3IURT)EBS AT GIIttNWICI4. NIAIDSTONE ASSIZES, Amy 51. i bothalf past seven in the morning the Court oecl in every part, so much so, tbat when the `4 ;l nd Offi cer s of the Court entered, they could tigi•room at the table. At eight o'clock iiieant LENS took his place on the Bench:-.. 4 0 1 being sworn, iiriseg was placed at the Bar; .he looked •;;T.:::2 amid and placid countenance, and did :ror manner appear to be such a person as the oar c harged him to be. He was well-dressed, , ;k cod and waistcoat, and grey pantaloons, ?par ed perfectly composed. He was arraign. i the charge d having, on the 7th of February. feloniously killed and murdered George Bird Marc Simmons, at Greenwich ; and also with .burglariousiy entered the dwelling-house of 13irJ, at Greenwich, and felOniously stolen s everal watches, a silver soup-ladle, a i i, ; e7, and several other things, the property Bird. OW the Clerk of . the Arraigns put to him the que ,ins,.“ G ui lty. or Not Guilty r and how r b e b e mcd, he answered with a firm tone, lite,"na he would be tried. by Goo and his After his arraignment he was removtd bar. rye proceeded to the trial of Richard C .' art w h o th sras p indicted for murdering, and also. ely killing and slaying Janes Terry, .in ; di of Teston. The prisoner was game-keeper Barham, at Barham Court; and the affair c onsequence of a dispute which took place ones the parties on the night of the llthof July, ' ' , ,ham Court. In this ca se the Coroner's Jury and a verdict of Manslaughter, bat the j ay after Wards found a true bill for murders, ,that charge he was tried. The Jury found ! prisoner Guilty of Masskaghter. The Court now proceeded, at about half past ten, Mal of Hussey. A large model of Mr. Bird's i f - , t e, and of the premises adjacent, were laid on table. lb. Bet lINS, on the part of the prosecution, open- Irk case charged in the indictment. ti c .:Serjeant Oust ow addressed the Court. He / thought it necessary to suggest, that, as this 4itst had been much discussed in public, the Jury a to lay out of their minds every thing they had id. This was the wish of Mr. Bird, who desired aJ prejudice might be removed from their. and that they should investigate the murder jam with, the greatest impartiality. There iso direct evidence to prove that the prisoner had. sully committed the muider ; but there were cir, murices which would appear to be as strong as evidence. The Learned Serjeant now pro cal to detail the facts of the case, and direct the mien of the Jury to the models that were placed cce:r, table, Mr. Bird was a very. old Gentleman, riedfrom business, kept one servant, and lived in amy lonely manner; the prisoner lodged at a hones orposim to that in which Mr. Bird lived, called the' Tiprs Ilead., Mr. Bird was a man of very regular habits, his custom was to have his slippers brought to Lira at nine o'clock, then to sup, and shortly after te go lola When persons entered the house on tan &elm, they found the supper things ready to be la.d retie table, and the old Gentleman's slip pers lying then; so that the time of the murders most have been about nine o'clock, just before the time when Mr. Bird nas in the habit of sitting down , to his supper. He nest commented on the account which Huwcy had given of the manner in which he got possession of the property found upon him, aid poiated out, from the state of the premises as eilibited in the model, how incredible his story must have been; how impossible it must have been for a bade to remain for a whole week undiscovered, in a place to which many persons must have had access, mil that st a time when Greenwich was like a fair. Reread two letters from Hussey, in which this story vagina, and in which Hussey said he had em b.r:ed for America, although he was afterwards Lea in the heart of England. In those letters he Lithe took up a bundle v.hich he,saw a man throw any—that he found the things in that bundle—left fat bundle bid in a corner for some days—afterwards coy it away, and quitted the place lest he should be inspected. Hussey had mentioned the places rite he alleslged he bad been on the evening of the emles ; but it would be proved td the Jury that le had not been at any of the plaCes. He said he lid been at the Club of Odd Fellows. Some mein- Gi that club would be called to prove that he Ed :At been there. /It would al se appear that his juin and gaiters had been gained with blood, and Math account he gave of that circumstance was ra true. On the Sunday he had been engaged to cue with his brother at Peckham ; but he broke his eillgernent, and kept lounging about Greenwich day, to hear what the people might say about teL murders. It would be shewn that the pm foxd on Hussey had been recently in Mr. ;Vs Puessiss. There was one very material cirenns rasa in this case; the murders must have been' committed by a hammer, and in a and near the, Poises, a hamme r tees found, which had been in lsorkshop to which Hussey had access. The night ef the minders w:s very foggy, the work of death ear very short, and a very little time had been oc cyred in the robbery. All thesm and many other uzienstances would be proved. Hussey, in one of'. 