MAIDSTOWIC, L/LC. 17. MURDER AT ISESAIENHAItf. "Ammo Comma:, aged Z, wee indicted for the wilful murder of I . l.utniti Morion, at llearnhaen, en the 111th of August, by blooming him with a gnn luaoiril with gunpowder and slugs. This trial excited consiskrable interest, and occupied the whole ela Ilanneatea (with were lily. Cs•altint and Mr. l'AT011) anted the ease for the prosecution, and gave • succinct detail of the minute, and somewhat curious circumstances by which he proposed to bring the charge hone to the prisoner. The de ceased was uneler.gerdener in the envice of Emanuel (lengthen. Esq. who needed at Langley Park, in the ravish of Beckenham. In amsequettee of the prosecutor's garden having been rubbed on sheath of May lint of eleven pine apples. two only of which were ripe, anti also of a gun belonging to the deceased, he, the de ceased, was directed in fumes to sleep in • small room at the Leek of the het-homes, for the better protection of the premises. in tint °tension the footeems of a man of onnusual stature were traced in the garden. When the head gardener went to work at ate o'cleek on the morning of the 17th August, he hound the de. caned lying dangereasly woutided, in the green-house, and about ems o'cluek on the taint day he expired. In his dying moments he silted that two rota bad entered the garden in the night, armed with a mm, and, upon making his appearance, one of them shot him. Ile returned the fire, but without efiect. From • lettuce bed un which he bad fallen, he crawled to the green-houes, where fr was limed. In the gimlet'. on this occasion, were discovered the impressions of it large (out, corresponding exactly with those which had been seen after the robbery on the 11th May. The pri mmer was a retitarkebly tall man, and his shoe, which were inches in leerit, tallied precisely with the font-marks found on both occasions its the garden. About five o'clock on the morning of the 17th Augnst the prisoner was seen at Lewisham, on his way to London ; on the Idtli May, the day after the robbery fast above trebtionced. he o ff ered ftw sale. to a fruiterer at Kennington, two ne.applea, one of which was unripe, but the fruiterer refu sed to buy them, sospec•ing they had been stolen. Again, on the 17th Atu nia'. the day after the murder in question, the prisoner offered Dottie fruit to the same person for sale. Suspicions were then awakened ; the fruit was purchased, but only paid for in pert, the fruiterer desiring lam to call again for the remainder of the money, in artier that, in the mean time, he might have an °ppm 'unity of rewertaining whether the fruit had been honestly come by. 1), the 9d September the prisoner came again to the same fruiterer, onti cenred some melous and peaches for sale. The fruiterer gating heard of the runnier, immediately secured him, and took him to lanlou Ilan. Reline be was searched he retired to a privy. and immediately afterwards • pistol was found in the sewer, which had evidently been concealed shout his pernem. Ile was then f -nr-ited and in his picket" were found a steel gun charger, con tenting :hot and pi. ees of bath, together with a pruning knife, and some old glossa. At an early hour en the !9th of July, the pd. *nix? was seen coining out of a wood called %Vestwontl. rear El there. This cirtuintetance exciting ohaervation, the wood was ogn-ehed, end at • open to which his footsteps were traced, was leitnti a gun in a seek, al4h turned out to be the identical gun which it. to to stolen. Iron the deceased on the fith of May. The person bevel the gen drew the charge, and, instend of the powder, o tth•titeatel some letters, and after making it, replaced the min in tee 't,ck to they had found it, intending to watch who came fir it. Tie y sat tip two nights, unsuccessfully, and during the third it nice taken away by some person tinpecental. In letober, doe same ifoie w-s found emcee/et! tu a field called Smithfield. between Ike enkon church tied Mr. floadhart's premises. Round the lurk wes bed an old glove, which was afterwards discovered to be the tetboe of one of the !doves hand on the prisoner's penon. Upon v.