A7'7'.EhIPTID MURDER BY A DISAP-
_POINTED LOVER.

At the Special Petty Sessions, held at Guil dford,
yesterday morning, Alfred Edward Stevens. a.
young man aged about eighteen, the son of a trades-
man at Chobham, was charged with shooting Eliza,
Dewberry, Nith intent to murder her. The cir-
cumstances of the case are of an extraordinary
character, and great 'excitement prevails in the:
neighbourhood wh,
ctre tl..e crime was committed.
The following is the .subs,,ance of the evidence ad-
duced yesterday, whejt Ir. Humphreys, jun., of
Newgate-street, instru.c"'ed by the authorities at
Scotland yard, through the, ,instrumentality of Sir
Denis Le Merchant, Bart., whose mansion is at
Chobham place, conducted ate prosecution. The
prisoner was undefended. The' girl, Elize Dew-
berry, who is 22 year of age, was living last
December in the service of Mr. Lake, of Chobham,
and the prisoner wished to keep company with her,
but his overtures were rejected. This disappoint-
ment seems to have worked upon tike young man's
mind so much that he is supposed to have made two
attempts to take Eliza Dewberry's ht.'. One even-
ing, about a week before Christmas, wen Mr. and
Mrs. Lake were sitting in their drawing'-room, the
girl had occasion to pass between the lamii and the
window, and, almost immediately afterwards a gun
was fired through the window, and a bullet, which
passed within four inches of Mr. Lake's head, broke
the lamp and the looking-glass, and rebounded
without injuring any one. The authorities at Seat-
land-yard were communicated with by Sir Dens
Le Merchant, and Detective Whicher went down.
to Chobham to make inquiries, and had an inter-
view with Stevens, who was suspected at that time,
but nothing resulted from these proceedings, al-
though a reward of £5O
As offered by Mr. Lake
for the discovery of the offender. At the end of
January Eliza Dewberry left her situation and
went to reside with her parents at Sutton, near
Guildford, where, on the 13th inst., the offence
with which the prisoner stands charged was com-
mitted. On the 9th of this month Stevens called
sh
at Dewberry's cottage and asked to see the igirles,,
but the mother, knowing her daughter's' W
said she was from home. About half-past seven
o'clock on Thursday night Mrs. Dewberry and her
daughter were Pitting in the kitchen, which feces
the high road, when they heard the report of fire-
arms, and two pallets passed immediately over their
heads and struck the opposite wall. The escape of
both women is most remarkable, for they were sit-
ting in a line, and the daughter, who was between
the candle and window, within five feet of the latter,
was in the act of stooping the moment the gun was
fired, The shadow of the daughter would fall upon
the blind, and the cottage is low built, so that a
gun might easily be fired from the garden into the
kitchen. Several persons saw the prisoner walking
in the direction of Sutton, between 6 and 7 on
Thursday night, and returning towards Chobham
between 8 and 9. Nearly all of them noticed that
he carried something under his coat, and one womam
swore positively that he had a gun. A girl named'
Emma Fricker was walking past Dewberry's house
at the hour in question, and saw prisoner standing
before it. When he noticed her he walked away,
but before she had gone many yards she heard a
gun fired, and, turning round, saw some one running
away in the direction of Chobham. This witness
saw no other person in the neighbourhood of Dew-
berry's cottage that evening. The young man was
arrested next morning at his father's house, where
the police found a gun which bore marks of having
been recently discharged. The prisoner, who merely
said he was innocent of the charge, was committed
to take his trial at the next Surrey Assizes.
