DEVONSHIRE ASSIZES. EXETER, JULY 24. #LRIRR V. BARTLETT AND ANOTHER. Mr. Set jeant Paw, for the plaintiff, stated that this was an action of ejectment to recover possession of an estate called Shute, in this county, at present held by the defendants, 'who were the sisters of the plaintiff's father—a man at whose name the country had once trembled. The Jury would recollect, that in the year 1797 the inhabitants of London experienced a visita tion which no other great metropolis had ever suffered, by the blockade of her proud port, not by hostile na vies, not by a foreign foe, but by their own ships manned by . British seamen. The leader of that me morable mutiny at the Nore was no other than Richard Parker, the father of the present plaintiff, John Charles Parker. That unhappy man had at la st paid the for feit of his crimes, for many undoubtedly he had, com mitted, but his death was memorable for the heroism which he displayed. He lived like a mutineer, but he died like a man ; and, in speaking of that event, he might with great propriety use the language of the greatest poet that ever put his thoughts on paper : 4. 1 spoke wits one who saw him die, who did report That very frankly he confessed his treasons, And implored his Highness' pardon; and made A very deep repentance. Nothing in • His life became him like the leaving it." —Such was the man under whom the claim to the estates in question was now derived. The only ques tion which it was his duty to satisfy the Jury upon, was the legitimacy of the plaintiff; because, if he could establish that he was the heir at law of the last Parker who was in possession of the estate, there could exist no doubt of his title. The Learned Coun sel then stated the evidence which he intended to call to substantiate the plaintiff's case. Witnesses were called, who proved that the estate had been in the possession of Richard Parker's elder brother, and that no issue of his were now alive. Ann Parker (the widow of Richard Parker) was then swore, and examined by Mr. Set jeapt PELL.— Her appearance in the -witness-box created a consi derable sensation of cutiosity in the Court, to vieW the woman who had been related so neatly to one who had himself been an Object of great public inte rest. She was neatly dressed, and exhibited the re mains of a countenance which must have been in youth uncommonly beautiful. She stated that she was the mother of the plaintiff, by her late husband, Richard Parker, to whom she was married in the year 1793. He as at that time a master's mate of a man of war. She lived with her father, who was a Gentleman-farmer. Her acquaintance with Parker first commenced at the ferry at Leith, from the boat of which he handed ker, and at the time he said he would never lose sight of her. They were shortly after married at the Cowgate, Edinburgh, in the presence of her brother, who is now dead, and two of his servants. The clergyman's name who mar ried them is Gordon, and is at pi esent alive, but insane. The plaintiff was horn in Edinburgh, ten months after the marriage. They visited Exeter in 1795. In the month of May, 1797, het husband quitted - her to join a ship at the Nore (she was then at Eiinburgh), and she never saw him afterwards. Ile was buried at Sheerness, hut she had the body taken up and buried like a gentleman at Whitechapel-church. The child (the plaintiff) was 'sent to the HiAblands, and has ben there ever since wi'.h her sis:er, whom she had visited horn time to tia.e. On her ctoss-exaniination, she admitted that she knew a man named Hetwkitr., but had never told him that she had no children, and she thanked .God for it. She was married to Richard Parker a second time, at the desire of his father, at St. Sitwell's, I.!: ieter. The two servants who vi itnessed the Marriage at Edinburgh were then examined, and proved she was !partied according to the forms of the Scotch church. Mr. GAsELEE addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendants. Ilk object was to throw discredit on the story of the plaintiff' being the son of Richaid Parker. He called the following witnesses. Mr. Turner, solicitor, stated that he had convey -sation with Mr. John Parker, who died in 1815, and heard him frequently lament that there were no heirs niale of the name of Parker. Benjamin llawkins knew Mrs. Parker three years and a lralf. Has been employed by Mt s. l'a:ker to go into the country. Has heard her say that her two' children were dead, and she thanked LiOD for it. This', was two years ago. Cross-examined.—Witness is a surgeon and apo thecary. He sleeps in the room he keeps his shop in; he does not perform operations in the same room., He has gone of messages for Mrs. Parker, and writ ten letters for her, but it was not either as an attor ney, a surgeon, or clerk, or surveyor. Mr. Serjeant PELL rose to reply.