613 terss said, that William Hazleton knew nothing tsbont the murders ; how could he undertake to say 63 4 unless he hin:sull knew something of the busi -104? The Learned Serjcant concluded with recom 4ndinit to the Jury to lay every kind of prejudice te•st their mitt:ls, and attend only to the evidence. Mr. Thomas, the first witness, said he lived next am to the line Mi. Bird, in London-street, Green-'' %:t3. Mr. Bird was about 83 years of age, latterly caly ;she servant, ?lary Simmons, aged about 50. Oa Sunday the Sth of February, about 23 minutes lefore one at n run, the brother of Mr. Bird came' add gave him sonre information of his being alarmed, desin2d him to go to the back part of the pre mises; !to did so, and they found all the places fast— !lta ; t's.cy than ce;deavoured to pick the loch of the usat &or, but could not, as the key was on the in s`'; they then broke open another door near the of Mr. Bird's house, and they went through a IY-:-.; ; ;( to the back of the house, they found the door fait, chef 'raised the s :slt of the kitchen .Indow and broke open the shale s, and got into the kitchen. Witness went into a passage leading to the hall t he opened the hack door to let in sonic light; he then saw the body of Mary Simmons lying in the passage, with her head towards the stairs, and her feet to-' wards the street doors He stepped over the body, opened the hall window, and saw Mr. B!rd in the parlour lying dead on his back. He saw a vast 'quantity of blood in the hail near the centre of the body of Mary Simmons, and some appeatod to have been.removed by drawing the body ; her hand was cut, and her ear slit in two ; a part of the bannisters was broken. A candle was lying there, but not much of it was bu-nt. There was a candle and candlestick near Mr. Bird's knee ; the candle was broken, and between his body and left arm lay his spectacles; a purse and a lottery ticket were lying on the table; there was no watch in his fob ; his pockets were un buttoned and nothing in them. After the witness went up stairs, in a little room over the parlour, he observed a large tin box with a padlock on it, and, some papers loose &' , out the floor. Some of the drawers of the bureau were opened. Witness went into Mr. Bird's bed-room, where there was a double chest of drawers, and every drawer half open, will the things in them tossed about. On the bed there were two or three keys, and some marks of blood.— The bed was made and turned down, ready for sleeping. On opening the front door of the house, there was a chain, which did not appear to be hang ing on. The lock was a spring-lock, and it was only on the spring, as a person would leave it on going out. In the kitchen there was the servant's needle work, and the table-cloth folded in one corner, as if it were going to be used for supper ; there was a pair of slippers on the fender ; there were a t'ew roasted potatoes, and the tea-kettle was full of wa ter. Some plate had been taken out of one of the drawers in the, bureau. Cross-examined by Mr. NOLAN.—He knew the hour was near one, because the people were return ing from church. The bannists4 appeared broke, as if th e woman had laid hold of it. The w o und on the woman appeared as if inflicted by some blunt and sharp instrument. Most of the places/in the house appeared to have been examined. Richard Smith, Esq. one of the MagiAr!ses resid ing at Greenwich, was examined by the Costums 'Szeszasr. He said it was about one o'clock when information was given him of the affair in question, and be went immediately to the house. When he went ii\to the passage, he observed Mary Simmons lying on the floor ; there was a great deal of blood spread about the floor, as if the body bad been re moved ; the body, where it first lay, would have • been in the way of a person getting to the front door. He saw the bannister broken; a candle, of which very little had been buret, lay on the floor between the body and the window ; he went into a small par lour, and saw Mr. Bird lying dead ; this was a par lour which he was accustomed to sit in; his feat were near the door, and his head towards the fire place ; there was a little table upset behind the door; on another table he saw a pocket-book, Mr. Bird's pockets had been opened. He observed, on the lintel of the door, a mark as if caused by the blow of a hammer, and there was a stain of blood on the mad:. On the body of the woman he saw several wounds ; those of the man and the woman appeared to , have been inflicted with the same instrument, some of them with a hammerhead, and others with the sharp part of a hammer. Long after the prisoner was com mitted he saw the hammer which was found, and it must have been by such an instrument that the ',wounds were inflicted. There was a wound on each of Mr. Bird's eyes, and a fracture on the ba k of the skull; one of his eyes was beaten in. Mr. Bird had a bureau in his fruit room up stairs, and if he were at any time sitting the: e, a person at the Tiger's Head might see him ; there was a portable table with a cleik on i:; many papers were scattered on the flap of this table, and on the floor; they appeared as if they had been looked at in a great hurry. Witness saw a small se:ret drawer in the bureau opened, in it were found £3l in notes, and this drawer hal not been meddled with-by the robber. In another room witness saw some drawers open, there was some plate there which appeared to have escaped the notice of the person who opened the drawers ; the things in the drawers appeared to have been tumbled in a great hurry. Witness went up to two rooms on the attic story, and there every thing appeared to be tumbled about. Nothing appeared to have been dis turbed in the back parlour, there was some cake on the sideboard, and some wine in a glass, but rothing appeared disturbed. In the kitchen he saw the wo man's work, a man's slippers, and a table-cloth. On the 13th of March, two watches were delivered to him.