Report of the case against John Byron, for the murder of Samuel Lupton, published in the Australian, 13 Oct 1825. CRIMINAL COURT. (Friday.) John Byron stood indicted for the wilful murder of Samuel Lupton on the 29th of May last. Joseph Haggars stated that he saw the deceased, Samuel Lupton, at a public house on the Parramatta-road, kept by one Jacob Isaacs, and that the deceased had not left the house more than fifteen minutes when the report of fire arms was twice distinctly heard; the first report was not noticed, being considered a nothing strange; shortly after the second discharge heard the prisoner's voice; prisoner said he had shot a man, and that it was for running away from the round house with a musket; the man was found about sixty yards from the watch-house quite dead; saw a musket lying about fifteen feet from him; went back to the round house, where was a pistol lying on a table, which had been discharged; prisoner said that he had fired the first piece when he returned, and procured another, which he also discharged; on examining the body there were a number of wounds, evidently occasioned by slugs or shot; prisoner at that time stated that deceased had taken hold of the musket in the round house, and said that he was as good a man as him (meaning the prisoner;) the latter replied if the piece was loaded he would have been a dead man, and thereupon ordered him to descend into a cell, which he refused to do, and on seeing the watchhouse door open, ran out, when prisoner took his pistol, followed him, and discharged it; he afterwards returned and procured a musket from the house, which he also discharged. Richard Robinson deposed that he was in company with deceased, on the Parramatta-road, on the evening of the 29th of May last, was proceeding from Parramatta to Sydney, when, on passing a round-house within three miles from Sydney, prisoner came out with a pistol in his hand and approached towards them, on looking witness in the face he observed you are not the man; he then looked at deceased and enquired who he was, he said, I will tell you who I am, you remember, I suppose, to have worked with me in loading stone for Jenny Muckle. Prisoner then remembered him, suffered both to proceed on their way, and returned back to his watch-house; deceased then said that it was a hard case to be stopped by constables, and that the prisoner Byron knew him to be a free man; the constable returned and asked what he was grumbling about, insisted on see ing his certificate of freedom, which deceased said had been left by him in Sydney. Prisoner said, if you cannot produce it I will take you in custody to the round-house. Not more than three minutes had elapsed from the prisoner leaving them the first time and his return, deceased and witness had some words together respecting his going in custody to the watch-house, but was at length prevailed upon to go; witness proceeded alone on his journey, about five minutes after heard the report of a piece fired, it appeared to proceed from the direction of the prisoner's round-house. The deceased was sober when accosted by the constable. Mr. Anthony Best—Knew deceased; three years prior to the day of his death he became a free man; he had always a remarkably quiet and peaceable temper. Some witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoner. The Jury, retired for about forty minutes, verdict—Not Guilty.
