CROWN SIDE._
James Vaughan Everett, a genteel young man,
aged 24, was indioted for maliciouSly pointing a pis:.
tol, loaded with hall, at Vi&or Aruadee 14ymond;
and pulling the trigger, with- intent to murcier him.
Mr. COURTHORPE stated, that this way a case of
melancholy atrocity on the part of the Prisoner, who
was the sou-ia-laW of the Prosecutors against whom
he "snamed the pistol, with intent. to murder him.
The Prosecutor, Mr. Raymond, had many years
kept a school of great respectability at Lewes, in this
county, and the Defendant came into his-fancily in
Jan. 18b5, as an Lfsher. While he was there he
paid his addresses to the Paisecutor's daughter, but
without the knowledge of the Prosecutor. They at
length eloped :together, and were married., The
young woman, bowever, lived with him but a short
time, for,. from the ill4reatment of the Prisoner,'She
was obliged agiiin to nek the shelter of her fattier's
house;- she was aatually living with him at the time
of the present transaction, which occurred on the
21st of November last. 'On that day the prisoner
carne'to Lewes,. and wished ;to have an interview
with .his wife, but'access to the house was denied,
him. He immAiately.wrote a note to Mr. Cripps,
the Magistrate, at Lewes, complaining that be
could not see his wife and 'child, add begging,
that Gentleman's interfe,ience to procure-an inter-
view. Althout-n twit Gentleman was wholly unac-
quainted with yet he kindly undertook to do it;
and acc( went to Mr.:RV/-nond, 'who agreed
to see the prisoner, but in the presence of Mr. Cripps,
as be would not venture alone to encOnnter the vio-
lence Of his"temper. Mr. Cripps accordingly accorn-,
panied the prisoner to
.Mr. Raymond's, and he was
there shewn his wife and child. Hecaskedhis wife if
she would live with him, provided be could get the
means to support her ? She replied, that she would', if
be Wouldnotmisconduca himself in the manner he
had hitherto dode. He then requested to be left alone
with his wife, which being rethsed, his demeanour
became so outra'aeous, that Mr. Cripps thOught it
necessary to order. him to be turned out ofythe
house,. He inimediately went away; ,but returned,
again about four o'clock, and knc ing tlw ways of
the house,hegaMedacces; to the parlour door with-
out being observed, where he found Mr. Raymond
and one of 'his scliolar. He immediately drew a.
pistol, and snapped it at Mr. Raymond ; but Most
fortunately it flashed in the pan,,otherwise the shot
Would prOWbly have proved fatal. What motive
the Prisoner Could assign for.biS conduit he could
not foresee-5 but from his iti§trunions, -it appeared
to be the most wanton and diabolical that ever 1)4
heard related. It Would ..be for the liriSoner to as 7.1
sign in his defence any provoCation, if- he could,
adequate to such dreadfnl,revenge.
Vidor Amadee RayinOnd, the ProseCutor, stated
t. the interview and. conversation, as 'detailed by Ir.
COURTHORPF; ; he added, that as be was sitting at tea
in the.parlonr, he heard the door open ; and suppos;-
ing it was his assistant, he said, " walk in," without
lifting his eyes from a letter which he was. reading.
But hearing a 'voice ' exclaim, " Now, God
you!" he looked up and saw the Prisoner, who
pulled a. pistol from under 'his.coat aioe,p a
at him. Theyistol flashed hi the yam ; attempteda Pe
to wrest,it from the Prisoner, but the latter being. the
strongest, prevented him ; and closing the pan, he
- snapped it at him second time. The house b6ing'
alarmed, the Prisoner retreated. -

Thomas Whiteman, the constable, stated,- fhat be
apprehended the Prisoner at the end of M. Ny-
mood's garden-wall. When be *first saw the Pri-
soner and offered to lay bold of him, he presented
the pistol at the witness; afterwards he snapped it
at his own head. _
