The condition on which this information was sought, was that the Magistra tes b should reemonstred Mtn to the Court at the trial, to become a Mims, sod to pews he bbd a free pardon, provided he had as hand in the actual aesseilides of the murder. This overture or made, as the deponent alleged, by the sanction and direction of the Magistrates. The d further added, that in consequence of this communication,7r at eph Hunt did discover where the body lay concealed, and stated to be his firm belief, that if such information had not been given by the prisoner Hunt, the body of Mr. Weary would never have been found. Mr. GURNEY said that he was prepared with affidavits to refute the facts stated in the foregoing affidavits. He would, however, not trespass upon the time of the Court in reading them, unless his Lordship deemed it expedient. Thus were the affidavits of Mr. Clutterbuck and Mr. Mason, the Magistrates, and also that of the Coronet who attended at the inquest, whose depositions contradict ed the principal allegations in those of Hunt and Mr. Noel. (Here a constable entered the Court with a young man of the name of tirassart, in custody. who he stated was rioting. The constable wus sworn to the fact, and Mr. Justice PARK directed the prisoner for the present to be committed u • rioter.) The deposition of the Magistrates was then signal and sworn to by Messrs. Clutterbuck and 31ason. TI e affidavit stated that the deponents were Magistrates of the county of Ilertford ; that they were present in that capacity at the inquest held for the supported murder of Mr. V. on the 24th of October; that several wit nesses were there examined, and that Mr. Noel attended on that occasion as the professional friend of thedeceascd Mr. Weave ; that a venlict of " wilful murder" had been returned by the Coroner's Jury against John Thurtell a s p r i nc ip a l i n t h e murder, and against William Probat and Joseph Hunt as necessaries before the fact ; that, towards the close of the investigation, and before the finding of the verdict, It was proposed, through Mr. Noel, that Joseph Hunt should be admitted as evidence for the Crown, with the pro vision that he had not been concerned in the actual commission of the murder. The deposition of the Magistrates disclaimed on their part the fact of hating in any way bound themselves, or made any promise, to Hunt, as to the admissibility of his evidence, or in re. Terence to a fee pardon. Their communication to him was simply confined to the promise, that if he were not an accomplice in the actual commission of the murder, and would make a full and true confession of all that he knew concerning the murder, they (the Magistrates) would lay such confession before the Court at the en suing Assize', and state to the l'ourt the circumstances under which It had been node. They abstained, however, from giving any as amen« as to the result of their making melt a statement to the Court, and cautiously guarded themselves against any pledge or promise, either se to his evidence being admitted or a free pardon ex. tended to hint. The depositions of the Magistrates, in conclusion, complained of &breach of faith on thepartof the prisoner Hunt. as in stead of a full and true disclosure, the confession which he male was found many parts materiallydeficient and unsatisfactory. There were two inure affidavits to he read, in answer to those of Hunt and Mr. Noel; one, the affidavit of Mr. Rooke, the Coroner, who pre sided at the inquest, and the other of Mr. Reaworthy. The officer had commenced to read part of the affidavit of Mr. Rooke, which confirmed that of the Magistrates, as to the fact of no promise having been held out to Hum of the admissibility of his evidence on their responsibility. Mr. Justice PARK interrupted the further reading of this affi davit. He took this opportunity of expressing his surprise and astonishment at an affidavit in this cause having been in print at the very moment at which he was called upon to give judgment in this Court upon it. His astonishment was the greater, as spo tation had been made to him upon the instructions of those - tors, to inhibit its publication. In interrupting tht readiv of the present affidavit he was induced to do so purely from motives of tenderness and compassion to the prisoner Runt, for be a”re. hended that facts might be stated that we e ld ie zve prejudicial to him on his trial, should his trial be in. Perhaps the object of the a ffi davits would probably telly attained by their being handed fo Counsel, who might mums them.

