ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY A BOY At the Nottingham assizes on Monday, before Mr Baron BRAMWELL, William Henry WREN, 13 years of age, was charged with the manslaughter of Henry RIGLEY, a boy aged five years, at Beeston near Nottingham on 13th June last. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and deceased were playing near to Mr WATSONs silk mill early in June. After they had been so for some time, prisoner seized hold of RIGLEY, and held him over a grating through which steam was issuing very strongly. The boy was scalded to a serious extent, and although every means were adopted to alleviate his suffering, he died on the day above named. Mr BRISTOWE, who appeared for the defence, appealed to his lordship as to whether the case should go to the jury, as there was an absence of any malicious intent on the part of the prisoner. His Lordship said it was a proper case for the jury to consider, and if the prisoner had been over 14 years of age it would have been their duty to return a verdict of manslaughter, as it was held by the law that a person committing an unlawful act from which death ensured was guilty of manslaughter. It had been stated for the defence that the prisoner merely pushed deceased onto the steam grating, while the prosecution said he held him over it. It was for them to say which they believed. The jury acquitted the prisoner.