—(Here witness produced the watches.) —They were delivered to him by a man named Godwin, to gether with a piece of broken buckle. lie was pre sent as a Magistrate when the prisoner was under examination, when the Clerk took down his 'deposi tion, which he afterwardi declined to sign, without giving any reason. Cross-examined by Mr. Asouturrs—The breaking i of the bannister could. not have been caused by a: person in an erect position ; about a dozen drawers, altogether must have been inspected ; it took witness about an hour to examine the different places. Wit ness could see Mr. Bird's premises from the top room and the street door of the Tiger's Head. Frederick Finch, a surgeon at Greenwich, era-. mined by Mr. BEARNS—About one o'clock on the Sunday he went and saw the body of Mr. Bird, who appeared to have been slaughtered in a most shock ing manner; there were two deep indentions, about the site of a penny-piece, on each side of the fore head, and a long fracture on the back of the head, appearing to have been caused by several blows re peated ; from one wound a portion of the brain ap- : peared to have escaped ; he was of opinion that it had been done with a hammer which had a sharp cutting edge and smooth face. He found on the head of Mary Simmons the nook of a blow on the os frontis, which alone would have caused death ; she had besides seven or nine wounds, all appearing to have been inflicted with the same instrument; they appeared as if caused by the cutting edge of the hammer. He since saw a hammer, and one of that description was exactly the one which would have in flicted the wounds ; there was one wound in parti cular, which seemed exactly to corres?ond with the cutting edge of the hammer ha saw.- The jugular vein had been wounded, and causal a /onsitiug. —Cross-examined by Mr. Not a th—Witnees did. not ,think that ar.y instrument, but some species nfliam ,nrdr could have inflicted the wound. Mrs. Kesiah 801 l examined by the Comsroe S ER.• TEA NT.--Witnes,lives at Greenwich, aad is a washer woman. She used frequently to go to char.?. and wash at Mr. Bird's ; his wife died two years and four months before the murder; nine o'clock was his usual hour of supping; sometimes he sapped on po tatoes; ten o'clock was his general hour of goiag to bed; he usod to pull off his shoes after supper, :nal his slippers were left for him after tire supper-cloth was removed. Witness had been washiag there on the 'Monday before the murder ; she washed cill - shirts ; after the murder she saw two shirts and a handkerchief produced by the constable; she was sure she had washed those two shirts on the Monday,' and the handkerchief she saw resembled that of Mr. Bird's. They kept cake and wine in the house. Cross-examined by Mr. NoLAN—When Mr. Bird bad company, he sometimes sat up later than ten. Mr. Thomas was again called, and in answer to several questions put by Mr. NOLAN, he said there was a fire in the kitchen nearly burnt ,ous, and not quite extinguished. lie was surprised at seeing the fire still burning; but he could not judge how long before that time fresh coals had been put on. The impression on his mind at the moment was, that some one was in the house. • Mr. Smith here observed, that it could hardly be called a fire ; fof the middle part was burned hol low, and might have been the remnant of a fresh fire laid on the night before. Mrs. Hannah Cooper lived on the Woolwich-road, about half a mile from Mr. Bird's house; on the Sa turday evening iu question, which was very foggy, she left her home at eight -o'clock, and in about 20 Minutes -after passed by Mr. Bird's house; she saw the door open, and a man was outside the door, talk ing to a woman who was inside with a candle in her hand, and whom she supposed to be Mr. Bird's housekeeper—the saw Mr. Bird at the same time coming from the hall towards the door. She after wards passed the door about a quarter before ten, and the house was shut op. She made no observa tion on the person of the man; his back was towards her, and his clothes-appeared dark. . • John Letton lived at a house callecLthe Greenwich Academy ;he and-his wife occupied two floors of the house; he is a cooper by trade; at the time in que;- tion was employed as a patrole, and was accustomed to go out at eight o'clock. He knew the prisoner, who left a Lox at his house when he quitted his place; there were two staircases in the house. lie and bis family generally went up the larger staircase: there was a smaller staircase, through which a person