Committed for Manslaughter After Autopsy Findings
In the London hospital case a pupil testified that the deceased died from a ruptured intestine caused by external violence. A fall or knee pressure could have produced the rupture. The prisoner offered no defense and was committed to Newgate for trial on the charge of manslaughter. In a separate Thames report Henry Lawrence, drunken seaman, attacked a police constable during a disturbance in Shadwell. He denied memory of the event, apologized, and was sentenced to one month in prison.
