and Matthew Anderson ((he deceased), were
wonking in the same -room,' when a (JO trrel took
place. between - the • prisoner and the &teased,
which originated in the lattr taking from the prri.

Mr. Turner, Surgeon, of Rotherham, described
the nature of the wound :—The instrument had en-
tered immediately:belOw the blade of the skrilder,
and had penetrated an inch and. a half into the lungs.
The boy lived about five minutes after he arrived,
which wags almost immediately after the acei(!ent.
I'he wound appeared to have been infiided with a
Sharp and pointed instrument, and he had no mati=
ner of doubt but that wound was the occasion of his'

John Hudson, uho is. a constilble, produced a
knife, which was given to,birn bY the prisoner's fl-. 4
ther ; it, was not stained With blood.' The clothes
of the deceased were also produceJ.7-There was a
cut in the shirt, and also in waistcoat, occa-.
sibned by the knife, but all traces at blood had been
washed out. • ,

His L.ordship, in his observations to the Jury, said;
it was evident ihe dexh of the. deceased had been
ocasione3 by the prisoner, <nd .I.l‘ niess tiie Jury
could believe he was acting ib !ts Own :nece,isary
selt-dtfmce, and which he oinkt suggest to them
'as 'a serious' question, they mus. find th!~ prisoner
guiltrof the crime imputed to him, namely, that ct
wanslaughtet. •

'file Jury found the prisoner Guilty,' and his
Lord,hip, atter a very solemn admonihon on the
danger of giving way to intemperate irans;:orts of
pas;ion, s,ntenced him to be Oned one shilling, and
be imprisoned for two months.

Mr: CURWEN, of Workington Hall, Member for
Carlisle, keeps on his farm, at the Schoose, twenty-
five cows, chiefly Holderness, which .enables him to
sell tr‘t twelve Months, in the town of, Workington,
more than 100,000 quarts of milk. ' Allowing suffi-
cient for-,their support, each cow will leave him a
profit of 2.01; per annum. A proof that no Gentle-
man, in the vicinity of a town, can appropriate his
land to-a better purpose than that'of a dairy.
The, fine &f lowers have made a wonderful altera-
tion in the grain throughout Dorsershire, In many
Places where the farmer despaired of his wheat crop,
and sowed barley, both are cunie up in great plenty;
'the ears are remarkably long and .fine.
