WESTERN CIRCUIT.— Winchester, July 15.
(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Thomas Sharmer was indicted for having feloniously shot
at Thomas Brealy, with intent to kill and murder him. There
was a second count charging the intent to be to do grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. Poulden conducted the prosecution. Mr. Missing ap-
peared for the defence.
Mr. POULDEN stated the case to the jury, and it is one of
so singular a character, that it has been thought best to set
out the evidence at length.
The first witness called was Thomas Brealy—ln February
last I was working at that time with Mr. Boverstock as
time-keeper. He was erecting a mansion. The prisoner also
worked there as foreman. I lodged with the prisoner, in
New-street, Andover. I remember the 7th of February. On
that day I got up at half-past five, and I think asked the
prisoner for a light. I had been in the habit of going to my
work with the prisoner, but did not on that morning.
I first saw him about half-past twelve. I was at my work on
the landing of the mansion ;he came to me twice. He said,
"Brealy, I want to speak to you." I said, " Very well," and
accompanied him into the clerk of the works' office. When
I got there we went into a room, and the prisoner locked the
door and took out the key. I stood by the fire-place. He
then said, " Now, Brealy, I want that 321. that you have of
mine—that you have taken out of my cupboard drawers in
my room." I said, " What 321. ? I have never been in
your room but once in my life. I have only Is. 9d. in my
pocket until to-night." He said, " You have it." I said,
" No, I have not.' He then said, " Will you tell me where
it is ?" I replied, " I cannot tell about a thing I know no-
thing at all of." He then said, " Very well, then, I have
something for you." He immediately put his hand in his
pocket and pulled out a pistol, and said, as he presented the
pistol, " You are a murdered man." He then fired directly,
and I fell. The next thing I remember is that the door was
broken open, and a man named Dyer, who had been working
in the next room, came in to my assistance. I tried to get
up, and fell into the passage. I was supported by a man
named Serrage. I heard som one say (I think Boverstock,
my employer), " Good God, Brealy, you have shot yourself."
I said, "I have not," and pointed to the prisoner, and said,
"He has done it." I was then taken into Sharmer's office.
After..l had been there some time, Sharmer, the prisoner,
came to me. I said to him, " Sharmer, I freely forgive you- --I
for what you have done to me, and as I shall have to appear
before God in few minutes, I proclaim Ply owu inucceuce,

and say I know nothing of your money." He then said,
" Very well, Brealy, then I shall be hung, and you will be
saved." This is all I remember that passed at this time.
Mr. Smith, the surgeon, attended me. I have been laid up
for some time ; pieces of bone have constantly been working
out of my jaw. I had never taken any money from the pri-
soner.

Cross-examined by Mr. MISSING—I had been seven
months at Red Rice before this occurred. I first came to Red
Rice as a labourer. My father was chief clerk at the Old
Bank at Marlborough, and I have a brother a clergyman.
Before I came to Red Rice I was living with some young
friends at the London University. I had no means of getting
my living until my friend Mr. Boverstock took me by the
hand. I was not on terms with my friends. Sharmer first
told me to keep the time. I was only one day a labourer.
I lived three months at Red Rice before I lodged with Shar-
mer. He first made the proposal. ,He always treated me
with the greatest kindness under every circumstance. He
has lent me money on many occasions. His conduct both to
me and all the men has always been of the kindest character.
I remember a man named Horne breaking his leg while at
work there. Sharmer was the means of getting up a sub-
scription for him. I am in the habit of taking laudanum,
sometimes every day, from thirty to forty drops. I take it to
procure sleep. The prisoner has never shown me large sums
of money. I remember before the door was broken open see-
ing Sharmer strike the door with a poker, or a bar of iron. I
do not remember Sharmer crying out, " Send for a doctor."
I remember him saying, " I did not intend to hurt him,
but only to frighten him." He was very kind to me after-
wards, and appeared very sorry for what had happened.
