THE MURDER AT ACTON.

-.---

Yesterday, at a quarter to three, Joseph Brooks and
Isaac Brooke were placed at the bar of the Hammersmith
Police-court, before Mr. Dayman, on remand, charged
with the wilful murder of William Davey, a policeman, by
shooting him thrcugh the head, at Petherton-villa, Acton,
on the night of Monday, the 19th ult.
Mr. Treherne, of 17, Gresharm street and of Acton, again
appeared for the prosecution. Mr. A. Haynes, of 12,
Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, and of Wands•
worth, defended the prisoner Isaac Brooks ; the other pri-
soner was undefended.

Miss Emma Rice stated, in addition to her former evi-
dence, that the man she saw on the night in question had
hair on his chin like the prisoner Joseph, but she would
not swear he was the man.

Emma Lake added to her former testimony that she was
engaged to be married to the prisoner Joseph, and the
ceremony was to take place on Wednesday, the 21st
ultimo. When Joseph said, after bringing back the gun,
" God bless the man, if I had him here I'd hit him," he
referred to the man to whom he intended to sell the gun.
In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Haynes said he had
been earnestly solicited by the mother of the two prisoners
to protect, if possible, her unhappy son, and he (Mr. Haynes)
supposed he might therefore be considered to be defend-
ing both of them.

George Treadaway, who was driving a cart in the Ux-
bridge-road on the night of the murder, deposed that he
met a man running very fast along the road about twenty
minutes to nine o'clock. The man had on a kind of
moulsey coat and a cap. The coat found in the house of
one of the prisoners was then produced, and the witness
said it was certainly not such a coat. He kaew both the
prisoners well. Re could not identify either of them as
being the man he saw.
Sergeant Biden proved finding a powder flask in the
pocket of Joseph's jacket. He (Joseph) had taken up the
jacket, and immediately put it down, attempting to cover
it up with the blanket.
After some other evidence confirming previous testimony,
Mr. Treherne proposed to examine Mrs. Isaac Brooks to
give evidence that would only affect Joseph, but Mr. Day-
man said he could not receive that until the case was com-
pleted, so that he might note how far it bore upon the charge
made jointly against the two prisoners.
After some further evidence the prisoners were again re-
manded.