-nit-ening the shot anti slugs extracted from the body of the de. with the contents of the gun, the pistol taken from the privy, anti the steel charger found on the prisoner's perigee, rehl re rarely, there was a remarkable similarity between then. in every re spect. hut another still more singular coincidence wan observable. in the prisoner's lodging were fennel some Peres of paper which had funned mince') wrappers, and upon being compared with e.e wadding of the gun and pew!, so completely dove-tailed. se to leave no doubt whatever that the prisoner had wadded both instru. twins. These chruntstances put tngether were mina sufficient to justify the conclusion that the prisoner was the perpetrator of the niorder. Hut the case did not rest here. The prisoner cohabited with a young woman tamed Lawrence, to whom, at the time he wee apprehended, he was about to be married. From her tes timony gr would appear, that on the morning of the 17th of August, Seining IWwn out all night, he awe home jaded and tired, and was evidently labouring under a dependent of sprits. In the course of conversation be told her that he had shut a man ; but said, that if he had not done so, the man would have shot him. The murder at Seekentuant having afterwanle reached her ears, she expressed her leen to the prisoner, in consequence of a hat he had told her, upon which he threatened that if ever she mentioned to any body what he had !Mid, he would shoot her. If all these circumstances would reasonably justify the Jury in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner had committed the endow , offence laid to his clirage, it mild be their duty to convict him; hut if there was so touch doubt upon the case, that th ey could not conscientiously draw out inferent.e so final to the prisoner, they ought to say so by their ver dict. Whit h every way they detemiined the question, the per. pOILCII of this prosectition would he satisfied. The prissier, who was in a most destitute situation, was de fended by Mr. Creilleetin. Gawp Lyne„ head gardener of Mr. lloodhart, at leuigloy.park, deposed, fist the deceased was the under gardener. In the garden are thee hot-houses, and • seed-house. On the 11th of Slay last we last turn ripe and nine unripe pine apples, and • gun belonging to thedereaseol. I saw a large footstep on a bonito which I com pared with my own. They were nearly twelve Inches long. After this time Morgan used to sleep in the Deed-house. I saw Morgan about its o'clock in the evening of the of Auguit, when I left work. About sir the nest morning I found him Icing upon the Sage in the green.lionie, badly wounded. I found ii hay-fork at the end of the pinery. I put h to the marks on the outer gate. which had been broken, and they corresponded. I saw large foot steps in the garden, and in the orchard, and traced them from tbenee across the lane, up the hank, over into a meadow, called Smith-field, which is about a mile from Fir. 600,1h:tit's premises, and one note and • half front lieckenhatti church. A person might go arrow there to Beckenham church. lint there was no foot path. Charles WilletL--Saw blood on the lettuce bed. and tin the strawberry bed, and picked up a gun of Fir. tioodhart's in the ganlen. Mr. William Scott, • surgeon of Beckenham, deposed, that he examined the deceased; lie on wounded all 04111 the cheat, hands, arid arms, with shin ; besides one severe wound near the centre of the right breast, he had two near it.. stern and another near ttie centre of the left breast. lle died at half-past one on the 17111. On the 11th Benumbs, the body was disinterred and tinned. I tnund Blithe lunge four slugs, one shot, and a piece of gravel, and one slug and one shot in the chest. Ann llarhek attended the deceased on his dying bed. He com plained of a violent pain in his stomach, amp was in great agony. asked him if be knew the persona who shot hint ? Ile said he did "Mt, but that two cot n came into the gsnlen ; lie went out to see what they were about, when one of them shoo at I , anti he re turned the lire ; they were dressed in costs and trowsers. James Pante, liow-street petrel, corroborated Lyne as to the Cotatepe, and saw • footstep with Dade, in the lane leading to.. wards lininiley. Mary Wright Lawrence, the young woman alto had cohabited 'lnth the prisoner, deposed, that she occupied • back-room, one_ pair, in Fox's-buildings, Kent-street, Borough.

NOT 4T Hour, on Tug DOCTOIII ntsrunan.n.--Amongst the regular turnout of irregular watchhousc furniture from the de pot at the la:waster Estate, on Saturday morning, there was one article of peculiarly boil's..