might pass into the room where Hussey's box was deposited, without being discovered by his family. Hussey often came backwards and forwards to his house. Witness was not in the habit of locking his doors when he went out at night as a parole. There were two privies to the house, which adjoined -Mr. Smith's. premises. Near one privy there was a place where his and other children used to play; in that place he never recollected to have seen any matting _or rubbish; there was nothing on the day of the mur der which could have concealed a bundle. There was a dark cellar close by, where a person could'con ceal any thing; the door of it was always open; near this place there was a cistern, with water always in it ; this was near the staircase leading to the room where Hussey's box was; there was always a pump in the kitchen, which was not used by any one. A person might go there without meeting any part of his family. He kept his cooper's tools in the lower part of the house, near to the kitchen that was not used. Before Mr. Bird's murder, he had a coopsra hammer in this place; before the murder he had missed the hammer; he left it there about four in the afternoon, and missed it next day; it was about ten days or a fortnight before the murder was commit ted ; he inquired for the hammer, but could not find it; it was a pail-rivetting hammer; he saw this ham mer since in the possession of Mr. Bicknell's Clerk ; before this he had described it to the Magistrate ; when he saw the hammer since he knew it to be his. This prisoner used to come frequently to his box; the witness once saw the box open and there was hardly any thing in it ; when Hussey first brought it, it was secured by a packthread; witness took the box away, and then it was secured by a stronger cord ; he took the !sax to a Mrs. Goddard's, in Deptford, and left it there; this was about ten days after the murder; the box then appeared to be a great deal heasier than when it first came to his place. Ile knew the priso ner when he lived with Mr. Stephenson in Vansittart Terrace as a servant ; the prisoner used to wash his master's gig near the pond where the hammer was found, from which pond he used to get the water. The lane which ran by his house communicates with Mr. Smith's grounds, and the pond was ie these grounds. Witness heard of the murder on the San. day afternoon; he saw Hussey the same afternoon; 'he came to his house about half-past three that day ; a relation of his was with Hussey ; he stayed until, about ten minutes after five, and then went away, saying he was going to his brother's, at Peckham ; he said he had promised his heather to dine with him that day, but had dined athis washerwoman's; when he came that day, witness observed to him, that he was quite groggy, and he replied, that he had been at the Tigers Head the night before, where he had 'been drinking ; he said he had been drinking in the morning at the Ship and Last ; that he dined with his washerwoman, and could not do less than give hat something to drink. After this conversation, he left) the room for about ten minutes, then returned, askedi for something to drink, and sent for some porter., Witness saw a pair of gaiters produced before the Magistrate ; he thought they were the gaiters of the prisoner. Some time after the murder, Hussey and Hazleton came together, and he was putting on a pair of gaiters, which he said he had bought of an hostler at the Prince of Orange for four shillings.— On cross-examination, witness said he had known the prisoner some time, and had a very good opinion of his character. Witness never took much notice of the place ivhete the matting and rubbish was said to have been laid ; there might have been some there without his noticing it. The place where he kept his tools we; not locked; his children might have ac cess to it. • •Maria Leann, wife of the last witness, saw Hus sey', box when it first came ; there wee - only a few clothes in its After the murder about a week,llus: ey requested she would deals ' her husband to take the hot to. Mrs. Collard's ; in the place near the .privy there was not :ere matting, or rubbish sutfi dent to conceal a bundle. About half-east three on the day the murder was discovered, Hus.ey called on he. Tiley made every possible search for the Iliani nv-r, and could not find it. Sho had not heard of the murder when Hus-ey called, and not until she went out or get some poi ter ; there was a great crowd thee about, and the people could have seen the cc.r.er where the rubbish was said to have beea laid. Letton, nephew of the last witness, recol lected the Sunday of the murder; he went to los uncle's house ; wheu he knocked at the door, Hussey carne round from the side, :led they went in Loge. tiler; as witness stood at the door, Hussey came on the left side ; it was about half past three &cheek ; witness did not stay long at hi; nocle's. Jane Goddard, the next witness, appeared greatly affected, and was allowed a seat; she said she lived at Deptford, and was telated to the prisoner bf mare riage ; she recollected a box having been brought to her house on the Monday after the kith of Februdey, it stool in the shop three weeks or a month before is was opened ; the box was opened by her husband; the first things she took hold of, were a silver ladle and some sheets, but did not know how many; sage some old clothes in the trunk ; the things were again put in.o the trunk, which was again corded up.