The Surgeon proved his death was by fuffocation.— Bat the quellion would be for the Jury, who the perfons were who were the 'cattle of that violent death ? That the witness for the profecution; who had given filch . a cireurrsiantial account of it, was one of tbofe perfons, and concerned in the whole of the ttanfadions, was perfedly clear upon his own ac• .count, and the next quellinn would be whether the men et the bar gape the blows, and ailed as the accomplice had Rated; whether they were concerned with Hanfield in committing this murder? And in order to make him a competent witness on this occa fion, he had the pardon of the Crown for an offence for which he was fentenced to be tranfported ; there fore he was the petfon on whole Icilimony foners mull be convicted, if the Jury thought fit to rely on that teßimony. He was a competent witntfs to be lure; but his evidence was to be received with caution and with jealoufy ; and unlefs the Jury could pace a reliance on his teftimony, by comparing it with other facts which did not depend on that (Al mon'', but .which corroborated it, the Pr Wooers could not be found guilty. The queflion therefore was, whether Hanfield was corroborated by other tent. mony that was beyond fufpicion ? Here the Judge fummed up the whole of tht evidence moll accurate ly, and made very temperate and pettedly impartial obfervations on the cafe ; pointing out moll clearly and diftindly to the Jury, the points on which the merits of the cafe chiefly turned, and leaving. theta to draw a conclufi'n for themfelves on the guilt or innocence of the prifoners.

As he did not find him at his houfe at Feltham, and as it was fufreed fome acci dent had befallen him, he, Allied by fome other per lons, proceeded to fcarch the Common. He there found his brother in I tw's great coat, which was drab coloured. It was in s gravel I'it, and covered almoll entirely with rullies. One of the perfons who affifled him, found a dead body on the other tide of the Heath, and, upon examining it, the witnefs knew it to be the body til Mr. Steel. It was found about 200 yards on the right hand fide of the road, and about double that distance ftom the barracks. Henry Man by found a hat, and one or two pieces of har, which he In ought to the IA itnek This hat was trot Mr. Steel's, who was in the habit 'of writing his name in his hat ar full length. • On his cr.fs-examination by Mr. ANDREWS, he (head That a reward of Sol. had been offered for the difenvery of the nitirJeierq. Henry Manhy, who was infpeenr of Mr. Steel's works at Feltham, proved that his mailer left that place on Saturday the 6th of November, (heifed in a drab great coat and half boots. His hat was not quite a new one. i-le had not much property about him. He to. Ir fome filver with him when he went away, perhaps thirty levee Millings. The witnefs allilled in fearching the Heath on the Wednefday foi -1 •wing, and found the hat mentioned by Mr. Mayer o i the right hand fide of the road going to town, near rte third clump of trees. He alfo law the great coat f .0 n d in the gravel pit, and which he knew to be Mr. Steel's. He had helped him on with it when he went away on the Saturday evening. There was fome blond upon one Moulder of the coat. Wm. Hughes aflilled in the fearch made for the body of Mr. Steel, and was the perfon who found it in a ditch near the clump of trees, with the bank pulled down which covered it. The body was lying on the back, the flap of the cnat over the face, and a leather flrap drawn very tight round the neck.— l'he face was covered with blood and mud. The witnefs alto law a hat, great coat, and fl ick, which were found on the Heath. He aim faw a pair of Shoes, which he himielf found about fifty yards from the body. There were no 'hoes nor boots on the feet of tae deceafed, nor any hat on the head. Henry Frog:fen, Surgeon, faw the body of the de• ceafed at the Ship, at Hounflow, on the loth of No vember, afro it had been found on the Heath. He dircovered a large fraeture on the front of the head, and a large laceration of the integuments, which ap peared to have been produced by a flick, or fome blunt intlrumenf. There was a large wound and laceration of the integuments on the back part of the bead alto; blithe did not perceive any fraelure there. Much injury appeared to have been done to the neck by the upplic ttion of a leather tire!), which would of itfell have produced firangulation. There was like wife a large bruife on the upper part of the tight arm, which appeared to have been the etre& of a blow with a flick, or other blunt infirument. He was of opinion that the blow on the head was the immediate cattle of tlr. Steei's death. Benjamin flanfield, the informer, was then called; but before he was brow' ht into Court, Mr. Guam ET oblet ved, that he had jute fcen the pardon which had been granted under the Great Seal to this man, and that it was not, as had been reptefented, a general pardon. The pardon was then read by the Clerk. Sir St NION LEBLANC obfetved, that it was merely a