TIDE MURDER OF MR IVEARE. The case of murder near Wttford, noticed iA our police Report of Thursday, same before the Magistrates at that place the same day, when a matt named Hunt, one of the four persons accused, made a confession s in consequence of which the murdered body was searched I for, and found in a pond within seven miles of Wat ford; the legs, which Were quite naked, were tied together with some new cord, and the upper part of the b o dy was congealed in a sack tied on. Affixed to the s ock was a handkerchief containing stones. The body was conveyed precisely in this state, to the Artichoke, ii public-house, a short distance from the pond, where it will retrain for the Coroner's Inquest. It was or dered that the sack should be removed, so that no positive identification of the body took place. The brother of the unfortunate murdered man, whose na me was Weare, went yesterday to identify the body. His relatives went to his chambers, No. 2, in Lyon's lon, where the unfortunate man had lived upwards of five years, and the keys that were left by him with the laundress previous to his leaving London on Ft Wry af ternoon, on the fatal Tourney, were delivered up to them. Mr. Weare was of rather eccentric habits, and when ever he went in or out of the Inn, always held his hand kerchief to his mouth. He was invariably followed by a favourite pointer, and the key of his chamber door was a poem one, and always kept fastened to his purse, in which situation it was found in the field where he was shot. The murder was of the most atrocious nature. — The pistol with which he was Shot, on being examined, was found to contain part of the brains of the deceased, from which it was evident that the parties must have been in close contact, and that the - murderers must have thrust the pistol into his head. The deceased had for merly had some concern in a gambling-house, and was' known always to carry a large sum of money about with him, and this is supposed to have been the induce ment to the murderers to commit the horrid crime. It is understood that the Thurtells, who are in custody, had invited Wcare to pass a short time with them at their seclusion near Elstree, having been long in habits of intimacy with him in the metropolis. The persons in custody charged with the murder, are Thomas and John Thurtell, J. Probart, and Joseph Hunt. The latter is the person o ho made the confessioa by means of which the murdered body was found in the pond. FURTHER PARTICULARS. On the read between Radlet and Elstree, near the pond in which the body of Mr. Weare was found, there are two other ponds or pits filled with water, a short distance trooi each other. The approver, Joseph Hunt, when be left Watford with the officers, directed the chaise immediately to the spot where the body was found. He assisted in drawing it out, and when it was brought out upon the bank, he looked at it without be traying the least emotion. He joked with some by standers upon indifferent subjects. After the exami nation had concluded on Thursday morning, J. Thurtell was placed in a small room, and attended by two con. stables. He was strongly ironed) and very narrowly watched through the day. His bearing on Wednesday night was exceedingly bold, and there was a great de gree of levity iii his manner; but after the examination he became exceedingly dejected, and sent for Rutliven, with whom be continued in conversation for a long time, in the course of which he accused Hunt of having corn- Mitted the murder, but admitted that he himself was concerned in it. In the afternoon the Magistrates issued an order for the conveyance of Thurtell to the County Gaol at Hertford, and he was taken there in a chaise by two constables of Watford well armed. On his arrival, he was placed in a cell by himself, anal was watched dur ing the night. Hunt remained ip custody at Watford. Hunt was called in in the course of the night, and un derwent a long examination, the interest of which is superseded by his confession. John Thurtell was then called in and examined. His account of the transactions of the evening differed very materially from that given by Hunt. He said he had no appointment with a Gentleman to go down with him on that night. Took no Gentleman up on the road. Never told any one he could take him for a day's shocit ing. lie walked with Probart and Hunt on Saturday morning in the lane for about ten minutes. They had all three black hats on. His clothes and boots were not so dirty as to regal; e a great deal of brushing cn Sa turday morning. The scratches on his hands were caused partly by some brambles while he was shooting, and partly by the bite of a dog. Ile never said anything to Mr. Hunt or to any one else about4is hands being scratched. Ruthven, on Thursday evening, when he arrived in London, went to Hunt's lodgings, and there he found a bag containing a backgammon board, wearing ap parel, Sze. and in the bed-room he found a double . barrelled gun, all of which were the property of the deceased, and were taken with him on the evening on which he started with John Thurtell. Yesterday, the Coroner's Jury assembled at the Ar tichoke, at Elstree, and proceeded to view the body in a room up stairs. It presented a spectacle truly horrible. There was a wound on the right cheek, evidently occa sioned by a pistol-ball, which had passed into the in terior of the head. On the left temple was a wound, or rather a hole, which went nearly through the head.