— About two or three hours after it was opened again, she believed in the presence of Hodges, the constable. The day after the box was brought, Hussey came and Opened it. She thought she should again know the articles that were in it. James Goddard, husband to the last witness, spoke to• the box having been brought to his house, and placed behind the counter, standing on-the end. Ile opened it, and found in it a large bundle, containing some sheets, a silver ladle, a pair of dank panta loons, a wine-strainer, a waistcoat with sleeves, suet as -is worn by gentlemen's servants. ki. S. B. were marked on the sheets. He afterwards corded up the trunk, and sent it to the pri,oner's brother at Petit ham. He had no instruction not to let aey one go to the box; it had lain three weeks before :hey ere... mined it. When Ilussey came, he did not say aoy thing about it. Thomas Hussey, brother to the prisoner, said he lived at Peckham, and is a hair-dresser. His hi-O ther came to his house on the Sunday of the murder, at about five o'clock. He was to have dined with him that day at one o'clock. He staid all eight with wit ness. Ile was dressed in a black coat and waistcoat. The next morning he saw some bicker' pieces of buckle fall out of the prisoner's pocket. He did noe say how he came by them. He asked witness if he had heard anything of the horrid murder at Green wich? Witness said he had not. Prisoner then told him that an old gentleman and his housekeeper heti been murdered, just opposite where he lodged. The reason he gave for not coming to dinner was that of the murder ; and that Greenwich was liice4,l47r. His brother had received a legacy of LOU, the Wed nesday after the murder. Thomas Smith, constable, cf Greenwich, had re. ceived some pieces of silver buck.es from Thomas Hussey ; he afterwards spewed them to the prisoner, who said they were some of the things that had been in the bundle which he found ; and, at the same time, he remarked that they had been in the tire. Mr. Smith, the Magistrate, said, that Thomas Hus sey had, on the I Oth of March, loought him si:paiiv of bmkies, which he said be had found in his too ther's box. mix. Godwin, sister to the prisoner (wiles seemed greatly affected) said she lived at Peckham ; there was a box belonging to her brother at her house ; it was about the end of February %%hen she fist saw it the prisoner had access to the box; she believed he came only twice ; the first time was three weeks after the murder. She opened the tux, and found in it' two watches, which her husband and her brother Thotrets took. Siee saw a watch caper, on wlsieh was the name of Bird. Mr. George Bird, the son of the deceased, iden tified the tortoiseshell watch which had been foiled upon Hussey. He said the watch was his mother's„ and after her decease it used to be hung up. ' Ire father also constantly wore a metal watch, •whie had been found in Hussey's Sex. Thomas Larkin, a Constable of Greenwich, fcnid at the house of Mts. Goddard a trunk, which - was now produced in Court. •It was fastened by cords • he found in it two shirts, two sheets, a soup Ladle, ilvcr wine strainer, a pair of gaiters, and a pea sinners ticket, with c name of Charlet Hossey upc: it. titre the witness produced the articles found the box. horn these it appeared that Hussey hai been a merine. Witness was. at the house where dr murders had been committed abont twenty minute after one. The trunk was delivered to the seinen on the. 14th of Aiarch ; the gaiters then appeared have marks of b lo od, and marks of vomiting up both gaiters. Mrs. Letton being again called, said, the gaiters Court were of the same colour with those which e longed to the prisoner ; and be had sewed a stl: which sewing was like that on the present gai..er ; was only amending, and not an original sewing. Mr. Letton was again called, he could net pee Lively say that they were the same gaiters that le longed to the prisoner ; they were like them in colo r • Kesiah Bell being again called, shewn the ;ea found iu Hussey's. box, and she positively swore f. it belonged to .Mr. George Bird.' It had on ice marks (s. S. B. Mrs. Bird's name was Sarah.. to were the marks of Mr. Bird's sheets. The articles of silver, the shirts, and sheets v.-1 then proved to be the proper , / of the deceased, also the notes found in the box left by the ;nix, at Peckham. • Richard Hodges, the Constable, deposed to other articles contained in the box deposited at Gi dard's, which had remained in his possession c' since. The wine strainer and , the soup ladle Mr. Bi (the sun of the deceased) could not identify, but I said that such articko had been missing ever situ the murder, that such articles were in the posses* of his father before the murder, and resembled the he hid seen in his father's house during his life. Bank Notes were identified tb be indorsed by &titer, some of theni with the letters " G. B." " January 12," and ." July 18, Bank," with otl marki on other notes.
