r f •( I 1 • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER. SHOOTING, WITH INTENT TO KILL. Mork Dyer and John Dyer were indicted for shooting a gun or guns at Thomas Mills, nn the 4Ch of last October, at Yate, with intent to kill him, to wound him, wto do him some grievous bodily halm. There was another indictment against the same prisoners, for shoot ing at Sarah Mills, the wife of Thomas Mills, wjth the same several intents. • Mr. LUDLOW commenced his address, by observing that the prisoners were indicted under Lord Ellen borough's Act, and if they were found guilty. the con sequences ot their conviction must be most serious; the case, therefore, required the deepest attention. It arose out of the apprehension of a very considerable gang of depredators who last year infested this county, which is greatly indebted to the Chai; man of the Q•sarter Ses• sions (the Rev. Dr. George Cooke) for his exertions upon that occasion. It was found necessary soon after the apprehension of this gang, that one of the pertons connected with them should be admitted evidence foe the Crown, and it wasaoon known that Thomas Mills would be selected by the Magistiates for that pfurpose: l Threats were then thown out against Mills. who was afterwards admitted King's evidence. Nu less than 37 . persons were tried at the last Summer Assizes on indict ments for felonies, arising out of the transactions *Ellis gang. Among the persons tried, were the presens.p& boners, Mark and.Jiihn Dyer. Mills gave his evidence' against them, but they were acquitted ; and it would,: therefore, be unjust not to suppose them innocent of the charges brought against them. As it is the dusty of Majstrates on proper occasions to permit person implicated to become a witness for the Crown. so it is their duty to take care that such t •erson should afterwards have the full protection of the laws. Oa the 24th ot last October, Thoiiias Mills returned at semis "o'clock in the evening from Wicker to his father's cota tage at Yate. The whole family were in the swim on the ground floor, the windows of which bad no shut. tens. They were suddenly alarmed by the sound of guns, whether one or two I cannot say ; Mills ran im mediately to the door, and saw two persons, to whose identity, and all the evidence respecting it, you will pay the most particular attention. 1 understand be will tell on that he saw the. two prisoners, who, on seeing , ran away, but in their haste one fell down on the stump of a tree, and the °diet fell over him, and one asked the other to help him up. Mills did not follow these men, whoever they were, and that is not won• derful, as he was alone, and .they had guns. On the next morning the two prisoners were apprehended, their houses. were searched, and in each a gun was found. Thomas Mills, the prosecutors-Last stammer, balm the Assizes, I was in custody, and taken before ire Ma gistrate at Witkwar. Mark- and John Dyer were An fn custody. I had been engaged in several transactions with both of them, but not so much with Mark as with John. I went before the Grand Jury as a witness against them both ; they were both tried in this Court. I was examined as a witness, and they were acquitied. On the evening of the 24th of October last I walked with William Coventry from Wick war to Yate ; we parted at Coventry's house; his clock was thee► striking seven. I immediately went home to my father's house at Yate, which was about 300 yards from Coventry's and about ten minutes after I got home something hap ; med. My father, mother, brother, sister, and my wife,Sarah Milts, bete, with mysel, all in the room. The cottage is nn a tommon,with a-garden in front of the wintictw i sah-ch has no shutters; there were two candles on a round table put 'against the window; my father- was sitting on a chair, his Itght arm nearest the window ; toy brother opposite ; and •Iwas sitting near my father on a lo.v stool;which brought my heed about level with the top of his chair. Aly wife was sitting frr sting the Is e, which is on the left of the room. I was beta een the window and the fire. I was just sitting down whets a gun was fired thr. 11e window. The firing made a large hose in the glass, ab ut three feet and d halt fn m the grou , d, and singed the cumitn.. T;:e top rail of my father's chair was struck widi large slugs. My head !, a s near the tail, and on about the sime level. The fire was blazing. and the door was a-j ir. I tan outside immediately, 'stopped a little, and saw two men. There was no smoke on the outside r f the window; it had, when the gun was discharged, all come inside. The (wo men bead each a gun; one had on a low-crowned hat, 'the other a cap without a brim. The night was dark, but light was thrown out of the window, and extended as far at the men, who were about four yards and a halt off the window. 