Enoch Dix was sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude.

[William Walker, a gamekeeper on the Earl of Templar's Estate, was shot at midnight on October 11th by poachers. Walker, accompanied by a young gamekeeper, heard shots, and kept a watch. The poachers approached, and when face to face, Walker challenged them. One mau lifted his rifle, and fatally shot the gamekeeper in- the* stomach. The police subsequently arrested Dix on a charge of murder. At the trial, however, the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter.]
