that morning, the prisoner, the deceased, and a third boy,
stripped to bathe in the Canal. After they had been in
some time, the prisoner pulled the deceased by the lag,
against which he wu cautioned by the witness, and promised
not to play such '4 larks" in future. While the deceased
was standing near the bank, close by the White Bridge,
Maiden-lane, Connor pushed him in. The little fellow
strugeled to recover hie footing, but in his exertions
so to do, only got still further into the water, where, after
continual struggling for several minutes, he sunk. There,
was no previous enmity between the prisoner and the de-
ceased ; on the contrary, they were constantly playmates.—
The prisoner was the first to go to the parents of the de-
mised, and acquaint them with what had taken place.
When the deceased had got beyond his depth, Connor waded
out as far as he could with safety, and extending his hand
towards the deceased, called to him, but the poor little fel-
low's head was then under water. Information was
to a police constable, who procured a drag, and the body
was recovered.

Mr. Hosams ordered the prisoner to be detained until
the result of the Coroner's Inquest shall be known.

that there was not a wind of truth in the paragraph in ques-
