Committal OF WILLIAM DAVIS

_____________________________

Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle,

Monday September 12th 1842, page 4

________________________________________

Recommittal of William Davis -- The final examination the soldier William Davis, of the 6th Regiment, for shooting at, and killing, Stephen Clasby, the junior mate of the York, convict hulk, on the 2nd instants whilst on duty as guard at Haslar, took place on Thursday last, at the Town Hall, at Gosport, before Wm. Page, and E.P. Samuel, Esqrs. The evidence previously given against the prisoner was again read over and sworn to, and the following additional produced: -- James Cooper, an excavator, deposed that he was at work on the day of the unfortunate occurrence in a dirt barge, with other men, in Haslar Lake; that he saw the deceased who had charge over the men at work in the barge, as well as of the convicts, walking with his arms behind him in a direction towards the barge; that the prisoner was walking about with his hands folded, and his gun by his side; that he saw the prisoner point his gun and level it, and heard the report, and saw the deceased fall; that the deceased was walking in a sideway direction to the prisoner and quite slow at the time, and was about 25 yards from the prisoner; that the witness was about 100 yards from the deceased, and did not hear the prisoner call out at all before firing, and that from the situation he (witness) was in, if he had done so, he must have heard him; that after the deceased fell he (witness) got out of the barge. and ran to the

prisoner as quickly as possible and asked him why he had shot the deceased, to which he replied, I did not shoot him, but he shot himself '' that witness said "You did shoot him," and the prisoner then said I do not care, he was on my post;" that the corporal of the guard afterwards took the prisoner's gun away and examined it, and it proved to have been recently discharged; that the deceased when witness went to him, was lying on his right side, and witness lifted up his head twice and found he been shot through the left side of the head, and that the ball had passed out of the right side, and blood was flowing from both sides of the head, but mostly from the right. -- Dr. Richardson, Inspector of Haslar Hospital, proved that he was coming out of Haslar Gates and heard a person calling out that one of the guards had been shot by a soldier; that he went to the spot where deceased was lying, and found him quite dead; that there was a wound right through the deceased head, such as would be caused by a musket ball, and which was the consequence of the deceased death. -- Corporal Loftus, who placed the sentinels, swore that his orders from the keepers were not

(continued)

to allow any convict to pass out field, or across the lake, unless accompanied by a keeper; that he repeated these instructions to the sentinels (Davis among the number) and added, "I also told the sentries, that if any convict attempted to make his escape, and persisted in so doing after being called to, they were to give an alarm and fire." The prisoner in his defence made a very incoherent statement, evidently indicating a disordered state of mind, pretending that on the morning of the day he was in bed in the barrack room, and other soldiers were also in bed in the room at the time; that it was about day light and he saw a convict and the deceased in the room; that the soldiers were afterwards called up by a sergeant to prepare for guard; that he found himself weak and wet in the morning, and blood was running down his trousers to his feet, and that he also found it so on the post he was stationed at, and that the two men assaulted him in the room in the morning. -- No evidence, medical or otherwise, was offered, shewing that the prisoner was previously incompetent to his duty, .although rumours are afloat that such was the case; that the man had been seriously affected by a coup de soliel (sic) while on his sixteen years service, and that he was regimentally understood to be fit for nothing more than a ram-rod sentry: if this be true, it will be elicited by the military commission now sitting. -- The Magistrates committed the prisoner for trial at the next Assizes for Manslaughter.