By the JUDGE—When he was asking me about the money
we were looking at .each other. This was so until he pulled
out the pistol. I then turned my head. This was with a
view of avoiding the pistol. It immediately went off.
Re-examined—Sharmer was about three yards from me
when he fired the pistol.
Wm. Boverstock—l am a builder, and was engaged on
some buildings at Red Rice, in February last. Brealy was
time-keeper, and Sharmer clerk. I remember Sharmer tell-
ing me that he had lost a sum of money that he had bad of
me to pay a person. I asked him if he knew how he had
lost it. He said he thought Brealy had got it. I said I hoped
not. I asked him to walk into the garden, where we had
some works going on, and had some conversation as to the
best way to get it back. I made various suggestions, one
was that some one to whom Brealy owed money should ask
him for some. I advised him to tell a man named King to
go to him. agreed to meet him the next day at the
Mason's Arms. I remember West pressing him to go home
and search for the money, as it might have been mislaid,
and then ordered him to go to Red Rice the next morning
and see Brealy, take him into a room, and ask him to allow
himself to be searched; and if he would not to lock him in
and keep him until I came. I advised him to take him into
the room where he was afterwards shot. I afterwards saw Sham-
mer the next morning between eight or nine, and had some
conversation with him, and again about twelve, and then
asked him if he had seen Brealy about the money, as I had
the men to pay and a good many miles to go home. I then
heard Sharmer call Brealy, and heard them go into the cleric
of the works' office. About ten minutes after I heard a ratt-
ling. I ran out and saw two of my men breaking open a
door. I never heard any report of a pistol. I then heard
Brealy crying, as if some one was beating him. The door
was then broken open, and one of the men brought Brealy
out in his arms; his face was bleeding as if a knife was stuck
into his face. I then saw the smoke coming out of the room.
I said, "You are a guilty man, and have shot yourself." The
men and Brealy fell on the floor. Brealy said, "lam an in-
nocent and a dead man." Sharmer then came out of the
room and stepped over Brealy. He said to me, "I did it,
sir; I did it, if I die on the scaffold; but I did it to frighten
him. I shot at the door, but it took a differert direction." I
was much alarmed, and said, " Take my horse and go for a
surgeon." I ran down stairs, as I was afraid Sharmer had
another pistol and would shoot me. I was alarmed at his
appearance. He appeared much agitated—out of his senses.
He followed me about the building, but I was afraid to
speak to him.
Cross-examined by Mr. MISSING—I did tell Sharmer that
if he could induce Brealy to admit that he had had the
money he should be no loser, and that whether the money
was found or not, I had that confidence in Sharmer that I
believed he bad lost the money. I told Sharmer that as
Brealy had been going on so badly he should be discharged
on the next Saturday. Sharmer had reported Brealy as
having been absent from his work on several occasions, and
that he had gone to Whitchurch with a female; he gave this
as one of his reasons for suspecting Brealy had the money.
Mrs. Robinson—l am the wife of William Robinson. I
live at Andover. I knew the prisoner before this took place.
He called on me on the morning of the 7th, and asked me
to lend him a pistol. He knew my husband had one, as he
had had it before. I lent it to him, and he took it away.
He said he would return it again in the evening.
Cross-examined—The prisoner was in the habit of carry-
ing large sums of money on the Saturday nights.
Thomas Fothrop—l am a gunsmith, living at Andover.
The prisoner called on me on the morning of the 7th, and
brought a pistol to my shop. He told me to oil it, take the
rust off, and put a flint to it. I did so, and he returned for
it in half an hour. He asked me if I had done the pistol.
I said, " Yes." He then told me to load it. I did so in the
usual way, with powder and ball. The ball was rather
small, and I wrapped some paper round it, which I asked the
prisoner for.

By the JUDGE—I do not know whether he saw me wrap
the paper round the ball, his back was towards me, but I
asked him for some, and he said he had none. When he
was leaving the shop, he said he was going to frighten a
fellow who had done him out of 301. I said, " Mind, it is a
dangerous thing to play with." He then left.
