John Christian Cotetiian was capitally Indicted
for ‘vilfully, And.with malice aforethoutdit, stab-
bing and cutting, on the 15th of septentber. Bar-
tholomew itlatiniic; ‘vith a certain knhe, with ill-
tent to kill and initrder hint, and of which mortal
wounds the said Bartholomew Alannix did die.

Mr. ANDREWS opened the case on the part of
the prosecution, and stated to the Jilt'y that which
he was not allowed to prove in evidence—the exa-
urination of the deceased on hiS death=betlagainst
the prisoner. It was as follows :—" Christian
Coleman gave me the stab : he ftrst came towards
mewith a knife, I gave him a box on the ear tokeep
him off, and to prevent him from using it, but it
had not the desired effect.''
the Counsel for the prosecution called the fol-
lowing witnesses :
Dank) Hayes was a shoemaker, and lived at
No 39, Monmouth-street. Ile knew Mannix, the
deceased, who resided at No. 20, in the same
street, in a cellar : he sold old shoes there, but tut=
lowed the business of a sawyer. The prisoner at
the bar was his son-in•late. On Sunday morning,
the 15th of September, witness was in Mannix's
cellar when the deceased came home. Tile pri-
soner and the wife of the de-ceased were at that
time at home. On Saturday, the 14th, Mannix,
being an Irishman, •went to an Irishman's wake,
and left it in liquor between three and four o'clock
in the morning. On Sunday morning the tleceas»
ed went nut between seven and eight, in conse-
quence of a person coming to buy some shoes of
hint, and by ti horn he was invited out to drink.
Witness remained in the cellar, and when Mannik
returned ut eleven o'clock, very much in liquor,
his wife was selling a pair of shoes at the door.
The man said one shoe was bigger than the other,
and whilst be was saying these words the deceased
came. Mannix said, " I know very well how
the business is going on," anti then he and his wife
had some words about money. Witness supposed
they were speaking about the money due to the
prisoner by a last-maker in Earl'sstreet, to whom
he teas apprenticed, Mrs.'Mannix said, " You are
always wanting the handling of my son's wages,"
and went up the back stairs of the house., Mannix
followed her, as if in anger ; hot witness went
after hint and bronght him hack into the cellar.

rwe prisoner was then standing still there, and
tlie deceased said, " 1 have a mind to give it to
you," and wrnt tip to him as it -to strike hint.
Coleman endeavoured to nt himself. They
both '-grappled together, and Colt nnan fell 'against
the wail. The deceased ditertly Went after his
Cedenian then gut up., and wilt a-knife
he load in his hand previous to the grapple,
hnt tyllich, during the hustle, had dropped out of

his hand, he went alter the deceased:. it WAS a
shoemaker's Liar, usually kept in the cellar for
the, purpose of cutting leatla'r. The prisoner
picked np.thc knife and followtd Mannix, saying,
hits,:itick him through if he touches my um-
thcr."- Wtinesi remained in the cellar, rind soots
after be heard the deceased cry oat loudly, "Take
the Knife, tpkc the knife." `lbis was a very short
time after the prisoner left the cellar. Coleman
presently came down, with his right side covesed
with blood, and tithes' asked, " llave you stuck
Mannix ?" The prisoner made no answer, but
gaye a groan. Ills mother then came down the
back stairs, and the brother of the decea,!ed at the
saute time descended the street steps. Mrs.
Mannix 'auswered to witness's question in the
affirmative, and told him to go for a doctor. The
deceased then came down covered with blond, Anil
witness went, according to his directions, for the
doctor.

Andrew Tassie kept the house bt Iklonmoutb•
street, where Mauttix • lived. It WaS on Sunday
morning, idiom 1 I n'eli,Ch when this misfortune
happened. Witness lived in the house, and hear-
ing- a bustle in the pas,age, opened the door from
his 51101, and went to see.what it wtts. There
was a hack stair-ease in the house which led into
the cellar. Upon hearing,the noise, witness l'ent
into the passage, proceeded up stairs, and found
the wife of the deeel,sed standing there on the
lainling-place. Ile asked why she stood there,
and she said; " 1 ratne here out of the way, for
lily husband has been beating me." Immediately
Mannix came up, and in a mild and pleasant tone
asked her to go down stairs ; she said she would

not go, she would not go to be beaten. Whilit-
theY %ctn.' specking, the prisoner came up, with a
knife itt his hand, and made a melt at the deceased.
Mannix cried not, and the blood was immediately
peen to rtin from him. Presently a person came
iu front the street, unknown to witness, and took
the deceased an ay streaming with blood. Titers
were no Wows ,struck between the parties. Wit-
mess endeavoured to get the knife tram the pri-
loner, but could not : at last by persuahion he

TRIAL OF TURNER, THE Pt'GILIST.

A di (intent was then put in to prove, that as

he delivered - himself op imuiediately.
The pribuner was then eAled upon for his de-

fence. He put in a written paper, in which he re-

and he should not have fought on this unfortunate
occasion,. had he not been goaded and instigated
to it by .ot hers. lie concluded with assuring the
Court, that no preaions malice had entered his
mind against the deceased.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good cha-
racter, and particularly a leather-cutter, who had
employed 7 toner in that trade.
Air. Baxter, the prisoner's brother-in•laW, and
who had known the prisoner from his infancy,
proved, that on the present occasion be had been
laughed and scoffed at by Curtis, before the battle,
in a very insulting manner. At one titne the de.
ceased had said, " Do you think I could not beat
twenty such little things as you 1"
Mr. Baron CittAn Am, in summing up the evi.
desire, observed, that it was impossible to soy that
this.case . was accompanied by any symptoms of
malice. indeed, it appeared by the last witness.

hour and a half, that the prisoner cautiously and

might have done towards the deceased, front the

was no doubt that the prisoner :was guilty of

geon had told them that his death had been pro-
duced by the blows he had received.
The Jury, without the slightest hesitation,.
found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter, but
strongly reconnnended hint to mercy on account
of his humanity of conduct.
NIAIsN,AUGLITER.

