MURDER IN ESSEX. The murder of Mr. MUMPORD appears to have been epctrated at a spot which afforded too great a facility lat , a d ee d of darkness and of blood.—Widdington is ihout a miles from Saff ron Walden, and twelve from Great Dun mow ; which in summer time appears beau tifally diversified by hill and dale, but in winter pre cos dreary waste, and where, to a stranger, it would appear t h a t the road had been taken from the open kids but a few years, a great portion of land still lying jilting part uninclosed. There is, just at this particular n , rt of die road alluded to, a distance of nearly a mile P her w ay, in which not a cottage or vestige of security , es entsitself. r ft was in such a dreary spot that the murderer at vcked the unfortunate victim of his revenge—it is about • to ile from Whittington, in a narrow road, where the t wo are thrown up so as to exclude any distant view bye day, and pi event the voice from being heard g ht; at this spot, aril in the darkest period of Achy evening last, when fatigued in his endeavours wcend a very steep hill, Mr. ititimford appears to hoe been attacked, and that with such remorseless fury silo render all resistance unavailing. %h. James Mamford, who was thus inhumanly or d er ed, was the son of. a most respectable farmer, a mpying Nor'* Hall, In W,iddington, a farm of 300 gr ey, belonging to one of the Colleges of Oxford. John Pallett, the prisoner, charged with the horrible b i r o, is the son of an indu.trious labbirrer, who has boa in the employ of Mr. Mumford for a number of ; and the father bears a good character. The son is about twentyome years of age; he also worked for ltir.Murnfoid, and last with Mr.Whisken, of the Fleur de-lis public house, in Widdington. The prisoner is a stout athletic man, of great mus oiar power; he has that pale- unsound appearance w hich we frequently observe in those whose earnings are spent in di unkenness. !. prisoner Pallet, or Parrot, underwent an ezanli- Datien on Tuesday, at Walden, and was remanded until the result of the Cisroaer's Inquest was made known. At half-past eleven o'clock a crowd of persons were wen approaching Widdington from Newport, and in a fee minutes two taxed carts drove op to the Flower-de lace; the first contained, besides the drive: and the pri mmer, Mr. Mead, the jailer, and an officer ; they alighted tithe door of the public-house, add the prisoner was ontlucted into a private room, being properly guarded. Ile was handcuffed and heiteilf ironed by both legs ; he seemed very much depressed, and his countenance be- 1 tr.” eel an inanimate expression that would scarcely lead a person to conclude he was possessed of the Courage accessary to perpetrate such a dreadful crime.; • THS CORONEtt'S IIItaUEST. Early yesterday morning, William Gibson, Esq. the Coroner, arrived at the sign ofohe Flower-de-luce, kept by 'Mr. Whisken, in the village of Widdington, and at twelve o'clock the Jury were sworn.. The Coroner and Jury then retired to view the body ly ing at the deceased's father's house, a short distance from the public-house. It was in a dreadful mutilated state; indeed, so much so, that it was impossible to recognize a single feature, the head being completely beaten flats. It remained in the same state as when it was found. Robert Smith, of Burchanger, in this county, pubs bran, was sworn, and deposed as follows :—Moaday sight last, about half-past eight o'clock,. I left this house (the Flower-de.loce), to go home, and in my way I saw a body lying on the road, from my horse having shyed on reaching the spot. I got off my horse, and heard a groan proceed from the body. The clothes were much. disordered ; his. shirt sleeves were torn, and be laid on his back with his coat nearly off his arms; I believeit was Takeoff one arm : his,hat was off ; I per ceived no blood then, but I supposed some. dreadful act had been committed, and having removed the body to the side of the road I rode directly back to the Flower desluce, at Widdington, and alarmed the inhabitants; tire Flower-de-lute is nearly half a mile front where the body lay. He was alive when I left him; I sent some people on towards the body with a lantern, and ordered s cart to be dispatched after them with all possible haste, as I told them a murder bad been committed. I then rode to Mr. Hains's, the overseer, but lie was not at Mae, sled I then rode towards he body, which was then in the care of the personslhad sent, and was about 30 rods nearer Widdington than when I left it ; there were