THE MURDER OP A POLICE CONSTABLE
AT ACTON.

At the Hammersmith police-court, yesterday,
two rough-tithing men, who gave the names of Joseph
Brooks, nod 25 years, and loam Brooks, aged 23, biotin's,
and described themselves as labourers, were placed io the
dock before Mr. Hayman, charged with the wilful murder
of polioe-oonstable William Davey, No. 84 T divides, by
shooting him in the bead with a gen.
The court was crowded to excess, and the street in frost
was thronged with persons waiting the result of the exami-
nation.
Mr. Trehearne, a solicitor, of Gresham-street, and Acton,
attended on the part of the police to prosecute the prisoners.
It appeared from Mr. Trehearne statement, that
the deceased wee on duty at Acton in the
course of Monday afternoon, when he stopped two
men carrying planks, and on giving an tomitisfactory
answer as to their possession. he attempted to take
both of them into custody. One succeeded in escaping ;
while taking the other to the station the man threw the
planks down upon the feet of the constable, and also ran
away. The constable afterwards mentioned the occurrence
to the sergeant, sod it was arranged that they should go to
the place from where the planks had been taken and endea-
vour to obtain further evidence. The sergeant was, how-
ever, anxious for the constable to remain on his beat, and he
gave him leave to go home to get his supper fires. He west
down Church-road at half-past 8 o'clock for the curiae..
He was taking care of Petherton-villa, which was an =oc-
cupied house. He had scarcely got into the back parlour
before there was a knock at the door. His wife answered
the door and then called "William." He passed along the
passage, and had scarcely got to the threshold of the doer
when a gun was fired at him, a greater portion of his head
was carried awayy, and he was killed. Mr. Trams= ales
said that he shOuld produce *eidetic., to affect the cid•
! weer', end the only reasonable motive that be could amigo
for it was that as they beloved the constable knew them
they were afraid of being re-taken.
Police-sergeant Arthur Berwick, No. 19 T, was examined.
He said—l imew the &wearied covetable. I sin sergeant
of the division of which the deceased was a constable. I
was with him at bailout six o'clock in the evening in
Avenue-read, Acton. He was on duty, and continued so
until half-past sight o'clock. He mentioned to me the cir-
cumstances about two men stealing plank.. He said he
knew something of the men, and demribed them. The one
he took into custody was dressed in a corduroy suit and a
cap, and the other who escaped had a light jacket. Both
the men escaped. I asked him whether he could swear to
them, and he mid no. He said the voice of one of them
was familiar to him, sod that both resembled
the two Brookes', who were at work opposite to the *or
from which the timber was taken. After that he seed
•permraon to go home fur a short time. That was about
half-past eight o'clock. From a communication I after-
wards received I went to Petherton-villa, where the con-
stable resided. I saw the dammed lying on his back, and part
of his head blown off. There is a small garden between the
door and the gate. He was quite dead. I assisted in making
inquiries after the prisoners. I went to No. 1, Chapel-place,
Windmill.lape, Tumbles-green. Igot there about half-past
one o'clock this morning. The prisoners were in bad.
Isaac is a married man, and he was in a room with his wife.
I did not say anything to the prim:mos.
The prisoner Joseph—l wish to ask the officer whether
he fond any ammunition about me.
Witness-1 did not search you. I saw a gun and powder
found by an inspector.
The other prisoner, who looked exceedingly pale, and were
a white jacket, said he had no questions to ask.
Inspector John Searle, of the T said—About 10
o'clock last night I was in Hammersmith. and received in•
formation that police. constable Davey had bees shot. I pro-
ceeded at once on horseback to Acme, where I met Inspector
Scotoey. We both dimsouated and pro meded to Potherbs-
villa, where the doomed had been shot. We afterwards
went to No. 1, Chapol.plaes, Back-common, Tendril-
greet. We knocked at the door, and the prisoner bear en-
swayed from a bedroom window upstairs. That was about
half-past 1 o'clock this morning. Impactor Sootaey inquired
for Isaac Brooks. The promisor said," Yee, itis me." Impactor
ficotney requested him to come downstairs. He came down
in his night clothes. We then asked him whether be had
any firearms, and whether he had a brother in the house.
He said, he is upstairs. He made no reply to the question
about the firearms. I then left him with Inspector &obey
while I went upstairs. I found the prisoner Joseph in
bed. I said, Joisph Brooks. He was not asleep, and
said, Yes. He appeared to tremble very much. When
I first saw halo he trembled very much and appeared
confused. I said to Joseph, " You must consider your-
self in custody for being concerned with your brother
lame in the wilful murder of police-constable Davey,
at Acton ; have you any firearms' you need not
=ewer any questions, but what you say will be
given in evidence against you." I again said, " Have
yesany firearms!" He said, "I have none;" I bad
a g®. bot I left it at the shop at Acton." I requested him
to pet oat of bed. Hs get out, and I then turned down the
bed 1s the real= of the bed, under where he bad been
lying, I found a gun between the mattress and the bed. I
said, " What is thief He said, "Oh, I forgot I had it there."
While he was draining a powder.flask fell from bis cord
jacket. It fell on the bed chthm, and it was picked up by
Sergeant Hyde'. After it fell from his pocket he soden
veered to tem the clothes ever it, to prevent it being seen.
I took hint downstairs to Isaac. 1 told Isaac the woe
cheap. I mated Joseph where be bud been during the
evening; and he replied, "Nowhere." While he (Joseph)
was deeming be treated the matter as a joke. He lauatt
and asked who the man wee that had been shot. I e
the gun, and found that it had been recently discharged. I
examined it before leaving the room. If it had been
discharged two or three days it would have been rusty. The
powder inside the barrel was quite wet. I examined the
lock. It is a rap lock. There was no cap on it. I found
neither shot, nor sap'. At the station Joseph said. "The
gun is dirty and has been used. I know • I sponged it out
an Thursday, but not skean Before leaving the house be
said the gun had bees pledged and was redeemed the pre-
vious evening. The wife et Isaac said in the presence of the
prisoners that she had boo to Hammenmit with a young
woman named Jane Lake and had redeemed the gun.
She afterwards said that Jane Lake went alone. I
afterwards west to Pethenoo.villa at Acton. 1 made
a search in the =image and ceiling for shot. I picked up
wale shore in the passage, and there were marks of shots in
the ceiling. There were portions of brains, skull, and blood,
scattered about the garden, passage, sod wall, as well as a
large stream of blood in the garden. Them are also marks
of blood on the dress of the deceased's wife. libels in such
a delicate state to day as not to be able to be produced. I
examinol the clothes of the prisoners. I tried to match the
marks in the area= made with their booids,but in consequeum
of the traffic I was unable to do so. I was not able to trace any
marks upon their clothes. On the way to the station Joseph
abed who the man was that had been shot. I told
him. He then said, "When is be r I said, "At the
dead house at Anus." He seemed to shedder, but made
no reply. He told me where the shop was at Mill-hill.
Acton. At the station be said, " That is the gun I had at
the shop."
Mr. W. Ayres said—l am a pawnbroker at Waterloo-
street„ Hammersmith. The gun was pawned at my shop
•

