MANSLAUGHTER IN MANCHESTER.—A- hawker and a
fish-dealer having quarrelled in the fish-market at Man-
chester, they had two fights. In the second encounter
Watson, the dealer was knocked down, his antagonist,
Bradley, falling on him. Peter Swift, a young man in
Watson's service, seeing his master worsted, struck Brad-
ley a violent blow on the forehead; the man fell senseless,
and in a few minutes he was dead. Watson and Swift
were committed for trial at the assizes, on a charge of
manslaughter.

A SPECIMEN OP WOMANKIND.—The relieving-officer
of Warrington last week reported a distressing case of
fever, and the disgraceful conduct of a wife towards her
husband. He said he had been called upon to visit a case
of fever, on Cockhedge, and, on going to the cottage,
he found the inmates, consisting of a man, his wife, and
two men lodgers ; the husband and one of the lodgers
were ill of a fever; and, to prevent strangers from being
taken into the house to lodge, he wrote on the door, in
large characters, with a piece of chalk, "there is fever in
this house." He then gave the wife relief, until he made
arrangements to remove the patients. On his next visit,
which was the following day, he found that the wife had
`,sconded that mom' with t► -,ther - 1 had

a the other lodger, anL
left her husband in a deplorable condition, when he rt
moved him at once to the hospital.
