craft who said. " aye, and I found fault with your taking on you too much authority. for you com plained about my management of the horses in the field." This was the way in which the Prisoners rehearsed the sootier over among themselves , . Mr. Perry, who drew the map of the late Mr. Chennell's premises, proved the correctness of the drawing and the distances as there laid down. Swish Hurst said, she lived in Godohning, and knew both of the Prisoners; she saw Chalcraft at live o'clock to the evening of the Moodily; he asked her. whether she would be about town that night? she slid she could not tell; and ask ed the reason he put such a question, adding, that if he wanted her. she would go out. He would not tell. She saw him again at a quarter past nine o'clock. a few door* below Mr. Cheisisell'a; he was alone, and she asked him what he waisted of her; he replied, " I want you to watch outside Mr. Chentiell's door." He then went into Mr. Chennell's house, and she walked in front of the door-way. backwards and forwards. for some time. George Chesinell went into the passage with Chalcraft; she heard • screech out from within, just as Clialcrisft came and peeped out from the door. She asked him what they had been do ing ? he said, " We have done fur them both." She saw some blood on Chtilcraft's round frock sleeve when he came out of the house ; she distin guished it by the light from the candles in the op posite baker's shop-window. When she asked Chalcraft what blood was that ? he said, " From them two." Chennell then came out and asked, who she was? Chalcraft said, " Its Hurst." Two - or three persons passed oust the opposite side of the street while they were talking. Christie!l then went up town, snd Chalcraft went the other wuy home. The latter then offered her 41. to keep it a secret, but she refused the money, saying she did not aunt it. Tois was at the Angel public-hou•e, and the last thinit she said to him there was, " Hold your tongue. you fool-1 don't want to hear any more of it." She met him on the Wednesday coining in custody from Mr. Wood's, the Attor ney's house. She asked him. " How does it go with you ?" He replied, in a low tone of voice, " All's well yet, Sarah." Cross-examined by the COMSION SERJEA NT. She heard that her hushaad was in liuildfurtl, but she hail not seen him since April; she was in custody ever since. She and her husband were living together at Godidening when the murders took place. She never made appointments with other men, except this once, and she was very sorry f.r it. She had done a great deal of harm by going to Cheonell's door oil that occasion. She went front home at nine o'clock, to the front of Chenitell's house. Iler husband !sad au appointment with Chalcraft o'clock in the evenitsg, rod left her shoat that hoar. He was about as tall a into as Here, after some conversation among Counsel, it was admitted by Mr. GURNZY :hat this 'sinless was not the legal wife of Thomas Hurst, as he had been in the present Assists convicted of bigamy, for having mairied this woman while his former wi le was . . . The witaess sots then apprized that she was no banger to comider herself as the wde of Thomas Hurt. The JUDOR hoped thst there was no connection between the prosecution for bigamy and the present IsroSeelltiOts. His Lordship was informed they were totally dis tinct ; but that the discovery of the second marriage had arisen during the present investigation. The c•oss-ezaminatioa of Sarah Hurst, was re sinned—Siie said that she left the Richmond AIMS at ',Lout 7 o'clock—she did not tell Thomas Hurst thit he had !made any appointment with miother liiklll. tier hsi•bantl (as she called him) wrot to bed at iiine o'clock, and she staid up to mend some at i l t thi ng s. She then went out to meet Chulcraft, and are what lie wanted—she never did such a thing 11414 re—when she met Clialcratt. he said he waisted her to winch :»e fore part of the horse at Chennell's; she asked him the realms of his request ; he said he would not tell her till they came out; alt he said was that they were going to do something in the house ; she did not know what to think, but she waited till hr came out again. Chalcretft came out first, and she did not hear the scream till Cheimell came out. She knew nothing before bond of the shocking business that was going on in the house ; had she known this she would not have gone, but on the contrary, g►ven an alarm to prevent it. The mo ment they told her what was done she ran home iii great trouble ; but never said a word about it, or gave the smallest alarm until the month of March following. These were the only two concerned in the murder, but she charged others with the crime, for which she was very sorry, and begged a thousand pa►don.. She could not recollect the name of the first person she innocently charged, she sever named the Iverson when examined before Lord Middleton, but when she made tins declina tion she alluded to herself, as she thought she had gone too far in the business. She then odnetted that she had charged lwr supposed husband. Thos. Hurst, with being guilty of the crime. She had said, that he went down to Chrunell's house. This charge was quite false, and made against the man she then thought to be her husband. Re-exoNiimed.