Scorer ' s house ; she opened the door for me ; her head was tied up -with a handkerchief , and the blood Was running down the left side of her head , and neckerchief . The part a little above her elbow was very black .
Cross-examined—When I went to the house , I . found nobody but the old woman inside . I was stiindiug there the whole time . I have known both the prisoners a long time , and do not know anything amiss of them . Re-examined—I did not go up into the chamber ; but she told me there was no person in the house . By the Judge—The house is alone by the roadside . Mr . Wm . Green—I am a fanner at Swinton . Between eight and nine o ' clock on the night in question
I was going from Mexborough to Swinton . When I got as far as Mrs . Scorer ' s , I saw Eastwood leaning against the door , and Hepworth near the house corner . Hepworth showed mo his head , which waa bleeding , and said a man bad struck him over the bead with a gun barrel , which be had in bis band . Outside of the door , I heard Mrs . Scorer crying " murder . " They appeared in liquor . Several persons were standing about the stable , which is forty-yards from the door . I saw James Moody come up—be came almost directly they had crone a war .
Cross-examined—I knew one of the persons standing there . Mri Taylor , an Irishwoman—Hepworth ' s head appeared much injured . Eastwood was quite peaceable . James Moody—I reside at Mexborough . 1 lodged with Mrs . Scorer . I went to my lodgings oa the night in question between eight and nine o'clock , I saw Hepworth about forty yardB from the house . Hepworth lifted up a gun barrel , and asked me if I knew that I said it was a gun barrel , and went on my road . I saw another n ? an , whom 1 did not know , running on the cart-road towards Mexborough . He turned bis bead from me , so that I was not able to see bis face
I then went to Mrs . Scorers ; the old woman was standing in the kitchen . Her head was wrapped up with a handkerchief , and blood was running down bo Id sides of her face . She had nothing on but a bandkerchief . Her apron and cap were laid on the fijer covered -with blood ; the floor was marked in two or three places . She wanU-d me to go for the doctor . She was then complaining of her bead , and said she should not live till lnoroicg . I told her to go to bed , and she would be better in the morning . When I went to bed sbe was resting her head on a round table . Next day she was very ilL Oa the evening previous 1 saw the butt-end of a gun on the house floor ; it Was broken in two near the lock .
Cross-examined—I ltft the house on the Tuesday following . She lived until the Saturday , but she did not go aboot her hou ? eho ! d work . She was not a passionate , hot-tempered woman . I am hot-tempered vrhen in liquor . I have been before the magistrates for thrashing my wife , but she caused me to do it . When 1 left the old woman ' s I want back to mj wife . I never saw boys or children teasing her- Mr . Bliburn was one of the surgeons who attended her . Be-exantined—I know Dr . Woollan—he ia a physician . Ann Brunt—I am the wife of Job Brunt . We reside at the Dun Pottery , near Mrs . Scorer ' s . On the evening in question Mrs . Seorer came to our house , about eight o'clock . Sbe was then bleeding from the hea'l . She n ^ med some persons to me . The next question asked was , who these persons are .
[ This question was objected to , and the objection was held valid . 3 . Before Mrs . Scorer came , a man came for assistance . Cross-examined—She remained at my house about a quarter % ( an hour . I did not know much about her temper . By the Judge—When in my house she cried out very much in pain . Henry Womack—I am a constable at Rothorham , and apprehended Hepworth on the morning of the yth of February , at bis mother ' s house at Mexbro " . I told him he was charged with the murder of Ann Scorer . He said she came ont of the door with a gun in her hand , s man with her with a piece of wood ; I screwed the gun out of feer hand , and Btruck her with it , and
the man struck me over the head . Prisoner showed me the place , and there was a lu ; np on it . I found Eastwood a ' . so at hia father ' s house , at Mc-xbro' . I charged fcim with tae saiie offence , and he said " I nevtr touched her . " I said , " Were you on the premises with Hepworth ? " He ^ piado me no answer . Cross-examined—He said he st-uck her . By the Judge—I am auTe he said struck her u-ilh it . George Marshall—I am deputy-constable of Kotherhain , I acompanied the previous witness to apprehend Eastwood and Hepworth . Jn Hepworth ' s mother's house 1 found a gun barrel . Wi . en Hepworth came down sUire , I shewed it to him , and said , " Di > you know this thing ? " Ha replied , " Vts , that is what 1 struck the old woman with , and I received a violent blow myself at the same time . "
Witness pro luced the barrel and stock found in Mrs . Scorer ' s house . The barrel is bent Cross-examined—Womack waa present during this conversation , and mutt have heard it Be examined—Wouiack was close at band , and might bav < j heard it . Mr . John Otter Blythman—I saw Mrs . Scorer on the 29 : h of January . 1 found a wound on the head about tbree inches long , which had been cut down to the bone , both arms were very much bruised and black , both her knees were also bruised—there was 3 slight discolouration on the eye 3 . She complained of pain in the head , great weakness , and she shivered very much . Her pulse wae low and weak at the time . I continued toatttDdher nntil htr dtath . twice a day . I did the
best for her according to my ability . I first apprehended danger about the filth day . She died on tbe 9 th of February . I afterwards examined tbe body . I first tx ^ mincd the head , and found the cut I have described down to the bone , and the bone itbelf chipped . I removed the bairy scalp , and found otter two bruises —one on the front of her bead , and another more considtrablo btihiud . 1 opened the head , and found on the right side about three ounces of coagulated blood , extending in a line f / oni the outward wound duvrn to the base of the brain . The pressure of the blojd on tke dura mater had produced an indentation of the brain . I attribute her dtath to this circumstance , produced by external violence . The wound was tuch as might have been caused by the end of a gun stock .
