WINTER ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOMB CIRCUIT---KINGSTON, DEC.
WITTMAN'S GASS:
Mr. Justice &TROUGH, in charging the ,Grand
Jury, remarked of this case that it was.necessary, if
the confession of the prisoner were taken at all, that
it should be all taken. In that event there was no
gloried for a charge-of murder; the crime amounted
to manslaughter at most.
After several cases of no great importance had
been disposed of Wittman's was called. The evi-
dence was precisely the same as was given when we
first noticed it, and it is so fresh in the remembrance
of our readers that it is unnecessary to repeat it.
The Judge summed up, and the Jury, without hesi-
tation, found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter.
lle wa3 condemned to three months' imprisonment.

Last week a young man named Johns, who
wolf, at Cardrew, near Redruth, being asleep in the
sump-house of that mine, was observed by two boys to
rise and walk to the door, against which he leaned. Shortly
alter (pitting that position, he walked to the engine-shaft,
and safely descended to the depth of SO fathoms, where he
WIN found by his comrade soon after, sound asleep, with
his head rusting on a ladder. was of course quickly
apprised of the perilone situation, in which he vvas, hat
appealed entirely at a loss to aroonnt for his being so
situated. Tha danger in whiol► hi dins unoonecionely
placed himself was considerably increased, from the cir-
cumstance of all the rasing or Partition which nstsally se-
parates the footway from the rods attached to the engine
having been previonely removed, for the parpose of putting
down the pitwork ; • these leaving open beneath him a large
shaft of the depth of nearly 100 fathoms, and down
which he most have been precipitated, in the event of the
least irregnlarity of his feet or Londe in the descent.--•