This was sums-- t r .__ bad not given the full and true disclosure that he made him liable to the imputatim of a crime of a d tion from that with which he now stood charged. Latiesad Counsel in Conclusion, urged the delay that had *pea in mating this apilication : it might have been made at the lent Amities. Mr. 11E1810En, in support of his original application hoped that the Judge would determine the present question on its own merits, and not on any point of form. A postponement had taken place last Assizes on grounds distinct from these on which the pre sent application was made. He had to acknowledge the advantages which his client derived from that postponement; for as he had been but a short time previoes to the Assizes entrusted with his defence, he was not supplied with those means for his vim dication with which he was now furnished. And had this trial been proceeded in at the last Anises, he should have been taken by surpOse, and undertaken his client's case in • state of very imperfect preparation. As to the delay which had elapsed in making this application, if there were a well-founded ground for urging it, the delay must have prejudiced Hunt alone, 1 and instead of invalidating, should only serve to strengthen his original claim. As to the admission of the evidence of accompffem not principals, as witnesses for the Crown, by Magistrates, then were the cases of the King v. /odd, and anima late OffellaT6lollll Essex, which sufficiently showed that such power had been ex ercised by them.

Mr. Justice ?MIL said, that the topics which had been addressed to the Court with so much vehemence and propriety did not apply to him. They might furnish excellent matter for an appeal for mercy to the King, if upon the trial the prisoner were convicted ; but they formed no subject for the consideration of this Court. As to the delay in making this application to the Throne, he saw no reason why such an application might not as well be made whilst he was in custody as Whilst he was out of it. As to the case of Mn Rodd, although free pardon was granted, nevertheless the trial was proceeded is ; end be was not clear but that the applica tion fur delay in that case was made before plea pleaded. As to the conduct of the Magistrates, he was disposed to believe that they acted front the beat and most proper motives. He DODId not say that they acted either incautiously ur indiscreetly : these was no right or power vested in them to make such a pledge as it had been said on one hand that they made, and which they on the other disclaimed. That they did not conceive, themselves, they had such a palter, was manifest from the !applications made at the Amazes I and at the Old Bailey Sessions fee - the permission of the Judges to admit the testimony of witnesses for the Crown. In the present instance it did not appear that the Magistrates had such power as had been attributed to them. As to the admissibility of Prober', which had been referred to, It was paid that he did not know of the negotiations Odd had been entered into with Hunt. It was craft he bad no knowledge of that negociation from the newspapers t but the depositions were before him, andifrom them he knew of them. It was not his duty, however, to advert to them. An epplteetion was made for the admissibility of one witness, and he acceded to it, as war his constant practice when such applications were made on the responsibility of the prosecuting party. No mention or re quest was made for the admission of Hunt's testimony, and he was in no way called upon then to advert to that prisoner. The redo. eiations stated to have been entered into with Ilunt appeared to be an assurance given to him on the responsibility of a person named Noel, of when be was wholly ignorant, and to whose to the Court was not bound to attend. Ile concluded wit • repeti tion of what he had at first said, that what had hew stated that day might be introduced in an appeal for mem to his 3lajc .4, but it furnished no grounds to warrant him trimdwitig a second postpone ment of the trial. Thurtell here requested that his Counsel and Solicitors mien be accommodated with seats near each other. Thurtell spoke in a dear and manly voice. Owing to some con fusion in Court, however, Mr. Justice Park did not hear him, and 311.Wilvon, the Gaoler, repeated the request. Mr. Justice PARK, addressing Thurtell.—Certalnly, sir.

