He then introduced Mr . John Audrew , who > in a long speech , advocated Ihe principles of Total Abstinence . The meeting was afterivards delighted , and We hope edified by able and animated addresses , delivered by Messrs . Parker , Spsnce , Johnson , Crcaser , and Murray . A few remarks wera a ) so offered by Mr . G .

Epworth and George Eastwood at my mother ' s house , on the night in question , about eight o ' clock ; . they were drinking together . Later in the eveaiDg , I went towards Mra . Scorer ' s house . When near the bouse , I saw Eastwood first * nd Epworta coming up from Mrs . Bcorer ' a door . Eastwood waa at the corner about four or five yard ' s from the door . I asked him what was the matter ; he told me to feel at his head ; I did bo , and it was very bloody . Ee bad a gun barrel in his hand , and s a id , they had struck him with the gun barrel over hb head . After this had passed between us , he went to Mr * Soorer's , and struck the door with the « gun barrel . Shewid " who's there ? " He answered , " never mind

      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 tho house corner . Hepworth showed me his head , which was bleeding , and said a man had struck him over the head with a gun barrel , which he had la his hand . Outside of the door , I heard MrB . Scorer crying " murder . " They appeared in liquor . Several persons wc-re standing sbout the stable , which It forty-yardB from the door . I saw James Moody come up—hi aune almost directly they had gone away .

      Cross-examined—I knew one of the persons standing there . ilrx Taylor , an Irishwoman—Hepworth ' s head appeared much injured . Er . stwood was quite peaceable , James Moody—1 reside at Mexborough . 1 lodged with Mrs . Scorer . I went to my lodgings on the night in question between eight and nine o ' clock . I saw Hepworth about forty yards from the house . Hepworth lifted up a guu barrel , and asked me if I knew that I said it was a gun barrel , and went on my road . I saw another icun , whom I did not know , runningon the cart-road towards Mexborough . lie turned his head from me , bo that I was not able to &ce his face .

      I then went to Mrs . Scorer ' s ; the oM woman was standing in the kitchen . Her bead was wrapped up with & handkerchief , and blocxt was running down both sides of her fees . She had nothing on bat a handkerchief . Her apron and « ap were laid on the fl > er covered with blood , the floor was marked in two or three places . She wanted roe to go for the doctor . She was tben complaining of her head , a n d said s he should not live tni morning . I told her to go to bed , and she would be better in the morning . When I went to bed she wu resting ber head on a round table . Kext day she was very \\\ .

I am hot-tempered when in liquor . J have been before tbe magistrates for thrashing my wife , but , she caused tue to do it . When 1 left the old woman ' s 1 went back to my wife , I never saw h < ys or chi'dre-n leasijig her Mr . Blifcurn was one of the surgeons who attended her . Re-examined—1 know Dr . Woollan—he is a physician . Ann Brunt—I am tho wife of Job Brunt . We reside at the Dun Pottery , near Mrs . Scorer ' s . On the evening in question Mrs . Scorer came to our house , about eight o'clock . She was then bleeding from the head . She named some persons to me , Theuext question asked was , who these persons are .

      [ This question was objected to , and the objtction was held va' . idj Bifore Mr ? . Scorer came , a man cime for assistance . Cross-fxauiiiu 4— She remained at my house about a quarter » f an hcur . I did not know uiuuh about her temper . By the Judge—When in my house she critd out very much in pain . Henry Womack—I am a constable at Itotherba ' . n , and apprehended Hepworth on the morning of the iHli of February , at his mother ' s houso at Mexbro ' . I tolil him he was charged with the murder of Ann Scorer . He mid s ' :: e came out of the door with a gtin in hrr ha n d , a man with htr with a piece of wood ; I screwed the run out of her hand , and htruck her with it , and

      the man struck me over the bead . Prisoner showed mp the place , and there was a lump on it . I found E-stwoo-i a ' so at his father ' s house , at Mtxbro " . I charged him with the Batne ofleaoo , a n d h o said " never touched her . " I eaid , " Were yt-u on the premises with Ht _ p worth V He made me vtu acswci . Crops-txamined—Be said he Et ' . uek her . By the Jcdge—I am sure he said struck her with it . George . Marshall—1 am dtputy-constable of Kotlierhani . I acouipanied the previous witness to apj rebend Eastwood and Hepworth . In Hepworth's mother's house I found a gim barrel . When Hepworth canio down stiirs , I showed it to him , an d eaid , " Do you know this thing ? " He replied , ¦• Yes , thut is whiit 1 struck the old woman with , and 1 received a violent Wow myself at the same time . "

      Witness produced the barrel and stock found in Mrs . Scorer ' s bouse . The barrel 5 b bent Cross-examined—Womack was present during thii conversation , and must have heard it Re-examined—Womack was close at hand , and might have heard it . Mr . John Otter Biythman—I saw Mrs Scorer on the 29 th of January . 1 found a wound on the head about three inches long , which had betn cut down to the bone , both arms were very much bruised and black , both her kne e s were also bruised—there was a slight discolouration on the eyts . She complained of pain in the head , great weakness , and she shivered very much Her pulse was low and weak at the time . I continued to atund her until her dtatb , twice a day . I did the

      best for her according to my ability . I first appreliended dangsr about the fifth day . She died on the Sth of February . 1 afterwards examined the body . I first txamintd the head , and fonntl the cut I have described down to the bane , and the bone itself chipped . I removed the hairy scalp , and found other two bruises —one on the front of her head , and another more considerable behind . I opened the bead , and found on the right side about three ounces of coagulated blood , extending in a lino f / om Jhe outward wound down to the l * se of the brain . The pressure of tbe blo . Kl on the dura matar had produced an indentation of the brain . I attribute ber death to this circumstance , produced by external violence . The wound was such 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 txtravasation of biood would take place at the time the blows were inflicted . My assistant was first called in—he has keen a year and a half from a druggist ' s ahop . Stupor usually follows oppression of tke brain , but not iuvariably so . John Wood was called , but his evidence was corroborativ * ef that formerly given . At th « close of the case for the prosecution , Mr . Roebvck and Mr . Wilkixs addressed the Jarj in eloquent speeches , and called several witnesses who gave the prisoners excellent characters as peaceable , inoffensive men . The Learned Judge said the charge of mnrder was certainly not sustained , and tben summed up in reference to the charge of manslaughter .

      The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter against Hepworth , and fonnd Eastwood gaily of aiding and abetting . The sentence has not reached us .

      men then joined Speight , and were asked by the gamekeeper if their guns wera loaded , to which they replied that they were ready for anything . 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 . S pei ght was well known to the keeper ; but the proof of Utagity against the others waa very slight—they beins ^ mly spoken to by one of the watchers as being amongst the party .
