At the late Winchester Assizes, J. Britton, Captain in the West India Rangers, was indicted for the wilful murder of his son, G. Britton, by beating him and kicking him about the body. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner had repeatedly beat his son very violently; and Mr. Powell, a surgeon, had no doubt that the mortification, which was the cause of his death, ensued from the contusions on the back, which were the aggregate of several days' beating. The indictment, however, having stated the deceased to have been kil led on a specific day, when it turned out that he had died of the aggregate ili treatment he had received on several days, and that the chastisement inflicted on him on any one day would not have been sufficient to have caused death, the Judge directed the acquit tal of the prisoner.
