  Attempted Murder at St Mawes (Falmouth Packet July 9 1881)
  
  On Tuesday evening a great sensation was caused at St Mawes by the attempted murder of a well-known inhabitant, Mr William Jenkins, a pilot, by his brother-in law, William Lower, a boatman who resides in the same place, and who fired at Mr Jenkins, in a public thoroughfare, with a revolver three different times. The report of the firing was heard by a great number of people and the would-be murderer was soon surrounded by a most indignant crowd. It appears that Lower has from time to time treated his wife very badly, and she has taken refuge in the house of Mr Jenkins, and lived with her sister. She had since left him and refused to return to live with him again, and Lower, being jealous, had sworn vengeance against Mr Jenkins who is a kind hearted man. According to his own confession, Lower intended to murder him for a long time past, and he went about it in the most deliberate manner. Mr Jenkins went to the Fowey regatta on Tuesday, as pilot in the Wotton, of which he is part owner; and on returning to St Mawes in the evening, and after the passengers had been landed, he was walking home about half past Ten o'clock, when Lower stepped out from a recess, where he had hidden himself, drew a revolver, and shot him in the head. The ball entered the forehead just above the eye, and came out a little higher up. Mr Jenkins though stunned for the moment, did not fall, but started to run, Lower following him, who fired two other shots, neither of which, however, took effect. After running about thirty yards, Mr Jenkins fell against Mrs Kendall of the Fountain Inn, who was standing at the door with her husband. The blood was flowing very copiously from the wound and Mrs Kendall was soon covered with it. An angry crowd surrounded Lower and one of the men took the pistol from him. Mr Harding, surgeon, St Mawes was sent for, and was on the spot in a minute or two, and attended to the sufferer, and the wound, it is said, is not likely to endanger life unless erysipelas supervines. PC Crewes, who heard the pistol shots, came up and took Lower into custody, and brought him at once to Truro, and he was lodged in the County Police Station between two and three o'clock the next morning.
  
  During the morning the prisoner was brought before Mr J Hendy, county magistrate, and charged with feloniously shooting with a certain revolver, loaded with gunpowder and five lead bullets, against one Wm Jenkins, with intent in so doing, thereby, feloniously, wilfully, and with malice aforethought to kill and murder the said Wm Jenkins. PC Crews stated that he was on duty at St Mawes at about half past ten O'clock on Tuesday night, and heard three shots fired; he ran at once towards where the report came from, when he heard people shouting "There's a man shot", and calling for the police. When he came up the prisoner was standing in the mist of the crowd, and witness took him into custody and charged him with shooting at Wm Jenkins with a revolver, with intent to murder. Witness cautioned him as to what he should say in reply, but he said "I done it; I hope he is dead; I intended to do it this long time". Witness produced the five-barrelled revolver, which had been handed to him by a man name Wm James Thomas, who said in the prisoners presence "I took it from him". Witness examined the revolver and found three chambers empty and the other two chambers loaded with bullets. He found seven bullets in the prisoner's pocket of the same description as those extracted from the revolver.
  The prisoner was remanded to the 14th inst. Supt. Marshall acted as prosecutor.
  
  Attempted Murder at St Mawes (Falmouth Packet July 16th 1881)
  
  MAGISTERIAL EXAMINATION
  At the South Powder Petty Sessions, held at Truro on Thursday before Mr James Hendy, William Lower, mariner, St Mawes, was charged with having, on July 5th feloniously shot at William Henry Jenkins, a pilot, his brother-in law, with intent, and with malice aforethought, to kill and murder him.
  
