Page 2 Supreme Criminal Court. George Brown was indicted for the wilful murder of an aboriginal native female child, whose name was unknown, at Wellington Valley, on the 11th December last. The Attorney General stated the case, and called the following witnesses. Frederick Hambush deposed that, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 11th of December last, he heard the report of a pistol in an adjoining hut where the prisoner dwelt, and on going out, saw a little black girl, between 8 and 9 years old in the agonies of death, and the prisoner standing over her with a pistol in his hand; witness asked the prisoner what was the matter when he exclaimed "My God! I have shot a child by accident;" he stated there were several of the native children about the door asking for bread, that he told them to go away, which they would not do, and that he took down the pistol, which he did not know to be loaded, and resented it at them for the purpose of frightening them away, when his finger accidentally coming in contact with the trigger, it went off, and shot the child; there was one large hole in the back of the deceased's head, through which several slugs might have entered; life was extinct in a moment. Cross-examined. - Witness knows the prisoner for some time; he was always particularly kind to the black natives; about a quarter of an hour after this occurrence, the prisoner said that Broadhurst, the constable, from whom he had the pistol, told him it was not loaded; from what witness knows of the prisoner's character, and from his demeanor afterwards, he has, no doubt, that the occurrence was positively accidental. Other witnesses spoke to the same facts, and the Jury, under the direction of the Court, found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. Remanded. 1862.
