OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY.

It is somewhat curious that 22 prisoners were brought from the
different Police Offices yesterday, to Newgate, for trial.
FA TA L Puenusx.---Joseph Painser, aged t 6, James Kendal, aged
14, Samson radar, aged 15, and Joseph Spring, aged 17, were indict.
ed for the manslaughter of William Gage, ou the 9th May last, in
the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal.green.
James Gage, brother of the deceased, stated, that on the 7th of
May his brother (the deceased) agreed with Palmer to light hiss vu
the 9th, and they accordingly met at a place called Hopetown, in a
field : James Kendal was seconded by his bruther,and Palmer by the
other two prisoners. They fought several rounds, when the de-
ceased slipt into a hole above a font deep, hut he fought sortie time
after. The fight lasted above three-quarters of an hour, when his
brother gave it up, walked away with him, and put on his
clothes. He complained of weakness and pains in the arms and
heart. He walked home, and then became insesteible, and was so
all night; he, in the morning, was carried to the Hospital, where
he died.

CHIeF BAILOWSTAS it a fair fight?
Witness—Yes, my Lord, it was.
Cross-examined by Mr. Aunsews--Palmer was always reluctant
to fight t►e deceased; he slipt into the hole when running back;
they called hint " coward," and urged him on.
By Mr. PRIMMILOMIT—KrucIaI was nut present when the btttic
was made up.
Other witnesses gave precisely the same account of the battle,
adding that the deceased had the worst of it all through, and was
frequently advised to give in, but be refused.
W. Adams, a medical student of the tondos Hospital. stated
that the deceased was brought into the Hospital and heed for about
12 hours. His death was caused by a pressure on ch.. brain, most
probably caused by a fall, and not a blow—there were external
bruises which could not have caused death.

The Oder BAUM summed up the case, and the Jury found. the
prisoner Not Guilty.
Joseph 7itylor, agect49, was indicted for killingknd slaying Ann
Taylor, his wife, on the 7th June last.
Tfae circumstances of the case are brief', these:—The prisoner is
a brush maker, and was assisted, by the deceased, at KingslAnd ;
they, on the night of the 7th instant, were drunk and quarrelled,
when he beat her severely about the bead and stomach. She con-
tinued very ill some days after and died. Two meilital Gentlemen
attended her before death, and examined the head aftetwArds, and
found a vessel ruptured, but no marks of violence upon the scalp,
and were of opinion that she died from the effects °flan intemperate
or bad habit—she was continually intoxicated ; no blow certainly
caused her death.

The Juicer, upon hearing this evidence, directed the prisoner's
immediate acquittal.—[Fer the Old Batley proceedings of yesterday,

ON THE DEATH OF

. PT 1. R. PLANCHE. 13Q.

.ER.

Weep !—for the word Is spoken,
Mourn! for the knell bath kaoWd,
The master chord is broken,
Ard the master Sand is cold !
Itotnasee bath but tier minstrel ;
tit; more biaiirgie strain
Shall throw a sweeter spell around
The legends of Almaine !
His Sim bad flown before him,
To many a foreign land ;
His lays were sung by Wry tongue,
And barp'd by very band.
He cams to full fresh limb,
But Fate was in their breath ;
And turned his march of triumph
Into a dirge of death!
Oh, all who knew him loved him!
For, with his mighty mind
He bore himself so meetly,
His heart it was so kind!
His wildly warbling melodies—
The stems that mad them roil,
Are types of the simplicity
And grandeur of his soul!
Though years of ceaseless suffering
Had worn him to a shade,
So patient was his spirit,
Na wayward plaint he made.
E'en Death himself seens'd loth to sear*
His victim pure and mild,
And stole upon him gently,
As slumber o'er a child ! •
Weep ! for the word is spoken, •
Mourn; for the knell had knoWd ;
The master chord is broken ;
The master band is cold!