on Siturday last. I delivered it to two females 'about
bay.pasa 7 °Week as Monday evening. They pledged a
pair of trousers fcr Is. and took out the gun. I know
one of the female& Her name is Lake. The iron was
pledged in the MON of Brooks. The gnu was quite clam
when I delivered it out. My foreman, who is sot hem, took
it in.

The prisoner Joseph—Will your foreman swear the gun

Mr. Nyman—The foreman will be here, and you can
ask him the qusatioe.
Prisoner —I oaa swear it was not clean on Saturday.
Mr. Trehearee then said that he had no further evidence
to produce that day, and asked for a remand.

The bearing of this case was resumed thisc mac= when
Mr. thoymones cross-extunimation was with.
He said, when I wrote the words, " Nil Orpen
200," 1 was guided by the reinter of transfers, and by my
general knowledge of the transaction at that time, and from
what Knight told me. No doubt I knew about the trans-
action at the date when it took plasm, bat I remember
nothing in particular.
Mr. H. Farhat stated that he was a clerk of the British
Provident from July, 1888, to the winding.op. Wit-
ness wade the endorsement on the transfer from Orpen.
It was written after November, 1839. The company got
into diMoulties and an execution was put in, and the (um-
ture and papers were lying about, and be felt it his duty to
collect them and he then made the endorsement, being
guided in so icing by the body of the transfer.
Mr. Da than addressed the jury on behalf of Mr. Oro.
He comp of the manner in which Mr. Elerjearit Shaw
had opened the came. It had been represented that it wee
an afterthought on the part of Mr. Omen to say that the
shares were sold to Mr. Sheridan and not to the company.
But Mr. Orpen had been consistent throughout ; be had
always said that he sold the sham to Mr. Sheridan. How
was it that Mr. Orpen became connected with the
company in the first instance' The company, it ap-
peared, wail in difilielties in 1855, and Mr. Sheridan,
being a man of genius, hit upon an ingenious device.
He mused some hundred advertisemente to be inserted in
various country newspapers to this effect :—" One hundred
pounds • year. A gentleman is wanted to take the manage-
meet of this county for a life assurance company. He will
also receive 15 per cent. minimision upon all new premiums
received in the eounty, which, upon a moderate calculation,
would realise him 5001. per annum. He must be respectable,
a man of energy and perseverance able to invest 2001. in
share', upon which he would receive 5 per cent, dividend.
For duties and further particulars apply, with two refer-
ences, to D. W.. Fleming-road. Kennington-park, London."
Attracted by the promise of advantages so greet Mr.
Orpen became what wee called the local secretary and
manager of this &willing company, and paid 2001. for 200
shares. la lees than twelve months afterwards, however,
Mr. Orpen became anxious to resign hie satiation and to gal
rid of his shares, and he wrote to the compact, to take them
off hi bands. Mr. Sheridan wrote to him that the company
could not boy its own shares, but suggested that if he (Mr.
Orpen) would call upon him be would suggest a course.
Mr. Orpen did call, and the shams which bad -cost him 2001.
be sold to Mr. Sheridan for 501. The learned counsel then
referred to the minute book of the directors, and showed
that in two or three other mamba which Mr. Sheridan had
bought shares they were stated to been behalf of the com-
pany, but there was no such statement in this instance.
Moreover, in the other came a resolution was come to that
he should purchase the share', but there was
no such resolution in this case. It was evident therefore
that at the time of this transaction it was not iatendpd
to be • purchase OD behalf of the company, but on Sheridan's
private aooouot. On these grounds, and from all the cir-
cumstances connected with the case, the learned counsel
submitted that the jury were bound to find that the inter-
lineation was made after the transfer was executed.
. .

