CRIJILVAL COURT--(This day).

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Ke.ating.)
CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.

George Campbell, 23, upholsterer, was indiete,
for the wilful murder of John Muir.

The facts of this melancholy case have so recen

been published in extenso that it need on the pre-
sent occasion only be stated that the prisoner and
deceased were present at a Christmas party at the
residence of a young man named Wotherspoon, in
Alfred-street, Barnesbury, when some trivial dis-
pute induced the prisoner to reach down a rifle,
which was hanging up in the room, and after
leaving the room with it, be returned, put
it up to his shoulder, and on deceased asking him
what he was going to do, he replied, " I'm going
to put out the light." The gun went off instan-
taneously, and the deceased fell to the ground dead.
Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. W. I'.
M'llonald defended the prisoner, and examined all
the witnesses with a desire t) show that the event
was purely accidental, that the prisoner merely in-
tended to perform the common trick of putting out
the light by the exploding a percussion cap, and
that be had no knowledge that the rifle was loaded.
We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.

NEW COURT.

Benjamin Shepherd, Joseph Brain, Alfred Cook,

POLICE IN TEL LIG EN CE— This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- S IMEET.

TWENTY-TWO CONVICTIONS AGAINST A MAN.—
George Pyons, a thick-set fellow, was brought be-
fore Mr. 'l'yrwhitt for final examination, charged
with being concerned with others not in custody in
assaulting and robbing a gentleman named George
John l\lillett, residing at No. 23, Wells-street,
Oxford-street, of a watch and chain, of the value of
£l5.

The prosecutor was standing at his street door
and feeling for his latch key, when the prisoner and
others walked up to him ant knocked him down,
and on gat ng up he mis.sed his watch and chain,
of the value of £l5.

A young woman proved seeing the prosecutor
knocked down into the gutter, and seeing the pri-
sot ers who attacked him run away. She afterwards
identified the prisoner as one of the persons en-
gaged in the affair.

Clarke, 160 E, proved taking the prisoner into
custody from a description received of him.
llerbert ltecvcs, a warder at the house of Cor-
rection, Coldbath-fields, and Sageant Ch
4F, proved that the prisoner ha.l been c3nviczed
22 times for different offences, principally for felo-
nies and assaults, and on one occasion being sen-
tenced to two years' imprisoament for assaulting
the police.

The prisoner reserved his defence, at the same
time stating th.it he was imuceut of the present
charge.

Mr. Tyrw•hitt committed him for trial, and said
he hoNd the young woman who had given evidence
would be cared for, as he had no doubt she would
be molested by the prisoner's friends, and if she was
he hoped he would be sitting when the persons were
brought to the Court, as he would know what to do
with them.
