HEDGE V. PACEY

This was-an action to recover the value of a horse alleged
to have been killed through the negligence of a servant of
the defendant's. The parties all reside in Manchester, and
the circumstances were entirely destitute of interest. The
jury found a verdict for the defendant.
This being the last of the cases in the first or the Salford
Hundred list, with the exception of those to be tried by
special juries, 'Mr. Baron Rolfe proceeded at three o'clock
to the trial of prisoners.
John Travis was indicted for having stabbed a horse, the
property of John Smith Entwisle, Esq., of Foxholes, near
Rochdale, on the 2d of November, 1841. The jury found
the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy, in which
the prosecutor joined. The learned judge sentenced the pri-
soner to one month's imprisonment in Lancaster Castle.

MANSLAUGHTER.
Philip Sampson was indicted for the manslaughter of
William Ireland, on the evening of the 18th of March last,
in Roe-street, in this town.
Dr. Brown appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Sergeant Murphy.
The facts of this case have been so recently published in
the Standard, that there is no necessity to repeat them at
length. The deceased, it will be recollected, bad gone into
the prisoner's public-house, in Roe-street, and offered some
insult to his wife and daughter, in consequence of which the
prisoner struck him violently. The blow caused the de-
ceased's death the day after.
"Mr. Sergeant MURPHY made an eloquent speech to the
jury on behalf of the prisoner; and called Mr. Askew, (south
harbour-master,) Mr. Eastwood, of the Royal Hotel, Mr.
Brown, watchmaker, and Mr. Kirkham, grocer, all of whom
gave the prisoner an excellent character.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but accompanied the
verdict by a recommendation to mercy.
Mr. Sergeant. MURPHY said he could shew his lordship
that the prisoner had received the greatest provocation from
the deceased, -who used the most indecent and disgusting
language towards his wife and diughter.
Mr. Baron ROLFE, in passing sentence, said, the jury had
come to the only conclusion to which they could arrive.
Thete could be no doubt that the deceased had come to his
end by the violence of the prisoner in knocking him down ;
but, at the same time, the circumstances of the case led him
(the learned judge) irresistibly to the conclusion that there
were features in it which, though they could not justify, at
least extenuated his guilt. The reflection, however, that he
had caused the death of a fellow-creature must, if he had a
well-regulated mind at all, be painful to him throughout life;
but, at the same time, he should not pass a sentence upon
him which would degrade him in society. This was not a
case in which that consequence ought to follow ; and he
should content himself with imposing a fine to the Queen of
Five Pounds.
This result elicited loud cheers from all parts of the court.
The money was immediately paid, and the prisoner was
released.
The court adjourned at half-past six, till nine o'clock this

morning
