Francisco Lopen,, a. Portudenib.saitor, who gate
his evidence by the assistanosWein interpreter, de•
posed, that he knew the prisoner ; they lodged toge-
ther at Roderique's house ; the deceased came into
the room where be(the witness) was, and called for
all the Portuguese to come out to fight. which they
refused, on which the deceased went out. He oorro-
isorated the testimony of the Lost witnen as to the
return of the deceased and his comrades ; and said
that he and the prisoner took a walk to theiondon
Docks ; as they returned home, the deceased followed
them, he and seven more with him ; when the priso-
ner and the witness got to the door (Roderique's),
they could .not get in, as the door was shut ; he saw
the deceased strike the prisoner, on which he (the pri.
soner) ran away. He did not hear the deceased was
stabbed until two hours after.
On his cross-examination, he said, he did not know
only by hearsay that the deceased was the same man
that struck the prisoner.
Mr. Justice HEATH, in addressing the Jury, in-
formed them that murder inferred malice prepense.
The negative of this inference, however, where death
was the consequence, lay on the person accused. If
it could be shewn that a person in the sudden heat of
passion, and from a desire to repel an attack made
on him, had taken away the life of the person so at-
tacking him, it might be fur the Jury to consider if
that was not manslaughter; and if a third party
chanced to come in, during a contest between two
parties engaged in a quarrel, and to fall a victim, in
that case, also, it might only amount to numlaugh.
ter, there being there no malice prepense. But where
an interval had taken place, sufficient to enahlexeason
to gain its proper ascendancy, there the perpetration
of any act by which life was taken away, amounted
to murder. The evidence on the part of the prose-
cution in this case unquestionably supported the full
charge of murder; and, with respect to the evidence
for the prisoner. though it might have varied the case,
yet it was left completely loose as to the identity of
the deceased. He left the case with the Jury. If,
they entertained any rational doubt they would incline
to the side of mercy.
The Jury, after retiring for above half an hour,
found a verdict of Manslaughter.
The trial of Richard GriP, standing charged with
the wilful murder of his wife, was postponed until
this day in consequence of the absence of a material
witness.
