SUMMER ASSIZES.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--York, July 19.
CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
THE BRADFORD MURDER CASE.—His Lordship took
his seat at nine o'clock this morning, when the five per-
sons charged with the murder of Benjamin Gott, at
Bradford, were again placed at the bar. The Learned
Judge commenced summing up, by expressing his regret
that he felt it necessary to have the jury locked up for
the night, but he was satisfied that it would be much
more satisfactory to them to have the evidence reca-
pitulated this morning, accompanied by such observations
as he should think proper to make to them. The pri-
soners at the bar, together with John M`Cann, not in
custody, were charged with the wilful murder of Ben-
jamin Gott—the highest crime which one subject could
commit towards another— and which involved the lives
of the prisoners, and was sufficient, therefore, to engage
their most, serious attention. No doubt Benjamin Gott
came to his death by violence, but several questions of
importance, of some nicety, and of some difficulty,
would arise for their consideration, and decision ; but
whatever might be the result of this inquiry, he could
not but lament that such scenes should be exhibited in
this country, of the description of the one out of which
this unhappy occurrence had arisen. It was impossible for
any person acquainted with human nature to suppose
that a party of men should parade through a popular
town like Bradford, exhibiting party colours, and playing
tunes ol a party and offensive character, without pro-
ducing riot and even bloodshed; and when he heard from
one of the witnesses that no such procession as the one
in question had taken place fur a number cf years, be
could not but regret the renewal of the practices of such
exhibitions. With respect to the nature of the proces-
sion, and the tunes that were played, for the purpose of
exhibiting some sort of triumph over a certain class of
the inhabitants or Bradford, it was impossible for any
one to doubt that the tune of the " Boyne Water" was
not played with such intention, although one of the wit-
nesses, who was a member of one of the Orange Lodges,
had at first stated that it was played because it was a
merry tune ; the same party, however, afterwards ad-
mitted that the tune was played in commemoration of
William passing the Boyne water, the remembrance of
which circumstance was very offensive to a large, por-
tion of the Irish people. The tune was played in Brad-
ford on the day in question, and in that part of Brad-
ford where the principal part of the Irish reside ; and
there could be no doubt it was caculated to excite their
feelings, especially so when it was played in that part
of the town where they lived Not that such act jus-
.tified what afterwards took place ; but one could not
but lament that such things should take place. He
hoped the jury would divest their minds of all they
had previously heard, and form their judgment on
what had taken place in that Court. The indictment,
which charged the prisoners at the bar with the murder,
also contained a charge of manslaughter ; so that if the
jury should be of opinion that the prisoners were not
guilty of murder, they , could return a verdict of man-
slaughter; or, under a-recent statute, of an assault only;
or if they found that the charges had not been brought
home to the prisoners, they would acquit them alto-
gether. They would first ascertain the quality of the
act, whether it amounted to murder, or whether it was
accompanied by circumstances which would reduce the
offence to manslaughter. The crime of murder was to
kill with malice aforethought, but if they found that the
offence was committed under the excitement produced
by the offensive tunes played by the band, and in tho
course of an affray in which blows were exchanged, then
the crime would only amount to manslaughter. It would
next be their duty to ascertain what part the several
prisoners had taken in the act. The man or
men who struck the fatal blow would be guilty either
of murder or manslaughter, but the other parties might
be guilty or not, according to the part they took in the
transaction. If several persons form one common de-
sign, and perpetrated one common deed, and went out
together for the accomplishment of such design, then
whatever one did, in carrying out the object, they were
all equally responsible; but if they did not go out with a
preconceived plan, and without knowing what they
were going to do, and the blows were given, then the
party who actually struck was alone guilty. The
Learned Judge then went minutely through the evi-
dence, the recapitulation of which occupied the Court
nearly two hours.

The jury then retired, and after an absence of an
hour, returned a verdict of Guilty of menslaughter
against all the prisoners. The sentence was deferred.

FINE TROUT.—Mr. Waller, while fishing
the Lea river, at Hoddesdon, on Wednesday last, hooked and
landed a most splendid trout, in the highest condition. It
measured twenty-two inches'in length, the saute in girth, and
weighed ten pounds.—Herts County Press.
