and two other lads were out gathering blackberries
in the
forest. At five o'clock they set out for home, On the way
they met two lads named John

and "kneeling
down like a regiment of rifles preparing to resist
cavalry," fired into the bush. The shot, however, was
aimed wide of them. Then Meadows fired other shots,
Mordaunt looking on, leaning on his rifle. Meadows then
said that ho 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 cruelty to animals.
Mordaunt loaded his gun with a quantity of shot, saying,
"Here's a lot for some of you.' ' After some other proceed-
ings of the same kind, the deceased said to Mordaunt,
"You have no right to shoot hero 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 shoot you." Deceased fell. Mordaunt said
when he saw the blood, " Oh, my gracious," and ran away,
as did also Meadows. Holliday ran after them, They
came back
afterwards to give assistance.
Coroner—Do you believe that Mordaunt intended to in-
jure your brother?
Witness—Yes, sir. He seemed angry at what my brother
said, and he fired at him directly, The deceased was carried
to the Rising Sun, and tbo police arrested Mordaunt.
After some further evidence, the Coroner said that he
would adjourn the case for the Induction of the boy Mor-
daunt, The court was then adjourned.
