at the earns is unknown se the
monks of all the three He.:ishes wear
shard by their peahen in the primate'
duck, and the only amount of the affair
is its eummeseement. is derived from
the testimony of the two, limas boys,
John and Geer**, who,, is addition to
contradicting materially their evidence
.e given before the coroner, were evident-
ly determined to remember nuthing that
could by auy chance help the prisoners.
They were compelled to admit, however,
that old Mr. th.uu.h's efforts were Gar
pesos They stated that upon coming
upon the ground, Henry Beamuh, who
had pulled off his coat while walking. at
once trade a violentlht& upon hiatus,
their (slier, striking horn, and theu
clinching, and throwing him violently
upon the road, afterwards, while be was
on the ground, beateng and kicking him
in the side. on the other hand, young
Wiliie tiealniah who was watching affair
hots his father's gate, and who was at
least as credible, one would thio", as the
Mains boys, and who gave his testimony
in a much more straightforward mauner,
says that after Henry and Thomas reach-
ed the corner they halted, thea old Mr.
Mains passed over to his son John, to
whom he apparently spoke, while Henry
liemmiah took off his cwt and placed it
on the fence and returned towards the
real, where he stood still, until Mains
ma le a rush at him, and the struggle be-
gan. One would imagine on this evi-
dence. and keeping in mind Henry's
peaceableness and Mains' character for
passion and violenoe, that the fair infer-
ence is that Mains was here, as he bad
been ,u the Sunday before, the ag-
gressor. It is probably of little cotas-
quence legally which of ,hem struck
tint, but it certainly has an important
Learing upon the mural aspect of the
ase. Henry proved too much fur poor
)Line, and beyond ouestion punished
him most severely, perhaps to the extent
of causing his death, although the medi-
cal evidence was by no means conclusive
on this point. Had Henry simply given
Mains a sound thrashing the popular
verdict would undoubtedly have been
that a bu'ly hal simply got his
deserts. There can not bo the slightest
doubt that that was all Henry intended.
Excited to violent passion by Mains'
oondu t, he went further than we, calmly
criticising his conduct, think was neces-
sary, and in kicking him was onquesti..u-
ably guilty of gross violence, if not of
brutality. But even for this violence
there was some excuse. There were upon
the ground three able-bodied members
of the Mans family. George was already
sneezed in a fight with Thomas Beamish,
while John armed with a club was run-
ning between the fighting couples. Old
Mr. Beamish apparently stood guard
over hs son Henry and Mains, and pre-
vented John's interference with his stick.
Old Mr. Beamish is an invalid, far gone
in consumption, and was physically un-
able t.. protect himself,much lessto;iasist
his son in case Mains got the better of
him, as appeared not improbable. Henry
knew of Mains habitual violence, that
he would likely stick st nothing to coo -
quer, and in this idea, no doubt was
more violent than he would have been
had the circumstances been otherwise.
Had Maim got the better of Henry
Beamish, it is quite 'possible their posi-
tions would have been reversed. It
would probably then have been Heury's
funeral and Mains trial. That Hoary
really intended to do no more than he
considered necessary to conquer Mains,
is shown by his offer to let him op when
he said he would behave himself, and
the request to the Maim boys to take
their father sway after he had let him
op, when Maim insisted on resuming
the fight After letting him up Henry
was again twice attacked by 31ains, the
time with a stick, with which
Maim "truce at him. Each trine Maims
was repulsed with more or less violence,
and finally h3 walked off and threw his-
.elf or fell upon the emend, from which
he eras raised and carried home, and died
the same night, from, as the doctors
found on a past at ort oa examination,
compression on the brain, ousel by a
clot of Woad. His skull was not fractur-
ed. Some of his nbs were broken, but
none of his several wounds were, as the
medial evidence showed, necessarily
fatal, although the medical gentlemen,
Des. Sloan and Young, called by the
crown, gave it as their opinion that an
artery had been ruptured, (dosing the
clot), by the external violence to the
head. Dr. Holmes, on the contrary,
called for the priameers. was inclined to
the epi , from the absence of fracture
of the skull and the position of the dee,
(which was found between the dura

and the basin), that it esu the result of
bleeding from internal cauwe,induced by
great physical exertion anal mental ex-

