on the 19th February last.
Ann Drew defosed, that she was the wife of Mr. W. Drew,
of Portugal-street, steticner. She was sitting in her parlour,
behind the shop, between eight and nine o'clock on the evening
of the 19th Febrnare. Her husband had just gone out, and the
dcor was closed. She heard the shop-door in a short titre open,
and she rose to see who it was, when a man immediately shut
the door to; at the moment the party advanced into the par-
lour, and holding a pistol up to her head, swore if she made any
noise he would blow her brains out. Witacas screamed out,
whets the man struck her a viiient blow on the held pith the
pistol, and she fell. Seeing the prisoner stand over her as if
about to strike her again, she rose op and struggled to keep him
off, when he again struck her five or six times with the pistol,
and left her. She became almost ineensible, and remained so
until one of her servants came. She saw no ether person tbrre,
and was now certain that that person was the prisoner. He w..s
brought to her room in two hours afterwards, when she instantly
recognized him. She was positive of his identity.
Mr. W. Dreveseid, he was fee owner cf the house and shop
in fitiestion. On the night of the rohl:esi he went cut shortly
before nine o'clock. Previons to *la he took about X 45 (rent,
his money-box, and left in it :lout 1.33, with a :rase and several
papers. On going out of his house he saw three men (one of
whom was the prisener standing near his hcase.• Ile titouelit
them suspicious charec.ere, and met pa aicelar notice of theme
by the aid of a gas-light. Upon his retarn hon-.e he found his
wife had been grossly injured, and his shoo robbed of the cash-
bee, Ste. Witness wen, -.vith an thEtesr to the Cart and Home,
Bow-street, and there saw a hoy whom he had before seen ex
the same evening standing near his heuse. He next went to
another public-house, at the corner of Brownicw-sweet, where,
out of forty persons, he selected the prisoner as one of the relay
be had seen standing between his ewe and Mr. Clarke's house
on that night: Two others of the party zesembled at the public-
house were also suspected, and, with IlawitMs, taken h..ck to
his house. They were shewn in separately before his wife, and
upon seeing' the prisoner she instantly declared hint to be the
person who attacked and robbed her.
Furzeman, the Officer, stated, that he took the prisoner and
two others into custody at the Sun public-house, and alarm•
panied him to the house of Mrs. Drew. Witness introduced
the two other men into the presencelsf Mrs. Drew ; but she did
not recognize either. Hawkins was next introduced, when ske
shook her head, and said, " That is the man."
The prisoner avowed his innocence, ma called foul' or five
witnesses, who gave him an excellent character. .
Mr. Justice PARK summed up the evidence, and the Jury,
without much hesitation, found the prisoner Gwiap—Death.
Mr. Drew immediately addressed the Coiat, in reteminend-
lag the prisoner to mercy.
Mr. Justice Panic said, he had no doubt the rectsnunendation
proceeded from the most humane motives. He could not, how-
ever, premise that it would be attended with much sedress, for
wherever cruelty, such as had in this case been pralitised, it
would be a false humanity altogether to affect pity for the
guihy party.
The Jury said, it was this feeling which had induced them to
withhold their recommendetioq.
