"TILE FATAL DULL AT BATTERSEA."

and the prisoners, R. W. Lantoreehr, F. Cos, and H. Bigley.
were placed at the bar and severally arraigned : Mr. Bigley surrat.
dered the preceding evening. They severally pLaded Not Guilty—
The jury were then charged with them. The indictment charged,
that Richard William Lambrecht did, on the Bth of January, f..
lonionaly assault Oliver Clayton, and with a leaden bullet inflict a
wiiund on his right side, of which he died ; and that Frederick Cox
and Henry Bigley were present, aiding and assisting in the said fe.
lonious act, and that R. W. Limbrecht, F. Cox, and H. Bigley,
are guilty of murder.
Mr. GURNEY, for the prosecution, stated the facto. of the cast,
which, as they are already well known to our readers, and were also
detailed in evidence, we shall not dwell upon in this place.
The Learned Counsel then celled the following witnesses :
Thomas bagel': exarnii.ed—l am a surgeon at Battersea ; on the
Bth of January I was sent for to the back of the Red House, and
found three per. there ; one of them was lying on the ground
wounded, and shortly after he was conveyed to the Red House, and
laid on a bed ; I examined him, and found a wound on the right
side of his belly; it was a small wound, and was such as might
have been produced by a bullet passing through the body ; there
was another small wound on the opposite side ; I at once perceived
it to be a mortal wound; the wounded gentleman asked my opinion
as to the nature of it, and I told hint it must prove mortal ; he
then asked me how long I thought it probable he might survive,
and I told him I could not speak positively, bat that I was induced
to believe he could no: survive lorger than twenty-four hours. I
then administered some medicine to alleviate the pain, after which he
requested a Clergyman of the Church of England might attend
him. The Clergyman came soon afterwards and I left them toee.
thee ; when I returned Mr. Clayton made a statement to me to this
effect :—He begged there might be no prosecution; he said every
thing had been conducted fairly and honourably; that he was to
blame in being so obstinate as to refuse the apology which had been
offered.

By the JUDGE—Did he not mention scm:ebody who had tried to
prevent the duel ?
Not at that time. He then had no expectation he would survive.
I saw him again in the course of a quarter of an hour, when he
expressed the greatest possible anxiety about Mr. Byrne, saying
that that gentleman had used every exertion to prevent him trom
going out. About two hours before he died he desired that certain
persona should be written to, and the first cause of the quarrel stst d
to them to be that he was called a hypocrite. I asked him by
whom ; and he replied, by Lambrceht, the man who shot -ne.
When I first went to the Red House Mr. Bigley was one of the
persons present atteicling Mr. Clayton. Mr. Clayton died shortly
after seven of the saute evening. I have no doubt his death was
caused by the wound.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—You said Bigley was at
he the Red House; did not exhibit all fie anxiety and wretchedness
which a n.an could do for his friend on seeing hint in that blunt.

by Mr. ADOLPHUS—The ball I heard must
have proceeded from the pistol of the wounded man. There was a

which the ball passed, which whizzedyanmdior ear.