— It appeared to have been caused by some blunt in strument being driven with great force into the head. The aperture corresponded in size with the barrel of the pistol, in which brains were found. The instrument, whatever it was; had penetrated both hemispheres of the brain. The throat of the unfortunase man was cut nearly from one ear to the other. Bruises were still visible on his body. After the Jury had assembled, Probart, T. Thurtell, and Hunt were brought to the house, and placed in se parate rooms. Probart was taken, in company with the CORONER and Jury, to - the room where the corpse was lying, and was asked if he had ever seen it before ? He looked at it, and said, in a tone of solemnity, " I never saw that corpse; before in_my life. I declare to Gon I never did. You may rely upon it, I never saw that unhappy man before." Re betrayed no extraordinary emotion. He was conveyed back to his room, and there, in a few moments, he altered his tone, and made dis closures which in time el appear before the Public. _ In the course of the . morning, a search was made about the premises of Gill's-1411-couage, and in a dung. hill was found a shirt steeped in blood, and cut down the middle from top to bottom. This, on being com pared with some shirts of the deceased, was found to be of the same size, and the work in each corresponded , A sack was also found there, and some pieces of Lord. The witneses who were examined before the Magis trates on Wednesday evening and Thursday morals ; : were again heard yesterday before the Bury, and gave the same testimony. The Jigy were occupied until tine o'clock last night in the inquiry, and they then ad .icarnesi until cli pde's. :ape brother of the deceased Was present at some part of investigation, and W-.*; so deeply affected as to be obliged to quit the root,. The deceased was a man well-known in the gaming circles, but was extremely penurious, and generallf car ried from £lOOO to C'2ooo abrmt his perton. This was always contained in an old pocket-book, and generally placed next his skin beneath his shirt. These habits were known to all who were in the habit of being in his company. He will be interred in Elstree church yard. None of his property has been found, except the contents of the bag. The prisoners all remain in con finement, in separate places.. THE CONFESSION. The following is the confession of Hunt, given very nearly in his own words:—" One night that I was at Rexworthy's billiard rooms, John Thurtell told me he wished to see a Mr. Weare ; and on entering the house we saw Mr. Weare sitting there. After some conversation between Rexwortby and John Thurtell, the latter called Mr. Wears out of the room. and they were absent about twenty minutes. I was during that time in conversation with Mr. Green and Mr. Rexworthy about a billiard-table. During that , gonversatinn, Thurtell acrd Mr. Wears returned, and I and Thurtell went away. As we were on one way up the Haymarket to the Cock, Thurtell told me that Mr. Weare had behaved extremely ill to hint ; for he, with another man of the name of Lemon, had won .C3OO of him (Thutteli) at blind-lookey. When he discovered he had been robbed of his money by false cards, he challenged Mr. Weare with foul play, and Weare's reply was—` You dare not say a word about it, for you know you have defraudedyour creditors of that money.' John Thurtell then observed to me, that sooner or later he would be revenged. At one time in particular he (John Thurtell) was in difficulty, and applied to Mr. Weare for the loan of £5, and Mr. Weare's reply was—' Go and rob for it, as I do.' On Thursday night, which was the night before the murder took place, John Thurtell asked me to call on hint on Friday morning, which I did. Said he— , Hunt, I wish you would take a walk with me.' We walked together as far as High-street, Mary.la-bonne. When we got into high-street, we stopped at a pawnbroker's shop. After looking at some jewellery which was in the window, John Thurtell observed that those pistols (here the examinant looked at and pointed to the pair already mentioned, which were on the table), marked' I believe, were just the things he wanted to shoot cats with. They were marked, a its. 6d. and he gave 11. es. for them. We then returned to Mr. Tatsell's ' the Coach and Horses, in Conduit-street, and dined. After dinner , John 'Mundt asked me to get hint a horse and chaise inunediately, as be had to meet a Gen tleman who was going into the country with him, on a shooting excursion. He gave me 1/. 10s. to get the horse and chaise, fur which I paid U. ss. He desired me not to say where the horse and chaise were going. Mt. Probart, the proprietor of the horse and chaise, supposed it was going to Dartford ; but it came down into Hertfordshire. As soon as the horse and chaise came to the door, which was at a quarter before eight o'clock, John Thurtell told Mr. Probart, of Gill's-hill. who was present, that in e rinse , quence of warrants being issued against hint and his brother for a conspiracy to defraud the County Fire-office of 1,9001. he should go to his (Mr. Probart's) cottage, for safety. Mr. Probart said, Well, if that's the case, you may as well wait, and we will go together.' John Thurtell said,' No, I can't stop, I have a Gentleman to meet at Cumberland-gate; and he immediately drove off, taking with him a great coat which he borrowed, of his brother Tom. I did not see him pot these pistols into his pocket when he started, but to the. best of my knowledge they were about his person. Mose three-quarters of an hour had elapsed, Mr. Probart, of Gill's-Mb cottage, said, he aid not want to travel by himself, and would be glad it I would take a seat with him in his gig, and spend a plw sant