CRIMINAL COUR7—(This Day).

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. J ustice Smith.)
CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.

'William Dixon, 28, a private in the 7th Regiment of
Fusiloers, was indicted for the wilful murder of William
Brett.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was
stationed with the regiment at Aldershott, and
that lie, with several others, occupied hut No. 1
the deceased (Brett) was a corporal having charge of the
place. Ou several occasions it had become the duty of the
corporal to report the prisoner for misconduct, which, it
appeared, incensed him very much against Devon. On the
20th of July the soldiers in the hut were engaged filling
their mattresses, during which the prisoner and a comrade
named Renshaw went to the canteen, and remained there
till fetched back. At that time Renshaw made use of
some threats against the deceased, and said "he would
put his light out before the night." For that he was
ordered to the guard-room, and very shortly after the pri-
soner was seen handling his rifle, and as the corporal was
coming towards the hut Dixon levelled his weapon. A
comrade named Adams cried out to him to put down the
gun, at which Dixon said if he didn't mind ho should have
the contents instead of Brett if he busied himself about
that which did not concern him. The prisoner then put
the piece to his shoulder took aim, and as the deceased was
entering the hut he fired, and the corporal fell to the
ground dead. The prisoner then put down the
rifle: and said, "Now, I'm satisfied; I have done
it." After the prisoner was in custod , he said,
Brett had always acted as a tyrant towards hint, and that
it appeared was the only reason ho gave for shooting the
corporal.
For the defence it was urged that the prisoner at the
time was not accountable for his actions, he had become
a lunatic through excessive drinking.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of guilty, but recommended him to mercy.
The learned Judge said it was a most cowardly and
deliberate murder, and such a ono that no brave man
would have thought of. Of course the recommendation
of the jury would be forwarded to the proper quarter, but
he could only do that which the law directed. The learned
judge then passed sentence of death in the usual solemn
form. .

----
The prisoner heard the sentence pronounced with the
utmost calmness.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF STEALING A SILVER TEA-POT.—Charles
Lee, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Knox with steal-
ing a silver tea-pot, the property of Mrs. Amy Lewis, re-
siding at No. 12, Little Stanhopa-street, Mayfair.
Mary Ann Culley, servant to Mrs. Lewis, said that on
the evening of Tuesday week the prisoner called to take a
carpet away. She showed the prisoner into the drawing-
room, where the carpet was rolled up, and only wanted
tying. While there she had to leave the room, and on her
return he had left, and the next morning a silver tea-pot
which was on the floor of the drawing-room when the
prisoner was there was missing.
Philip Shrives, who was assisted in the case with Wm.
Beechey, another divisional detective, said that on finding
the prisoner and asking him whether he had been to Mrs.
Lewis's, he denied it, but afterwards on his telling him
th'at a silver tea-pot had been missed, which was in the
room he took the carpet:from, he said he knew nothing
about it, but that if he took it away it must have been
rolled up in the carpet.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the officer said he had no other
evidence at present.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week, and said
he would take a £lO bail.