several' persons With the body, but they were strangers to me. The cart having anived; the body Imo put into it; it was brought up to this house, and it seemed covered with blood; and the head appeared to be much beaten; a cut was also observable under his F thin; the deceased appeared to be quite dead when be was put into the cart. I knew the deceased when alive, bat could not recognize him when dead, in consequence of his mutilated appearance. From the. time of first leaving the body until I saw it a second time, not more dray ten opines hadelapsed. The road where r found the body was the one leading from Widdington into the.' high road to London. A Jarman—Did you seethe prisoner at that time? irstana—No; not until afterwards. I assisted in handcuffing him whew he was taken, and he made a great deal of resistance. • John Reid, of Widdington, carpenter; sworn .-- I was in 1114 house when the - last witness came ,in, about a *tarter An nine o'clock on Monday night, and said that some ,person was murdered in the road, and he seemed much' frightened ; the left Peeve and side of Smith's great coat were bloody ; he also said he thought the man was not quite dead, for he had heard him groan ; the man, be said, was lying on the at on the top of the se- . void hill, on the road to Quendon. My son, my brother, another labouring man, Matthew Dellow,and.l, set off immediately ; we went to Mr. Mumford's old farm for a lantern, which I bid under my coat, and then pro ceeded towards the.place Smith had directed us; when we got to the top of the first hill we stopped and Hs- . 'mil, but could hear nothing ; they then went clown the hill very gently, and I heal d some person say " Hoy r t% , e person was in the road, and within three or four rods a us. I knew the voice to be John Pallett's ; besides lloy," be said, " Here is Jem Mumford r he added, " I picked him up on the road; the body was on his back. I put the lantern close to the deceased's face, and >aid, 41 I am sure it is not James Moniford ;" my brother also said the same ; I had known the deceased for many years; I took the body off Pallctt's back ancrset it on my son'a knee, until the cart came up; 'Fallen remained and assisted in putting the body into the cart; Pallett walked rolnistaa ily towards this house, and insisted that the body was that of Mr. Mumforti, but I thought not; when he was brought to this house and_put into.a chair, I examined his cheek for..a mole, .which I found, and then believed it was Mr. Mumford ; his shirt was marked ".1 M. which confirmed it ; his head was knocked to Pieces, a large piece being cut out from the bead k Fal len then sat down, and commenced drinking in the tap- room 1 •T 1 e constablearrived ht about half an hour, and I told him the eireementnee of finding the body . at Pal lea's back; the constable then took him into Custody; he was asked by Mr. Campbe ll how be came by the body? Pallett answe r ed, hea found him on the road, and intended to takebis to Prior's-hall, where he lived. Pallet; made a violent resistance, swore he would not be taken, and it required seven or eight men to put the handcuffs on; when that was effected, he declared he would smash them all; he was kept in this house all night, and next day was taken before a Magistrate. — Pallet; was smothered with blood ; his shirt collar was bloody all round, but there appeared no bruises on him; whets I met Pallett he was alone. I asked Pallett how he knew the deceased, and he then replied, he thought it was him ; Pallett had no light with him ; it was rather a dark night; we could not recognize the de. ceased, although Pallet; at first said it was Mr. Mem ford. The head was knocked all . to pieces ; the face was much swelled and very disfigured. When I asked him how he knew the body was that of Mr. Munsfurd, he appeared much confused. By a Juryman.—Subsequent to Pallett's being in custody, while you were assisting in keeping guard over him, did he make any observation? Witness.—On the Tuesday morning, the constable, George knight, took off Tallest's high shoes ; he said nothing about that; some time afterwards, Mr. inlin, Nlumford went past the window of the room ; Pallet; asked where they were going ; I said, " They are going ,to try your shoes in the track on the ground;" Pallett then replied,. " Then I shall be sure to be done ; it is a hard, thing to be born to be hung ; I shall be sure to be hung . If I could get o ff by transportation, I should not care ." I All the way to the House of Correction at NeWport, on Tuesday afternoon, he repeatedly said he was sure he should be hung, and cu led bitterly all the way. I asked him why be was sure of it, and he then remained silent. When Pallet; was taken into custody on Monday even tag, he was searched by the constable, George Knight.' George Knight, is constable of Widdington, sworn.