Mr. IWel OrpTinwas irjejeallea, end exacriieci by Mt.
near. He stated that he is& grocier's assistant at Theme.
ie Oxfordshire. In November, 1856, be beam* the local
secretary and manager for the British Provident. In
October, 1856, he received three mouths' notice to leave. He
therefore became anxious to get rid of his shares. He had
correspondence with Mr. Sheridan on the subject. Saw
Mr. Sheridan in May, 1857. in his room at the offices of the
British Provident. No cos else was prompt. When he first
saw Sheridan, nothing was said about purchasing shares by
the company. Mr. Sheridan offered to bay them in his
private capacity. He refused to give 1601., which wit-
nese asked for them, but offered 501., he (Kr. Sheridan) to
take all the liabilities. He sold the shams to Mr. Sheri-
dan for 501., so the undennanding that instead of oesh he
should take a promissory note. Al terwards Knight came up,
and Mr. Sheridan pre him directions to prepare a transfer
from witness to Mr. Sheridan, and also to repent • pro-
missory note. Knight went down, and returned in a quarter
of an hour with the transfer and promissory Dote. Witmer
read it over. It was not then in the mate state it is now.
There was no interlineation in it thee. Mr. Sheridan pie
him the promissory note. After the transfer had been
ingned, Mr. Knight informed Mr. Sheridan that his brother,
Mr. H. B. Sheridan, was waiting in the next room to see
him. Mr. Sheridan went to see him, and witness come
away from the office.
(lase-examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee—Never heard any-
thing more of the company till November, 1861, when I
was informal by the official manager that I had bean
placed on the list of cootributories. When I wee in nego-
tiation for the agency, 1 was informed that if I gave it um
the company would take the shares off my bee& I was
never inlermed till 1856 that the company could not Nor
their' own shares. There has been a call made under the
winding-Iwo( 51. a share, making 1,0001. for the 200 shame.
Mr. Ay was then about to sum up the evidence, but
' The foreman of the jury interposed, and maid their minds
were nude up.
The Vim-Obaacellor said Mr. Serjeant Shea would be
entitled to a reply.
Mr. Day than shortly rammed up the evidence, and
Mr. Serjeant Shee replied.
The Vios-Chancellor said the jury had intimated that
they had node up their minds in favour of Orpeo. If they
were still of that opinion he need not take up their time by
summing up.
The jury then consulted for a minute or two in their
box, and then gave the following verdict:—" We me
unanimously of opinion that the intsrlinestion in the
treader was made after the execution of that document."
The Vice-Chancellor said be was sure the parties bad
every reason to be satisfied with the attention paid to tie
case by the jury, and for his part he was quite satisfied with
the verdict.

