CHRONICLE. 



Monday morning, Jan. 12, in a 

 field near Chalk-farm. 



Mr. O'Callaghan, who shot the 

 deceased, was put to the bar, as 

 likewise were the two seconds. 



Mr. George Rodd, the surgeon, 

 of Hampstead, now attended, and 

 stated, that he was sent for on 

 Monday morning with great 

 speed, to go to Mr. Adams's house, 

 in England's -lane, to attend a 

 gentleman, who had been severely 

 wounded. He arrived at Mr. 

 Adams's house about 10 o'clock, 

 where he saw a gentleman who 

 had been wounded lying on a 

 sofa; he proceeded to examine 

 the wound, and he found a ball 

 had penetrated on his right side 

 very nearly in a line with his 

 navel. He proceeded to examine 

 him on his left side, when he dis- 

 covered that a ball was resting 

 between his skin and the muscles. 

 He succeeded in extracting the 

 ball, and then dressed the wound. 

 The three prisoners were present 

 in the room at the time he ex- 

 amined the wounds of the de- 

 ceased. After Lieutenant Bayley 

 died, he opened the body, and 

 found his intestines had been 

 wounded in three different places, 

 and which he had no doubt had 

 caused his death. 



Mr. William Adams, who has 

 acted so humanely in this shock- 

 ing transaction, attended again, 

 and in addition to his testimony 

 of Monday night, stated, tliat 

 after the deceased had called Mr. 

 O'Callaghan to him, on the sofa, 

 shook hands with him, and said 

 every thing had been conducted 

 in the most honourable manner, 

 and that he forgave him : he 

 asked Mr. O'Callaghan if lie 

 would have done the same by 

 him if he iiad wounded him. To 



this Mr. O'Callaghan replied, 

 most certainly, he should have 

 acted as he had done ; and 

 followed up the observation by 

 saying, I wish I had been wounded 

 instead of you. Mr. O'Callaghan 

 appeared much affected, and said, 

 you touched me in the first fire 

 we had on one of my legs by 

 what is called a graze, and ex- 

 hibited his trowsers and boots, 

 when it appeared that a ball had 

 passed through both the legs of 

 his trowsers and one of his boots. 

 He saw the deceased, Lieut. 

 Bayley, shake hands very heartily 

 with Mr. O'Callaghan. 



The three prisoners were order- 

 ed to be detained in custodj\ 



On the application of an attor- 

 ney, engaged for the prisoners, 

 Mr. Birnie agreed to their under- 

 going another investigation pre- 

 vious to their commitment for 

 trial, and the Attorney wrote to 

 i\Ir. Adams, requesting it as a 

 favour, that he would attend 

 again yesterday evening, at 

 seven o'clock, at which hour the 

 three prisoners were brought 

 again to the office, and Mr 

 Birnie having taken his seat, three 

 Barristers, Mr. Nolan, Mr.Arabin, 

 and Mr. Gould, attended: their 

 arguments went first to show that 

 the prisoners should be bailed, 

 but their application failing, they 

 simply asked that they should 

 not be committed to Newgate ; 

 but be allowed to remain in the 

 watch-house, as the more com- 

 fortable lodging, till the result of 

 the Coroner's Inquest should be 

 known. 



Mr. Birnie said he had a pub- 

 lic duty to perform. Li answer 

 to arguments of the learned coun- 

 sel, he quoted the case of Mont- 

 gonierie and M'Namara, in which