John Dyer, a workman, was then called, and stated that
he worked at Red Rice, and was in the house close to the
room where Brealy was shot, on the day in question. He
stated that he heard the report of the pistol, and then broke
open the door. His evidence confirmed Brealy and Mr.
Boverstock in all material particulars. He also stated that,
in clearing out the room, he found the ball on the floor.
There was a mark on the architrave of the door, where the
ball had gone.
The policeman who apprehended the prisoner was called,
and stated that when he took the prisoner into custody he
gave him the pistol, and striking him on the shoulder, said,
" I done it, I done it, and I'll die like a man on the scaffold."
1 • Mr. W. Smith—l am a surgeon living at Weybill, five
miles from Red Rice. I was sent for to see Brealy. He
was suffering from a gunshot wound. The ball had en-
tered behind the left ear, and then passed round the jaw and
out at the cheek. He was in a very collapsed state—in great
danger. He continued in danger for five or six weeks. The
jaw-bone was shattered. Pieces of bone have come away
from eifoliation.
This heing the case for the prosecution,
Mr. Missnea addressed the jury for the prisoner, and con-
tended that the whole had been the result of accident—that
the pistol had been obtained for the mere purpose of frighten-
ing Brealy, and with no intention of injuring him. He also
called numerous witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excel-
lent character for honesty.
Mr. Baron PLATT then summed up the case with great
minuteness, and told the jury that if they thought the injury
was caused by an accident, and not with the intent charged
in the indictment, they might still find him guilty of the
common assault.

The jury immediately found him guilty of the common as-
sault, and the Learned Judge sentenced him to be imprisoned
for one month.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Oxford, July 15.
CRO WN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.)
Jane Cross, aged 30, was indicted for having on the Bth of
May last, feloniously set fire to and burned down a certain
dwelling-house, at Shipton-under-Wychwood, with intention
to injure Elizabeth Cross and Thomas Lee.
Mr. Dovvdeswell conducted the prosecution; and Mr.
Pigott and Mr. Huddlestone defended the prisoner.
For some time back, it would seem, there bad been dis-
putes between the husband of the prisoner (who was, how-
ever, indicted as a single woman, there being another indict-
ment for the same crime against her husband) and his mother
respecting the dwelling-house in question, which was lor
property. Some time since there was an attempt made by
Mrs. Cross to dispossess the prisoner's husband, and to turn
him and the prisoner out of the house. The parties who
aided in so doing were indicted for the forcible entry and
convicted. The house in question had been, it appeared,
mortgaged by Mrs. Cross to a Mr. Lee, an attorney. An ac-
tion of ejectment was brought, and judgment having been
obtained, a writ of possession was sued out and placed in the
hands of Whitelock, an officer of the Sheriff of Oxford, to be
executed. He proceeded on the Bth of May last, about
eleven o'clock in the morning, to the prisoneN house, and
afterwards left it, and returned soon in eompany of a con-
stable named Franklin, and his own servant, North. On
going back, he saw Cross in the garden, and the prisoner at
the first-floor window of the house, the door of which was
locked. The window was open, and she continued at it
while he was talking to her husband. He asked the pri-
soner's husband to deliver up possession, but the latter re-
plied that he would sooner die than do it. Whitelock went
to a carpenter, leaving North and Franklin at the house, to
borrow an axe and a pair of pincers. On his return he
called out to Cross, asking whether he was still in the
same mind ; he made no answer, but the prisoner said from
the window, " Don't let them in, let them break in."
