 The case of Patrick J. Kent for manslaughter was argued yesterday. Meehan was found to have been criminally negligent and to have dis obeyed instructions. He was instructed to run on a side track at Wheatons and to allow the Washington express to pass. Instead of doing this Meehan ran ahead, thinking he could run in on the side track at the other end of the switch man. The flagman had. however, opened the switch and Meehan's engine crashed into caboose in which Younglove was sitting Younglove taken to the Waterbury hos pital, where he died three or four days after. Meehan was indicted of manslaughter in this county.
 Counsel for Meehan made the plea that the New Haven county courts had no jurisdiction over the case because the blow, which caused death, was given in Litchfied county.
 Attorney Coogan said that it made no differ ence where the death occurred the man must be tried in the county where the offense occurred. taa because the death occurred in Waterbury. He | argued that the offence of manslaughter could not have been committed had it not been for the death and that, therefore, as the man died in this county, the accused should be here. Judge Hall took the papers in the case and re- | served his decision.
