John Tarleton and Henry McCudden, settlers of Prospect, were indicted, jointly and severally, for the wilful murder of James Core, on the evening of the 29th of March last. The testimony of Mr. Surgeon MILEHAM was first taken as to the cause of death ; but the body of the deceased being in a state of putridity before the deponent was called upon to examine it, he could not see any thing that could lead him to conjecture the cause of his death. George Stanbury deposed, that on the evening of that day many persons were at his house at Prospect, among whom were the two prisoners at the bar; and observed that Henry McCudden was in a violent rage, and had a stick under his arm. Patrick Allen deposed, that he was at the house of Stanbury when the unfortunate event took place ; that he saw Tarleton strike the deceased with a stick in the yard, near the house, and saw him fall ; that about ten minutes after the deceased was reported to be in a dying state ; and that Tarleton, who did not appear to be much inebriated, immediately absconded. The deponent further said, that a general riot and confusion had subsisted the whole of the evening. Michael Connelly deposed, that on the evening stated he saw many persons engaged in a fight at Stanbury's ; and on going towards the house perceived McCudden to be running away, he being pursued by Tarleton, who having a stick in his hand, frequently desired him to return and fight like a man ; that he, the deponent, stopped and advised Tarleton to desist and be peaceable ; that the latter consented to do so, and the cause of quarrel being demanded by the deponent, Tarleton's answer was, that James Core (the deceased) had struck him, in consequence of which he had knocked him down ; that upon the report of the unfortunate man's death, he, the deponent, immediately accused Tarleton, who had absconded with several others. A quantity of blood he saw streaming from the ears of the deceased. —Being questioned as to the terms on which Tarleton and the deceased lived, he replied that he never knew or heard of any thing that could cause animosity on either side. John Moss deposed to his being present during the riot at Stanbury's house ; and seeing McCudden in an enraged state, in consequence of his man having received a blow or cut ; that he explained as he entered the house "the man who cut him that man will I kill." That the prisoner McCudden then went out at the front door, and struck the first man he met with his stick, namely, one Joseph Barnes.—That Tarleton then came to the house and inquiring of the deporent whether any of his men were there, went out and leaned against a chimney by the side of James Core, the deceased; that McCudden soon after went towards the chimney, and seeing Tarleton, levelled a violent blow at his head; which the latter stooping to avoid, it was received by the deceased, who instantly fell. McCudden again struck at Tarleton who had defended himself with a stick; and shortly after the unfortunate event of death was pronounced. The witness was very collected and, was perfectly sober at the time. He was conscious the blow received by the deceased had been intended for Tarleton, and that no malice had ever to his knowledge subsisted between the parties. Joseph Jones, servant to Stanbury, corroborated the last evidence by a narrative precisely correspondent; and here the evidence being concluded, the prisoners were put on their defense; which being gone through, Tarleton was acquitted, and McCudden found guilty of manslaughter:—he was therefore fined one shilling, and sentenced to be imprisoned six months. Sydney Gazette, 7 June 1807. George Stanbury, of Prospect, was also brought forward for indenting Mary Leary, a prisoner arrived by the ship Archduke Charles, and being convicted of a similar offence, under circumstances less unfavorable, was fined in the mitigated penalty of 5l.
