The prisoner me ordered to be discharged. George Trice, 26, was charged with the manslaughter of Christian George Lord. Mr. O'Brien prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballwin*.  It appeared that late on the 19th Aug., the prisoner, the deceased, • man named Popestock, and several other person% were drinking in a booth at Maidstone fair, the whole of the party being at the time more or less the worse for liquor. A dispute arose between the prisoner and Popestock, and the prisoner threatened that he would strike him, upon which the deceased interfered and told the prisoner not to strike a man who was old enough to be his father. The deceased was at this time sitting in the bet in the booth, and the moment he made the observation referred to, the prisoner seized him by the legs and threw him over the bar, and he fell with considerable violence upon his head. The deceased complained of numbness immediately, and it was found necessary to remove him to one of the London hospitals, where he died on the Ist of October, and it was then ascertained that he had received an injury to the vertebras of the neck, and this was alleged to be the primary cause of death, the immediate one being dysentery, the result of the injury he had received. It was admitted that it was an injudicious proceeding to remove a man in such a state as the deceased was from Maidstone to London, and that it was calculated to aggravate the symptoms of the malady. Mr. Sallantine, for the defence, said he could not den that the prisoner had been the unhappy cause of the death of the deceased, but he submitted that there had been • drunken quarrel and dispute between the parties, and that the injury had been inflicted in a moment of passion, without the prisoner entertaining the slightest idea that it was likely to be attended by such fatal consequences. Several witnesses were examined, who gave the prisoner an excellent character for humanity and good conduct. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty; and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. U. W. Warman was brought up for judgment in the course of the morning, and sentenced to be transported for  • seven years. William Hams, 23, and Henry Hound, 20, were indicted for the capital offence of shooting at and wounding Edward Earthy, with intent to murder him. Mr. Parry conducted the persecution. The facts of this case have been given very recently. The prosecutor was a police sergeant, of the T division, and on the night of the Bth October, in consequence of receiving information of a highway robbery having been committed at Acton, iu which district he was on duty, he was on the look-out for the thieves, and while going along a lane at East Acton, accompanied by a constable named Bayley, he saw two men with masks on their faces, and, on his attempting to secure them, one of the men, who proved to be the prisoner Round, fired a pistol at him, and wounded him severely in the thigh. Bayley attempted to take the other, when he also drew a pistol, and attempted to discharge it, but it missed fire. This second man turned out to be the prisoner Harris, who was secured upon the spot, but Round contrived to makei his escape, and was not apprehended until the nest day. the jury found the prisoners Gully of the whole charge, and sentence of death was recorded staling them, with an intimation that they would both be transported for life.
