MANSLAUGHTER

FOR three and a half hours Arthur Charles Hadman,. 34- year-old farm worker accused of his wife's murder, waited beneath the court at Hunting- don Assizes for the jury's 'ver- dict.

Then he was brought back to the dock to hear the jury acquit him of murder but find him guilty of man- 'slaughter.

Mr. Justice Hilbory sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. He had not given evidence.

Quarrel

Mrs. Grace Elizabeth Hadman- she was. 32-was found dead with wounds in the couple's cottage at Chesterton, near Peterborough, following a fire on February 20

The prosecution alleged that there had probably been a quarrel, that Mrs. Hadman had been struck and in falling had fractured her skull,

The defence submitted that If she had fallen through a slight blow on the nose, had struck her head in full- ing, and had died as result of hut. it could not constitute manslaughter.

"Very Bad Case"

Dr. Norman Henderson, medical superintendent of a mental hospital, said evidence that he considered Hadman was subject to epileptic disturbances or a disturbance related to epilepsy.

After the jury had reached its de- efsion Mr. Justice Hilbery told Had- mon! "It was in fact, in my view, u very bad case of manslaughter, I do not take the view at all that this was a case anywhere near the fine of accident."
