Colonel Hughes and friends, from ditto; WW. Ramsdesi, Esq.
from ditto. October last. ' This gun was always kept in the cor-
ner of the back parlour, to be handy when I used it
in the garden. Before I purchased the short gun, as
I before stated, the other gun always stood- in the
same place; and some time alo my wife attempted
to shoot me with it, which was prevented by the
intervention of a person who happened to be in the
house at the time. She presented it at me, and the
person alluded to struck her arm down, and thecon-
tents were lodged in the floor of the room.
" Upon finding that she was shot, I attempted to
get out at the hack door, to give the alarm, which I
could not do in consequence of its being locked and
the key not in the door (the front door was gene-
rally kept locked). I cannot say by whom the key
was removed. I then flew to the front parlour win-
dow, out of which I got and jumped over the gate,
and went to the cottage opposite to give the alarm.
I there saw a man, who I believe went for some
others of his neighbours, but I was almost insen-
sible from the effect of the blows. This man, with
some others, returned with me to the house. We
entered by the parlour window. When I first went
to this man, as well as I can recollect, I stated that
an alarming accident had happened, and begged of
him to come over with me to my house.- After we
got in the house I sent immediately for a surgeon,
who, upon his arrival, saw the state in which my
head was, which at that time was bleeding pro-
fusely ; but before the arrival of the surgeon I stated
to the men who returned to the house with me: the
circumstances connected with the accident, and the
manner in which it occurred. I did not state to any
one that the gun with which the accident happened
was up stairs, by my heti-side, because the long gun
was there, and is so at this time if not removed. I
never kept the short gun up stairs. I stated, as was
the fact, that it was in the corner of the room in
which we were sitting, and which was the usual
place in which the gun stood.
" This is a true account of this dreadful catastro-
phe, but at the same time that I lament the fatal
termination of the struggle for the gun, I am fully
persuaded that it was the intention of my wife to
shoot me, as she had before attempted to do so."
It appears from the testimony of one of the per-
sons who will be examined on the trial, that the de-
ceased had formed an improper intimacy with a man
of the, name of Prosser, about three or four months
after their removal to Cheam, who was employed
fisbatyriiilltieLceoxr,mt
iu the house to do some work as a plumber. He
soon after this became an inmate in the house, and
has on several occasions been detected in an impro-
per situation with the deceased. Previous to this
time the parties had lived comfortably together, but
upon these circumstances coming to the knowledge
of the husband, he was, as may very naturally be
conceived, irritated, and upon several occasions re-
monstrated with the deceased upon the impropriety
of her conduct, and upon these occasions she uni-
formly behaved with the greatest violence, striking
him with a poker, breaking the chairs, and destroy-
ing every thing within her reach.
In addition to the above particulars, we insert a
verbatinz copy of a letter found in the house by the
officer who took the prisoner into custody :
" SIR,—I have taken the liberty of sending you
these few lines, as I have been informed that you
have left your lodgings, and are now lodging at
Lower Cheam, where I am informed you are court-
ing a virtuous girl, but you, false man, intend serving
her as you have served me; but if you have the least
regard for me, and act like a man, you will meet me by
the Lodge, on Thursday evening, by eight o'clock, in
Nonsuch-park. You are aware of the situation I am
in. If you do not meet me, I shall be under the dis-
agreeable necessity of calling upon you at your new
lodgings, where I certainly shall expose you as far as
ill my power, as I consider you are a gay deceiver,
and will walk with many, but I consider it is for Self-
interest. Then, false man, meet me once more.
You are well aware who lam ; therefore I shall re-
fuse to sign my name."
Addressed to—" Mr. William Prosser, at Mr.
Whitman's, Lower Cheam, Surrey."
