•
CHARGE OF BSI/EDER.

Yesterday, Fikiort Cafachan,- Mary Donovan,
William Donovan, and panel Donovan. were in-
dicted for the wilful murder of Jeremiah Carthy, on
the 20th of July last.
Mr. Jess°, sdressed the Jury on behalf of the
prosecution.
Sarah 'Williams was the first witness called. From
her evidence it appeared, that on the night when the
murder was alleged to have been committed, the
deceased was sitting in the George public-house,
Whitechapel, with two Englishmen, smoking a piper
the prisoners, who are natives of Ireland, were also-
present : the whole were engaged in dancing, and
one of them asked the deceased if he would get titP
ind-dance ? The deceased rose for that purpose,
when he was immediately struck by the prisoner
Callaghan; some persons present persuaded the de-
ceased to sit down again, and he held out his hand
to Callaghan; whilst doing this, he received another
blow from a man named Garvey, who is not yet in'
custody ; the prisoner Mary Donovan then came up,
.and intimated to the deceased that she considered
hint as the bully of the Englishmen. The whole of
the prisoners then, assisted by Garvey, laid hold of
the deceased and dragged him into the yard in
George-court. Witness saw William Garvey attempt
to jump upon the head of the deceased, all the pri-
soners standing by at the time. Witness then went
into her own house, and whilst sitting by the fire-
side her door was broken open by Garvey. Garvey
seized the poker. Witness then observed another
person, of the name of Sylvester Mardyn, kick the
deceased violently; at the same time Garvey struck
him withtthe poker three times. When the deceased
bad got up,. Mary Donovan threw a brick at him.—
Witness did not observe Whether. the brick struck the
deceased, but the last words which he uttered were,
" You have cut me with a brick-bat!" During the.
struggle Mary Donovan procured strong sticks which
she distributed amongst the men, some of whom
beat the deceased with them. The deceased was at
length rescued from his dreadful situation by some
Englishmen, whom his cries called to the s The
prisoners and the rest of their companions t went
away ; witness swore positively that when Garvey
struck the deceased with the poker, Edward Cal-
laghan, Daniel Donovan, and Mary Donovan were
present; she was not certain whether William Do-
novan was present; the deceased then went to a sur-
geon's shop in the neighbourhood.
Some conversation took place respecting the ne-
cessity of producing this surgeon. He could not be
found, and Mr.JESSOP could not account for his ab-
sence. It was at length agreed to call
Partridge, the Parish Constable. Se stated-
that he knew there was a small shop in the neigh:
bourhood of the George, but that he had never been
able to find the surgeon.
William Sell, a surgeon in thehospital to which
the deceased was taken on the 28th July, stated, that
it was evident, from the state of the wound, that it
had been inflicted some days before he saw it.
Sarah Williams was called back and cross-exa-
mined by Mr. BARRY. Her husband is at sea; she
was never prosecuted ; had never been in a Court
before ; was once imprisoned, about five years ago ;
she was two days there; with this single exception,
she had never been in any trouble of the kind. There
might be one or two more men in the public-horse
besides those she had mentioned ; she knew the pri-
soners before the affray; the door of her house was
thirty yards from the George; she saw the deceased
at work a short time after the accident had hap-
pened; he had then a handkerchief tied round his
head ; saw the deceased three or four times before the
prisoners were apprehended.
Margaret M'Carthy was called, but did not appear.
It was then inquired if any one was present who
first saw the wounds of the deceased dressed? but no
witness of that description appeared.
John Fortescue, a butcher, residing in George-yard,
and one of the Englishmen with whom the deceased
was sitting when the outrage commenced, was exa-
mined, touching the particulars. His account dif-
fele&in some respects from that given by Williams.
He described the deceased as_ following him-quietly
into the yard, instead of being dragged out in the
manner described- by the former witness. He ac-
companied the deceased to the doctor's the follow-
ing morning, and saw his wounds- 'dressed. There
was a large fracture on the skull, besides some smaller
bruises ; he was only present at one dressing ; the
large wound had the appearance of having been jam-
med in with a poker ; the doctor who first dressed the
wound has now removed to Princes-street,Spitalfields.
A person was here dispatched in quest of the doctor.
In cross-examination, the witness said, that the pri-
soners went out of the public-house before him, and
that he was followed by Carthy. He believed no
one dragged Carthy, but he could not see behind
him; he could not tell-whether sticks or the poker
were first used, but thought that the poker was ; did
not recollect seeing Mrs Williams there; witness was
desired to look at Mrs. Williams, and he immediately
recognized her as having been in the public-house.
IThe first assault was committed in consequence of
the deceased speaking to the servant girl, when he
was immediately pitched into by two of the prisoners;
witness and deceased drank a pot of beer together
the next day, and the day following that they drank
a quantity of gin and beer. On the Sunday morn-
ing deceased was quite deranged ; did not recollect
whether they then dranktogether; witness persuaded
hini to go to the hospital; witness formerly was a
butcher, but has now retired upon a sufficiency of
325. a week ; had been before a Magistrate for petty
assaults, but was always honourably, acquitted.
In re-examination witness stated, that deceased
grew worse every day, until he went to the Hospital.
When witness saw him on the Sunday he was ex-
ceedingly ill, and said he was sure something was
the matter with-his skulL

