CROWN SIDE.

Mr. Justice BURIROVGII, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, laid much stress upon the law now applicable,
to the crime of manslaughter. By the new Act, he
said the sentence was left much to the discretion of
the Judge, who bad it in his power, in aggravated
cases, to carry punishment so far as transportation
for fourteen years. Such an Act was most salutary,
he might say most necessary; for there were many
circumstances under which manslaughter fell little
short of murder. This, for instance, was particularly
the case with respect to deaths arising out of prize-
fighting. The London bruisers, from their strength
and science, were able, many of them, to kill a man
with a single blow. Juries were too apt, under the
idea of " a fair fight," to find verdicts upon such oc-
casions merely of manslaughter: he (Mr. Justice Bur-
rough) should frequently be disposed to consider
them as amounting to capital offences.
Robert Chikott, a wretched-ltioking man of seventy.
one years of age, was this morning, put to the Bar,
charged with a detestable offence. The evidence was
most clear against the prisoner), and the Jury, after
about two minutes consideration,, found him Guilty.
The Judge
,(Mr. Justice Duattouuti), its passing
,sentence of death, advised the whttehed man to make
the best use of the short time which yet remained to
him, for that, beyoud a doubt, sentence would be

MARRIED.
