SMITH, Thomas (20, labourer), pleaded guilty of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Charles Hicks and Sarah Tuvey. To a further indictment of feloniously wounding Charles Darville with intent to murder him prisoner pleaded Not guilty; the prosecution accept the plea to the first indictment.

Mr. Sidney Clarke prosecuted; Mr. Roome appeared for prisoner.

It appeared that prisoner while under the influence of drink had gone through the streets firing indiscriminately from a toy pistol which had been given him by another boy and which he said he believed to be a dummy weapon; it was in fact capable of inflicting serious wounds and even of causing death. Prisoner expressed his contrition and declared that he had nointention of hurting anyone. There was no criminal record against him. He was released on his own recognisances in £10 to come up for judgment if called upon.

BEFORE JUDGE RENTOUL.

Hi
I am trying to find more information about my Grandads sisters husband, Thomas Smith on the following info i found on Google

The Times Tuesday June 6th 1911, Charge of shooting at Hampstead Heath, Thomas Smith 21, charged with shooting Charles Darvill, Charles Hicks, Sarah Tuvey, George Goldsmith hit on the Head,

I think the case went to the Old Bailey,
how do i find out more, about either the case.
or read the full Newspaper article,
or find out more about the people that were shot

Any ideas please
thanks
Bev