FRIDAY, OCT. Sae, 1884.
THE BEAMI4II TRIAL.
Trials for murder are fortunately rare,
more rare perhaps that might be expect-
ed in this large mad populous county.
It is no wonder, therdure, that the recent
trial of James Beamish and his two sons,
Henry and Manasseh, for the murder of
Wtllian: Mains, last May, near the vil-
lage of Blyth, should have greatly ex-
cited local attention. On Monday last,
after • trial extending nearly four days,
the jury rendered a verdict of man-
slaughter againat all three, but recom-
mended Manasseh to mercy, and the
sentences imposed by his lordship,
Chief Justice V ibun, were, twenty years
in the penitentiary to the father and
Henry, and five years to Manasseh.
Of course, it is highly desirable in the
interest of society, that crime should
be rigorously punished, and peace and
Komi order maintained, but it is also de-
sirable, if the lesson is to be effective,
that publicsentiment 'boatel approve of
the conclusion reached and the punish-
ment imposed. Unfortunately, in the
present instance there is a general feel-
ing, now that all the facts are known,
that injustice has been dome to the pri.-
oners,-that, in fact, whatever may be
the legal measure of their guilt. their
sentences were, at all events, touch more
severe than the circumstances war-
rantee.
The leading facts as detailed in evi-
dence appear to be as foll•ew.: On
Saturday evening, the 24th May last, e
quarrel about some trifling wetter acne
between young Thomas Manasseh Beam-
ish and George Mains, a ion of the de-
ceased, William Maim, but no Wows
were struck, although much loud, and,
no doubt. silly talk was indulged in.
George appears to hare reported the cir-
cumstance to his father on the following
Sunday morning. Maim who was a
hasty. violent man, much given to quar-
reling. on the rune day, in company
with his son George, sought out young
Bearish, who, with some companions
woe speeding his Sunday afternoon in
the neighborhood of a emaetery a short
distance from the Mains residence, and
after a word or two about the previous
evening's squabble, Maine caught Beam-
ish, who at the time was lyintg upon the
grass, by the throat, and a tight ensued,
wholly of Mains seeking. In the course
of this fight, Maim procured a stout
beech club, with which 'no tried to strike
Beamish over the head. They were
separated, and Mains before leaving for
home, declared he would have revenge
before the sun went down, or before
Beamish went to his work on Monday
morning. Shortly afterwards young
Beamish with a companion started for
home. Their way led them past the
Maim residence, but on approaching it
they raw Maim and his sun G. rge,com-
ing toward them with sticks in their
hands. Upon seeing this, Beamish and
his friend left the public rosd,and reach-
ed bane by Fawley thr,ugb the fields.
Having reeasil hune,young Beat iii i!
formed his lnotber Henry of what had
taken place. Henry is stated on all
hands to have been a quiet and well be-
haved young man.' Liter in the after-
noon, Henry aid Thomas, with a young
men called Tanen, walked down to-
wards Blyth, some 00 rods from the
Beamish residence, and in the direction
of the Maim residence. When at the
corner of the Clinton road et its junction
with the {crewel read leading to Blyth,
they saw Maim and his sou George come
from his house to the Clinton road,
where he called Henry to him and pro-
posed to fight at once, but Henry ob
jested. Maim then said "Meet us to-
morrow at this corner at half -past six,
and it my two boys can't sick you two
(Henry and Manasseh f'lldrown them."
Whether Henry accepted or declined the
challenge, was not clearly proved, but it
appears to hays been menmed that he
aseepted. Next wonting by about half -

Laid. Against Thomas Beamish there
was not particle of *videooe that he is
say way aasated in the psni.hinest of
Maine On the ooelrsey, he was eapR-
ed throughout in defending himeelf, not
too •scoeaafully, against the attacks of
George Mains, who was much more than
his match in sire an.! weight.
The evidence for the crown was Riven
by winterises all of whom, who were able
to speak of the actual uc:urreuce, were
more or lees hostile to the Y,eamishee
Before the trial began, the prisoners'
coua..l asked t, have them tried sepa-
rately, they harlot been jointly indict-
ed, and thus prevented from giving
evidence the one for the other. This
was refused and the court, therefore,
had no account of the affair from the
Beamish standpoint, except the evidence
of Wllhe Beamish, who was not present
at the beginning, although he saw the
parties at • distauoe.
In the learned judge's charge to the
jury, to which we, in company with many
others, listened with close attention, we
failed to find any reference to the cir-
cumstances of extenuation which, we
think, were proved He practically as-
sumed the guilt of the prisoners as estab-
lished beyond reasonablequestton. With
his definitions of the law applicable to
the ase, chiefly among which was his
statement, that all parties to a challenge
tight are equally guilty 'which should
have included the Mains' boys as well as
the Beamiehes) in case loath should un-
expectedly result, we have no intention
of findiug fault in this article. Un-
doubtedly the law wan correctly defined.
but we must most respectfully subunit
that it WAS a question f..r the jury, and
not by any means clearly proved, wheth-
er there bad been an accepted challenge.
Again, if there was a challenge in fact, 1
who were the parties to it 1 Was the '
challenge that Mains and Henry Beam-
ish should fight, or that the two )Lina l
boys should fight the two Beamishes. If
the latter, then the challenge fight was
not fought at all. At a;1 events, it was
apparent that the elder Beamish had no
pan in the challenge. He had gone
upon the ground to make peace, and
then suddenly found himself involved in
a fight, at least as much through the
fault of Maim as of his own son. Then,
we think it might have been expected
that some reference would have been
made to the provocation by Mains, and
the responsibility for the origin of the
affair placed upon the proper shoulders.
To say ncthiog of the doubt created by
the medical evidence a to the souse of
death, it would surely have been no ex -
ems of favoritism to the prisoners to
have directed the attention of the jury
to the second and third renewals of the
fight by Maim, and to have asked wheth-
er in doing what he did, Henry did more
than was necessary to defend himself.
In fine,without going through the charge
which was throughout • powerful presen-
tation of the ace in the strongest light
against the prisoners, it is sufficient to
.ay thee% it practically left no alternative
to the jury, if they were to regard it at
all, but to bring in a verdict of murder
againet all three prisoner& The jury
mercifully decided to all it manslaught-
er, and the sentences before referred to
were imposed, instead of hanging, as
must have been the cue had the verdict
been for murder.
Thus, through the quarrelsomeness of
Malas, for he Tenafly was the cause of
the whole affair, two families have been
bereft. To the elder Beamish a few
years more or len its his sentence can be
of little consequence. His dread disease
will release him long before the term ex-
pires, if he even lives to get to Kingston.
Wbsm Henry now aged 23 emerges to
]resole his life, a free man once more, he
will have reached middle a- e, while
just entering manhood, and who
mainly struck no blow contributing to
the death of poor Mains, will carry with
him --with a feeling of its injustice -the
felon's yoke through life. Before the
event the Beamish family was highly
respectable, as much sow any in the
towaahip. Henry particularly, was
sober, initiations, and exemplary in
every respect.
While every one mud feel pity for the
unfortunate end of the man who lost bis
life, and particularly for bis poor widow
and fatherless children, it is not emelt to
be wondered at that public sympathy, in
view of all the facts, u at present strong-
ly with the Beamiahes, and that while
wishing by all means to uphold the stronv
arm of the law, there am many who
think that lighter, -meds lighter, eoa-
toeles.---would have better vindicated
!anis and satisfied the psWio cooesiewoe.