  William Henry Jenkins stated that he was a pilot, and had lived at St Mawes for many years. The witness also resided there. Witness and Lower had married two sisters, and between the prisoner and his wife there had frequently been differences. He on one occasion deserted her, and was brought before the magistrates, but witness acted as peacemaker, and they lived with each other with occasional separations, until about five months since, at that time Lower's wife again left him in consequence of his conduct towards her and came to witness' house, where she resided for a short time, and then went to live with her mother and sister. Witness worked in No 2 Pilot Boat, and prisoner sailed with him up to about two month since, when he was dismissed for drunkenness. Since then the witness had frequently met the prisoner, and four or five weeks ago the latter asked him to see his wife and request her to send down the message she had promised. Witness attempted to convey the message but should not do so and went to the prisoner's house and told him so. They then walked down to the quay with Lower's son and Lower said the boy should never live "to pay that whore's debts", referring to his wife. This occurred on Saturday night, and he said he should call witness at five o'clock on the following morning, having previously intimated that he would "Do for the boy". Witness saw him at six o'clock the following morning and he said "I haven't done it; but never mind". They had frequently met since then and had short conversations. On Tuesday the 5th witness went in the steamer Wotton to Fowey regatta with his wife, prisoner's wife and her sister and mother. They returned to St Mawes about 9.30 in the evening and landed the St Mawes passengers and then went to Falmouth, finally returning about 10.30. From the quay witness could either of three roads to his house, but having overheard two men on the quay saying that the prisoner had been using threats towards him he did not take his usual route, but went by way of Collet' lane. The lane entered by wide steps, and witness had gone up two of them and had his foot on the third, when a shot was fired from a porch opposite, and a bullet struck him over the right eye. He turned towards the porch and threw his stick in that direction, exclaiming, "Oh! You Villain"! Prisoner then came out of the porch and fired another shot, and witness cried out "Lower has murdered me" and began to run. He looked back and saw prisoner following him, and immediately the latter fired a third shot, which witness heard whistle past. Lower still followed him until he came to Mr Kendall's public house about 60 yards from where the first shot was fired. Mr and Mrs Kendall were standing in the door, and witness, from exhaustion, fell into Mr Kendall's arms. Meanwhile the steamboat's crew had followed him from the quay. A doctor was sent for, and witness had been under his treatment ever since. He lost a quantity of blood. Prisoner had no questions to ask.
  
  John Sparks, marine engineer, William Kendall, licensed victualler, and William James Thomas, sail maker, also gave corroborative evidence.
  
  PC Cruse, St Mawes, stated that he heard people calling for the police and stating that a man had been shot. He found Lower in the midst of a crowd, and he charged him with shooting at Jenkins with intent to murder. He said, "I have done it I hope he is dead. I intended doing it this long time". He found seven bullets in the pocket of prisoner who was perfectly sober. He then brought the prisoner to Truro in custody.
  
  Dr Henry Harden St Mawes, proved being called on the evening of the 5th inst to see Jenkins, who was bleeding profusely from a wound in the forehead. The prosecutor had a very narrow escape and he was suffering a great deal from shock. He had been under his care ever since. The wound was such as could be caused by the bullet produced. Prisoner was then committed for trial at the Bodmin Assizes.
  
  Cornwall Summer Assizes - Attempted Murder at St Mawes (Falmouth Packet July 30th 1881)
  
  William Lower, 47, seaman was indicted for shooting at William Henry Jenkins, pilot St Mawes, with intent to murder him. The other count one into was a charge of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr St Aubyn MP prosecuted, assisted by Mr McCleod. Prisoner was undefended.
  
  William Henry Jenkins, Trinity House Pilot, residing at St Mawes, stated that he and prisoner, who was a mariner, also residing at St Mawes, married two sisters. Prisoner and his wife did not live very happily together, and had separated. On these occasions witness frequently acted as peacemaker. On the morning of 5th July witness went to Fowey regatta in the steamer Wotton. His wife, prisoner's wife, and her sister and mother, went with him and they returned to St Mawes about 10pm. When witness landed, in consequence of a conversation between two men he overheard, he did not go by the usual route but by way of Collett's land. He was proceeding up some broad steps forming the entrance to the lane, when a shot was fired from a doorway, the bullet striking him over the right eye, and glancing off the bone. He exclaimed "Oh you villain!" and threw his stick at the porch the direction in which he saw the flash. Immediately after the prisoner stepped out of the porch and fired another shot which missed him. Witness then shouted out "Lower has murdered me," and ran down the steps.
  
