theouyt gathering
them the way of the forest. Some conversation ensued
about shooting birds, and Meadows threw up a dead sparrow
and fired at it. Some other shots were fired in the course
of a qurrter of an hour. Then Meadows presented his gun
or rifle at Holliday, one of the boye, and then swinging on
his heel discharged his weapon in another direction. That
made them timid, and they all walked rapidly away. They
heard caps being snapped behind them, and Meadows
said " Shoot them; here goes. They walked for some
distance until they came to a bush, where they stopped to
pick blackberries. Meadows came U
up, and
" kneeling
down like a regiment of rifles prepr:ing to resist
cavalry," fired into the bush. •L he shot, however, was
aimed wide of them. Then Meadows fired other shots,
Mordaunt looking on, leaning on his rifle. Meadows then
said that he would shoot the witnesses's dog, as it "would
be a fine hare." Witness put the dog under his coat, and
threatened to prosecute Meadows for et ttelty to animals.
Mordauut loaded his gun with a quantity of shot, saying,
" Here's a let for some of you. After some other proceed-
ings of the same kind, the deceased said to Mordaunt,
" You have no right to shoot here at all ; the police would
take you up if they saw you, and you should not go on in
this way." Mordaunt presented his piece at him and fired,
saying, " I will scoot you,', Deceased fell. Mordaunt said
when he saw the blood, " Oh, my gracious," and ran away,
as did also 'Meadows. Ilollicla?r ran after them, They
came back afterwards to give assistance.
Coroner—Do you believe that Mordaunt intended to in-
jure your brother?
Witness—Yes, Fir. Ho seemed angry at what my brother
said, and he fired at him directly, The deceased was carried
to the Rising Sun, and the police arrested Mordaunt.
After some further evidence, the Coroner said that he
would adjourn the case for the production of the boy Mor-
daunt. The court was then adjourned.
