LAW INtELLIGENC.b.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 2.
MACNAMARA V. HULSE AND OTHERS.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. KELLY addressed the. Jury for the defendants,
and called a witness, when the CHIEF BARON summed
up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants,
on the ground that the alleged invention of the plain-
tiff was not new.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

(Before Lord DENBIAN and Mr. Baron PARKE.)
William Dewey, 40, a soldier, was next charged
with the wilful murder of Ellen Derrick.
The prisoner, by the Coroner's inquisition, ap-
peared to be charged with the offence of manslaughter.
Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner.

In this case, it appeared that the deceased had
lived with the prisoner as his wife for several years,
and on the day mentioned in the indictment the pri-
soner was seen assisting the deceased, who was very
much intoxicated, along the street, and she was ob-
served to fall several times. The prisoner picked her
up, and when she fell, some of the witnesses ex-
pressed their opinion that the prisoner kicked her, but
the fact was by no means distinctly proved. When
the prisoner got the deceased home he obtained the
assistance of the neighbours, and appeared to have
done all he could for her relief.
Mr. Baron PARKE, at the close of the evidence for
the prosecution, said that there did not appear to be
any foundation for the charge of murder, but he must
confess that he was surprised, when the Coroner's
Jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter only,
that a charge of murder should be preferred against
the prisoner.
Lord Chief Justice DENMAN said he quite con-
curred in the observations that had been made by his
Learned Brother, and he thought that they applied
equally to the former case. He could not help ex-
pressing his opinion that in such cases as these it was
most cruel to put an individual upon his trial for
his life.
Mr. CIIARNOCK then addressed the Jury, and said
that the prisoner and the public were indebted to the
Learned Judges for the opinion they had expressed in
reference to this and the preceding case, and he
trusted it would have the effect of preventing, for the
future, such an occurrence, as that an individual
should be subjected to the terror and misery of being
arraigned upon a charge affecting his life when the
evidence could not, by any means, support such an
indictment. The Learned Counsel was then about
to proceed to comment upon the facts as affecting a
charge of manslaughter, when the Jury stopped him,
and said they had made up their minds, and con-
sidered the charge was not made out against the
prisoner.
Baron PARKE—You do not think that he is even
guilty of the offence of manslaughter. The Foreman
—No, my Lord.
A verdict of " Not guilty " was then returned, and
the Court ordered the prisoner to be immediately dis-
charged.
John Bickerstaff,_ aged 17, was indicted for stealing
from the person of James William Worthington a
cloak, value 21., the property of the Rev. J. W.
Worthington.
As the facts of the case have been given fully in the
police reports within the last-two or three days, it will
be unnecessary to repeat them on the present occa-
sion. The prisoner, it will be recollected, met the son
of the prosecutor, and under pretence of sending him
to get a trap and ball, she got possession of his cloak,
and made off with it. There were several other in-
dictments against her of a similar character.
The Jury found her guilty, and the Court ordered
her to be transported for ten years.
The Grand Jury having returned a true bill against
Mr. Barnard Gregory for publishing an alleged libel in
the Satirist newspaper on the Duke of Brunswick,
Mr. Bodkin applied to the Court to fix the amount of
recognizances, and Lord Denman directed that the
defendant should enter into his own recognizances in
100/., and find two sureties in 501. eeeh, to abide his
trial.

kered fellow, NEW COURT.
ROBBER? AT A FIGHT.—An athletic, large whis-
stealing, on the 29th of November, six pounds of beef
named Thomas Taylor, was indicted for
and part of a hare, from the larder of James Belcher.
It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Berkeley
Arms public-house, at Cranbrook, Middlesex, and
that, on the morning of Tuesday last, a coach and a
van loaded with patrons of the "ring," and a miscel-
cellaneous collection of members of the " swell mob"
and the "fancy," did him the honour of stopping at
his door for refreshment, on the way to a "mill" that
was to come off that day on the Bath road. The gen-
tlemen alighted, and proceeded en masse to the bar,
where the attention of the prosecutor was soon en-
tirely occupied in supplying them with liquor ; while
so engaged, some of them, in the most daring manner,
fastened the unfortunate Boniface into his own bar,
while another part of the gang made
prisoners of the
servants in the kitchen. They then proceeded to the
larder, and helped themselves to such viands as it con-
tained, concluding by decamping with the beef and
the hare mentioned in the indictment. As soon as
prosecutor regained his liberty, he pursued the coach,
and found the lost provisions very near the prisoner's
place ; as he had been one of the most active in the
sack of the larder, prosecutor gave him inte the cus-
tody of an officer, and charged him w_th robbery. ,
ile COMMON SERGEANT, in summing up, said a
clear case of larceny had been wade out, and had the
