MURDER OF A TOLL-KEEPER IN TILE FOREST OF
DEAN.—A shocking case of murder occurred on Sunday
evening, in the Forest of Dean. The turnpike at Little
Dean-lane End is kept by a man named Robert Hartland,
and about a month ago Hartland caused the apprehension
of a man named Young (residing about 300 yards from the
turnpike) en a charge of fowl stealing. Young was com-
mitted for trial upon the charge, but unfortunately the
magistrates admitted him to bail until the sessions.
It is supposed that a good deal of ill-feeling arose to.
wards Hartland on the part of Young and his com-
panions, although it does not appear that any open
threats of mischief were made use of by them. How-
ever, on Sunday evening last, about seven o'clock, Hart-
land was alarmed by hearing stones thrown violently
against the door of the toll-house, and he immediately went
out into the road to see what was the matter. lie could
sec nothing; but just as he was turning into his cottage,
he was startled by the report of tire arms, sad immedi-
ately felt that he had been shot. Ile raised au alarm, and
was earned into the cottage, and the police were apprised
of what had taken place. In a very short time P. S.
Brown and constables Ashelly and Itodway were on the
spot, bringing with them three medical gentlemen, who pro •
cetded to examine the body of the wounded man, when
they found that two bullets bad been lodged in the thigh,
sue of them passing completely through it, and that another
had entered the abdomen, penetrating either into the
hip or proceeding upwards to the stomach. The medical
men pronounced it impossible that the sufferer could sur-
vive, and a message was therefore sent off to E. 0. Jones,
Esq., magistrate of Newnliam, who attended awil took the
depositions of the dying man ; but he was able to depose
to nothing which could lead to the identity of the assassins,
as he did not see any one at all in the road when he went
out to ascertain who had thrown the stones. The police
on making a minute examination of the spot, discovered
footmarks un the other side of the hedge across the road,
about fifteen yards from where Midland was shot, and
they also picked up a leaden bullet close by the side
of the toll-house. The officers then proceeded to the
cottage inhabited by the Youngs, sad there they found W.
Young, sea., W. Young, jun., and Amos Young; also
James Williams, sow in-law to the elder Young, and a
man named Joseph Probyn, a labourer. They were all taken
into custody, but nothing was found on their persons to con-
nect them with the outrage, although they found secreted in
the house a smock frock and hat which appeared to have been
used as a disguise, as also a leaden bullet, exactly similar
iu make and sise with that found in the road by Hartland's
house. The police kept a strict watch upon the premises
all night, and in the morning they observed a man named
Jaime Ciwillam loitering en the outskirts of the garden,
and on apprehending him they found on his person a gun
barrel, which had evidently been in the fire as though the
stock had been burned away, and which was still warm.
Gwillam was on this apprehended, and lodged with the
others in prison, and the police are taking the most ener-
getic measures to obtain further clue to the perpetrators of
this diabolical outrage. Reports r. ceived at the police-sta-
tion on Wednesday morning state that the man, Hartland,
had died of his wounds. The surgeons have ascertained
that the third bullet did not penetrate the stomach but
lodged in the hip, injuring the great arteries. The pri-
soners were on Tuesday had before Sir H. M. C. Boevey,
Mr. Colchester, and Mr. E. 0. Jones, and remanded to
Friday next. We learn, at the moment of going to press,
that the lock and pins of the gun have been found secreted.
in an oven in Young's house.—atelleishamt Examiner.
