1Opinion of the CourtErls, J.
The information charged the defendant with manslaughter and alleged that he committed an assault and battery upon Charles Kelly by striking him and forcibly throwing him to the ground, thereby causing his death. The defense was that the deceased sustained his fatal injuries while the defendant, a police officer of the city of Bridgeport, was attempting to arrest him, without a warrant but upon the speedy information of others, within the terms of General Statutes, § 239. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and the state, with the permission of the trial court, has appealed.