Cross-examined—I made a strict examination of the brain , which occupied an hour . A portion of the extravasation of blood would take place at the time the blows were inflicted . My assistant was first called in—he has been a year and a half from a druggist ' s shop . Stupor usually follows oppression of tke brain , but not invariably so . John Wood was called , but hia evidence was corroborative of that formerly given . At the close of tbe case for the prosecution , Mr . Roebuck and Mr . Wilki }< s addressed tbe Jury in eloquent speeches , and called several witnesses who gave tbe prisoners excellent characters as peaceable , inoffensive men . The Learned Judge said the charge of murder was certainly not sustained , and then summed up in inference to tbe charge of manslaughter . ¦
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter against Hepworth , and found Eastwood guily of aiding and abetting . The sentence has not reached us .

Pickard held his arms , whilst Leach felt in prosecutor's watch pocket fer hia watch , but he had not got one . —Not Guilty . MAGISTRATES * ROOM , WKDNESDAT , MARCH 17 . ( Be / ore T . Siarkit , Esq ., Q . C . J POACUIN * . Charles Speight , 34 , Jo ' mlanton , and George Dodton , were indicted for having , on . the 8 th of November , daring tbe hours of night , unlawfully entered certain enclosed lands , tbe property of Chas . Waterton , Esq ., of Walton Hall , in tho occupation of Mr . Wordswortn , at Walton , in tbe West-Biding . jarmed with guns , for the purpose of taking and destroying game . Mr . Monteith and Mr . Pickering appeared for the prosecution ; Mr . Roebuck and Mr . Wilkin * defended tbe prisoners .
On the night mentioned in the indictment tho preserves of tbe prosecutor , who resides near Wakefleld , were entered , between twelve and one o ' clock , by four men , three of whom were armed with guns , and the other n » a with bim a dog and a bludgeon . The head keeper , accompanied by three watchera , was go ' ng his round , and they saw four men in Shay clos * . where , after watching secretly for some time , they sawflpeight go and take up two nets , which were laid against the fence and the gate . On seeing this , tho keeper went towards him . when Speight called out that , if he did not stand off , be would shoot him . Tbe other three
men tbea joined Speight , and were asked by the gamekeeper if their guns were loaded , to which they replied that they were ready for any thing . The men then left the field , daring the watchers to follow them , and presented their guns . The watchers , finding themselves unequal to cope with the poachers , allowed them to escape Speight was well known to the keeper ; but the proof of identity against the others waa very slight—tbey being only spoken to by one of tbe watchers as being amongst the party . Another circumstance against Speight was that , when apprehended at his house the same morning , his clothes were found besides the fireplace quite wet .
In summing up , the Learned Queen ' s Counshl informed the Jury , that , in order to convict , they must be satisfied that the prisoners were all of tbe party , inasmuch as Speight was indicted for having been in the grounds with the otbax prisoners , who had not been satisfactorily identified . The Jury accordingly , under the direction of the Court , returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Charles Speight was then charged , on another indictment , for having committed tbe same offence , together with other persons unknown . The same evidence was adduced , and he was found Guilty , and sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months .