pardon for an offence cf which he had been guilty, and condemned to tranfpnttation, and that the wit nefs flood precitely in the fame fhuation as any party who came to give evidence relpefling a crime in which he had been concerted. Benjamin Hanfield being fworn, gave his evidence in a very dittinet and apparently correa manner. He Rated, that he had known Haggerty for eight or nine ?ears, and Holloway frr fix or feyen. He had been frequentiy in their company before the month of No vember, 1802, and tried to meet them at the Tut k's Head, and at the Black Mee, in Dyot-fireet, St. Giles's ; and at the Black Dog, the corner of Belton itreet. One da) in the beginning of November, Jchn Holloo ay came to him at the Turk's Head, called, him out, and atked him whether he bad any rbjeition to he in a go'd thiwg. The witnefs replied he had none, hut afkrd when and where? Holloway re plied be would tell him in a day or two ; but that it was to be a lew Y oby (a footpad robbery). On the Tiiurfday before the 6th of November, the witnefs l a w Holloway (landing in Dynt-ttreet, went to him, and afked him whether he was ready for what he had pi ()poled ? Holloway ('aid, he was, and that it fhould be done on Saturday. He alto informed the witnefs that Owen Haggerty was to go with them. fit agreed r. meet at the Bleak litafe on Saturday. The wititete welit there according to this appointment. lie Itaind there the two pi ifoners, and Holloway roll them they were to ferry (rob) a Gentleman on Hounflow Heath, whom he knew to have property : ben: i ia o . Before they left the Black Boric they drank 1. ntetliittle. They then proceeded out of town by the way of Hyde Park come:, ;tad again had fame porter at a honk at Turnhain Green. When _ they arrived at littunflow they went into a public shatfe en the left hand tide of the way from town, eehich the witnefs did not then know, but tince learned to the fign of the Bell. After four o'elbek they left the Bell, and proceeded on the Heath to the mile (tone on the way to Felthar:. As they walked aleng, they c' nvet fed, and forrtettenes talked of their plojeet. They hoped they would be lucky and get a good booty. When they cattle near the it mile (lone Hollowaytaid they were rather too loon; they therefere went off the road to a clomp of trees, and lay down for about an honr. It wasdark when theywent to theclump of trees, but after they were there,the moon role. This clump of trees is on the left hand of the toad from town. Having got up, and looked round them, they walked about for half an hour longer, and then the an, which had before !hone clear, began to 'be - _ light colonred coat. When T dared him to flop, I alto ordered him to deliver his money, which he laid he was willing to do, and hoped that he would not be ufed ill. He put his hand in his pocket, and gave Haggerty, who had got between him and me, fomething, but 1 know nor what. Holloway alked whether he had delivered his book, and I demanded 'it. He laid, he had got no book. Holloway infift ed that he had, and Paid, that if he did not deliver it up, be would knock him down. The deceafed again declared that he had no book; upon which Holloway immediately knocked him down with a Nick which he had in his hand. I then laid hold of his legs, and Holloway flood with his flick over his head, proteßing that if he made any refinance, or cried aloud., that he would knock out his brains.— The deceafed repeated he hoped we would not ill treat him. Haggerty then proceeded to fearch him, when the deceafed made Pane refinance, and being very ftrong, he firuggled fu hard, that he got up, and had neatly crolfed the road. We got him down again, and as Haggerty was proceeding to fearch the fecund time, we heard die found of a cart iage.— The deceafed then began to ftruggle as before, and to call out ; upon which Holloway Paid, " I will (Hence the b—r," and, railing his flick, gave him feveral revere blows upon the head and body. The flick which Holloway had was a large crab thorn flick Upon receiving the blows, the deceafed gave a deep groan, and in a few minutes after another groan, and at the fame time feemed to firetch out lifelefs.— I was at this time on my knees holding the deceafed's legs. I became alarmed at what 1 law, and I role and Paid to Holloway—" You have killed the man." ' 1 No," replied Holloway, " he is only Runned."