—lt would-be an' insult to the under standings of the Jury if he were to offer one word upon the case; for a more scandal ous attempt to defeat justice he never witnessed. By whom was the defence supported? ‘Vhy by a spectre who had just left the box (alluding to the pale and meagre surgeon who had just given his evidence). — Did they ever see such a being He seemed to he rai,ed from the dead. lie (Serjeant Pell) was reminded of the description of the poet—" I do remember an apothecary, Scc."—( A laugh). Mr. GASELEE...—I hope my Learned Friend is sa tisfied now he his made his quotation. Mr. Serjeant Pent..—l have made my quotation, Gentlemen, and have your verdict, if you please. Mr. Justice Bwritouoif went over the evidence, and Mid there was not room for a doubt on the subject. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. MURDER• John Radford. alias . Bright, was indicted for the wilful murder of Sarah Down, on the 11th of July • last, at Worlington, in the county of Devon. The Court was crowded to excess at a very early hour, as this case, from its recent occurrence and the extraordinary circumstances attending it, had excited an uncommon degree of interest in the county. The prisOner, who is an extremely well-looking young man, . apparently not znore than, 24 years of age, ex hibited no -emotion on being placed at the, bar, and though he attended to the evidence with a semblance of great attention, yet he throughout gave no indi cation of the slightest sensibility as the horrid parti culars of his crime were detailed. Mr. TONKIN conducted the case for the prosecution. He stated, that the evidence against the prisoner wits in some measure to be collected from an attentive --.,~c,i - , LONDON: Printed arid' Published by LiViL KWh 1' Ping* Tinupie-Ber. • • •1. t; Il * 7 l 'en 4 wifreets. lam Is ta semblance We ne, oar, an° if v niicrto went tge,o Or Sarah 414/1115 Down's, to see if WILII Mc w 1:al t..as she had come ava um Leknaj. and the appearance under the skin was perfectly healthy.

The Learned Counsel then detailed some of the leading facts of the case, and called the following evidence: Mary Down, examined by Mr. ToNaIN.—I liVed at Worlington. I was there on the llth of July last. My sister was with me on that day. We were at work at Mr. Cobley's. Ile lives about half a mile from us. We left work a little alter seven o'clock. We went then to the hind's house (Thomas Gunn). We remained there about.an hour, and we then went to Elizabeth Cole's, at Moor-end. We saw John Radford there. Samuel Melhuish was there in com pany with him. The prisoner asked me to drink. I would not. I said he should ask the right person, and he said which of the two would take the cup and drink should be his wife. I have seen him in com pany with my sister before. She took the cup, but whether she drank or not I do not know. After a time I asked her if she was going home, and she said she would overtake me before I got home. I went homeand left them there, and saw nothing moreof her 'alive. I SAW nothing of her till she was found dead on the following Sunday. This was on the Friday. Cross examinedby Mr. FRASER.—Shehad an apron on at the hind's house: it was tied round her waist. Elizabeth Coles examined.—l live at East W'orling ton. I saw the prisoner at • my house ; he came about eight o'clock in the evening, on the 11th July. Melhuish was with him. 1 saw Mary Down there that evening, andher sister. Sarah Down was hiring herself wall. me as nurse : the prisoner took up a cup and asked Mary Down to drink, she said ) " No, I would rather not, ask of the right ;" he said, " that of you two who drinks with me shall be my wife:— Before they came in, I wished fur Sarah Down to come in : he appeared pleased, and said, " Do you look for her ?" I said yes; he smiled and said, "That is the thing ; she is going to be my wife. I shall not go home till I have seen her." It was nine o'clock when the two women came in, and Sarah stayed after Mary went away. Sarah, Melhuish, and the prisoner went away, in about a Touter or half an hour after wards. Sarah had a basket and a jug in her hand, when they went out ; the prisoner took the basket, and she the jug. 13y the JUDGE.—Sarah appeared in good spirits. Samuel Melhuish examined.-1 know the prisoner. I was in company with him on the 11th of July last. Sarah itnd Mary Down came in. Sarah came to nurse Mts. Cole. The prisoner asked Sarah Down to sit on the settle with him, and she did. 1 did not hear what he said. Mary went away - first, and she desired her sister to go with her, hut she stayed with the prisoner about half :in hour, when she, I, and the. prisoner, went away together. The prisoner had a basket. I parted when we got outside the door. She appeared in good spirits. The prisoner and I had each of us drank a quart of cider only. William Phillips examined.—l know the prisoner, and knew the deceased. I met Sarah Down and the prisoner on the road to Moor-end ; it was about ten o'clock on Friday night. It was the road from Mrs. Cole's house to East IVorlington. I wished Sarah Down a good night, and passed on. James 13ourtre.-1 live at Worlington. I met the prisoner and Sarah Down. The woman then had the basket and jug in her hand, and he had nothing. This was on the Ilth of Juiy. Cross-examined.—lt was on the Friday. Somebody told me it was on the 11th of July. My belief is founded on what I was told. It was two days before I heard she was found. On the Sunday morning I heard she was found. _ . John Down examined.—l am the brother of the deceased. She lived in the same house with me. was at home on the night of the 11th of July. My sister Sarah did not come home thatt night. On the next day, about half-past eight o'clock, when I re turned from labour, I went to Radford's, and my sis ter went with me. I asked if he had seen anything of Sally Down? He said he had not seen her since the last night at half-past ten o'clock, when he left her at Smith's. Smith's is about twenty• five land yards from Cole's house, and about half a mile from the river.— I then returned home, and sent to my brother's to know if •he had been there. _ James Bourne recalled.--I met them nearer to Mr. Cole's house than the 6tatton-gate. Wm. Phillips recalled.—l met them at the Grat ton-gate. The r y had not passed it. %1 m. Headworthy examined.—l live at Worling ton, and was employed to search the river. On Sun day morning, I founi the body floating in the river, near Mr. Smith's field. The water runs on one side of the field. It was near the linhay. Cross-examined.—The bank of the river is almost upright. The deceased's apron &tiring was round her neck. - By the Junoz.—There was no patlrnear the river. It is more than half a mile from Grattonate. I saw no mark of footsteps on the bank, as if any person had been struggling there. Richard Hodd examined.—l assisted in searching for the deceased, and went with my brotherin-law to the prisoner's house at one o'clock in the morning. He was up stairs, and was only partly dressed when he came down. I asked him if he knew anything of Sarah Down ? He said he had never seen her, and knew nothitig of her since he had left her at the Grafton-gate,when he had turned in at Phillip's-gate, about a yard off. He could not utter Isis words, and stood in a very trembling state. I told him the wo man was lost, and had newer been seen or beard of since she was with him, and there was strong sus picion against him. To that he made no answer. I told him he must go with me to Witheridge, and I should put him is the hands of the constable there till the body was found. He said he would go to any place. I said it was an early hour to call up the land lord, and he might, if he pleased, either go up to Witheridge, or along with me to search for the body., We went to Sarah Down's, to see if she had come back, and I kept asking him if he knew anything of her, and whether she had never told him that she was ; with child by him? he said no, never. We went to the house of Sarah, but not finding her there, we agreed to viand search for her. I said to him, 4 , I am 3 stranger, so we will just go to any place where you think proper." He said it was best to go up town (away from the river), as he had never seen her since parting with her at the Gratton-gate. We wcl%t on in that way, and found nothing of her. • We were going towards a lake which empties itself into the river near where the body was found, when he said to me, that on the Friday week before that; he was coming from Stone and she from Horseforcf, and they met in the road together, and she asked him if he knew what the people reported of him and her ? he replied, " No, what is it r She said, " They say I am with child by thee." He said, " Nonsense ! you be'nt with child by me, and I won't father it." We (the pri soner and witness) then got near the lake, and I said " Which way had we best go ?" and the prisoner said, " We had better go up the bottom;" that was going from the river, I said, " I would not go that way, I would, go down and search the great river." Whilst we were talking, some men came up and said the body was found. The prisoner was like a man struck dead: he could scarcely utter a word, or get over the hedge, and the tears trickled dot n the face of him. Weled'him to the branch or the river where the body was. I said nothing to him after the body was found, and the prisoner said nothing, not a word, but cried very much. When we came to Smith's meadow, Smith sent for some cider to drink. I de sired him then to tell me Nhere he had put the basket, because the sister was poor and could not afford to pay for the things that were in it. He said the basket was in Mr. Smith's linhay (a sort of out-house in a farm-yard, where the cows are sometimes kept.) The linharis about 13 or 14 land yards from the place where we found the body. He stood by all the time the body was being taken out of the water: he was crying nearly all the time. We took him in custody to the public.honse, where I asked him if anything had bred any angry words between them? arid he said, no, never. I asked him how he could think of killing her, if he bad had no angry words? he said he never thought of it till the very moment he did it. I asked him if he had tied the apron-string round her neck? he said he did not, but that she had done it herself, because it had rained. I then asked him if he had struck her on the face? because there was a mink on the right side of her face: he said no, be could not account for the wound, and he said, he should not have done it if he had not been drunk. Cross-examined by Mr. FnAsen—l never toldhim it would be better for him to confess. _ _ Henry Burgess examined—l am a constable. The prisoner was put into my custody on Sunday morn ing about seven o'clock. I told him for what he was in custody, and about 11 o'clock he sat down and was crying very much. I said, 68 My man, I think this is a bad job, you seem to think a good deal of it ;" and I asked him whether he had hurt the woman, and whether he was along with her? He said, hewas with her, but he did not say he had hurt her. I said again, " It is a bad job, and I am afraid you are guilty of what you are here for." He made no answer, but cried very much. Shortly after he said, "Oh ! (and clasped his hands together) I never thought of it till the moment I did it; I was very drunk at the time, or else I could not have done it." I then asked him how he came to be talking about the basket? 86 You said the basket was in the Bohn ;" I said. He replied, " I did." I asked him if hi was in the linhay with the woman? and he told me he was. I asked how long they stayed there? He said heitayed there while it rained. I said I supposed it was the place where they went a courting? He said, " No, he never was in the linhay before. I asked him whe ther he went out with her? and he said that he had told her he should go home, and that the had better gn on to her own house; she said she should not go in just directly, as she was afraid her sister was not asleep, and if not, she would fall out with her be , cause of her coming in so late. I then asked him if they went out of the linhay together? he said they &J. I asked him whether they went towards the marsh or towards the water? and he said they went ' towards the water, and walked up and down. I asked him whether he threw her in the water or not? but he gave me no answer. I asked him if she' struggled much in the water? but he gave me no answer. I said, " My man, I really am afraid /on did do it ; I am afraid you threw her in the water." He cried very much, and I said " Good God I I am afraid you are guilty." He said, " I never thought of doing it, neither should I have done it then, had I not been drunk at the time." The Rev. Perry Dickin was then sworn, and was about to be eximined touching the confession which the prisoner had made to him on Sunday whilst he was in custody, but Mr. Fraser, the prisoner's Coun sel, objected to receiving it in evidence. " Mr. Justice BEST concurred with the Learned Counsel, and thought the evidence, under all circus stances, should not be received, although the Rev. Gentleman had not held out any of the ordinary in ducements to extort the confession. Thomas Cross examined.—l am a surgeon. I was called upon to examine the body of the deceased on the 13th of July. I opened the body, and found all the viscera perfectly healthy. She was in a state of pregnancy—about six weeks or two months gone with child. I observed a slight discolouration of_the skiu ender the right ear. Her countenance was much bloated and swollen. I think she died from suffoca tion from immersion in the water. The mark I saw was not sufficient to produce death. There was no mark of violence sufficient to have produced death. Cross-examined.—l did not open her stomach. I did not think it necessary. I opened the cheer of the deceased, but found no water there. It is only when the body begins to decompose that it will float. That will generally take place in about a week. lam aware of what takes place in drowning—the lungs get exhausted, and a quantity of water gets into the stomach. A body drowned would be , speci fi cally heavier than a body killed by other mewl's, and then thrown into the water. Is it not reasonable to suppose, from this body floating so soon, that such was the case here?—She might have been buoyed up by ber clothes. I never saw a body taken out of the water before. It is not often that a body bleeds after death. I did .not open the skull, but I opened the part under the bruise, and the appearance under the skin was perfectly healthy. The blow might have stunned her. The diaphragm is depressed towards the chest ' when the body has been immersed, after death. The diaphragm was so depressed in tliis instance. Re-examiaed.--A person.struck and stunned in falling would drown the more seedily.

By the JUDOE.-4 believe the immediate cause of her death was by suffocation from being immersed in the water. The basket, with the jng, which the deceased had with her on the 11th of July, was here produced by the lad who found it in Mr. Smith's linhay las de scribed by the prisoner), and i dentified by Mary Down. The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. FRASER, for the prisoner, called no witnesses; but suggested that if the blow which the deceased appeared to have received had contributed to Ler death, there was a variance ; as the indictment ought to shew the means by which death had been pro. duced by the act of the prisoner. Mr. Justice BE,T had no doubt that the indictment was sufficient. She might have recovered from thi • blow, but the water Was the cause of ner death. Mr. FRASER said he should have a motion to maki.• in arrest of judgment. Mr. Justice Besr wished the Learned Counse' would state the point now, in order that, if I - rect.-Isar v, he might have the benefit of Mr. Justice Burroughs 1 1 opinion, in case of doubt. Mr. FRASER said his first objection was purely tech.: nical. The indictment stated, that the prisoner cast her into the river, by which casting she died: now, though good sense was perfectly satisfied by this, yet he would suggest that it ought to have gone on and averred that lie took her in his arms. His next ob jection was to the general conclusion, which stated, that the prisoner did kill and murder," but without any venue, which he submitted was necessary ; or if not, the words then and there"should have preceded. Mr. Justice Bisr said he remembered taking a similar objection himself, in the case of Jeremiah Abershaw, and the Judge decided with him ; but this decision, though very satisfactory to him at the time, did not satisfy the Public. The Learned Judge then withdrew into the other Court, to -consult with Mr. Justice Burrough, and on his return he stated that that Learned Judge concurre4 with him in opinion, that there was no foundation for either of theobjections. His Lordship thea told the prisoner if he had any thing to say in his defence:that was the proper time. The prisoner said he would leave it to his Counsel. Judge BEST then summed up the evidence to the Jury, who immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned Judge immediately proceeded, in the most solemn and impressive terms, to pass on him the awful sentence of death, to be executed on the following Saturday. • The whole of the Court was deeply affected, and the Ladies who crowded the galleries were dissolved iu tears; but the prisoner listened with a steady counte nance, only a slight convulsion agitating his features on quitting the bar. DOG-STEALING. Miskr William Green, of Belton -street, Long-acre—commonly calked " Bill Green, the dog-fancier," was on Friday brought before Sir Ilacitaan Blame, at Bow-street, Office, charged with baying stolen a dog belonging to Ft W. Collins, Esq. of Dorset place Clapham-road. The animal, a valuable yard dog, was stolen from its kennel on Mr. C's premises about seven weeks ago, and a few days since Captain Leslie, a friend of Mr. C.'s, learned that it war at the prisoner's house. Mr. C. went thither, accompanied by his f r iend . Captain L. and demanded his dog, when the prisoner ad mitted that he knew where it was, and asked Mr. C. what he would give to get it back again? Mr. C. replied that be would give a guinea ; upon which the prisoner said, "-Why, t will give you two guineas for him, and pay the bloat down, if you'll write me a receipt." After some further altercation, Mr. C. agreed to give two guineas, but declined daring so until the dog should be delivered up to him. "Oh ! very well," said Mister Bill Green—" if so be as you can't trust me with two guineas, screw me tight if you shall have a hair of the tail of him!" Mr. C. attempted some renthastrance, and, in 144, Mr. Bill threatened to" punch bit head for him," at the same time putting himself in a fancy attitude; but Mr. C. had ne fancy to be punched, and be therefore applied at this Office for redress.—Mr. Bill Green, in his defence, gave himself a capital character, and denied that the dog bad ever been in his possession. Sir Barium) Bra= told him that be knew him toe wail to believe him. " Know nee, your Worship !" said Mister Bill, opening hie eyes to their utmost extent, " I don't know what you can know use far!" " Why, I know you," replied the Magistrate, " for the most incorrigible dototeakr in London—for a scoundrel who keeps a regular depoe for stolen dogs ; and for one whose depot 1 will unkennel before long." Mister Bill-was rather taken aback. He said, if time was given him, he would try to produce the Gentleman's dog; but the Gentleman bad offered to fight him for dotsbk or pits, and he thought that would have been the most gentlemanly way of settling it. Mr. C. treated this fighting assertion indignantly, and said some oftlie prison is gang had threatened to send the dog Mono with his head in one box and his body in another ; but he hoped no such atrocity would be resorted to, for he would sooner gift op aU claim to the poor animal than have it injured. " Let Mr. Green go to the watch-house for to-night," • saii the Magistrate. " The penalty you have incurred by steads/ this dog, Mr. Green, is ..f3o ; but if the animal is delivered bier by eleven o'clock to-morrow morning, we may be inclined to let you off more easily." • Mr. Green took the hint; the dog vfas delivered to its go fed owner, and the penalty was remitted.