The a:gement& in this are are grill proceeding. ,

crown few VOL, pebjeet to taw opinion of the court. Sub-
sequently a rubs was obtained by Mr. Serjeant Hayes to
enter the verdict for the defendant, or reduce the amount of
the pelialther.
Mr.Serkant Hayes and Mr. H. Matthews appealed is sup-
port of the rale ; the Attorney-Geseral, Mr. Looks,Q-C..
and' Mr. Beim: showed cause against the rule.
The Attorney-Cessna, in showing cause against the rule
urged that thy tieleadent was hosed to make out • rotor;
for each oleos where he tarried on business, or, is the words
of the act, wee " residing or being." With regard to the
penalties. the'retitro was a list of each of tbe articles

ere was a penalty of 501. Here there had been ee return,
Bed the dela:dist had incurred a penalty for each article,
making in the whole 2001.
The Lad Chief Begun said be thought not. He we. of
opinion it was only one penalty for an incomplete return.
In 1411 the excise and customs acts, where the penalty was
cumulative, the words were " for every seek offeece."
The Attorney-General—Then the crown is entitled to
two penalties—wee for each place.
Mr. Locke and Mr. Bevan were beard oo the same side.
Mr. Beduins Haves, in support of the rule, conteoded
that the Muni was only one complete tie., and=nies
penalty to attached it. There wee no proof of re
Taxation and representation were closely connected tope-
ther, and by the Reform Act residence was defined, which
was a peaetseal distinction that was omitted in this est.
Mr. Matthews followed on the seine aide.
The Lord Chief Baron, is delivering judgment, said that
the excise and customs seta state with reference to penalties
"for each and every offence", where it was intended to be
for every violation of the law, and the court were of opinion
that so such of the rule as prayed for the redaction of the
penalties to 501. must be made absolute, bat they would dis-
charge the other part of the rule which prayed to Geier
the verdict for the defendant, on the ground that be was
not liable. The words in the act were " residing or being,"
and he had co doubt the word "Wag" was purposely intro-
duced in order that the ambiguous character of the word
" residing" might not be set up so as to peewit the re-
covery or collection of the tax. The word "be" was of
large importance, and no doubt it was selected in order that
the judges would put, as they were bound to do, &twee-
, able construction on it. It was Dot necessary, for the purposes
of this act, that residing should he a dwelling, becalm, in
another clause, which *mks of living and sleeping, it was
caned • dwelling-house or ae apartment. It was the de-
fendant's duty to have made a return for both places, and
felling that he hail rendered himself liable for 0110 penalty

The other learned judges concurred.
Judgment acoordingly.
Sittings at Nisi Prioa_7(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a

ClOmeuon Jury.)

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a physician,
residing in Finsbugreqoare, against the defendant, the exe-
cutor of the lade Mr. Henry Budd, to recover the sum of
211. for • ha The defendant pleaded never indebted.
Mr. Serjeant and Mr. Cole were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Shaw and Mr. Dowcisswell for the defendant,
It appeared that the deceased had consulted the plaintiff
in consequence of his having met with an accident to his
foot. The plaintiff attended the defendant up to the month
of July. 1862, when he died. The plaintiff now claimed
against the executor.
At the conclusion of the plaintiff', care Mr. Dowdeewell
contended that there was no case to go to the jury. The
plaintiff had made out no special promise to pay on the
part of the deceased. Previous to the passing of the lest
medial act physicians were expected to attend for an
honorarium, and they could not recover their charges
for attendance, tic., without • special contract. The act
provided for the recovery by registered physicians end ea r-
geons of their reasonable charges, subject to such bye-laws
as might be paned by the College of Physician,. The mem-
bers of the college, however, had pulsed a bye-law asset-
ing that they should not recover though a contract existed.
Mr. Baron Bramwell—Then the college has put • further
difficulty in the way of their recovering their charges.
Mr. Dowdeswell—Yes ; the object is to make the pay-
ment of the fee immediate on the giving the advice.
Mr. Cole observed that the act of perliameet referred to
"fellows and members," but that the bye-law only referred
to the fellows, sod oousequently it did not apply to the
present case.
Mr. Baron Bramwell was inclined to think it gave rise to
the question whether the college had • right to make bye-
laws excluding one part of the body. Hs was at • Ices to
understand why • physician should not be able to recover
his fees as well as a general practitioner. There could be
no doubt it was iateoded that a physician should recover his
charges. The act referred to "all reasonable charges," and
it was to be inferred that such could not refer to • contract.
The tue of the word "reasonable" in the act, instead of
" fixed charges," evidently was intended to release phy-
sicians from the disability they formerly laboured under.
He would reserve the point.
Mr. Dowdeswell said, that as his client was one of the
executors, he felt bound to take the opinion of the court in
order to protect the estate.
Mr. Serjeant Parry observed that the defendant was a
lepdee under the will to thy extent of about half • million.
r. Dowdeswell addrese the jury, observing that the
cleansed was a very miserly man, and not likely willingly
on his own account to incur so large a liability. Other
medical men attended the deceased, and during a por-
tion of the time when the defendant visited him no medical
man was in attendance.

Evidence wu then called in sopport of the defendant's
case. . _

The jury returned • verdict for the plaintiff for the
•mount claimed. . _

The learoed judge gave the defendant leave to move the
court above on the construction to be placed on the medical
act.