— I laid I would flay no longer, that I would go on towards London, and that they might follow me." The witnefs then went on to (tate, that he turned about and walked towards Hounflow. The found of the carriage wheels had by this time gone pall. The found was like that of a heavy coach, and it appeared to be about the dillance of thirty yards. The murder, he laid, took place beyond the barracks. He had !ince pointed out the place to JohnVickery and Mr. Hughes. When he arrived at Hounfh , w, he flopped there about an hour, at the farther end of the town. Both of the prifoners came up to him there, and they feem ed nearly nut of breath. Holloway laid, they had done the trieL. The witnefs anced him whether he was in emelt, and he lard he was, and, as a token, I raid, " hold that," putting into the hand of witnefs a hat. It was a fine hat, and not that which Hollo way wore when he went to the Common, which was an old one, like a foldier's. It refembled a hat which had been (hewn to him as one found on the Heath, and that hat alfn correfponded with the defcription of Holloway's, which he had given to Vickery. They croffed into another road, in order to return to Lon don, and on their way the witnefs Paid to Holloway, " This has been a cruel piece of bufinefs, and I am lorry I have had any hand in it." He alto Aced Holloway what he had done with his own hat ?1 and he intimated that he had thrown it away, and defaced it fo as it might not be known. In moiling the fields, witnefs alked Haggerty whether he had got the book ? Upon which Holloway Paid, " It is nothing to you—as you did not (hare in the danger, yrm (hall not (hare in the fpoil." When they got to Dyot (tract, it was twelve o'clock, and then they went to the Black Horfe, and had a pint of gir. When Haggerty went out he Paid, he believed his (hoes would Randy lall him to go to Hounflow ; but the witnefs did not obferve whether lie had on (hoes when he returned. Next day the witnefs faw Haggerty with a hat on his head which he knew was not his. It was a good one, but (zeroed rather too (mall for him. He faid it was the hat lie got the night before, and (hewed it to the witnefs, who law Mr. Steel's name in the infide of it. The witnefs then cautioned him againtt wearing the hat, as it might lead to a di C..very. At lett he gave it up ore evening after, while at Weftminfter, to the witnefs, who filled it with hones, faftened the lining over them, and threw it from the bridge into the Thames. In 'aft September the witnefs was convicted of a larceny, and fentenced to tranfportation. In purfu ance of his fentence, he was removed to Langftone harbour, where Vickery, the Police Officer, came down (or him in confequence of (omething he had laid in Newgate, and brought him to London. On their way to town. he pointed out to Vickery the place where the murder was committed, but the latter prevented him from Paying any thing, as there were feveral other perfons on the top of the coach. Mr. Atioaaws crofs-cximined the witnefs with a good deal of ingenuity, but without being able to in volve him in any contradiction or even incontinency. There was a certain air of candour in the manner in which he delivered his evidence, which was cal culated strongly to imp:efs a belief in the truth of his ftatements. He laid, to Mr. Andrews, that he had made no memorandums to refrefh his memory. The compnations of his confcience were fufficient for his recolleClion. The firs time he (poke about this affair war in Newgate. Several perfons there were talking of various robberies and murders which had been committed, and among the red, the prefent cafe was mentioned. He then laid, that there were only I three perfons in the world who knew of the murder I of Mr. Steel ; upon which a rumonr prevailed in the jail that he was going to turn sofa Inln confequence of this report he became afraid, and Paid no more about it. When Sir John Carter, who had heard of this, fent for him at Portfnaouth he made a full de clatatiun to him. He acknowle dged that he had fre quently lived by thieving, and that he had deferred from four or five regiments. Mr. ALLEY thought it right to interpofe, and put a flop to this fort of examination. Sir SIMON La &sac laid, that the witnefs cer t tinly was not obliged to anfwer queftions that tended to render him liable to military punithrnent. He was at liberty to refnfe to anfwer them if he pleafed. To the next queflion of that kind put by Mr. Andrews, the witnefs immediately laid, " I do not choofe to anfwer you." Vickery, the Police Officer, corroborated the laft witness's evidence, as to his baring pointed out the place where the murder was committed, He appre that he could with difficulty articulate an anfwer to the laa queftion ; but when the Advoiral allted him where he was four years ago,his countenarce hidden : ly altered, and he would have fallen back, had not the witnefs fupported him. Hanfield had given the witnefs a defcriptinn of a hat, which •he laid was worn by Holloway, and a flick, alfo belonging to that prif‘.ner, and the defcliptions anfwered to the hat and slick found on the Heath, which Hanfield had no opportunity of teeing, ur being made acquainted with. John Smith, who drove the Golport coach on the 6th of November, paired Hounflow Heath that night about eight o'clock, and when at the t r mile Rosie, heard two deep groans, which teemed to come from behind him, and towards the right h Ifaac Clayton, the Beadle of Helnflow, received a hat, a pair of lames, and a flick, which were found on the Heath, and which he delivered to Sir R. Ford. When he was at the Worthip-fireet Office in December lati, he recollefled that Le had Len Holloway fix years before at Hounflow, at the