He would first call Mr ! Bacon , the master ofthe deceased . Mr Ba « ok deposed that tfa the 4 th of August Inst deceased had a ttended the _uotniaatioa of the county members till twelve , and bed thm worked at his shop from twelve to a quarter p » sfrfour in the afternoon .

Deceased was perfectly sober , nnd on leaving the post-office went in the direction of Wcstgato . _Elizabeth _Robinson—Livis in Westgatc . Saw Dodson at some minuteB past six , on the evening in question , coming slowly up Ihe street . He did uot lock _flushed nor hot . Not like a man who had been in a crowd .

The _maj ; i & trate » cltik in taking this and the previous depositions , when called on by Mr E .

Mr _Jom-s made him re-writo the _depo'itious correctly .

Could sec _wh-Jt passed plainly . Saw Sharpe returning from the lock-up , Cross run away , and Sharp puriuc . Some people _followed , but the bulk of the crowd wero not close upon Sh . rpe . There was no lighting . Sharpe lift rff pursuing Cro & s , turned round , and instantly struck Dodson . Knew Dodson by sight . Dodson was quiet , hud neither stick nor stone in his hand , and was not attacking or striking Sliarpe , nor nny one else , No one tried to obstruct Sharpe . Thc blow was a vio _< _li-nt one—witness heard the blow ten yards off .
By Mr Staniland—Two stones were thrown—not at Sharpe . They were _thrown by a man _nnmsd Chambrrlaine at a nftm named Ciipsihani , Did not see where Sharpe was at tbe time , but had he been near Clipsham must have seen him Tho stones where thrown somewhere near tke time Sbarpe struck Dodson , but cannot _s » y whether some time bsfore cr some time after . One of the stoms hit Clipsham on thc heel—he turned round and said something in nn angry tone . Clipsham , the previous witness , was then called in , and identified by witness . _Sahau Ann Gjiiuben— ( By Mr Jones )—Clipsham mav not have noticed the stone . Didn ' t hear what he said when he turned round . The crowd were orderly . No encouragement was given to Cross .
Eliza Hansos—Is in the service of Mr Benjamin Snow . Wns at thc kitchen window about half after iix o ' clock on the evening of the nomination day . Heard no disturbance before going to window . Saw Sfcarpe running after Cross , wbo escaped . Sharpe then crossed thc road aud struck D _jdson . Sharpe went out of his way to strike Dodson . Saw no reason for striking him , since he wns perfectly peaceable . Dodson had nothing in his hand . Sharpe aimed at his head with a constable ' s stuff , S _* w no stones thrown . Must have seen if any had been thrown at that time . No one was interfering w ' ith Sharpo —must have seen if they _h-.-d . _Dobson appeared Retting out of Sharpe ' s way as quickly as he could . Sharpe collared Dod ' . otv after he had _struck him down _.
t > y Mr Staniland—Kitchen is on the ground floor . A good many people were about , but not enough to prevent her seeing . The people v . cru peaceable . Had been examinod before coroner . Had toid him the people were not very _po-ictable . Didn ' t hear ihe crowd abetting Cross in the least . By Mr Jones—Would call a crowd * peaceable' if they committed no violence . Would say tbey were not' very ' peaceable if they were calling and shouting . The _eroud were committing no violence . The crowd were shouting . From where sbe stood to where Dodson was struck is about three yards . Her hi ad was high enough above the level of the road to see all that passed _. The Investigation having now lasted , without intermission , from ten o ' clock in the morning until nearly _eirfht o ' clock , r m _., thc Bench , understanding Mr Jones had still mere witnesses to call , adjourned tbe court until tho Tuesday _folioA-imr , at eleven .
Tuesday . —Mr , E . _Josis said , thc eriScnec he had adduced being so very char and satisfactory , be bad resolved , on carefully going through the deposition-, not to take up their worships' timo by calling _witnesses in _carroborntion , although-be had several in attendance , and would merely examine one more , —one of the two medical gentlemen who attended the deceased after tho blowhad been struck . Mr _ItAirii Coulsox—Is a surgeon residing at Sleaford —saw tho wound—was called in about _twcii'y _mimttrs beforo Dodson ' s death . The wound was ou the side of thc head ; tho direction forward and downward , higher behind than before ; it must have been a very heavy blow . To inflict such a wound , it must have been
necessary to stand parallel or a little lii-hiu-l . The blow I must have come with _considerable force to fracture tho [ skull in such a manner . The blow was such as a constable's staff might indict . He should say the bead had been hit by the paint of a constable ' s staff . The blow « _as decidedly the cause of death ; though if tbe deceased had b » i n seen earlier by a medical man , it is possible thc consequences might hare been somewhat different- tut it is impossible to say . Mr Bedford was called iu _before witness ; but no blame attached to Mr Bedford , as tke dangerous symptoms were not thin apparent . The skull was fractured , which was _discovered by a _^ £ _morto examination . Dodson ' s death was caused by the blow from which ensued compression of the brain , and _ron-e q « ent extravasation of blood . The blow was t ' d vtTun , A becaus ! ,. V mver _^ _" » _W * d _&« v « e skull . As a medical man , it was the _opiu-on of witr . _« 8 that the blow was aimed at the head
, { u r _^ _""w-Dou _' _s thiuk it possible the blow couh ? have been aimed at the shoulders . This Closed tho case for the prosecution . Mr _S- i _' ANiLAND then addressed the bsnch in behalf of hii client , staling tbat he could prove that Sharpe was assailed , _thh't Dodson wus conspicuous in thc disturbauce at the _ui'Utol Arms , and subsequently , —tbat he attempted to ret' « _"e Cross , and that tha _suporintendait , _being struck on th _'« shoulder , turned round ond _ttiwk in self-defence—aia'big at the sbtuldw .

'Was never punished for an _i-ffence ng : u ' n « t the laws . Was not dismissed tke _forco with ignominy . Mr Chaplin here asked how many more witnesses there were to _esainine , and hoped Mr Jones would not address the bench , as in that case . Mr Staniland saying he had but a few- moro witnesses , they could get througb tho case that day . Mr Stani land should decidedl y object to Mr JoneB _addressiuK the beach . Mr E . Jones said he claimed the privilege as necessary for thc full understanding of the case , owing to the extraordinary manner in which the evidence had beea taken hy thc magistrates' clerk .

It is all very well for Mr Jones , who gets paid for his time and trouble , hut we work gratuitously . Mr E .

Sharpe , when witness saw him at lock-up , seemed calm and collected . Did _Jiot-seim lo be _druafc , but did not particularly notice , as witness ' s _attention was directed to the wound . The Magistrates C ;* rk having omitted to write thc last portion of the paragraph , Mr E . Jones demanded its insertion .

Mr Aiux , one of the senior _magisrr _. _i Jrs ca the beacb , entirely coincided with Mi Jones ' s remarks .
