MANSLAUGHTER.

(Before Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Baron GARROW. )
John Everett, aged 17, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of Thomas Ross, on the 24th of July, in
the parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell.
Mr. Justice PARK enquired if Mr. Unwin, the
Coroner, Was in Court,and on being answered in the
negative, he, with the assent of Mr. Baron Garrow,
ordered him to be fined 101. He begged it to be
understood that the precept demanded and required
Coroners to be present on these occasions; the
Court miglit, feel it its duty to put questions to them
touching some circumstances in cases in which they
had committed.
James Donnelly, a prisoner, was now called and
examined by the Court. This unfortunate transac-
tion took place on the 24th of .kuly. Ross, the de-
ceased, and the prisoner, were also in prison with
me. We were on the tread-wheel on the day in
in question. Ross was on the first wheel, whose
business it was to count the tallies; I was
the next man to him, and the prisoner at
the bar was on the third wheel. Ross
was supposed to have called the tallies wrong by
Everet. Ross said lie was a liar, he had done no
such thing. Everett said "you did." Ross, in
reply called him a liar. Everett said, " can you
prove that of me ?" Ross said, " yes; I can."—
Everett immediately jumped off the wheel, and Ross
struck him on the face. Witness was sure
that Ross gave the first blow. Everett then
struck Ross on the left eye with his right hand.
Ross and the prisoner then went and sat on different
forms ; there was no more fighting at than In
about five or six minutes, deceased kept rubbing his
eye; and complaining very
much of a pain in his
head. He died on the 26th or 27th of the same
month.
Mr. Webb, surgeon of the Cleikenwell prison,
was called upon on the 25th July by the prisoner to
prescribe for him. Prisoner told him he had a fall.
Witness said he was sure the injury to the eye could
not have arisen from a fall, but from a severe blow. He
examined; the eye; the prisoner died on the follow-
ing morning, without having complained any more.
Mr. Hunter, another surgeon, examined the head
of the deceased in company with the last witness,and
found about two ounces of coagulated blood on the
brain, from the rupture of an artery.—Verdict
" Guilty."

Mr..lustiee PARK immediately passed sentence.
From the evidence it was clear that the deceased had
used an expression most unjustifiable, if the prisoner
felt himself to be a man undeserving such an applica-
tion, and sufficient to raise his indignation; besides,
the deceased had first struck the prisoner. He (the
Learned Judge) regretted the consequences of the
affray, and which, no doubt, would ever be a source
of lamentation to the prisoner, if he was a good
man. The sentence was, that he should be fined
one shilling.

HOUSE BREAKING.
Martha Harold, aged 18, stood capitally indicted
for breaking into the dwelling-house of Thomas
Worcester, in the parish of St. Luke, on the 2d of
October, and stealing therein one bonnet, value 55.,
and one shawl, of the value of 35., the goods of
Martha Wainwright, spinster.
Martha Wainwright had lived with Worcester for
four months. About the beginning of the present
month, witness went with Worcester and his wife to
Croydon fair. Worcester is a coster-monger. Wor-
uester fastened the door with a bolt ; any
person might have opened the doer. When
they returned, they found the door had been opened.
and the property in question taken away. The bon-
tiet produced was the bonnet that had been stolen.
The shawl had never been found.

Another witness swore that the prisoner brought
the bonnet to her, and asked her to take care of it.

Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good elm-
racter.—Verdiet—" Not Guilty."

BURGLARY.
Charles Sago, aged 25, a sailor, was indicted for
burglariously breaking into the dwelling-house of
James Chorley, in the parish of St. George's in the
East, and stealing therein one waistcoat, value 35.,
and one gown, value 25., on the 17th of October,
the property of Chorley.
Mrs. Chorley kept the house in question. Her
husband was at sea. On the evening of the 17th,
witness locked her door, and went to her sister's to
pass the evening; her sister's was close by ; when
she returned she still found the door locked; she was
then informed that somebody had been in the house;
went round to the yard and saw the shadow of two
men in the bed-room up stairs, with a candle. When
the men were alarmed, they cams down and ran
off: as they were making their escape, saw the
prisoner throw from him the waistcoast now pro-
duced, which she picked up, and which was her
husband's. The prisoner was apprehended by the
watchman. The gown produced at the watch-
house to her was her own. 'Witness afterwards
found some matches and a candle in the bed-room;
which did not belong to her, but must have been
left there by those who had been up stairs.
A labouring man saw the prisoner with another
man come out at the door. The prisoner had a
lighted candle in his hand at the time, which, when
he: got to the door, be blew out. Witness imme-
diately ran up to him and took him into custody.
The other man got Off.
The watchman who took the prisoner to the
watch-house, on his return back to his beat kicked
against a gown, which he of course took up. The
gown belonged to Mrs. Chorley.—Verdict, Guilty.

MANSLAUGHTER
When the case of Patrick alias Paddy Finn, for
the manslaughter of John Kemp Crow, was called
on, it appeared that the seconds of Finn, who had
been out on bail, had surrendered themselves, yet
Reid the fighter, and his companion, the seconds of
the deceased, had not yet been found. The Court
ordered them to be called ; they did not appear,
and the Court ordered a Bench-warrant to issue
immediately for their apprehension, and the trial to
stand for neat Tuesday morning.
NEW. COURT.
(Before Mr. DENMAN, the Common Sergeant.)
John Featherston, alias Wilson, aged 36, was in-
dicted for stealing a pair of sheets, value 65., from
his lodgings, the property of John Palmer, of Back-
hill, Hatton-garden.
The prisoner, in defence, stated that he was in
the employ of. Government, and that from some ac-
cident hie remittances had not arrived, and being in
great distress he had taken the sheets (with the in-
tention of returning them) to raise money for the
postage of some letters sent to him on the account
of his stilt-Ailment, and which, had they been de-
layed, would have cost the country some thousands.
His mission was of the greatest secrecy, and he could
not. state' it to the Jury, but he produced letters
which hestated were from the Lords of the Treasury,
which he' desired might be handed to his Lordship,
but to ,no one else.

The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty," and his
Lordship, on inquiry, found that he had been there
before, on a similar charge.
Thomai Halfpenny, John Stevens, and Thomas
Pratt, were indicted for stealing four silk handker-
chiefs, from Elizabeth Hickman a wasker-woman,
in Somers' Town.—" Guilty." ,
John Jona was indicted for stealing 'a watch and

seals, a pen-knife, and various articles of wearing ap-
parel, the property of Thomas Storer. The prose-
cutor was bathing in the Serpentine River, on the
26th of. Septimber, having left his clothes on the
bank, and when he came out missed his trowiers
containing the above articles. The prisoner was
taken with the watch, comb, and pen-knife, and pair
of braces, in his possession.
The prisoner nosy pleaded distress, and that he
had found the property in the Park.
The Jury found the prisoner 6' Guilty," but re-
commended him to mercy, as did also the prosecutor,
stating that he had ascertained that the prisoner was
respectable, but was reduced.

John Johnson was convicted of stealing 25 lbs. of
leather, value 21. the property of his employer,
Messrs. Stubbs and Hancock, coach-builders.

Mary Crow, aged 26, was indicted for stealing
nine silk handkerchiefs. The prosecutor is an Irish
hawker, and on the 25th of September he got

were discovered to have been pawned by the pri-
soner. The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty."