Bell. He (poke to him ; but the prifoner laid he had never been at Hounflow. The witnefs reminded him that he was there pulling turnips, in company with a namefake of his own, a man called Oliver, with a wooden leg. The pi ironer admitted that he knew Oliver, but petrified in raying he had never been at Hounflow. Blackman, a Bow-greet Officer, depofed, that he had Peen the prifoners and Hanfiad together at the Turk's Head, in Dyot-ltreet. about the time of the murder. On one occafion, Blackman laid to Hollo way, " You have been in a good thing lately." To which he anfwered, " No, 1 have tied it all up now," meaning that he had given up thieving. He alfo faid that he had been working with a plaitteter at Houn flow. _ _ Several other officers pr.lved that the prifoners and Hanfield had been acquainted wi.h each other. The landlords of the public bottles in Dynt itreet alfo de pofed that they had Peen them together in their tap rooms, but could not tell whether they were in the fame company or not. John Sawyer, who lived at the Bell at Hounfl.,w, in Nov. ritoz, and left that place in the March fol. Iwore that he had frequently feen the pri foners at H3unflow. The perfon of Hanfield he did not recoiled. _ John Nares, Efq. one of the Magiffrates of Wor fhip-ftreet, Rated the manner in which ;re had exa mined the prifoners. He eaamined them apart. Haggerty denied all knowledge both of Holloway and Hanfield, Holloway faid he knew Hanfield, bat that he had never been at any public houfe with him, excepting it was after he came out of prifon in 1804. He bid he had known HaggeFty for about two years, but had never been in any public houfe with him and Hanfield at the fame time. Both pri foners dcfcribed themfelves to have been working with different perfons in November 18c2, but upon an enqoiry, and confronting thole perfon with them their affertions were found to be falfe. One of the Police Officers, named Bifhop, gave an account of converfations which he had overheard betv. een the prifoners, while they were feparately confined in the two flrong rooms of the Worthip ilreet Police Office; thefe rooms join, and the prifoners called to each other. The witnefs was lo situated, that h e could hear what they laid when arty fpoke loud, and he took notes of what he heard. Ile read thefe notes to the Court. The greater part of the converfation confined of exccraticts again( the accomplice Hanfield, but fome words were dropped which were I of importance. The officer, it apps red, littened af ter the. dole of each examination. Haggerty ob- I ferved to Holloway, that Hanfield had told about public houfes in which they were. He alfo afked I whether he had faid he knew him ; as for his part he had denied all knowledge of Holloway. On another occafion, Holloway faid, " where did he (Hanfield) fay we had the gin ?—At the Black Horte."—Hag- I gerty, " We mull have got it there." Mr. Robinfon, a hatter, knew the fiae of Mr. Steel's head, and laid that his hat might have been worn by Holloway, but that it would have been ra ther tight for him. Mr. Britten, a bootmaker, had examined the feet and legs of Haggerty,and was certain that Mr. Steel's boots would have fitted him. He was (hewn the old (hoes found on the Heath, which he faid had been worn by fome perfon for whom they were too large; and, compared with the font of Haggerty, they were too large. When the flick, hat, and (hoes were produced in the Court, the prifoner Holloway feemed evidently agitated. The Prifoners being called upon for t heir defence, Holloway laid," Pleafe you, m yLord, I am brought here, pleafe you, my Lord, on the word of Hanfield, who is an entire (ranger to me, pleafe you, my Lord. Ido not know any thing of the matter what ever, pleafe you, my Lord. I have ken the man, pleafe you my Lord, in the flreet, and that is all I know of him ; and I think it very odd, when he gave information of me, that he could not give the right name of me, which be mull have done if be knew any thing of me, my Lord." Hagget ty—" My Lord, and Gentlemen of the Jury, I Rand here charged with an offence, of which I pro tell to GOD, I know no more than the child unborn —I hope you will take into confideration the charac ter of the witnefs, Hanfield, who has done this merely for the fake of getting his liberty : for that, he has done all y this. I hope you will take it into confideration. I am perfedly innocent of the crime which 1 am charged with. He has contradicted himfelf in feveral places ;he did fo on the fecund examination. I call on Mr. Juflice Nares to fay In ; and if you difpute my word, he will inform you of the fame." Mr. juflice NAM, however, proved, that the ac complice did not contradid bin:dell in any thing that was material. John Suter was called for the purpofe of contra. dieing fume things which the accomplice, Hanfield, Paid ; but he did not contradiet him in any thing, nor could he do In upon anything but hearfay. -The prifnner, Haggerty, appealed to the Gover. nor of his prifon, but Mr. ANDREWS declined to call I I • l' ..,