DREADFUL ACCIDENT-EXPLOSION Ul O .1 STEAM-ENGINE ROLLER. ] Further particulars, from the Manthoter Girard4re of Saturday.] On Tuesday evening last, the neighbourhood of Major-street, in this town, was thrown 400 great consternation and sham by an explosion which sheer,s every house in the vicinity, and induced sonny persons to thil.k that an earthquake had taken place; hut, on inquiry. it WAS found that the shtick was caused by the berating of the boiler tit a steam-zrigine, on the vim:scan' Messrs. Windsor and Co. machine-makers, in Major-street. The premises consisted of a large building, originally four stories high, but the Gnat floor of which had been taken out, to make the room on the ground thaw sufficiently lofty for a smithy ; so that. at the time of the accident, the building had only three floors; the ground fl our, used Om we have stated) for a smithy, and two others used as mechanics' werkshops. The building was fort . two feet hog inside, occupying the whine length on one side of t he plot of viand on which the premises stood. One end of the remainder was covered by a slight building, six yards wide, with a salt-pie roof; one part of which was was used as the engine -house, and the other as an iron-foundery. The rest of the ground formed a yard, uhich was enclosed from blajor-street by a wall. The boiler which caused the accidet was placed in the engine. house, alongside the wall of the principal building, front which it was distant about thrtc feet. it was made of east iron, of a eylin. driestl form, about .14 %arils long, anal live feet in diameter, rub • fire-place and line in die bride. The engine which it worked was a high pressure engine, on Trevethick's principle, working ageing the atmosphere, and was, we believe, the only one in use in this town. . . About half-past four o'clock in the eveninr. Mr. John Windsor, one of the partners in the Erin, before going linnie to tea, examined the boiler, when he found that it ecmtained a sufficient quantity of water, and all appeared to be right. About ten minute. before live, as nearly as we can learn. the cm inter took bitten from the top of the boiler, and went with it into the smithy, to the end opposite the boiler. He hat! scarcely reached the spot when a our.: tremendous shock took place, which was immediately followed by the falling of the greater part of the building, leaving only that end standing in which he then was. As soon as the tenor and alarni which such as occurrence -ms calculated to predate had subsided, it was found that the boiler hud burst, and feecru in the lower part of the wall of the principal building for shove half its length = and the upper Part, hating nothing to roe upon, had fallen to the pound, bury ing in the ruins a number of the work-people. The other building, which, as we have already tested, comprised the engine-house and the thundery, war entirely destroyed, not one brick being lit upon another. The attention of the people who had been assembled by the shock, was now directed to the situation of those persons who were 'retied In the wreck of the building, and of those, who having been in that part which had not fallen, were at first unable to make their escape, u the staircase was at the cnd next to the boiler. The latter, however, were speedily extricated ; those in the upper most Eery, by getting upon the roof of an adjoining building ; and those in the middle story, some by leaping out of the windows, and other, by letting theineelves down with a strap. Every exer tion was then matte to remove the rubbish, in order to extricate those who were involved in the fall of the building. The two first found were moulders, who, at the time of the explosion, were at work in the fewndry. Of these, one, a man named Thomas ‘Vbeeler, etas quite dead ; the other, Henry Robinson, was still allre, but was so dreadfully injured that he Bled the same night In the infirmary. The item person found was a young man, named el'lnughlan, who tended the furnace for melting the iron, and who had been employed tin the premises only about a fortnight. lie was taken to the infirmary, bite died during the night. Several persons, who were mere or lam inj ured , were then got cut in sue cession ; and on* who was quite dead. This was an 014 man, 70 years of age, named John Mize, who was employed as a striker for hie son, a smith, and worked in the smithy exactly oplswite the centre of the boiler. Ile was found in a horrible situation, with his head upon the hearth-tire, and the flesh of the face and neck nearly coneumed. lie was of course quite dead when found, and, front the other injuries he he ti recivird, there is reason to believe that he had been killed inatarteneously. Ilia son, William Blaize, was severely injured, and now lies in a doubtful state. Several of the persons who were extricated, or extricated them selves from the ruins, with little injury, had most providential escapes. Amongst these was a man named Richard Robinson, turner, who was at work in the second story, and fell with it to ;he ground. In the first instance one of the beams of the floor above tell upon himf and would speedily have crushed him to death, but, most fortunately, by the subsequent fall of the roof, the end of the beam which lay upon hint was forced about two feet upwards, leaving a vacant space beneath, through which, with some nifty, he made his way, and got out at the back of the premises, without having sustaieed any very serious injury. Another man, named James Warm. was in the uppermost story, and fell with the floor for some distance, but connived ity some means, which he an hardly describe, to mintruble up the falling floors ; he thus re. gained the uppermost story, and got out along with the others, having aunained no further injury than a slight cut on his left temple. Another man wages work in the second story, nearly op.. peens the boiler, vim*, wee alarmed by the shock of the espies aien, and, before