16, lb, and 14, were indicted for feloniously ki ' and
slaying Wm. Bunnlngton, at Chelmsford, 12th
It appeared from the evidence for the
that the prisoners were young gentlemen, the 'IIIN of
very respectable parents en the asighbourhiprid of
Chelmsford. Ce the Ifith of May last, they isad bees
on horseback to Chelikifeed Fair, and in the eveningi
between eight and nine cleleek, they mounted thew
horses for the purpose of returaleg home. Their horses
were rather restive, and set .off at a gallop. In the
easterly pan of the town called Dukastreet, a crowd
of persons had assembled around a drunken man, so as
nearly to block up the way. The prisoners rode through
the crowd with great impetuosity, and after knocking
down one man, who got up again without injury, oas
of the horses came in contact with the deceased, who
fell lifeless on the ground. The prisoners pursued their
road without stopping ; bet it did not appear that they
were conscious of the injury one. One witness stated
, that one of the prisoners, in coming toward the crowd,
called out to make way.
The prisoners being called upon for their defenei,l
delivered a written statement, declaratory of the fin elf
the melancholy accident having been caused by the
ungovernable spirit of the young hones they rode.
Several witnesses were then called, who proved that
the bones which the prisoners bad ridden on the occa-
sion in question, were young and unmanageable. An
Immense number of most respectable witnesses gave
the prisoners the highest possible character for mildness
of manners, and humanity of dispchition.
Mr. Num, charged the Jury, that if the prisoners
bad occasioned the death of the deceased from care-
lessoess, they would be guilty of manslaughter; but
that if death was occasioned by involuntary accident,
they would be entitled to an acquittal.
The Jury deliberated a few Wastes, and head the pelmet

Per Hells was placed at the bar, on an indictment,
charging him with having stolen some sheep, the prom
poly of a labourer, in the month of September, 199 L
The prisoner was arraigned at the Lent Assizes of 1825,
and on that occasion a Jury being empanelled to
the question of his derangement, returned a verdicts'
insanity, in consequence of which his trial was not this
'proceeded on. He was removed to the Lunatic Asyliet
at Plaistow, where he subsequently, by the directioueof
Mr. Secretary Peel, continued until the ad of Jeek M
which time, he being reported by the Doctors of that
establishment to have recovered his sanity, a warrant
was received from the Home Department, *tiering his
transmission to Chelmsford gaol, there to remain until
delivered by due course of law.
The evidence was long and tedious, and dwelt Ow
cipally upon the question of the priaseees derangement.
Those who were called for the proacution were ex-
tremely discrepant in their testimony, and did the case
entirely depend upon it, it might fairly be asked, “ who
shall decide when doctors disagree?" Those who ap-
peared for thedofence were conclusively of opinion that
the prisoner had been insane, and the Secretary, and the
certificate of the Governor of the Plaistow Asylum,left
not a doubt of the question.
The Learned Juooz summed up at considerable
length, end told the Jury that the question they had to
try was, not whether the prisoner was insane at the time
Of his aperthensiOns oe shhaquent, but whether, when
he committed the attics charged in the indictment, be
was labouring under aberration, and was incapable of
knowing right from wrong. —V.rdict, Gaffey.

The Learned Junes told the Jury that it was their
duty to acquit the prisoner. Whether there was or was
not any collusion between the prisoner and the prosecu-
tor it was not fur him to say; if there was 'such collo-
sifts, it was for his Majesty's Attorney-General to
consider if he ought not to proceed against them in
another place.—Acy.
