Phillip Charles Sheppard : I am • magietrate of the
county of Souiervet, and one of the committee of Stoke
Reformatory. The budding and alterations an left to
me. On the day in question I went into the yard
where Townsend and hi. melt were. I gelled to Mg.
Davis to give them wane direeticaa. It wee evident
that Townsend had bad too much beer. and I then gave
my parting direction, that Do more beer should he
drunk on the premises, remained for a name, sad re.
' turned to the house overlooking the yard whom the
men were at work. This wee about tea minutes pest
four. The men were not at work. I again went lathe
window after an interval of ten minutes, end saw they
were not at work. I then went round to Um Waken
and found Townsend and hie men sitting round the Ire
drinking. At that time the man ought to have he at
work. I went up to Townsend and said. "I've toll yes
I will have no more drinking on the premises." I took
up the can which had some beer in it, and threw the
contento into the ire. I told Townsend to take his men
and leave the premises. It ia • girl's reformatory, so
that I was doubly anxious to prevent drunkeeneak
The complainant came up very drunk, and in a manner
about as ineclent as it could be. He inked me who was
going to pay for the beer that I had thrown into the
Are. I told him I should ham nothing to say to Mo,
and desired him to les.* the premime. Ms answer was
In effect, "I am answerable for the beer, and shan't go
till I'm paid." He was excessively noisy and
violent. I told him if he stopped there tffl
that time next day I should not pay it; be must go
to his master. I then went in and shut the door. I
remained there from Am to ten minutes, and that
opened tall door to see jib, was gone, but be ems set,
senin told him to go. He did not, and s4Dified that
lie would not. As he would not go, I cold, " I insist
on your leaving the premises." Re made ewe of soma
filthy expreesitin, turned round, and put hie i.top in
toy face, and said he would knock by —*head off. I
ain't vouch for the very words, but they were to that
effect. I drew back, or I think he would have Wrote
me. He made use of the expresvion that he would net
be pushed, end thee mid he would kncsit my bead off.
After • little time he turned to go towards the door. I
followed behind hint with the intent on of locking the
door. He was still very noisy and violent when near the
door, and turned on me several times, as if he intended
to attack me. His It ,nds were stretched oat, and his
whole cooduct was that of • msdnian. The first or
second time I drew hack, the last time whin he was se
exceesively vielent I took a pistol from my pocket. He
waa then in an attitude of attack. I took the pistol
from my side pocket. This or the fellow to it was Oics
pistol. It was bolt. d. There was no cap upon it. It
was half-cocked. The trigger was not exposed, and was
as harmless as it is at this moment. I held it in my
right hand and said, " If you come • step to we
I'll elmet you:" he beiog at that moment in an attitude
of violent attack. His used some foul expo...aloes, said
he woe on old soldier, and didn't clue for the pistol. I
believe if I had not the means at hand be would have
done me come bane.

Cross-ezamined--I took out my summons IW Monde,
or Tuesday. If I bad not been summoned by Meador,
I -houli not have taken this summons out. I was fa

that he had • inason's axe or a trowel in hi. heads.