  Corroborative evidence as to hearing the shots and seeing the prisoner pursuing Jenkins with a pistol in his hand was given by John Sparks, engineer of the Wotton; Wm Kendall, licensed victualler, St Mawes and WJ Thomas, sailmaker St Mawes.
  PC Crews, St Mawes, state that he apprehended the prisoner and charged him with attempting to murder Jenkins. Witness cautioned the prisoner and he replied, "I intended to do it, I hope he is dead. I have intended doing it this long time". Witness found seven cartridges on the prisoner all filling the revolver produced.
  
  By the judge: Prisoner was perfectly sober.
  
  Mr Henry Harding, surgeon St Mawes, was called to see Mr Jenkins on the night in question, and he noticed the bullet mark over his eye, about three quarters of an inch above the eyebrow, and another hole about two inches distant where the bullet had appeared to have passed out. There was no doubt that the wound might have been caused by bullets like those found on the prisoner. If the bullet had struck Jenkins and inch lower the wound must have been fatal.
  
  Prisoner put in the following written statement:- For years past I have been subjected to a system of annoyance. My wife has neglected the children, spent my money, run me into debt, and wasted most of her time at William Jenkins house. I have often remonstrated with him about this, but to no purpose, believing as I did, and do still, that he is largely the cause of her thus neglecting her children, and wasting time and money. On the night in question, being on the quay, I heard Jenkins talking behind me, and I went across the quay towards Middle Lane, hoping to avoid him as he was walking towards Kendall's house at the time. But he changed his direction and came after me, and as he was close behind me, on reaching Middle lane, I turned into a porch to let him pass. Just at that moment it came into my head to frighten him. No sooner said than done. I drew out a pistol that I had been carrying for some weeks previously, and, as I thought, fired over his head. He ran away and I followed, firing two more shots in the direction of the sea, a totally different direction from that in which he was running. Thomas then came behind me and took hold of me around the two arms and tried to take the pistol from me. I said to him "Mind the pistol, there are two charges in it now; I have not hurt any person and I do not want to hurt any person".
  
  His Lordship, in summing up, said he would leave it to the Jury to decide what were a man's intentions if he fired three times with an instrument which his lordship was sorry to say was coming so much into use, and was scarcely ever used for any good purpose at a man, hitting him once, one of the bullets whizzing past his ear, and another, the witness thought, passing between his legs? Neither bullet appeared to have been guided above Jenkins head. What inference could they draw when a man fired three times in the direction of which the witness spoke, and who used the expressions the policeman said he did?
  
  The jury, after a few seconds' deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of the first count with firing with intent to murder. Prisoner in reply to the usual question, said it was not his intention to shoot Jenkins; he only wanted to frighten him. His children were starving through the prosecutor, and he had had nothing but bread for a fortnight, and there was no fire in his house when he committed the deed.
  
  His lordship said it was a grievous thing to find a man in the prisoners' position, but he had not the least doubt that the verdict of the jury was quite right. Had it not been for a providential intervention, and no thanks to the prisoner, he would have been standing there on trial for his life. If Mr Jenkins had died, nothing would have saved him from the gallows; he must have sentenced him to death, and it would have been carried out. Still he was guilty of a very grave offence; he was guilty of murder as far as intention could make him guilty, and though he had taken into consideration everything that could be urged in favour, he must pass a long sentence. He was liable for his offence to be sentenced to penal servitude for life, but he would be sentenced to penal servitude for 15 years.
  Prisoner seemed quite overcome by his sentence, and made some incoherent observations towards the prosecutor to the effect that he had disturbed him and his wife and family.