THE SCOTT ACT.
The Vote in Huron Fixed for
Thursday, Oct. 90th.
Next tuurniug punctually at 6:30
o'clock Wm. Mona and his sons took up
positiou on the road that Thomas Man-
asseh Beamish had to pass on the way to
his work. William Hans had already
promised him "a d—d ,good hiding
before he went to his work,"and wad there
with his two buys, apparently ready to
keep his word. The facts of what fol-
lowed are given in theeridence. Thomas
Manasseh starts on his way to his work.
and, fearing trouhle, his brother acoom-
pauies him. Wheu they iueel the
Mlains, who UV on the ground with hos-
tile intent, a double tight ensues, Henry
James Beamish and Wm. Maim oppose
one another, and George Mains and
Thomas Manasseh Beamish grapple and
tight. In the struggle with Gone
Mains, Thomas Manasseh receives the
heavier punishment, and is worsted a
second time by the person who attacked
him. During the fight between Henry
James Bcemish and William Maim,
'Phomas Manasseh has had no chance to
take part in the struggle -his whole at -
I tention is directed to taking are of him-
self. N. evidence u produced to show
that he has been the aggressor in any
instance. Everything goes to prove that
he has been the aggrieved party. He
is quietly sitting by the roadside with
some companions en Sunday when he is
I attacked byWilliam MLma, and driven
away. He is going to his work at 7
o'clock on Mcnday,and is again attacked
by a party that has been waiting on the
rued from G:30 to gine him "a d—d
good hiding" before he goes to work.
In the emend instance he gets the worst
of the fight -another fight that was nut
of his own seeking. He takes no act or
part in the fight between his brother and
Wm. Mains, and yet an intelligent jury
find a verdict for manslaughter against
Thomas Manasseh Beamish, and a merci
ful judge sentences hien to the penitern
nary for five years, without tea slightest
compunctiun.
The jury were constrained to bring in a
verdict of manslaughter against Thomas
Manasseh Beamish, evidently, owing to
the fact that the Chief Justice, in his
charge. had said that when there was a
challenged fight, and one of the princi
pads was killed, the aeoonders on either
side -yes, and even the spectators of the
fight -were alike guilty with the person
who had committed the act. This direc-
tion to the jury may be very good law,bot
it certainly is not good sense. If the
crown were to have takenaction from the
opinion of his lordship, John and George
Maine ab•,uld here bean in the prisoner's
box for the killing of their fat:ser, and
Mrs. Maim should have been indicted
for the death of her husband, for these
persons were present at the unfortunate
oeeurnence, and were eojniant of the
object of the meeting. Yet is there a
sane juror in the world that would bring
in a verdict against them people for the
killing of William Mains 1 We don't

tions front the court,* verdict was retort'.
ed against Thomas Manasseh Beamish,
who was as guiltless of the blood of Wm.
Mates as was any one of the Maim family
who was present at the affray.
The shore is the st..ry of Thomas Man-
umit Bsamish's maneetioe with the
killing of William Maim. He had a
perfect right to proceed to his work on
Monday morning, and to pa.e along the
road where the Mains were waiting to
obstruct hint. He did not go not of his
way to meet the Mains family, bat they
pet themselves ia the way to waylay
him. He had no set or part in the
straggle with William Maim on Monday
morning, and is as innocent of blund-
gailtiress in this case. as was any one in
the sweet -room who listened to the trial.