1 knew their persons; one of them was Mark Dyer, he had the low-craWrted hat en. I am certain it was Mark Dyer ; I have no dnubt what ever it was him. 1 believe the other to be Julia, from • his dress. He had on a cap and a light fustian jacket. There was a cry of murder from the room. I said— " You have done something now." They were , both looking towards the window, stooping their heads, with 'their guns in their hands. I was out of the light, and I do rot think they observed me before I spoke; although I was not more than three yards from them. They then turned up their heads, so tlvit 1 could, see them better, and turned round and began to run away. They had not gone five yards when one fell down. I bowl John Dyer say--4 , Give me thy hand, give me thy hand."— was acquainted with the voice. I positively swear it was John Dyer's voice. 1 have no doubt of it. When I went in doors, my wife was bleeding. Mr. Percival, the surgeon, •attended her the next morning. There .were footsteps in the garden. The traces of one foot • were as if made by a shoo whose heel was half tipped With iron, and the other half filled up with nails, with smooth sole. There were the masks of hobnails in the other steps. _ _ _ Cross-ezatu ined—l should have pursued them, if 1 had not seen the guns ; and I could not tell whether one might not be loaded; I heard only one report. Thomas Downes and his son came to our help; they lived better than a hundred yards off. I did not hear my father or brother say, " that Frask Mills fired the gun." I believe it was my mother sies o said so. I did not say, " It was very likely Flank had fired the gun, and I would have the whole gang taken op to-morrow." After they were . taken up, and not till then, Thomas , White told me that Mark Dyer had said, " Both the Mills ought to be hung, and that he would as soon shoot me as he wank' a sparrow." I did not conceive myself in danger from the Drees before that even i ng. I had been told to be aware of them; but I never Alibught they would do me any harm. I bad been told that if they could get rid of me, their btothte, who was off, might come back again. After the bummer As sizes I had only seen John once, and had never seen Mark until that evening. I was never, that I heard of, cused of break's' into Long's house, at Chit&ld. 1 4 was taken .up for having bacou'in my biruse. Did you give informations for between SO and 40 offences, in which you were a principal felon ? Witness—l did give information on several charges in which I was implicated. Other witnesses confirmed and strengthened this testimony. The prisoners were called upon for their defence. Mark Dyer said, I was in a coal-pit between seven' and eight o'clock that night, and never came up until the morning. lam innocent. John Dyer said, I was at the house of Tamar Hol brook, frogs about half-past six, and it was somewhere about sine when I went out of it; and had nothing to do with the matter. Several witnesses were examined for the defence, among them , Mrs. Tamar Holbrook, an; old woman, who said, John Dyer lives on Iron Acton common, about forty y rds from my house. I remember the night Mts. Mills was shot. They took the poor yOung man the nest morning. , John Dyer was at my house at half-past six —it Will a very dark evening; he stayed till a quarter befele nine. My daughter had been away forctiro years. She was then at home, and asked him to sit down. lam very ill. I come out of a dying bed to , give this evidence. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—After a patient attention te, the investigation of this eitrordinary case, it becomes my duty to sum up the evidence, and-snake such ob. 'serrations as have occurred to me upon it. It is diffi cu:t to conceive a more important prosecution. You have been truly told that it is an issue of life and death, _ { for the offence charge.' is capital, and if the prisoners) are convicted, the law must take its coarse. The prii'e loners are charged under the Act, u uslly culled Lold rEllenborough's Act, for maliciously shooting, with in tent'to murder, maim, or do some grievous bodily harm' to Thomas Mills; and the statute enacts, that the' offenders, their counsellors, eiders, and abettor', are felons without benefit of clergy. Therefore, in point of law, the firing by one is the firing of both, if both are present, aiding and assisting. - The question, therefor% for your coosideration is, whether you arc satisfied that the