CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. An inquest was held at the Town Hall, Uttoxeter, before Mr. J. B. Cull (deputy coroner)—on the body of Josiah Brassington (30), Bradley Street, Uttoxeter, whose death is alleged to have been caused by a man named Stephen Udale, jun., who is in custody. The evidence was to the effect that on the 29th ult. Brassington was going down Smithfield Road, where - Udale resides, and he called at Udale's house and asked for a match. Thereupon, it is alleged, Udale, who was the worse for drink, ran out and deliberately kicked Brassington at the bottom of the stomach, to which injuries the later succumbed. It was stated that there was no quarrel between the parties. Mr. T. S. Wilkins appeared for Udale, who had denied having kicked Brassington. He said he merely gave him a push ' and told him to '' hook it.' Dr. Wood stated that death was the result of a blow or kick ; and Dr. T. Bomford, who had made a post-mortem examination, showed that death resulted from injuries received from a blow or kick at the bottom of the stomach.

FATAL QUARREL AT UTTOXETER. Last Saturday evening a man named Thomas Hudson, bricklayer's labourer, received such injuries in a fight as caused his death a few hours afterwards. The deceased had been drinking at the Albion Inn, in company with Stephen Udale, jun., a son of the people with whom deceased lodged, and on going home after closing time a quarrel arose between them, when some blows were exchanged. The quarrel appears to have been renewed in Udale's house, and 11.30 the police were sent for to turn Udale out, he having been abusive to his parents, but the officers did not see Hudson, as he had been put to bed. His condition, however, grew alarming soon afterwards, Dr. C. Bamford was sent for, and it was found that he had received a severe fracture of the ribs, with injuries to the lungs and diaphragm. The deceased swelled very much all over his body, and died soon after four o'clock Sunday morning. Udale was arrested at the honse of his aunt in Pinfold-street, and acknowledged having struck Hudson as they were going home, and also when in the house, but said that it was not he who commenced the quarrel.
ps…..John Hodgkinson was a half brother to Thomas Hudson