Mary M;Carthy was next examined. Sle was.
brought forward to confirm the testimony before
given, but varied from it in many material points.
According to her account the affray was commenced
by the deceased. It. was at length discovered that
she was not the witness called, but was, in point of,
fact, a witness for the prisoners. Her examination)
was then pursued by the Counsel for the prisoners,!
Mr. BAakY.
Witness related some expressions too indecent to

repeat, which she said were made use of by the tie
ceased to the female prisoner.
k was here intimated to.the Court -that..the
Items against the prisoners were prevented. from
coming forward, in consequence.of the threats used
to deter them; Judith Carty, the- *Utter of the de-
ceased, was in consequence interrogated, and stated
that she had been threatened since she came to the
Court. An officer was sent with her into the yard,
and was desired to bring in those persons whom she
pointed out.
.He returned, accompanied by an Irish-
man, who stoutly denied the charge.
The parties were confronted, and a confused scene
of altercation ensued. It appeared at last, that Judith
Canby, had not properly understood the question
put by the Court.
William Robertson deposed to the same circum-
stances as had before been given in evidence. In
cross-examination he said, that when Callaghan first
struck the deceased, he appeared only to push him
out of his, way when dancing.
Julius Nardoff, a German, was nest examined.—
He was the surgeon to whom the deceased went,
after the injury he had received. He examined the
wounds, and they appeared dangerous ; the principal
wound was on the right side of the skull ; there was
.another wound behind his head ; witness probed the
wound, but could not say whether the skull was
fractured ; witness thought at the time this he might
recover with proper care ; more than once during
his attendance the deceased was intoxicated ; the
mond had the appearance of having been inflicted
with a blunt instrument; witness also saw the de-
ceased after his death, and then found that the skull
was fractured.

Cross-examined, by Mr. BARAY.—Deceased was
.drunk when. witness first saw him ; he advised de-
ceased not to work, but deceased attempted to. do so;
told deceased that it would be dangerous if be did
work ; witness did not see the deceased on .the. Sun-
day following, but on the Monday he came without
anx plaster or dressing of any kind ; deceased said
that he could not keep them on ; witness did not then
hear deceased say.that he had met with an accident
the day before.

.When witness first saw diceased,
be thought the wounds so dangerous that he advised
him to apprehend the persons who had ill-used him;
the effect of a blow on the head, like that received
by the deceased, might produce the appearance of
intoxication.

In answer to a question from the Junou—He was
confident. that the appearance of intoxication on the
Monday was the effect of liquor ; when witness saw
the deceased on the Monday his wounds were consi-
derably worse; but this did not appear to be the
result of a fresh injury.
John Green, an apothecary, confirmed the evidence
of the last witness.

William Sell, a surgeon at the London Hospital,
was again called. He recollected the deceased being
brought to the Hospital on the 28th of July ; witness
examined him-; deceased had a large wound on the
head, which appeared to be produced by an obtuse
weapon. The wound appeared to have been inflicted
several days. When witness first saw thewound the
inflammation bad subsided ; the skull was fractured,
but the surface was not depressed ; aninflammation
of the brain ensued in consequence of the violence
of the wound, and that inflammation was the cause of
his death. The head was afterwards opened, and it
was evident that the brain had been injured both by
the inflammation and the pressure of the blow. In-
flammation would be aggravated by intemperance ;
witness thought that in this case intemperance alone
could not have produced theappearance of the brain.
Cron-examined by Mr. BA atty.—The fracture was
small, RO' exceeding the size of a sixpence in dia-
' meter. Witness thought that if the deceased had
been placed under his care at an earlier period, he
might have recovered.
Re examined.—Deceased was seven days in the
Hospital. In his opinion it was not likely-that the
same wound would have caused death in a temperate
man. Deceased was not in a state of intoxication when
he came to the Hospital.
In answer to a question from the JUDGE, witness
said that the inflammation of the brain could not- be
attributed to any other cause than the blow. Had
the deceased continued ever so temperate, after re-
ceiving. the blow, he must have died without surd cal
assistance. The case for the prosecution here closed.'
All the prisoners protested their innocence. On their
behalf Mr. BARRY called the following witnesses :
• Denis Sullivan deposed, that he was at Wheeler's-
buildings, near the public-house, on the night of the
affray. The three male prisoners he described as
coming outof the public-house for the purpose of
going home, when they were followed by the de-
ceased and eight or nine others. The deceased called
after the prisoners, who at first took no notice of him,
when one of hi; companions threw a brick at the pri-
soners. A- battle took place, in which stones and
bricks were promiscuously wed The deceased ani-
mated his party by crying, ,s Go it, my boys r The
next day witness saw the prisoner standing with his
hands in his pockets. •
In cross.examination witness said, that the first
time he saw Mary Donpvan was after the battle.

James Coghlin- stated, that he was in the house at
the time, and that the deceased gave the first offence.

Jeremiah Malony deposed to the same effect. -
Other evidence was offered to shew, that the first
time that the deceased complained of his head was
the Sunday after the accident had happened.
Some witnesses were examined as to character.

After which Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up, and
the Jury found the prisoners Guilty of Manslaughter.

Wednesday afternoon, the Beadle waited on Mr.
SHELTON, the Coroner, with a letter from the Steward
of Guy's Hospital, intimating that a man was brought
;]here that morning,ln consequence of a fall from a
scaffold, and that he died almost immediately after
he came into the Hospital. Mr. S. accordingly
sued his warrant for an Inquest to be holden on the;
body, and the Beadle returned, and summoned a:
Jury. In the interim the man was removed to the
dead-house, but there some. appearances led them to',
believe that life was not extinct ; and to their great,
surprise, after a lapse of a few. hours, animation was
restored, and he was able to identify several of his.
friends who were in attendance to make the necesi
sary preparations for his _burial, in which, to their.
great joy, they were frustrated,
