POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE.—Ateg . 22.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Alfred Gleave, a fine
young man, aged 21, was brought before Mr. Leigh
with having on his own confession, caused the death
of Susan Dimmock by shooting her.
The prisoner, who described himself as a chrono-
meter escapement maker, living at 3, Elizabeth-
place, Balls-pond-road, Islington, was undefended,
and the first witness called stated—

My name is Sarah Hawkins. I am a single
woman, living at 8, Rosemary-street, Hoxton. I
knew Susan Dimmock, the deceased, she was about
18, and lived, I believe, at Ilaggerstone. About 12
o'clock last night I met her on this side of the
Dalston-gate, and was walking by her side when,
as we passed the toll-house, and while she was
speaking to me, I heard the report of fire-arms—
I believe a pistol. It sounded as if coming from the
toll-house or by the side of it. Swan Dimmock
did not scream or speak, but fell instantly at my
feet. I touched her arm and said " Get up," but
she made no reply. I then tried to raise her by the
shoulder; her bonnet came off, and then I saw
blood on the side of her head. I crossed the road
and spoke to a young man, exclaiming at the same
time, " Good God, she is shot." Many persons
assembled ; the young woman was carried into the
Lord Truro public-house, and laid upon a table.
She appeared quite dead ; a medical matt came and
said that she was so.

Mr. Leigh—Had you seen the prisoner on that
night before this happened ?
Witness—Yes, sir; at about nine o'clock.
Mr. Leigh—Where was ho then?
Witness—Standing outside a public-house near
the gate. I was then alone.
Mr. Leigh—Did you speak to him, or he to you ?
Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Leigh (to prisoner)—Do you wish to ask
this witness any question ?
Prisoner shook his head and replied, " No, sir."
Thomas Phillips—l am a toll collector, and was
on duty at Ralston-gate last night. About half-
past six o'clock in the evening, the prisoner
brought to the other collector a time-piece he
had had to repair. He remained a short period, and
left with the other collector; he returned at 20
minutes to nine o'clock, stopped a few minutes, and
again left at half-past eleven o'clock. I loaded a
pistol belonging to me in the toll-horse, a 1 412 placed

it on the desk. The charge was small shot—from
this flask—(a common pistol unloaded, and a flask
containing No. 4 shot were here produced, and
identified by the witness, who continued)—About
three minutes after 12 o'clock I went to the gate to
take toll of a gentleman who offered me half a
sovereign to change. 1 was detained about two
minutes, and then heard the report of a pistol. I
turned to see from whence it came, and perceived a
young woman lying near the toll-house door on
her aide, and close by the footpath. Piieoner was
standing close by. Ile threw up his hands, el"
claiming " Good God, what have I done! I did
not think that the pistol was loaded." This he re-
peated several times. The first witness lifted the
deceased up, and then I noticed blood gushing very
fast from the side of the head.
Mr. Leigh—Where did you next see the pistol
produced ?
Witness—ln the toll-house, a few feet from the
spot on which I had placed it, but I don't know
who put it there.
Mr. Leigh—Did you notice if it had been re-
cently discharged?
Witness—l did not.
Mr. Leigh—Have you any knowledge of either
, of the young women ?
Witness—l have seen them pass the gate occa-
sionally.
Dr. Julius Baetcke, of the German Hospital-1
have made only an external examination of the de-
ceased. There was a large wound beneath the left
lower jaw, as if made by shot ; the jaw was frac-
tured, and the large blood vessels were injured.
There were not any shot marks on the face ; they
had entered principally in a body, but were slightly
scattered, and in all probability reached the brain.
Carew, 559 N—While on duty near the toll-
house, between twelve and one o'clock in the morn-
ing, the prisoner came to me from a crowd of per-
sons, and said, pointing to a woman lying on the •
ground, " I have shot this person, take me in
charge." I conveyed him to the station-house,
Mr. Leigh—Did he say that he was not aware
the pistol was loaded ?
Witness—No, sir, nor anything like it.
Sarah Hawkins, recalled.
Mr. Leigh—Do you know -whether the prisoner
and Susan Dimmock had been acquainted with
each other ?

Witness—They had, sir, for some time. I don't
know if they had kept company, or whether he
was a single man.
Inspector Bowler, N division—l can produce wit-
nesses to show that they had known each other for
a long time. I took tliis charge at Hackney sta-
tion-house, from the constable. Prisoner appeared
in much distress of mind, and wept. He said, "
went into the toll-house, while Tom, the collector,
was at the gate. I saw a pistol lying on the desk,
picked it up, and it exploded while I was examin-
ing it. A young woman passing by was shot,
I did not know the pistol was loaded."
Phillips, the toll-gate keeper, re-examined—Pri-
soner was not present when I loaded the pistol.
While I was at the gate he crossed the road toward
the toll-house, but I did not see him enter there.

A young man, who stated he was the prisoner's
brother, here stepped forward. He was not sworn,
but stated, " I was sitting in the toll-house when
the prisoner came in. I heard the explosion, but
did not see him take the pistol."
Mr. Leigh—This, if taken as evidence, would
not throw any light upon the matter. The pri-
soner will be committed to Newgate for trial,
and if necessary you can be called there.
The depositions were then completed, and the
accused, who reserved his defence, was fully com-
mitted.
