She Mr. Ti rt ntoe had stopt a good bit with her, and was gooe by the Couttr.—Mary Ashford bad told 'tie, when we were coming hon.?, slit was, going to her grand father's. _ _ _ Benjanun Carter, a farmer's son in Erdingtnn, ext. mined by Mr. PalmNs, concurred with the form I. witness SO far as their evi.lence came in contact. He saw M.,ry Ashford dancing with the prisimer a few minutes hefor2 they left the room to go away. 'J.ihn Hompid4e, examinkil by lir. Ct.itaxe...4 was nn the nipht of she 26 h rf May at Mr. Rey. nolds's, in 'Pens mill•lane (near Webster's.place. and on the opposite side of,the r , ad from the path. that leads towards &II lane). At two o'clock on the morning 01 the 27th I heard so:ne persons talking. I Stayed till a flu titer before three, and continued to hear the cooversation till den. As I was leaving Rettnolds's. I saw the Prisoner ando woman at the top of the foredrift, at the style. The stile leads to Bell. lane (the extremity of the pathway and a considerable distance front Reynolds's). . The prisoner and I exchanged the salutation Good morning." I don't know who the woman was ; she held her head d.'wn, and seemed as if she would not be known. I left them standing against the stile.

By the Ccit•t.—l was courting the daughter. . . T Toornas Ashbury, esamined by Seijeant Comex. —On the morning of the .I.7th I saw Mary Ashford against the Horse-pit in Bell-lane, going towards Erdington t she was walking very last ; it was half after three. She was alone; I looked up Bell-lane, and saw ho other person. Jol:st Chesterton Was up soon after two to fettle his hoists : he went with them afterwards to 13irminp. ham ; after be had Passed Mrs. Bittler's he stood to look back, and saw Mary Ashford coming out at the ratty : he smacked kis whip, anit she turned and looked. This was a quarter past four. She went along Bell-lane in a gre,t hurry. Joseph Dawson SAW her at a quarter past four. They asked each other bow they diJ ? She had on a' searkt spencer, and walked very fast towards Thomas Broadhurst, as he was going from Ty. trim along the Ciester road, sew Mary Ashford er•Asing it towards Pens mill-lane, walking fast. He had asked a man whom he had ►een trenching, what o'clock n was e he said ten minutes past four: it was SO minutes to five when he got home: his clock was a quarter fast. I. got home seven minutes after I saw her. _George Jackson.—l heard it strike five when I was at the top of More-street, Birmingham ; I was going to work beyond Pen's-mills. I passed by the work house in Erdington, turned out from Bell.lane into the foredrift (that is, to cut the angle by taking the pathway) towards Pen's-mills: I came to a pit, and observed a bonnet, a pair of shoes, and a bunule, on the edge of it, close' by the slope which leads down into the pit. I saw that one shoe was aU blood. I went to the nearest houses for assistance; I found a Irian coming ont of his own door-place (Leven, who occupies the house at the end of Reynolds's, on the north of Pen's.mills-lane, and near the Mills). He came with met I then told him to stop at the pit while [went for More people. Going along the foot path I saw some blood in a sig-sag line; a little fur ther I saw a cake of blood, by the side of a bosh; 1 ,aaw some more to the left, on some grass opposite. I went on to get - men, apd went back, and saw them at the place. I did not see the body. 1 went off to * Crespexantitted by'Jlfr. Revont.ns.o—l tame to the pit about halt-pasfsix. The pit is c10..e to a public footpath, which is kparated from the public road ortly by a hedge. The stile, communicating with the harrowed field collie west, is two or three yards from the pit. ' a Wm. Lavell'conetirrid, in the part which he saw, In common with the former witness. He further stated thus:— After crossing the' stile beside the pit and going along the diagonal footpath in the harrowed field, towards Erdington,,l saw, first, a man's loot efepi striking off the path : at about eight yards fur ther I discovered a woman's striking They got together in 15 yards. (By the plans produced, it was evident that Lie wranAn, going towards Lang. ley, had made an attempt to pass the man by run• sting out of the path, and making a circuitous race out of his line r and that the man, who had been tither wasting for her or coming on to meet her, see ing this, ran out of the path to intercept her. It was manifest too, that shehad been coming from Erding