it will be the means of making the
above mode of practice more generally known and appre-
ciated by the medical profession. „