Joseph Richards was then put to the bar on the
charge of killing and slaying John Desmond with

a certain iron instrumeat.

The facts of this case occurred as long ago as
the year 1809. It appeared that the prisoner and
the deceased (a young boy) lived together as,
smiths under the same master.• The boy had
placed himself in a wrong situation in the shop,
and the prisoner told him to get out of the- way.
Desmond said he would not, but would, if touch-
ed, kick the prisoner's Clins. Richards, being
provoked at this, threw an iron instrument at him,
which unfortunately stuck in his forehead. The
prisoner immediately pulled the iron out of his
head, took the boy up in his arms, put hins,in
a coach, and carried him to his parents. In 16
days Desinond died, and, as was proved by the
surgeon, of this wound he had received on the

bead. The prisoner exhibited great sorrow and
contrition for what he had done, am) so satisfied
were the parents that no malice was intended,
that be was not taken into custody. Richards
then went down into the country to avoid the
obligny and disgrace of the transaction, and af-
terwards carne and delivered himself up into cus-
tody. The Jury found a verdict--Guilty.

SACRILEGE,
Jahn Williams, alias Windtrs, was indicted for
feloniously and sacrilegiously breaking and enter-
ing the parish church of Heston, and stealing
therein some prayer-books, the property of- GO..
Villiers, Earl of Jersey.
The sexton of the church, and the pawnbroker
to whom the hooks were offered for sale, proved
the facts distinctly against the priioner, that the
hooks 'wet e stolen from the church, and that their
value amounted..to considerably,more than a thilL
ling. With respeCt to the fact of the borgUii,
that was not niateriM to be_ proved, as stealing
a place of divine worship, 'above the valise of ,a
shilling, was, by the law of the land, a capital
offince.

The Learwed Judge, .in.iuunthipk up, observed,
that although k was a' offence, yet
Court would hens antrciful as possiblito the "pri.
goner, who appeared to be inn mosqltiable coo-
dition of poverty and wratchedness.--,Ozititi.

of age, respectably dressed, lumped front the stage
box, on the King's side,. on - to the stage, and
presented himself to the audience' in a speaking
attitude. The. few words he was heard to
utter related to 'the 'Ministers and the- Royal
Family ; a great
.noise and confusion ensued,
from the audience calling out " Hear. him"
—". Off, off " " Turn hint out"--." Take
him out," &c. &c. The three servants of the
Theatre, employed in taking up the green cloth,
endeavoured to remove him, but he resisted most
violently ; they however 'overpowered him, and
took him away through the stage door, when they
were immediately assisted by Perry the fireman,
employed by the Theatre, who delivered hint into
the custody. of Donaldson, the constable. The
latter handctifed him, and conveyed him to Bow-
street Office, where Mr. Fawcett, the Stage
Manager, and other Gentlemen. belonging.to the
Theatre, attended.
The account he gave of himself was, that he
was Sir William Shirley, a Baronet ; that lie had
kft Dublin on Saturday week ; and since his ar-
rival in London, he had lodged at a ' house in
Carey-street, from his description of which it ap-
peared to he one of a certain description, kept by

On inquiry at the house kept by Mother Jacobs,
he was owned as her lodger ; ,he was asked how
he came to take up his lodging at a holtse of that
description, when lie was possessed of plenty of
money to pros ide himself with better accommo-

on his'gOing to see the cause, he found the pri-
soner in the act of haranguing the audience. There
Was a great noise and notch confusion. He made
use of a number of seditions, obscene, and bias-
pl►eutous expressions. lie put on a Freemason's
apron which he took front his pocket. Mr. Bran-
don con,iderell him insane.
The prisoner appealed to Mr. C. Kemble with

respect to his intentions_ to do any harm. To
which Mr. K. replied, it was itnpobsible for hint
to say what iiis intentions were, but be certainly

was the cause of a great disturbance. He gave
his name yesterday_ morning as William Ainslie
Honiton Shirley. He accounted for having a pen-
sion still' allowed him by Government; although'
he had been discharged front the Navy, thit it
was in consequence of the wounds he had teceiv-'
ett in battle its defence of his country. He was
very composed any! calm yesterday morning. He
boasted of the greatness and merits of his ances-
tors. He said his uncle,-Sir Thos. Shisley, was
a great soldier, as well as the Duke of %Veiling-
ton... The only.difference was,

MARLBOROUGH-STREiT.—Mr: Fenton, of the:
Hotel of that name in St. James's-street, appear•,
ed to a summons charging him with refusing to
take in a dragoon billetted upon him. The coo•:
stable Who drew the billet proved that he had so.,
vartered the man upon the Hotel, and the dra-
goon proved his refusal to take him in.-Ikfr.:
Fenton said it was hard upon him, for in these'
times he seldom drew a cork, and he had under•'
stood there was a clause in the Act of Parliament
which protected the citizens of Westminster
against receiving any others of the military force
than the soldiers of the three regiments of Goods,
who were more on duty than any others in:
Westminster. He also thought undue preference
had been given by the constables ; but this charge:
was not established, nor any clause in the Mutiny?,
Act, to bear him out in his objection ; he was,
therefore ordered to obey the billet.