ton, and that he had been mowing in the contrary di rectisn, ur standing on the path). The foot-marks theasbore towards the hedge on my right going to Ershogtots. I judged tl:e persons to have been run ning, by the length of the strides,, and the sinking into the groond : I traced them to a dry pit in the far end of the harrowed field, observing them dou bling there as it they had been (lodging one another: I traced them together then to the stile into the grass field where the pit is; I traced a man's footstep in a contrary way through the harrowed field : it appeared that the man had been running : no woman's trace was there; they could be tiaced to a stile which led to Castle-Bromwich. The nest field in that di. section was clover, and they wild be traced ne fur . theft there was no regular way without a .trespass in this direction: I, with Joseph Bird, compared the prisoner's Shoes which be had on that morning with all these traces: they fitted exactly : I haven () d ou b t et all that they were made by them : they !ere right and left: there were sparibles :" in one place, where a piece of wood ?lad turned up the shoe, the coinci dence was -quite conclusive. We compared Mary Ashford's shoes, and theyfitted exactly to the woman's traces.' • I saw one footstep, it was a man's, at th e edge of the slope ; it was the left foot sideways and - inclined were on the clover. There was dew. There waste first a regular run of blood, it then came to drops. Cross examined by Mr. READER.—I traced the footsteps at seven, compared the woman's s h o e s at ten , and the man's at one. There WAS no thunder storm. It rained while we were going at one. I observed' the footmark at the pit as soon as I came to it ; it was broad and evi lend) , a man's, but not such as I can swear to, as the spot was hard and grassy. Joseph Bird concurred most accurately. The , Counsel was prevented from inquiring into the state of a field of oats on the way from the fatal spot to Castle-Bromwich, because the witness had not ob served it till eight days after the murder. James Symmons fetched a held rake, and with others got the body out. The face was covered with mud and oak leaves, such as were on the sut face of the water. Mr. Joseph Webster, preprieter of Pen's Mills, gave ' very distinct and foil evidence as to the footmarks, the blood, and the state of the lvaly. Some of the footmarks were immediately covered with hoards, to i preserve them from any injury. The shoes fitted quite exactly. He had not the smallest doubt of tl having been made by.those very shoes. He de• Iscribed the impression of the human body, and the coagulated blood on tbe gronnd. in most distinct terms. Delicacy frbds a full statement here, but the inference clearly was, that violence had been of— f,-red by ruf f ian force to virgin innocence. s kle sent tl body an d the clothes to Lavell's house. The clothes were now produced in Court. They were a sickening sight to all present. The muslin spencer she had on till she ch.olged her dress at four o'clock was quite clean : the eown she put on at four was excessively cbrtied and bloody. The seat chewed evident marks of violent pressure to the ground.— The shoes were bloody, but she had them on all along.—Mrs. Laren and Mary Smith swore to the deep marks as of fingers on her arms. Mr. Bedford, the Magistrate, swore to the decla ration and signature of the prisoner. It sets forth that he had been with the deceased till four, when he waited five minutes for her near Mrs. Butler's, and then went away and saw no mere of her. He had been drinking during the night, but was not intoxi cated. It mentioned several persons he had seen on his way home. which was by fsfr Holden's (this is quite the line to which the running footsteps of the man, alone, would lead), and says that he was at home by 20 minutes past five, when he changed his coat and hat, but not his shoes a although they woe wet by going through the grass. This declaration was made about one o'clock, en the 27th of May, at Daniel Clarke's in Tyburn. Thomas Dale, the Constable, found the prisoner at Tyburn by ten o'clock. lie went up stairs to exa mine his person, after he had been examined by the Magistrate. There was blood upon him. He ac knowledged that he had been intimate with her, with her own consent, but that lie knew nothing of the murder. This witness then said. that the prisoner had previously admitted to him the connection, but that lie did