Whitelock immediately called to Franklin, saying, "He
does not mean to open the door, or to make any resistance,"
and then proceeded to draw out the staple by which the door
was fastened, and at the moment heard some one cry out
" The house is on fire." He looked up, but the prisoner was
not at the window. Having forced the door, he went in, but
did not, owing to the flames, go up stairs. He went in search
of a back door, but found none, neither did he see any one
in the house. Franklin noticed that as they were breaking
in the prisoner was at the window, though, when the fire
broke out, which was in about a• minute after they began
to force the door and break the window, she was gone from
it. When she came out she denied any knowledge of the
cause of the fire. The house was burned, and 1001. damage
done, which, however, the Royal Exchange Assurance Com-
pany paid to Mr. Lee. The prisoner and her husband fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaking, and one of the implements
of that business is a sort of iron tool inserted
in a wooden handle, and called a " polisher." To make use
of this tool it must first be heated in a candle or the fire,
and then applied to. the leather; and so frequently is the
handle set on fire in this operation that it is always covered
with a tin plate. That produced in court had its handle
completely converted into charcoal by the action of the fire
and heat to which it had been subjected. It was urged for
the prisoner that it was most probable that this tool had just
been taken from the fire when the first alarm of the attempt
to eject the family was given ; that she or her husband might
have been at work, and that in the fright of the moment it
was thrown either on a bed or on the floor, and that the
weather having been previously both hot and dry, the result
had been that the wood of the floor, or the bed, ignited. The
prisoner was seen at the window till within a minute of the
cry of fire, and that cry of itself would make her leave it to
effect her escape. It was contended that all her words, " Let
them break in, meant meant was, Let them do as they did before,
and we can indict and punish them for their act. It was
most improbable that she would risk her own life and destroy
her own property by committing the crime alleged.

(Before Mr. Sergeant GAZ ELBE. )
A PRIZE. Wm. Gill and Thomas Oliver surren-
dered to take their trials on a charge of riot, and of assault-
ing, on the 12th of May last, George Hall alias George
Norley, in a prize-fight, and for other misdemeanours, in the
parish of Shipton-under-Wychwood.
Mr. Keating and Mr. Phillimore appeared for the prosecu-
tior, and Mr. J. J. Williams conducted the case for the de-
fendants.
By an arrangement made by the gentlemen of," the ring,"
who appear to have patronised this county of late, a contest
for the "championship of the light weights" was to take
place at Northleigh, for 2501. a side. The heroes who were
to struggle for the honour above-named, and the trifling pe-
cuniary advantages attached to it, were William Gill, of
Coventry, and George Hall. Some intimation of the pro-
posed " passage of arms" having reached the authorities, a
constable went to the spot, and thus the contest was pre-
vented there; but the combatants repaired to Witty-green,
near Ramsden, where the fight actually came off. The
county magistrates detemilled.not.to let the pugilistkesiape
so easily, caused indictments to be preferred against the de-
fendants William Gill, John Brown, and Henry Brown, two

worthies of "the fancy," and who appear to have made
themselves very conspicuous in the matter, and also against
the ringkeeper or " commissary," Thos. Oliver, the other de-
fendant. For a very strange reason (when the administration
of justice is concerned) no proceedings were taken against
Norley, it being considered that as he lived somewhere in the
north, it would cost a great deal to follow, apprehend, and
bring him to Oxford to take his trial. There were present
at this fight upwards of 1,000 persons, who appear, except as
regarded huzzaing and shouting, to have behaved in an or.!
derly manner. The constable said that there were maul
d
vehicles there, and several "good imitations of ladies an
gentlemen."—(Laughter.) He also identified the defendants. ,
Other witnesses confirmed the evidence of the constable.
At this stage of the case,
Mr. J. J. WinuAms said he should advise the defendants
to withdraw their pleas and plead guilty.
His LORDSIIU", having first conferred with Mr. 3.1136;1
Maule, ,
that without going the length of saying that a.
parties psent at a prize-fight as spectators were equallt
guilty with the principals, yet this he would say, that if anY
of the gentlemen assisting at such a lawless transaction as
this had been brought before him, he should have made Inns".
severe examples of them. The defendants had committed it
offence of by no means a light character; but that of which
those gentlemen were guilty who had stimulated them on
was much more grave in its nature. He should deal
leniently with the defendants, and should therefore order
them to be imprisoned for three weeks; and at the te."
mination of the imprisonment to enter into their own re-
cognizances of 1001. to keep the peace for one year. ,„
The business of the county has this day terminated. The
commission will be opened at Worcester on Friday ttV
morrow).

