it on the desk. The charge was small shot—from
this flask—(a common pistol unloadeLlt and a flask
containing No. 4 shot were here pcoduced, and
identified by the witness, who continuedj—About
three minutes after 12 o'clock I went to tbe gate to
take toll of a gentleman who offered me half a
sovereign to change. 1 was detained abotht 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 side, and close by the footpath. Prisoner was
standing close by. He threw up his hands, ox-
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-4 did not.
Mr. Leigh—HaVe you any knowledge of either
of the young women ?
Witness—l have seen them pass the gtite occa-
sionally.
Dr. Julius Baetcke, of the German Hospital—l
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 I
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 bad 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 this charge at Hackney sta-
tion-house from the constable. Prisoner appeared
in much distress of mind, and wept. He said, ‘q.
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 allot
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, bat
did not see him take the pistol."
Mr. Leigh—This, if taken as evidence, would
not throw any light upon the matter. The pri-
Boner 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-
itted.