prisoners, or either of them. did shoot at Thomas Mills maliciously? You will weigh most attentively the evidence of that person: He comes blare you um der most suspicious* circumstances. Time Is a .nost material thing for you to wend to,*because the diffei rence of hilf as hour makes the whole difference. U you are of opinion that the gun was fired at S ,rah Mills, the case does not come with this indictment; and hs this view the situation of the persons in the room ale laded to is most material. About the identity of the prisoners, you wilt watch the evidence with the strictest attention. It depends entirely upon the credibility of Mills. He gives the•only evidence of identity, and St is unquestionably a man t f very bad character. The defence is subject to a nice inquiry as to time. There is no doubt that Mark Di er did go down i:ito the pit that night; but the question is, the exact time when be did go down. It is singUlar that Mrs. Holbrook shout. have marked the time of John Dyer's coming in and going out, and still more singular that she never in-, quit mg or heard the time when the gun was fired nu*: she came hither. Her daughter has not come; mast not press this too strongly, for we all knoll* the difficulties in labial poor prisoners are placed. I am bound to say, that if you convict, the law must take its course. The Jury requested that the witness Thomas Mills might be recalled ; and thee asked him whether the smoke of gun had any effect upon the light, so as to impede Lis rerun ? Mills—No, my Lord, I could see their faces quite plain. The Jury retired for about an hear and a half, and then returned with a verdict of Guilty against both pri soners, but recommended them to mercy. Mr. LuoLow—My Lord, allow me to say, that per h ups the offen fed ;aws will be well satisfied by sending e le e men out of the country. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—I am always molt happy tq attend to the tecommendation of Oury. Alter a pfusei I will take care, Gentlemen, that your .secormsvasfea tion and the Learned Cilunsei's shall he forwarded to the propermiatter; but I am afraid' 'I see nothing to justify me in saying otherwise than that, as far as I am concetned, the law must take its course. The prisoners were severally called upon to say why judgment_ of death should not be passed against them ? They both said they were innrCent. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—You stand severally convicted after a most patient and p rinful investigation, of this heavy offence, to which the law haiannexed the penolty of death; and it is my painful duty to inform you, that the circumstances your case are such as leave no hope that the penalty will not be executed. Indeed, with respect to you, Mark Dyer, you have made decla rations which skew that you had engendered A most deadly malice against this ualortunate prosecutor, in consequence of his having preferred some information against you ; and it appears that you had declared that be ought to be hang , d, and that you would slfeelt him as soon as you would a sparrow—that you would send him to, his great account with all his crimes onrepented on his head ; and it now becomes my painful and most melancholy duty to tell you, that though I shall for ward to the quarter to which it is addressed, the recom mendation of the Jury, and the generous suggestion of the Counsel, I cannot give you a hope that such a re ' commendation will be attended to. You are convicted of an offence by which you would have satiated your revenge by shedding the prosecutor's blood, and you• must atone for that crime with your own blood have only, therefore, to entreat you to consider the aw ful change which you must so shortly undergo. Your days are numbered, and your course is run ; and I im. gore p . m, therefore, to take and bid a long, long fare , well to all the concerns of this world; and if yon value your immortal souls, that you will, on bonded knees, and with penitent and contrite hearts, supplicate at till Throne of Grace for that mercy which I feel cannot be extended to you here. His Lordship concluded with pronouncing the sentence of death. ' One night last week, a daring robbery was committed in the house of Mr. Ma tgews, residing near James's Hotel, Wwohivich, by some thieves, who entered the premises by the basement story which is below the level of the road ; they regaled themselves with roast beef and what else the dairy contained, with a consi• derable quantity of brandy and water, leaving tbr sup per things for the servant of the house to clear away ;' 'they decamped with :large quantity of plate, and have bitbeso eluded detection.