£HE SILVER MINES OF MEXICO.
The following anecdotes of the secrecy with which-
the Indians of Mexico preserve the knowledge of the
silver mines with which their country abounds are WI"
by a German traveller :—The Indians have discovered
that their silver mines have made their condition rather
worse than better. They determine, therefore, to keel
secret their knowledge of some rich veins of silver not
yet explored by Europeans. Traditions of these mines
have been handed down, it is supposed, from father to
son, through centuries. Even brandy, which will oPe.ll
the Indian's mouth on any other subject, fails in tin:
case. A few years ago, there lived, in the large villa!,
of Huancayo, the brothers Don Jose and Don Pe__,°'"
Irriarte, who were among the wealthiest mine prePrle:
tors of Peru. As they bad reason to suspect the exist'
ence of rich unexplored veins among the neighbouring
hills, they sent out a young man in their employ to ex alpine
the country, and use the likeliest means of discovery
Accordingly, he repaired to a village where he found
lodgings in the hut of an Indian shepherd, from Nvhe
he concealed his object. In the course of a few moritur
an attachment had grown up between the young
venturer and the shepherd's daughter ; and, at last, we
young man succeeded so far in his object as to win fro.,
the girl a promise that she would paint out to him the.
mouth of a rich silver mine. She directed him to follora
her, at some distance, on a certain day when shs
go out to tend her flock on the hills ; and to notice wile!.
she dropped her manta,' (woollen shawl). There 51
told him, he would find the entrance of the mine. 112,
young agent obeyed her directions ; and after alt.
digging, found his way into a moderately deep shit"'
which led to a rich vein of silver. He was busily,
should
engaged in breaking off some specimens of the 01"
when he was surprised by the old shepherd, who e°ll.
gratulated him on the discovery, and offered assistance'
After working together for some hours, they rest
and the Indian offered to the young man a cup of ebi,cit
which he drank. Soon after drinking, he felt unwi.;,
and, as a suspicion of being poisoned flashed upon V.
mind, he instantly packed the specimens of ore in 9;0
wallet, hastened back to the village, and thence rode
Huancayo. He had only time to explain his adventlkt
to his employers, and point out, as well as he colf„.
the locality of the mine ; for he died in the night.
other exploring party was immediately sent into tms
neighbourhood, but without success ; the Indian and hi
family had vanished from the place, and no trace of tile
mine could be discovered.

Another story is the following :
r
A certain Franciscan monk, a passionate gobt.,
, e
lived at Huancayo. By his friendly offices he had vel;
'
come a favourite among the Indians, to whom he oftebe
applied when in want of money. One day, when 0
had suffered losses at the hazard-table,_ he begged of so
Indian, who was his relative, to help him out of b,,
poverty. The Indian promised assistance on the folln
ing evening, and arrived punctually at the appoilo
time, with a bag full of silver ore for the monk.
process was repeated several times, until the still neell,
monk earnestly prayed that he might be favoured !J na view of the source from which his wants had ;bid
0
so often supplied. This request also was grits
by the friendly relative; and, accordingly' the
the appointed night, three Indians came to
old
house of the Franciscan—desired that he Ow
allow them to bandage his eyes—and, he ,
senting, carried him away, on their should 10
some miles along the mountains. There, they lifted °bile
down—conducted him down a shaft of considers iA
depth—and displayed to him a rich and shining iseo4
of silier. When he had amply feasted his sight,
fos
had taken ore enough for his present necessities, his el
were again bandaged, and he was carried home on
4154
shoulders of his guides. On the road, he slily ulwbs
his rosary ; and dropped a bead here and there, that ha
might have a clue to the mine. Arrived at horne,..;l;
