some of the neighbours, when the prisoner threw a stone at his
wife, but which struck the deceased, and caused her death in
the course of a few hours. The jury found the prisoner guilty.
but strongly recommended him to mercy on the ground of the
offence being a mere accident. In consideration of the
recommendation and the previous good character of the pri-
soner, he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.

The case of Jackson, the police-officer, who was so seriously
wounded in the late Papist riots, arising out of the Orange
procession, is fixed to be heard before the magistrates on
