Mr. GURNEY mid the COMMON SUNJEANT pro- secutstl tlw case, which was of rather n singular nature, and depended ou circumstances which were proved by a number of different witnesses, and the investigation lasted nearly the whole day. The deceased was a man possessing more property than is usual with permit: in 14 class of life. He lived in a mall cottage adjoining to the Prisoners ; in. deed it had been formerly but one cottage, and had lately been diviiitd into two tenement., the one eecimital by the deceased, and the other by .the .i,Prierfintics. There wine door of emumutileition Si Awry's the two tenements, hut it was grimed, that Adiatever passed in one 'muse could be distinctly heard in the other ; and, as one of the witnesses atisteil, the clock mild be heard to tick. The de ceased, 1113116, was an old man of mar 70. but was - - halo and twenty ; he woes of very penurinas leshitii, and hail merit money, which lie woe fond of•dis. playing.

The whole cottage iii which he lived was tits pro perty, and the prisouer Cooper was Ins tenant for the part which he occupied. Nobody lived in Cooper's part but himself :old his mother, and Hollis, the deceased, lived ante ; r woman of the name of NViailont coining to hum daily to perform his little household urra.igements. On Wednesday, the 3d of Mar, the day prreeding Guildford fair, he hail desired a person of the name of Goddard, to go with bins to the fair, us he wanted to bay some sheep; Goddard told him he could not go with him, luf advised him to be early. On this he declared his intention of breakfasting end setting off the 'Jest morning by four o'cloi k ; and having declared this to Mary Wisdom, he told her she need tint come to him the next Jar, as he should be at the fair ; she therefore did nut *lay make her daily visit, tint, on the Friday, about ten, she aria her daughter, u girl aleint thirteen. The child found the door unfastentd, and, on opening it, she saw !loins Irmo deed on 'the *nor, with a great deal of lineal about hint.

Colueilmistnit. as atkeer from twill, searched the • I house again on the l I th of May, on which secas!cn he found a frock, winch had then been lately wished, and about the sleeves were stains of blood. This, the old woman said, was probably oecarioned by her son's having cut his leg; hut the son after eards denied that any blood was upon it. Upon these circumstances the.prisoners were fully com mitted ; and then it was that the old woman made a confession to several witnes►es ; but as it was not made in the presence of her son, it could not be re ceived in evidence, as far us it went to affect him. She described it to have been done between three and four o'clock in the morning; that the person who did it (her son) was fully bent upon it. She was asked by the witness (El. Hart) why she did not make it known ? She said she could not du it ; that he went in a smirk frock, without shirt or breeches ; and that it made a considerable noise, particularly when the old man fell against the wainscot, She-added, thnt there was no occasion to mender the old man, for they could have got in to the house any hour of the day or night; but the person was fully bent upon doing it. The old wo man, however, always added, that she was urver out of her room, and only looked out at the window. . Several contradictory statements of the Priso ner. beige Riven ni evidence, they were called Uptill for their defence. The than tend lie was innocent, •i:d the old woman. that she had no hand in the murder. The Learned Jiirlsts:ehrerved to the Jury, that this was a case, resuming their most serious atten tion, that they aught arrive sit a ode corichision, from all the circumstances which they loud heard detailed. They would first emisider, a hether the murder was' perpetrated by the Prisoner alone (iT at idl hitlsilti) or with any other, and whether that oilier was the old wanati ? For although site might Of the murder, Mut afterwards endeavour to sereenthe murderer, yet that would make her only iii aeeessary after the fiu:t. ausl not u principal. His Lordship then minutely pointed oat the evi dence, and its bearings as to this point. It appear ed, lie observed, by her own confession, she was looking out at the window.

Wm. doishis was indicted fur the wilful merrier of Turner, In shooting him ou the King's highway, near Farnham, in this county, int the i Slit at' May last. This was a most aggraiated case. The Prisoner was a soldier in the 42d regiment, from which he deserted from 11'ineliester, areeffl• katuietl by two females of the names of El.
