at Susan Lingweod, single woman, with intent to murder

Robert Warman deposed—l am a farmer living at Griston.
Susan Lingwood is my niece. She is a milliner, and is
frequently out at wink. I remember bearing a gun on the
morning of the 2.5 th of July. flocked oat at my window,
but saw no one, and got into bed again. During the morn-
lag my niece brought a drawer to me, and I maw a bullet in
it. I then went up scat,., and noticed a hole is the window
of the room in which she slept, end I also observed a hole in
:be bed-curtain, and it appeared as though a perms had been
trampling orb ut. I went into the bedroom and saw • bullet
which was lodged in the drawer. I observed a hole through the
corner of a vane of glaze, and like aim some boles in the bed
curtains. By the footsteps in Wornim's field, I traced the
person some distance in the direction of the prisoner's
father's house. In hie father's workshop I found • Pun,
about ten o'clock in the morning. It appeared to have been
recently discharged. The hammer was Rose. I showed the
gnu to Mr. Brewster, a gunsmith, who ermined it.
Susan Liogwood, the prommitrix, deposed—l live with my
uncle, Mr. Warman. I am a dressmaker. I have known
the prisoner sines last Mused twelvemonth. He commenced
paling his addresses to me about that time. Some time
since I gave him a denial, and he has been very mach excited
every time I have seen him since. He said he thought this
business would sad bad, and he wished he was like Rush.
He said that just after Rush was executed. Oa Wednes-
day, the 25th Jul I saw kiss. He followed me home,
and stopped me Is • gateway, bat I pushed through.
He followed me further, and when he overtook me he got
hold of my hand, and walked with me about 20 yards in
front of my uncle's homes. He told me he had heard that
I was engaged to some one elm. I did not deny it. He
mid that on the day I was mtrried he must do some one a
mischief. I said, "If you do, I hope it will not be my
husband." He has often told me I should repent wren it
was too late. He Dace took a chest of drawers up
into my bed room. The bed was in the same position
then as on the night the gun was fired. I did not
hear the pa myself, but I beard a dog barking. The next
morning, on rising, I saw the bullet is the drawer. Her
dress was lying en the bed, and the bullet had touched it.
I had the letters produced from the prisoner. I brclio off
the engagement because the primatr was always threaten-
ing to destroy himself, and I thought he would destroy me.
William Brew...ter, gunsmith, deposed that be had exa-
mined the gun, and he believed that a ball had been fired
out oCit. The appearantus were not such as would have
been produced by shot.

stated that he himself had fired the gun, on the afternoon
before the police came for it, and had left it in the shop.
The next morning be had mimed the hammer.

prisoner about two miles fromi Gusto', at bull-past eleven
on the night of Wednesday, the 24th July last.
One of the letters which bad been produced was then read.
It spoke, iaa very expressive manner, of the unkindness of the
prosetutris, in haying forsaken him, and repair(' again and
aside, that " it would end bad;" " that it would cost bias
his lifer and " that he warned her again."
Mr. Power addressed the jury for the defence, urging that
the young man bad certainly no intention of destroying the
girl, but had fired the NW for the purpose of causing her
to reject the at?totionsof his rival.

TI. jury deliberated oitT itOrr and a half before they
peed. They Ws acqui.tad the prisoner.