not recollect whether any other person was present ; and that the witness did not recollect having menu ned it to Mr. Bedford. William Betson was at the dance. and beard the prisoner salt Cotterill who Mary Ashford was ? and on being told, he said, go I have been intimate with her sister twice, and I'll be so with her, or I'll die by it." Mr. Bananas endeavoured to throw discredit on this evidence, by insinuating that Cottarill had de. Hied it, and that such an observation cculd not pass unanswered. Daniel Clarke, on hearing of Mary Ashford's death, went immediately to Castle-Bromwich. He met the prisoner on a pony, at the Chapel. He said, What has become of the young woman that went away with you over night ? she is murdered and thrown law a pit." The prisoner exchrimed, in some corrosion, 1, Murdered was along with her till four o'clock this morning." Witness asked him to come al..ng with him and clear himself ; he replied he could soon clear himself. He went with the wt ons to 'l') barn, put his pony into the stabli, went into the room and eat and drank. There was not a word said of the murder. The prisoner seemed not disposed to speak of it, and the witness did not cress it. They sp*.ke of the crop and the weather. He never proposed to go to Sutton, where the body was found. • Mr. George Frere, a surgeon in Birmingham, gave a very particular account of the state of the body, which of course cannot be published: He gave it as his decided opinion, that she had been a virgin till the last fatal intercourse. The lacerations and the quan tity of blood evidently betokened violence. She had died of drowning. Another surgeon who had been present, the Counsel for the prosecution said it was quite unnecessary to call. Here the case toy the prosecution closed. William Jennings, a milkman, in Birmingham, his wife, John Holden the younger, and Jane Eaton, swore that the prisoner passed by Holden's in the morning of the 27th,,and walked slowly. They had seen him pass, and ten minutes or a quarter after wards Mrs. Jennings asked Miss Eaton the clock, and she said 17 minutes to five. Holden's cloilt was neat day ascertained to Ise with Birmingham time.— John Heydon saw the prisoner at Twarnley's stables five minutes before five. This he knew by recollect ing the time be left h:s own house, and by taking a watch and walking over - the same ground that he had walked that morning; John Woodcock, miller to Zaccharia Twamley, at Bromwich, and James White, servant at Castle-Bromwich, saw the prisoner' there at 20 minutes past five. By comparison of watches and clocks, it was 'hewn that Mrs. Butler's cluck was too last by 41 minutes ; the distance from Mrs. Butler's to the pi: is one mile, two furlongs, 38 yards; and from the pit to Holden's, three miles,f four furlongs, 38 yards the argumeht was thereto:* .thus—Mary Ashford left Mrs. Butler's at tcn v:i nutes past lour; the prisoner was at Holder.% at half pan boar, a distance of more than thin miles from the pit; theretore, the deed charged could rot have been done by the prisoner, since tie could not have done it, and walked more than three miles, in less than ten minutes. William Coleman was called to say, that his grand daughter had not slept in his holm on the Eight in question. The Learned Judge summed - the -- idence, if !was Emu ; far as it win,. tl-nuph nn necnnnt had peen gist t of the toot marks. The Jury would ba nish all i :-.pressions-received out of doors, and tread-, len that the question was, not •thether the prisoner hid acte.l improperly, but whether lie had commit ted the act chsrg-rd ? If they were convinced of his guilt, they would convict him in consequence. as a matter of justice to the public ; it they entertained any reasonable doubt, justice to the prisoner deman ded an accrii;tal. The Jury in five minutes returned a verdict of— Not Guilty. He was then; pro forma, arraigned for the rape, and acquitted. It came out incidentally during the trial, that the human form was not capable of being moulded int ,, finer symmetry than distinguished the person of lkls:y Ashford. Her age was CO: she was 5 feet 4 it=ches high, and she was remark shly spr:slitly : all her friends are in indigent circumstances. The Court, though the Lsdies w ere necessarily er eluded, was crowded to excess through , ut the day. The trial lasted from eight in the reorniog trll half past eight at night. —Thus the Midland Circuit closed. arßicii. INTRLLIGENCE.
