The Express. — 1848-01-07 (London, England)

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 7, 1848. [3d.  that night. I swore at the inquest that I did not know who fired the shot, because I was afraid Ryan or his friend' would shoot me. I swore in my information on the 20th December that it was the prisoner who fired the shot. I did so because the gentlemen told me that I should be taken care of, and that Ryan or his friends should not be allowed to shoot me. I did not hear of the reward offered in this case. I expect nothing but whatever the gentlemen are pleased to give me. I left Kelly's service a twelvemonth before that night. Honoria Kelly, the widow of the deceased, was next called and sworn, but she did not know who shot him. She was in the house that night, but she did not see the man who fired the shot so as to be able to identify him. Alexander Heard, sub-inspector of police, was examined as to the circumstances attending the capture. On the 22nd of September he with a party of police went to Frewen's house on duty; he remained outside on horseback, whilst the men entered to search the house; but one of the men having uttered the exclamation" Puek," he, witness, jumped from his home and ran into the house : he saw the mural. of a blunderbus over the bed, it was pointed at the men, and Philips, the head constable' asked Ryan to give it up, saying that he had done enough of injury already: Ryan said, "Never fear, Mr. Philip., I'll not injure you." The prisoner also said, " I must have a shot." Witness then ordered the pollee to be at him—jumped on the bed, and grasped the muzzle of the blunderbuss, which was at the time close to his bruit. He, witness, also presented • pistol at the prisoner. The prisoner asked several times, " Will I fire I" Witness swore that if he attempted to do so, he would shoot him with a pistol. Philips then grasped the blunderbtts, and the prisoner was captured. Witness then identified Ryan. On turning round to do so, the prisoner nodded his head in salute, and with a familiar smile asked, " Hew do you do, Mr. Heard." Conetahle W. Fogarty deposed that the first witness told him the next morning that she had seen the prisoner and the other man on the night of the murder, as she stated. The witness was not cross examined. . _  After the examinatiodof the surgeon, proving the fact and cause of death, the case.for the prosecution closed. Mr. °llea addressed the jury for the defence. Re rested his case on the insufficiency of evidence, and mainly relied on the hesitation of the boy as to the identity of the prisoners. There were no witnesess produced for the defence. Mr. Bennet, Q. C., briefly replied on the part of the Crown. _  The Lord Chief Justice then charged the jury at considerable length. Ile recapitulated and .commented on the evi dente with muck descent'.  The jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner heard the verdict without betraying the slightest degree of emotion. The judges had assumed their black caps, and the Chief Justice was proceeding to pass sentence, when The Attorney-General applied that sentence should be deferred till next morning. The prisoner was concerned in another case, in which true bills were found by the grand jury, and it would be necessary to have him put forward with the prisoners in that cue. The court acceded to the application, and an order was given for Ryan's remand till nine o'clock on Thursday morning. ATTACK ON A Dwattirro-