-i. l i took Pallet; into custody on Monday night by desire* of Mr.. Campbell, at this house, on suspicion of murder ing Mr. James Mumford. Pallet; said at first, " Very well; I am willing to go with you." • I took him Into another room, and he wished to have something - to - eat and drink. I refused to let him ; and he said he would be d—d if he would not, at the same time jumping up, he knocked over the table• and broke the plates and glasses on it. I then tried to handcuff him by 'Mr. Campbell's desire, but I was obliged to call several people to assist me. About an hour afterwards I searched him, having previously tied his legs; Lfound in his right hand breeches pocket it knife, a comb, and 2s. 4d. in a canvas purse; in his left hand pocket was a buck horn handle knife, which I knew to have belonged -to James Mumford, the deceased; I knew it . from Mr. luniford's having shewn it to me about five or six weeks ago, and his observing, " It is a nice little knife, I intend to keep it." I have often seen the knife in Mr. Mumford's possession, and aM sure the one I found in Pallett's pocket was his, I afterwards pulled Pallett's shoes off ; this was by the desire of Mr. Thomas Mum ford. jun. one of deceased's brothers: when I was taking . Pallet; to prison, he said he should be hung. John Hayden, of Widdington, farmer, sworn. About twelve o'clock on Monday night, I and a little boy, Richard Townsend, jun. and Thomas Eaton. went to the spot where the body was first seen by Mr. Smith, about forty rods from the place Mr. Smith described to me. I saw by the candle I had with - me, 'a mark of blood at the side of a clay .pit ; the pit-was about three feet deep, and four yards long.; the blood was about the size of my hat, this Was about two yards from the cart track in the road; I then went on the same road above fifty rods further, and saw a pair of gloves and a stick, which were taken by Mr. Townsend ; there was a great . deal of blood on the road near whzre the gloves and, stick were found ; the blood had run do w n the cart- ' track. The next morning I went to the spot again, and found a stick about six rods from the spot, among some turnips. .(The stick was g 6 inches long, and about an inch thick; it was very much stained with blood, and split in several places, apparently .as if it had been used by the murderer). About 1.5.r0di further, just as the stick was found, another person called to me and :hewed Me thebat and coat. I could not recollect the hat, but I knew the coat to bave.been the deceased's. A little further I found two keys, a knife. a new steel pencil- case, and a new pair of spectacles in d red morocco case.—(The deceased warvery short-sighted). The articles mentioned were all produced. A knife found on the prisoner, and belonging to him, was much notched, and the stick with_ which it was sup-J posed the mtuder was committed appeared to have been + cut by a notched.knife. Thedeceased's bat was bloody , in the inside, and.was cut on the crown as if (rem a blow. Mr. John Mumford, of Henuam, farmer, sworn.—l am brother -to the.deceased. About nine p'clock on Tuesday I took the prisoner's shoes from the . constable, and proceeded towards the spot where my brother i.as found, where I saw a deal of blood. I was 'hewn some feet marks on a piece of wheat land, about three or four rods near where the blood lay ; a.. great many persons had been to that spot, and the marks of the feet were ob 7 literated; but about twelve rods or more from that place, there was a pliers on a ridge of wheat which appeared as if some person had sat down: there was a bole close to it, which seemed as if a stick had been stuck there: There were two marks in the hole, as if it was a split stick which bad been there ; I followed a foot track which began about three or four rods from the place where the blood was ; the foot track ran across a piece of land sown.veith wheat, belcinging to Mr. Murkin, and it appeared evident that the person bad sin; from the place where a persons appeared to -have sat down, the same footstep. seemed to have gene towards some turnips; where, the bat, coat, and some other articles mentioned, by 'Mr. Hayden, had been found; the knife found there by MT.
