Hodgetts thereupon drew a tag, or long iron rod, out of the furnace where it was being heated in readiness for welding and without saying anything, threw it townrds Pitcock, but not directly at himl The tag was red hot at one end for about eighteen inches. Pitcock was evidently frightened and tried to avoid the missile. He moved about a yard, but got in the way of the tag, which wH.ik.ss thought would have missed him if he had stood still. The red-hot end of the iron struck Jtlni underneath the right arm, and went into his side. Witness ran and caught him as he fell. Piteock's shirt was set on lire, but witness extinguished tim flames and pulled out the tag. Pitcock had then collapsed and did not speak.

He and Pitcoek had been on the best of terms, and h.-.d shared their "imp" in 1 he dinner hour. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Hodgetts, who was committed to the next Staffordshire AsChrr distinctions do not lie in the. places whicli we occupy, lint in the uracu and dignilv with which wo fill tJicm.
