THE BOTHWELL MANSLAUGHTER CASE. The Attorney-General (Mr Dodds) has had under his consideration the depositions in connection with the case of James Robinson who was committed for trial for manslaughter at the coronal enquiry, held at Bothwell on January 10, touching the death of a resident of that place named Andrew O'Herne, a shoemaker by trade. The two men had been fighting in the taproom of a public-house in the township, and during the scuffle O'Herne fell heavily on the floor, with Robinson on top of him, and sustained injuries from which he succumbed in 20 minutes time. After careful consideration of the case, Mr Dodds decided that the circumstances were not such as would warrant him in filing a bill of manslaughter against Robinson, who will therefore be discharged.