Mr. (Juarez!—Let the witnesses on all fides retire from the Court. ----- The witnesses widfdrow accordingly. Mr. Bioutaigi this opened the pleadings. Mt. 01.111 INT sext proceeded to state the ease for the don ; boc for some time the confusion both within and without the was so great, dila we could not hem the Reamed CounseL Mr. Justice Pain complained that it was imposaible to proceed amid such continued intefruptions from without, and such noisy inauention within. Silence having been partially obtained, Mr. Guaxer resumed his address to the Jury. We under stood him to say, that at length the Jury was impeached to try the prisoners after a delay granted at their instance, to avoid the prejudicial effects that might have resulted from the great excita tion then existing In the public mind, but which now happily had in • grog measure mad The delay that had been granted would therefore conduce to the more satisfactory administration ofjustice. During the time that had elapsed, he misted all feelings of preju dice against the pristine, had decayed, and that the Jury were now assembled under suet circumstances as would enable them to ad minister justice to the perfect satisfaction of the couritry. It was important that criminals should be punished, in order that crime might be repressed. There was only one thing more important, and that was, that punishment should fall only upon the guilty ; and it was the diodaguishing characteristic of English law, that it was careful to avoid - retry thing that could unduly tend to preju dice the case of an accused person ; for indeed it was felt that it would be of little importance to any men that he was an inhabitant of this country, if How anv defect in the safeguards of the consti tution be was liable to suffer unjustly: The laws of England had, therefore, as a protection of Inman life, established a wise institu: lion, called the Coroner's Inquest, which indeed was the country making Inquiry respecting the delth of an individual. There were also inquiries before the Magistrates, before the °rand Jury, and, lastly, before such • Jury as he had then the honour of addressing, who were sworn to bear the evidence on both sides, end finally pro -1 flounce on the guilt br innocence of the parties accused. On that evidence, and on that alone, he wished them that day to give their verdict. They had, perhaps, heard much before they had entered the jury -box, and much that was erroneous in all probability. lie trusted they would forget it all, and come to the consideration of the question before them with pure and dispassionate judg ments. The crime with which the prisoners stood charged was undoubtedly of the most heinous nature, and attended with no common circumstances of aggravation. It was imputed to one of them that he had committed the murder, and to the ether, 111;;;13114UIiill to be brought under the consideration of King upon their oath present, that John Thurtell, lam of the pa. Ind the objection that would lie fo the reading of all the fish of Aldenhip, in t4i~e county of Hertford, labourer, not hay. iil, he avoided. ing the fear of God before his eyea, bbt being moved and se- iner usid, that the afildavflpek the Magistrates fully dueed by the instigetiss of the Devil, on the 24th 4y of (k- -id refuted the farts ofidunt'il deposition.

When they considered the nature of the ese and the 04,- gravations with which the crime was attended, they mutt feel ttut it called for strong proofs; for if the prisoners west.ltuilty of the crime alleged against them, they were guilty of murdering a moan with whom they had been in habits of intimacy, it trot of friend. ship. It was said that the deceased had done one of them an injury. Whether he bad or not was doubtful ; bet with respect to the other no injury was pretended tO hare proceeded from the deceased; he fell their unsuspecting victim, Inveigled into their _power on the specious pretenceof enjoying a few dose pleasure in their company. Murder WWI a crime which might emphatically be called a deed of ' toasty. The murderer chose his own time, place, and o p any ; he aimed a time when he thoug n ht, at least, no h eye saw him, no ear heard him ; and therefore it was gen y most difficult to detect him by the evidence of eye or ear witnesses to his deed. In most cases the prosecutors were compelled to resort to cirammilential evidence ; and frequent?: such a combittation of dr cumplairele pai ld lie traced a. amounted to an equality of certainty wilh re vs testimony of eye-witnesses. There was another =of evidence—that of accomplices. It was undoubtedly de. in all eases, that all the criminals should be reached by the arm of public justice, but it was not always risible to insure the conviction of any of the °raiders, without admitri:ig same of the parties to become evident* &gait* 'the otben. trest=ta rem swine erhoinals se eeeepd; dor for the onilaliednent el elm *sty *deo tided to amp, the "Menet of these whom they detected. On • conftd and aexfous consideration of the case, the Colonel for the promotion had decided upon submitting to his hardship the prppnety of ad mining one of the accomplices to become evidence. He al l to the person they had just acquitted ; and as something had been said on that subject, he was entious to assure the Jury, that there vu no b-eseh of faith--no shadow of a breach of faith—towards the prisoner Hunt. Whets faith was pledged it was essential to the integrity of the compact that it should be kept on both sides. If the party admitted on condition of disclosing all he kndy, dl not perform that condition, he had no claim whaterer on the merciful consideration df his country. The persons whom it became his 1.31 r. Outnejt's) duty to introduce to the Jury, in order that they might Understand t he case, were, first, the deceased, the late Mr. William Waste. It was said he was a person math addicted to play ; and it had been suggested that he was connected' with gaming -haulm but whether he was the most or dealt retimitge member of society formed no part Of the consideration of the Airy. John Thortell, the prisoner at the bar, had been on terms of ac quaintance and in habits of play with the deceased, soda had been alleged that Thurtell had reason to complain Orat the deceased, at play, bad tricked him out of some money. The other prisoner, Joseph Hunt, uhro hew Wane, but was not in habits of play or intercourse with him.
