ALLEGED MURDER NEAR MANCHESTER. Alfred
Ogden, (about 30,) silk weaver, was indicted for the wilful
murder of James Kershaw, at Chadderton, near Man-
chester. Mr. Monk for the prosecution. Mr. Tindal
Atkinson defended the prisoner. The case was briefly
this :—On the night of the 30th November, the deceased
left his home, stating that he was going to, attend a
lecture. He did not return home, and his body was found
in a canal near his own house. It appeared that instead
of going to the lecture he went to the prisoner's house,
and tapped at the window, having an attachment for one
of his sisters. The prisoner went out to see who had tap-
ped at the window, and he overtook the deceased, who was
running away. A struggle took place between them, and
the deceased was never again seen alive. When the pri-
soner returned to his house, almost immediately after he
had left, he said to his sister,—" I overtook him, and we
had a struggle. He left his watch and cap in my hand,
and I called him back, bnt he would not come." On the
following day the prisoner went to the deceased's house,
and after telling his mother what had happened, he gave
up the watch and cap. As the deceased had not returned
home, search was made, and his body was discovered as
stated. His Lordship told the jury that there was not the
slightest evidence to connect the prisoner with the apparent
murder of the deceased, and the prisoner was accordingly
acquitted.
MANSLAUGHTER AT LIVERPOOL. —James Malone, 44,
seaman's boardinghouse-keeper, Maghull-street, in this
town, was indicted for the manslaughter of John Brothers,
a seaman. Mr. Blair prosecuted, and the prisoner was de-
fended by Mr. Monk and Mr. Aspinall. The deceased, in a
state of intoxication, went to the prisoner's house, and used
very abusive language, creating a great disturbance in the
street. He was turned out of the house, and desired to go
away twice, but he persisted, and threw stones against the
windows. The prisoner pushed him down the steps into
the street, and afterwards came round from the back of
the house, and a scuffle ensued, hi which the deceased was
believed to have received a blow which knocked him down.
He was taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died next
afternoon. Mr. Rayston, house surgeon of that institu-
tion, said the cause of death was effusion of blood on the
brain, which was more likely to have been caused by a fall
than a blow. Several witnesse" "fated that the deceased
fell against the iron railing of t. prisoner's house ; and,
at his Lordship's direaiou, the j ary acquitted the prisoner.
