Yesterday Benjamin GVord was indicted for mnr. • der►Att: P.►tru, k Doyle, m the parish of Poplar, on 'the'2stb of August last. From the evidence it appeared, th.,t Poplar and the neighbourhood were kept the whole day in a state of continued riot, and it became necessary to call nu; even the military to restore or ler. The deeased and ,the prisoner had several battles in the course of the day, and they were seen to renew them at different times in the course of the eveuing, and were separated by the watchmen. One of the watchmen, in patticular, remonstrated With the prisoner upon the impropriety of his conduct, and told him it was useless to pretend to be drunk when he was nor, adding —" I have seen enough of your drunkenness."  Mr. Peele, a Surgeon, stated, that he was called to examine the deceased, and he found life entirely gone, which he supposed m have been occasioned by a wound which the deceased received upon the left breast, and extended to his heart. The knife now produced would have inflicted such a wound, as the size of the knif, and wound exactly corresponded. Another watchman deposed, that the prisoner came to the watch-house in the evening, and said he bad got out of a row by jumping over hedges and ditches, and lie left his hat and jacket with a Mrs. Ford. The witness was then induced to walk over the ground which the deceased would take on his way home, and he found him dead. Henry•klamstead, a watchman, searched the prisoner': lodgings, as well as his person, and found a L• rge clasp-11.de, (that produced in Court) which had every appearance of being newly scoured, either in sand or in earth. The evidence having here finished, .the Learned Judge observed, that the verdict could only amount to manslaughter, and he did not think the evidence sufficient even to warrant that, because there was no proof of the prisoner having caused the death of the deceated. Verdict—Not guilty. Sarah Bennett was indicted for having murdered her bastard child on the 29th of August last. Two Surgeons, who examined the corpse of the child, baying deposed, that its death might have occurred in the birth, the Jury, under the direction of Mr ins tice BAILST, acquitted the prisoner. Tema: Haig was indicted for the murder of his wife, by cruelly beating and kicking her in different parts of the body. • Sarah Cox deposed, that on a Monday morning she unversed with the deceased, and was shewn the mark of a violent blow on the breast, and a wound in her ' arm ; there was no mark of violence on her head.— Witness saw her on Tuesday, when she pointed to her breast, and told her she had got the fatal bane there ; on the Wednesday she died. Two respectable Surgeons were then sworn, and they deposed that the blows were not the cause of the deceased's death, but that it was occasioned by a , considerable quantity of blood and serum which had collected in the ventricles of the brain. The Jury then returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. J. Jo/uuon, for stealing two pair of shoes, the pro. • perry of W. Grey, privately in his shop ; and J.
