The said trial took place at Kingston assizes, on the 2nd of April, before Mr. Justice Bayley. After Mr. Gurney had stated the case, Mr. Thomas Powell, surgeon at Battersea, gave the following evidence:—“On the morning of the 8th of January last, I received a communication which induced me to go out shortly before seven o’clock. I went to the back of the Red House, Battersea, and found there but three persons, one of them lying on a board, wounded, with a coat or cloak over him. The wounded gentleman was taken into the house, and laid on a bed. I found him wounded on the right side of the belly. It was a small wound, into which I could have passed the point of my finger. There was a wound also on the left side. There was nothing to enable me to say it was a gun-shot wound, had I not known it from other circumstances; but it might have been produced by a bullet passing through the body. I immediately pronounced it to be a mortal wound. My answer to the inquiry of the wounded gentleman was, that it must prove mortal. He asked me, how long I thought it probable he might survive. I told him I could not speak positively, but I should suppose he could not survive more than twelve hours. The wounded gentleman, who told me his name was Clayton, requested that a clergyman of the Church of England might be sent for. The clergyman came, and I went into another room. I returned shortly after, when he begged that there might be no prosecution, and said that every thing had been conducted fairly and honourably, and that he was to blame, in being so obstinate as to refuse the apology which had been offered to him. At this time he was aware he could not live. About two hours before he died he desired that certain persons might be written to, and that it might be stated to them, that part of the quarrel was his being called a hypocrite. I asked him by whom. The answer was, ‘By the man who shot me, Lambrecht.’” Thomas Skinner was next examined.—“I work for the landlord of the Red House; and about half-past six o’clock on the morning of the 8th of January, when going to my work, I saw the flash of two pistols at one and the same time, and I heard the reports of both. I was nearly three hundred yards distant. I turned my back towards them, and one of the bullets appeared to pass me. When I went towards the place where the firing was, I saw four men bringing up a man on a board. They asked me if the house was open. I told them it was not, and they desired me to knock the people up. I did so; and then they brought the wounded gentleman up, and placed him in the house. He groaned very much, and said, ‘Don’t shake me.’” Several other witnesses were examined; and the following statement, signed by the prisoner, was put in and read:—
