penetrating to the skull bone. There was likewise a
wound at the back of the head, exactly opposite. In
the parlour into which the deceased was carried I saw a
broken chair ; about the height of the top of the chair,
on the wall, were several splashes of blood ; likewise
on the sofa cushions. I also saw this lump of lead
[holding up a piece about two inches long, four inches
in circumference, and two pounds in weight.] The
wound on the head would produce instantaneous death.
Mr. Henry Kiallmark said—l ant a house-surges of
University College Hospital. About a quarter to nine
on Friday night I was called to see a man who had been
brought in shot. I found him suffering great pain, and
had him removed to bed. On removing his clothes I
found a circular wound in the wall of the belly, at the
left side of the naval ; and on his back, opposite to this
spot, I detected a hard, moveable substance, beneath the
skin. I cut down, and took out this bullet (holding it
in his hand). I immediately sent for Mr. Ericheon,
surgeon of the hospital. On his arrival he expressed no
hopes of the person's (Collard) recovery. Prisoner was
brought into th• presence of the wounded rnan. The
wounded man said, " That is the man who shot me."
Prisoner made no remark or reply to this observation.
The wounded man only further said, "Oh, you cruel
man." An officer took a note of what the wounded man
said in my presence. That statement was afterwards
read over to the wounded man in the hearing of the
prisoner. The wounded man had been informed that
there was no hope of his recovery, and he signed the
statement. Several persons were present when the
wounded man made his statement, the prisoner being
about six paces from the bed, but he could see and hear
the man.

Inspector Checkley, of the D division, then handed in
the declaration made by Collard, and said : I went to
the University Hospital at ten o'clock on Friday night.
I saw Charles Collard, whom I knew. He had been
wounded. I asked Collard to make a statement, if he
felt that he was dying, with reference to his having been
sh•`, which I teok down in writing, and now produce.
It was afterwards read in the hearing of the prisoiter,
and signed by the wounded man.
Mr. William Henry Madden said : I lire at IN o.
14, Tottenham-court, New-road. I am a wood car-
ver. On returning home from work on Friday
night, I was passing down Bath-place at about twenty-
five minutes before nine o'clock. Opposite the back
premises of Mr. Moore's soda-water manufactory
I saw several persons standing on the pavement, when
I heard the report of a pistol, and instantly a man fell
in the road, crying out that he had been shot. At the
same instant the prisoner at the bar broke away from
among the crowd, and ran towards Trinity Church. I
dashed after him, and secured him opposite Brook-street.
He turned round and attacked me with a pistol. I de-
fended myself from the first blow with my arra. He
then knocked my hat off, and gave me two blows on
my head (his head was bandaged). I held hisn till the
police came up. He had run between fifty and one hun-
dred yards before I overtook him. I did not see pri-
loner before he broke through the crowd. I distinctly
saw a pistol in his right hand at the time.
Mr. John Bell—l am a cabinetmaker, and live in
Henry-street, Hampstead-road. I was going through
Bath-place about half-past eight o'clock, when I heard
a cry for help. I turned my head round, and saw a pis-
tol discharged. It was fired by the prisoner. I was
about ten or twelve yards from him at the time. It was
dark, but we were near a lamp. The man who was shot
fell aerosol the gutter. Another man had hold of pri-
soner's arm when I saw him. There were two persons
who had hold of the prisoner, who was struggling and
trying to get away.
Mr. Herring said it was quite useless for hint to say
anything on behalf of the prisoner at present.
Mr. Inspector Checkley asked for a remand, in order
that he might apprehend the woman who had accompa-
nied the prisoner to Mr. Moore's house.
The magistrate then ordered the prisoner to be re-
' manded till Thursday next.
