Extraordinary Attempt to Shoot a Police Constable
A sensational event in Marylebone saw a young man of fortune, William Kelly of Upper Baker Street, charged with being drunk and firing at Constable Richard Bourke in Portman Square. Bourke testified the prisoner aimed a pistol at him after a heated exchange, narrowly missing his head as the ball shattered a window. Witnesses noted delays and odd inquiries about the prisoner’s health and private interviews, with Inspector Tedman and Magistrate Mr. Rawlinson at the center of questions about the conduct surrounding the case.