the flair had time to fall, he ran to the other end of the room, and leaped through use of the windows. Mr. James Windsor, one of the parbera in the finn, was also on that part of the floor which gave way, but enntrived to snake his escape from it In time to avoid the danger. Two boys also fell from the upper. most story to the ground, and escaped without injury. _1 As it wu quite dark when the explosion trek plate, the extent of damage to the premises and to the attjoining property, could hardly be fully ascertained; but the next morning, a dreadful scene of was presented to view. The house on the left of the pre mises the engice-house and foundry, and belonging to a Mr. Froggatt, was aloiret shaken to piece.. and will probably have to be taken down before it can be male habitable. The same house, we believe, received considerable damage ' some time ago, by the fall of a chimney belonging lathe same works. The mnf and wall of another house, at the back of Messrs. Windsor and Co.'a premises, occupied by a Mrs. llarington, way partially beaten in with bricks ; and it might serve to give some idea of the force of the explosion, whco we state, that both the walls of Messrs. Wind sor's and Co.'s large Wading intervened between that house anti the holier. A large rece demi iron, a fragment of the boiler, weigh ing about 8111ba. was projected with such force in another direction, that it passed over a house, which hound,ti the yard on the right of the preceding olio (and which, to the summit of the chimneys, over which the piece of iron must have pasted, was at least five and forty feet htgla) ant broke in the gable end of another house lower down in llsoralrwet, about GO yards from the spot where the boiler stood. Another piece of iron, apparently about the same s i re , , eru carried nearly in the sane direction, about six yards further, and broke through the roof of a sadler's shop in Ilall's buildings. 4 hie of the weights used for loading the moottle valve, weighing about three woods, was thrown over the buildings on the left or the plan. and raised with considerable force throcgh the window of a garret on the opposite side of 31inshull-street, in which a carver and gilder was at work, and narrowly missed his head. A large quantity of bliek.s and fragmewts of iron were driven with great force in every direction, and broke a vast number of windows, and did other trilling damage, on all aides of the premises ; but fortunately no person, so far as we have heard, received any injury from them. _ . _ . AVith regard to the immediate cause of this fatal and destructive accident, we do not know that any thing satisfactory can be ad. vaneed. It will be QM below, that the engineer, in his evidence nn the inquest,swore positively that no ad•litional weight 11211 been placed upon the safety-valve ; and ihe weight with which it wall usually loaded, &Übe. to the inch, is by no means great for such engines. It is probable that the safety valve had by SOMemearts got entangled and Mr. ii'indsor unfortunately did nut try it when he examined the engine. bofore he went to tea). But whatever might be the proximate cause of the accident, there can be no doubt on the mind et' any rational man. that engines of this description are exceedingly unsafe. About two years anti a half ago, we had to announce the bursting of a boiler at Ardwick. We believe the engine to which that boiler belonged, and the one now In question, were the only Trevethiek engines in Manchester; and the boilers belonging to them are the only ones which have burst in the town since the commencement of our editorial labours. We trust that no person after this time, and with these examples before his eyes, will have s° livie regard for the lives of his fellow.creaturo., a. to eeect another of tivwe dangerous engines ; and if titer:: should be in existerkeAn this neighbourhood, it is to be hoped that the owner will forthwith pull it down. The following it a list of the pi.vsuus who have suffered from this dreatlfel accident : John Maize., smith, killed; Thomas Vriteeler, forenum of the moulders, killed ; Henry Robinson, moulder. since dead • Henry Al•laughlan. lilast.tender, since dead; William Indium, moulder, since dead ; Thomas lVinstanit y, tiler, now in the Mariners,. with fracture and severe contusions; Jonathan Taylor, smith. also in the Intinuary, severely bruised and isrersted ; IVilliam Blaize, smith, merely hurt; John Hughes liter, ditto; John Graham, turner, ditto ; Richard Robinson. turner, slightly ; James Rich. ardson, turner, slightly ; James WIATC, filer. A etwnner's Inquest RAI held at etc Town 11211 Tavern, is T. lane. at six o'clock on 'Wednesday evening. Several witnesses were examined, but they could not account for the accident. The Jun• returned a vertlict—" That the deemed were acei. dentally killed by the bursting of a steam-boiler." On Monday evening !ast, Mr. Tiliford, the landlord of the Roebuck public-house, in Campfield, lost his life in a manner almost too horrible fer description. It appears that he had gone into the yard with a candle during the night (but at what hour is not exactly known) and by sonic Meal:3 set tire to his clothes, which were gradually consumed, without his having the power either to extin guish the tire, or to call for assistance. llow long he re mained in this situation is not known ; but his groans were heard between two and three o'clock by the watchman, who, however, was unable to discover from whence they proceeded. About three o'clock the unfortmee man con trived to reach the house, and to divest himself of the re mains of his clothes. lie then made his way hp stairs, and alarmed his atm, to whom he communicated his dread ful situation. Surgical assistance was immediately pro cured ; but after lingering a fcw hours, he expired.-. A tpaciester "Ralf LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE. Al ILITA RY PROMOTIONS. Wor-Olire, Deem?". 17, 1824.
