being so near at hand, but they heard nothing of OM
kind, and saw n,,thing on searching about to indicate
that a shot had been fired. One of the witnesses, how-
ever, added that immediately after he heard the shriek
he saw a little girl running past his house, who ex-
claimed that a woman had been fired at by her husband;
he (witness) had not seen the girl since, and, therefore,
could net say whether she heard the report of a pistol.
or whether she had uttered the words on bearing the
complainant repeat them.
A Mrs. Bundle stood forward and stated that she was
present and heard Mrs. Staples say to the complainant
that if she (Mrs. Morris) did not swear her life against
her husband, neither she (Mrs. Staples) nor her father
would every speak to her.
Mrs. Staples was interrogated by the Magistrate re-
rpecting this, and she admitted that she did say some..
thing tantamount to the words alleged, and also ad-
milted that she was anxious the prisoner should be aid
held to bail or sent to gaol.
Mr. COTTINGBAM was rather surprised that She
should have evinced so much feeling against the accused;
as his wife, if she deemed it requisite for the safety of
her life, would have come forward without Mrs. Staples
holding out a kind of threat to her if she did not appear
against him. The Magistrate then said that be was sot
at all satisfied with the evidence adduced of the prisoner
having discharged a pistol at his wife. His doubts ar.lnt
from the facts that came out in the course of 4
i
lengthened examinations on the subject, for it was most
mprobable that a man, after attempting
to perpetrate SO
diabolical an act, should have proceeded to the house
where she had run for succour called her out, and wanted
her to accompany him home, and he even had threatened
to call the police to compel her when she refused to qui
the place. If the prisoner was bent upon the destruction
of
it into
he had previously greater opportunities of cat.
rying t into execution, and with a much less chance of
.detection, when they were in the country together, th
in the place where the alleged attempt upon ha life wssw
made. Then, again, no persons had come forward
substantiate the statements of the complainant and
. her
witness as to a pistol being fired—the place where it WO
alleged to have taken place was an open thoroughfare,
people passing and repassing, some of whom, if fire:
arms of auy description had exploded, must have heard
_
the report, yet none did, not even the inmates of tin
adjoining houses, although some of them distinctly be
the complainant scream out at the time. In additionto
all this, it could not be forgotten that a strong feellVrf
hatred existed in the mind of the complainant's fa
against the accused, and that she herself had shn'i)
good dral of rancour towards him. He (the Magistrate)
however, should give the complainant an opportunitif".

that purpose should adjudge the accused to enter Oltilt:
