The Statesman. — London, England, 1823-11-03 00:00:00

THE STATESMAN ern& ti, mot dui:tame to get into the gig, and we would ial:e the better Orr way to the cottage. When we arrived to the cottage, Sohn Thnrtell was in the stable. Mr. Prohe:rt said to me, "Dont, take that loin of pork out of 1 Cite go:: take it into the kitchen. and Arabs the cook to ,tress it immediately." I took the Tiork into thit kitchen, :tad remained in the kitchen about ten minutes, when John Tonrrell and Mr. Prohert followid. We went into the prionr. 1 0.. s introduced to Mrs. Prober'. John Thnrtell then railed the and Mr. Probed into the garden, and said, " I have killed that -- that robbed me of 3001. at blind hockey (a fame at cards). " hood (fad!" said Mr. Prohert, " John, surely yon have not been guilty of so rash an act 7"—Jolso Thurtell immediately took from his pocket a very handsome gal watch, and said. " Do you believe me now ? and if you will go with me, I will 'thew yon where he lies deed behind a hedge." Mr. Probert then said, " This has taken such an effect on me, that I most retire and get some brandy." We then went into the ;Allow; the sapper was brought In, which consisted of perk chops, the loin I bronght chin having been rut into chops. I ate five chops, and so did Mr. Probert. John Thrertell declined eating any, as be complained of being ettremely sick. Mr. Probert and I then went into the rerslen again, when Mr, Probert said to me, "Sorely, Hunt. this man has not been guilty of murder?" I ob served it looked very suspicious, -he (John Thttrtell)having so valnable a watch. John Thtirtellfollowed,and asked Mr. Probed and myself if he would accompany and assist him in carrying the dead loan. During this time Mrs. Pro-' hest was gone to bell. John Thurtell said, if neither of you will assist, I will go myself. He accordingly went by Mime' f, and was gone *boat ten minutes or a qnarter of an hone. During the time he was gone, Mr. Probert said to me, " If this is the rase, Hunt, that Jobe Thnrtell has. murdered the man, it will, ultimately, be the ruin of me abd my family." After this conversation was over between me and Mr. Probers, John Thnrtell returned, saying— " This -- is too heavy for me; and if yon trout 'assist 1 roe, I shell rot the bridle on my horse, and throw the dead min across his hack." He accordingly put the bridle on his horse for that purpose. Mr. Probed and me, while 'he was gone the second time, went into the parlour. endive , said to me, " Hunt, this has taken such an itiert of ail, and I am so agitated that I don't khow what to do? De said, what will my wife think ? I observed to Mr. Prohert —Yon may do as yon please ebont going to bed; I shall not go to bed. as I am confident I . sfrall sot be able to sleep• after having he art.' this horrid account from John Thurtell. John Thortell then 'returned to us in the parlour, acid said to Mr. Probert and myself, " I have thrown the dead man into your fislopond.'". Then by--, Sir," said Mr. Pre-' hers, " I insist upon your immediately going and taking him away off m y premises, for such conduct will evideotly I be my ruin." We and Mr. Prober', and John 'Floated went to the pond, where we saw the toes of a man, ortit least we had every reason to believe ft was a man, accord. ieg to his own sottement. , Jolla Tbnrtell then got a line or rope and threw it room' the fm", they idragged it to ; the centre of the pond. John Thnrtell then said to Mr. Probert, " don't give yourself a momenta uneasiness, the. man shall not remain here long—yon well know, Proberte that I wield not do any thing that wankd injure rots Or your family. We then trent into the parlour; J. Thurtc l ll 'boor himself noon some chairs, Mr. Probert went up tb his wife, I believe; I sat in an arm-chair. Next warning, t.f•er breakfa , t. Mr. Probert said "you are going to. town" to'u'r and John 'Thnrtell, "but I shall expect yon' will return t -morrow (inielay) to dinuer," which I promised, owl did. Mr. Prober; said to John Thnrtell " ro'n.l and bring a piece of roast beef with yon. or we sltatl have nothing fur dinner. We then left the cottage. on.l went to London. I left John Thnrtell at Mr.Tstselra (the leoaelt and Horses) with his brother 'Mom tin• Sunday morning we left Mr. Trtaell's in a horse and gig, taking wi la usa piece of roast beef and two battles of rum. • John Thurtell said to me, when ate got as far as Tyburn " brother Tom is a head and Thomas Noyes." (Thomas Noyes is a brother-in-law of Mr. Probert). When we got to the bAtom of Maida-hill, we took up Thomas Thurtell. who joined us for the express purpose of seeing his two children, and bed been on a visa to Mr. Probert s.— When we bad 'ravelled three or four miles from Maids hill, we met Thomas Noyes. John Thurtell got out of the Or, leaving me and Thos. Thurtell together in it. to snake the best of onr way to the cottage, in order that Thos. Thortill was gone to fetch Noyes and John Thnrtell.-e. When ire arrived at the cottage, the horse that we Wert down with was talc , n out of the gig and Mr. Prohert's put in. After Thomas Mitten was gone to full Soya a and John Thurtell, Mr. Probed saitt to me, " I have not had a moment's peace since I saw you last, in consequence of that man lying in my pond." My reply was " I am sore you have not had a more restless night than niV self." :shortly slier that, 'Thomas and John Thurtell and Mr. Noyes arrived at the cottage. We then, I mean the whole four of us, (Hunt, Thomas and John 'Ft urtell, anti Noyes,) walked across a ploughed field ire() a lane, and returned to the cottage. When we ar lived at the cottage. there was a gentleman whose name I do not know, but I believe Lim to be the Lindeman that ()ens the estate, came in.—J. Noyes, the Tburtells, and myself walked about tbe gronoda till we werecalled in by out. of Themas 1 hurtell's children, to dinner. After dinner we had some rum and water, and sat for the spite of three hours, and then had tea. After tea we had some 1:10e rum anti water, and then we went the stable to ve use horses. We then had supper. John Thurtell, myself, Thomas Noyes, and Mr. Probed sat up till about half-past one. Mr. Probed and 'Thomas Thurtell then went to bed. learioo; me, John Thnrtell, and Noyes up. About ba'f en hour after they %etre gone to bed, 'Thomas Noyes followed, !caving John 'f burtell and auyselfin the parlour. .'.,tut Thirsted desired the servant to bring in some coals.- 1 said to Jo' it Thnrtell, I shall lay down on the sofa. He dhe nl4 sit' op an 4 smoe. I left him smoking by the tire, w om ith l las back towards k tne, and I lay down palling iny great coat over me. Ab.,ut half past six in the roarcine• the servant came into tbe room. John Thurtell asked if the buy Jew was op. The servant laid . " no, and i t has a great shame that her master, Mr. Prober', should i ; • o p .neh ~ boy as him in idleness." Doting this time, el;. Prolhot came down stairs, and the boy followed. —llO desired the boy to put the horse in his owra . gig, which was done immastiately, and Thomas Thur. tell and myself came to town, hilnging with us the boy ti.cv cali.d " Jetn." When we got as far as the Bald Face Stag, we breakfasted. From thence we went to Mr. Tetsell's, where Thomas Thurtell was informed that the Lail he had put in was not accepted. About half past II I called at say mother's, in Cumberland Street, New Road. After I had seen her going from the New Road towards the Yorkshire Stingo,• 1 suet John 'Tirana', Thos. N o yes ; and Miss Noyes, his sister. John Thnrtell asked me if the bail wan accepted ? I said, No. He• then got out of she gig, and T. Noyes abd his sister drove sway. I and John Thurtell walked to Mr. 'l'etsell's. 'l'. Martell ask• d me if I could return 3n ttnit day, and inform Mr. Probert that his hail had been refused, to which I con sented. Akott halt past four 1 surfed : as 1 was going I along John 'chattel! came to the end of the street to use, 1, and :aid If you are going to Probert's I may as well go with ton, and get that man soav• (meaning the • Wool that was left ia,the powl).

Shortly after that, J. Thurtell asked me and Mr. P. if we would put his horse in the gig, and take it round to the second gate. We put the horse to, and did so. , John Thanell then came across a small field, with a dead man in a sack. with his legs banging out. He then asked Mr. P. to assist him to put the dead body in the chaise, which Mr. P. refused to do. ale. P. immediately ran away, and said I cannot stop any longer, my wife will think it very strange. lie then asked me to assist him ; I refused, saying, the sight of a dea4 man was quite enough without touching it. John Thurtell then pit in the corpse in the chaise, and tied the feet to the dashiug iron. He asked me if I would get into the gig, but I declined, and told him that I would walk on, and be would overtake me. When I got within a short distance of this house, John Thanell told me tbat he hail thrown the corpse into that marshy pond I had just passed. I then got into the gig, awl lett John Thurtell about two o'clock that morning, at the house where he then lodged, and went home myself immediately —That, Broder/leo, is the whole of the evidence I have to give to night.

The bag was left in the gig all night, anti was brought to my hones in the morning. I and John Thurtell walked on Saturday morning through a ploughed field, and broke through a hedge into a lane ; it Was not so late as &wen o'clock. We saw two men in the line, to whom J. Thurtell said he bad lost a handkerchief and a knife ; the lane was a quarter of a mile from Probert's hous Nothing was said about being capsized. After leaving the lams we went to breakfast. ate n iten.lkerchief. Idi I not sponge any 'clothes ; but I brushed John Thartell's clothes at bit request. —1 took a spade down in the chaise with me. I was requested to do so, but don't know for what purpose. Thomas Thurtell threw it over a hedge near the gate where the body was brought out by him naked. I di :l not see it nsel ; l suppose it was brought for Mr. Prohert's use, On that day I bad black whiskers and mustachios ; you :nay see they are now cut off ; I have a hall beard, and cut them off for my own pleasure ; I have been its the hahit of doing so; I cut them off at my lodgings in London. I have no objection to sign this statement. Probert was brought before the Jary, and he entered Into a full statement of his connexion with the Thurtell's and Hunt. Ile admitted that he dined with them on the Friday the murder took place, and conveyed Hunt down to his house in his chaise at the request of John Thurtell ; that he put Hobt down a short distance from his boast., who said be had promised to meet John Thurtell there; that whim be arrived at his gate, John Thurtell met him, and said, "that he had killed his friend ; and done the trick;'' that he exelaimed, "Good God ! you have not Committed murder!" that the body was after wards removed by Hone and John Thurtell to the pond ; that he lent John Thurtell six pounds in London, when they dined Condeit•street, and received six pounds from him in his par lour on the night of the murder, when John Thurtell produced a note ease, containing three five pound notes, and a purse con taining sovereigns, and said, "This is oil I got by the job ;" that the body was subsequently removed by John Tuomell from his pond to another place ; that he found a spade on his grounils, and that Hunt assisted In removing the body. lie then made a general declaration of his Innocence of the mur der, and protested that he dill not know the man's name, or who or whet he was, and never had seen him in his life. The CORONCR addressed the Jury at some length, and they returned a verdict of Wtt.rt:r. native against John 'Martel as a principal, and against Hunt and Prober' as accessories before the fact. The prisoners ware conveyed to Hertford Gaol. The Coroner and dory expressed their convietion of T. Thurtell's innocence of the tackler, and acquitted him; but he was detained on a warrant brought down from Lou' don, on a charge of conspiring to set fire to his house to defraud the County Fire Odic*. Tice body of the murdered nasn was closed in a coffin, and carried under a pall by six bearers to Eistree church yard, at eleven o'clock last night. 'f be corpse was folldwed by most of the Jery, and the brother of the deceased as chief mourner, the church bell tolling daring the time, and the town in a state of peculiar excitement; most of the inhabitants were assemLled to witness the affecting scene. The deceased was a hole manovith high cheek bones, bis face narrowing to the chin; sallow complexion and' having very muck the appearance of a Jew. He was fur. merly a waiter, but la!terly engage , ' in gaming concern', he frequented races with an H. O. table, and was irvll known in gaming tirzies. lie was extremely penurious, wad generally carried from 1,IK)OI. to 2,0001. abent his. person. This Was always contained in an old poeket-book and Placed next his skin. beneath his shirt. This was known to all who were in the habit of being Is his I mu paoy. None of his property has been found, except the contents of the bag. The prisoners are all well known as men of the town. Hunt is the brother to Mr. Hunt, the vocal performer at Covent Garden, and was in the habit himself of singing in public. His mother formerly lived in Bride Lane, and now lives in Marylehone. He married the sister to Mrs. Mountain, who kept the Naval Coffee House in St. Mar • - tin's-lane, and afterwards kept that house himself ; presid ing frequently as chairman to a Free and Easy Clu b . His profligate life soon led to his destruction, and he aban doned his wife. Ile has since lived in a most suspicious manner. The two Thurtell's are sons to Alderman Thurtell, of Norwich, a man of the highest respectability. They have recently become notorious from the action brought by them against the County Fire Office, for the destruction of their premises in Watling Street. The de fence was that the fire was wilfully occasioned, but they recovered. The County Fire Office have since found a bill against them on the evidence of one of their female com panions of whom they made a confidant.—John Thurtell mixed with the lowest sporting sharacters, and was known in the prize ring. On one occasion he backed and seconded the Birmingham Youth, or Martin. we forget which.— Probert was formetly a wine-merchant, and has taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. When examined under his commission of baokrnpt. his account rendered was so unsatisfactory, that the Corm missioners refused to let him pass his examination and was imprisoned for a long period. While in the King's Bench he lived sumptuously, and expended a great deol of money. He was a constant inmate at the Coffee-room, and ingrati ated himself into the confidence of the family of the pro prietor there, and it was said that a more than ordinary intimacy subsisted between Probert and the landlord's daughter. At length, a breach took place, and Probert was charged with making too free with the till. He was in dicted, tried, and convicted at the Sessions House, Horse monger-lane for the felony.and imprisoned•some months in the House of Correction at Brixton. It is pretty evident that the murderers expected to obtain a considerable sum of money which it was believed be car ried concealed about his person. In the sporting world, ac cording to the statement of Mr. Hex worthy, his intimate acquaintance, be was considered to be " a two thousand pound man," the whole of which is supposed to have been acquired at the gaming table. The chambers of the de ceased in Lyon's Inn have been padlocked and sealed. POLICE. GU I LDUALL.—RS•EXAMINATION OF Mrs. Lewis FOR BIGAMY.—This case was brought befote the Magistrate last week; but the particulars were not gone into, in consequence of the uon-appearance of the second has. band. Mr. /Lamm produced the certificate of the second marri age of Mrs. Lewis to T. Metcalfe. Daniel Kirwin, clerk to Mr. Lewis, said it was a true copy; bad examined it with the original register. Mr. Lea is. is a conveyancer in the temple. Said he and Merchant a I searched to serve the warrant on Metcalfe.He could be found no where. They were told at his lodgings that he was out of town. Mr. lILTNIPRREY 8, who now appeared for Mrs. Lewis, said he objected to the receiving of the certificate of the second marriage. He said the way of proceeding in cases of bigamy war, first to prove the first marriage ; that done. then to prove the secoud. Mr. Lewis being the prosecutor, his evidence could not be taken. There was as yet no proof of the first marriage baring taken place. The certiG mate might be that of any other two persons of the same name; and until this first marriage was satieacturily proved, he hoped the Magistrate would liberate Mrs. Lewis. Mr. HARMSR contended that the first marriage wasproved beyond any doubt; end he agpoaled to the Magistrate fer, , his opinion. The Magistrate said, if Mee. Lewis bad not. on a fore going day, pone into the merits of her case (of which, he had given tier weaning not, in do so,) on sithicb occasion ' ! ," A - • ruimm ~,~s she nvorteit her marriage to Mr. Lewis. and her going to Air. betties chambers, and, on being refused to see him, site said " She would see Wm, as lee Seas her :awful husband." if all this Intl not happened he would certainly lean to Mr. Hamphrey's opinion, which was correct in law, and he would discharge her ; bet, under all the circumstances of the case (which he considered a very extraordinary one to give his opinion on), he shonhl remand Mrs. Lewis till Monday, and that she should be taken mach care of. Halroar Htenes:.— poor lad. named Benjamin. Hay, who gets his living by hawking beads abort the streets made into the fonn of necklaces, appeared to complain of the conduct of Weldon, a street-keeper of Holborn. The lad stated that his snother was left a wi.hyv with six vounz children, C that to assist in etiaintainn.r, them he sold beads shoot the streets. As he was walking through Hoihora with his necklaces, Weldon took them forcilely away, abusing an I beating him at the same tiny-. Weldon was sent fur, and admitted having taken from the lad his neck laces, which he had lo !gee' i n the County Green Yard. lo proof of his statement he produced a piece of impel-, which he had written with a view of giving to the lad. This paver stated that the lad might have his property on payment of a penalty of 40s. Mr. Boxers severely reprimanded the street-keeper, whom conduct he declared to be most illegal and mains , - tklahle ; and he ordered him to iduluediately restore to tile lad his property.

SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marriage, to en rsptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wires, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and "The Spectatnr" has stormed, thst tho word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name iu dater,. The sacred Institution, then, of marriage, compasses the desiderata's of our enjoyment; teeming not only with hap piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli gation, it becomes an imperative ditty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grAser nature from those Impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. T. the neg act Filch attention ate attributable, many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, shoull.aiso4 Impress him with the fear of Self-repro:.ch. Luxurious habits will effeininize the body—a gesidenee In !the tropia will relek the elastic fibre—hut more especially !does the premature infatuation of youthloo frerionntly cols ;promise the natural dtgody into a state of inanition, from 'whence the rigoAsed suff:'er more thee doubts the chines •of relief.