evening or two. 1 accepted Mr. Probart's offer. (Here 'the exanunant described several houses at which he said they stopped and drank.) We arrived at Mr. Probart's cottage, when John Thereat came up and said, I have settled that who robbed Me of 'MOO.' Probate said, ' Who dy'e mean? What dy'e mean?' 4 Why,' said John Thurtell,' I mean to say, that I have blown his brains out, and he lays behind a hedge in the lane." Nonsense, nonsense,' said Probart; you have never been guilty of aching of that kind, John Thurtell; If you have, and near my cottage,ttly character and my family are ruined for ever ; but I can't believe that you have been guilty of so rash an act. Here, Hunt, (to exami nant) take In the loin of pork, and desire the cook to dress it imme diately.' I went into the kitchen, and waited until Probart came in, which, to the best of my knowle dge, was after a lapse of five minutes. Before we went into the parlour. I said to John Thurtell, You are jesting about killing a man to-night?' Ay, but I have,' was hi s reply, • and no ale else but Weare, that rubbed me of my £300.' Mr. ?rebut said, John, you have produced such an effect on me, that bikes we retire and get sense refreshment, My senses will to tally leave me.' We' then had a glass of brandyeAllere he de scribed the supper which was served up, and said that John Thur tell complained of being sick, and could not eat} After supper, Thurtell called mu and Mi. Probart out, and produced a very hand some gold watch, with a gold face, saying, What do you think of it now ? This is something towards the 5001. I was robbed of ; and ff you will go with me, I will thew you where he lays, stiff enough.' Mr. Probart and myself both declined, observing that we would uot witness such a sight for the world. Thurtell said—' You will not see him, for he is in a sack.' I and Mr. Probate declined ping near the spot. About one o'clock in the mmming, Mr. Probart called me out, saying, Do you think Thurtell has been guilty of this rqur der ? My reply was—' It looks very suspicious, his having the gold watch ; and in consequence of which I would rather decline going I to bed, and, if it was agreeable to him, I would sit up in the par lour with him, through the night.' About three o'clock in the morn ing, John Thane! said-o , Come and look at him ;heis a b---y rogue, and I Mee bad my revenge.' We both declined going near the spot, and walked about the garden till four o'clock. John Thur. tell raid, If you decline going to fetch him,-I Will go myself;' and in about ten minutes he left tae and Mr. Probart, for the purpose, as we supposed, to fetch the dead man, William Weare. While he was gone, Mr. Probart said to me,' Good Goo, blunt 1 what shall I do if this account of Thumb's is true? --(Ruminant detailed some further conversation.] During the conversation, Thurtell returned, saying, he is so heavy,l can't carry him ; and if you won't assist me in moving hint from behind the hedge, I shall put a bridle upon my horse and throw hint across his back; and he accordingly took out his horse with a bridle on. Mr.Probart said, be hoped he would not bring a dead man near his premises; What b--y stuff you talk,' said JohnThurtell: I shall bring him and chuck him into your fish-pond.' —While he was gone with the horse, I and Probart went into the parlour. Probart was much agitated, mid as for myself I had not a nerve but what was in a state of convulsion. As nearly as I can recollect, about a quarter or half-past five o'clock in the morning, Thurtell came into the parlor, and said,' I bare thrown him into the fish-pond.' ' Then, by Go,' said Probart, I insist upon your getting him immediately off nay premises.' Mr. Probart and myself went to the fish-pond, where we saw the feet of a man upwards in the water. Thurtell fetched a line, which be threw across the feet, so as to sink them, at the-same time saying, Probart, don't you be alarmed, for I would not have you get into trouble, knowing that you are a man that has a family. Let him remain here till night, and then I will get him safe away. On Monday oight, Thomas Thurtell asked me to go to Mr. Probart's, and inform hint ot the disappointment respecting the hall, John Thurtell said, If you are going down, 171 go with you, and take that ma n awa y from Probart's premises. '•. I said, If you are going upon that businesi, don't think I 'hall aid or assist you.' His reply was, I want tio assistance; I tan do It myself, easy enough.' When we arrived at Probart's, ThurteU appeared greatly agitated. When we had been there some time, Probart and Thurtell went out together, and in ten minutes Probart returned by himself. Its half an hour, Thurtell came in, and asked us to put the horse in his gig, and take it round to the gate. We did so, and Thurtell brought upcn his shoulder a corpse, a male corpse, one part in a sack, and the feet hanging out. Ile asked Probate to lend him a hand to put the corpse in the gig, but he refused. He then asked me, but [de clined. He then put the corpse in - the chaise himself, endued the feet to the dashing iron. He then said there was plenty of room for me in the gig besides him and the corpse. I declined having any thing to do with it, and said I would walk on, and set might over take me. I walked on two miles, when Martell ovrook me, and told me be had disposed of Use corpse in a small muddy marsh about four feet deep. From thence we made the beseof our way to town. And aldwa Gentlemen, I believe you have it as clear as if you bad been present yourseivee." In the course of yesterday a person, sytio said his name was Thos.
