M'Lean was convicted by a majority of the jury , but recommended to mercy , and was sentenced to be executed on the 2 nd of February . The memorialists express concurrence with the views of the minority of the jury and submit that it was rather matter of inference than proof that M'Lean struck the fatal blow ; that the deceased and his brother were in all probability the sentemeof death passed upon Peter H'Lean for « j cti . .

      ACCIDENTS AND SUDDEN DEATHS . ' Tub Earl of Harewood , while hunting last Saturday with tho Bramham-moor hounds near Weatherby , was thrown , owing to his horse stumbling , and received so severe a kick on the head from the animal in its efforts to regain its feet , that serious fears were entertained lor his lordship ' s life . He was taken up insensible , and conveyed to Harowood House , where a trepanning operation was performed the following day . No alarming : symptoms have supervened , and it is now hoped that the patient may recover .

      A bricklayer , named James Perry , was killed on the afternoon of Friday week by a fall from a scaffold erected round a long Bhnft or chimney belonging to some promises near tho Mile End Road , Stepnoy . Ho had been drinking rather too freely at his dinner , and , slipping from the . scaffold , fell to tlio ground , a distance of I fifty feet . A compound fracture of tho skull , with othor injuries , caused his death almost immediately after his arrival at tho hospital . Two boats have been lost near the Zetland islands — one containing ten , the other twelve persons . Every soul in each casohaa been drowned . It does not appear that there was any atorm at tho time , or that tho rowers wore at all intoxicated , but catastrophes of tins kind are froquont in those -wild seas .