—She imputed the crime to Hurst in • conversation at Mr. Wood's, the Attorney's. She named nobody but Chennell and Chalcraft at Loyd Middleton 's, before whom she was examined once. She was to custody ever since la►t March; she was apiweliended in consequence of a cooression she voluntarily made. Slat also charged a person named like Coolley. who had once worked at Chen nett's, with being concerned in the murder, but this accusation was false. It occurred iii • con versation with Mr. Sivallpiece, the Under-She tiff, at the last Kingston Assizes. She could not tell what induced her to utter such false hoods, nobody whatever suggested to her such untruths, ur recommended her to name other.. She knew there was such • person as Coolley, though she never spoke to him in her life, or saw bon snore than three times. She 'wand inertly that be usually worked at ClientieWs. Nobody ever mentioned Coolley's name to her. She could as sign no reason, motive, or object. that dictated the mention ..f this name to tier. The Learned Judge put several questions its this witness, with a view to elicit some explain& of the unitive that induced her false accusation of this man, but without being able to get any other ea steer, th. that she could not account for it or gire,sey reason for it ; she begged a thousand par dons for it. Mr. Sinallpiece was examined as to the state of mind of the witness when she made this declara tion. lie described her as bring at the time site made this communication in a very perturbed state of mind. He went to her in consequence of being told by the gaoler that she wished to see somebody from Godalming. He heard she had had repeated convulsive fits which weakened her mind ; she up peered so uncollected and wild that he thought her at the time entitled to very little attention, from the perturbed and wild state of her mind. Joseph Walter, the keeper of the [louse of Cor rection at Kingston, had Sarah Hurst in his cus tody. She was at times troubled with fits, which lasted nine hours together, and caused her to ram ble. Mr. Woods, the Attorney, went to see Sarah Hurst in the House of Correction at Kingston lost April, when she informed hits that her husband was concerned in the murder, and had watched at the door. She made this cominunicatiota with great coolness, and iii a circumstantial ; she by no means at the time appeared in a pertum bed state of mind. The evidence for the prosecution was here closed. The Prisoners were now severally called upon for their defence. Cherwell said, that on the morning of the 10th of last November, he had been up at his father's house, amid assisted in getting omit two fat hogs that were there soaking in the pan. He left his father's about eleven o'clock, and went to liascomb, which was four miles from Crodaluting. Mod returned from thence ut half-past seven o'clock in the evening, when he again appeared at his father's, and *rust for a certain !impose into the stable. After that he went to Mr. Tirley's public-house, where he met Fisher ; lie staid there mild after nine o'clock, when he got up and came away, saying, he was going out to look for a girl ; on going out, however, lie rm collected that perhaps Mrs. Clam k had gone to bed, and that there was no use iu going at that hour ; he then changed his mind, and instantly returned to 'll'idey's public house ; lie could not have been gone f it more tha n fi ve mi th imi m e ., for no los return he took up the pipe he had left, and which was still lighted, and ked it sc am, hot the landlord Caine ims and made him take another, as there were plenty of better and newer ones on time table; he re mained at Thley's drinking brandy and water sod porter until past twelve o'clock on the Monday night, and he then paid It's reckoning and went home to his lodgings to fwd. The next morning James Cove Caine and called him up, and told him of the murders; he said, " Oh dear ! are they both dead ?" Cove alid they were, and lie immediately view up to his father's house to inquire 11,10'11e en cumnstatice. He declared his solemn innocence of any krowledge of, or participation in, the commis sion of this foul deed. The Prisoner, Chalcraft, addressed the Jury with all air of much apparent simplicity, but yet with great it, : tetiulty. He •attl that he had tucg worked with the late Mr. Chentall as a c 'etre, and always found him the best of starters. Alotiday, the 10th of November, lie had gone out of town to col lect dung for his twister; he ha,l Irmo out all day, and dirt not return home with the horses until past six o'clock in the ...vetting. He then took his supper with his wife awl six chil dren, elistiged his jacket, awl mewled one of his ahoes. Tiiis might take up until between seven and eight o'clock on the Monday evening, lie then went 11:1 to his master, Cliesinelre, and r-cked up the horses. After he had done this, lie rat in the house with Ins master and his housekeeper. Mosier offered him bread and cheese, :toil ordered him beer, albeit he took. Master sat on the left side of the tire, and Elizabeth Wilson on the ri g ht ; they were talking about bacterial, or common matters. Master then said he'd go to bed, but Elizabeth said olte would wait up a little longer, lest George Chenuell should ci,me iii for his supper. The Prisoner then stated, that he went home when his master had gone to bed, unsought he shortly after nine o'clock, lie never went out after until the morning, when he went to his master's. After being there some time, and tilighrig nobody get up, he went awl called his iwotee, hut could get no answer. When lie called up to awake 111r.Chentiell, he solemnly declared that he never saw the body of the housekeeper lying inside the door. He then begged leave, by pert:n*6i )))) of the Court, to ask II question or two of Sarah Hurst. This war granted ; and, in answer to his questions, she expres.ly adhered to her former declaration of the guilt of both Prison. rs. The following witnesses were called fur the de fence : Mr. Thomas Chennell resides at Guildford. and was brother to the deceased Mr. Chennell. Iu November last he received a letter from his sister. Mrs. Gill, which he gave to his son to deliver to the deceased at Gods'lming. lie received no rues sage from the deceased; but whatever answer he gave his son could say. John Muller was a carter to Mr. Holland last November. He remembered meeting the prisoner Chennell at half-past seven o'clock in the evening of the murder, near the ‘Vliiie Hart in God.l • g. He did not see him upon' in the course of the night. James Coles remembered the night of the mur der, and I:ved in the service of the deceased. The prisoner Chennell was in the shop of his father on that night for a short time. but he vim') went away. He called on him the next morning to inform hint of the murder. " Lord have merry !" said the Pri soner, "is my father quite dead ?" I saw I put on the same clothes, or sosmilling like them, tie next morning; they had nu appearance of blood. George Pinking said, helmet the craft) clothes examined, and observed isuthing whatever upon them but some tobacco spittle. Ti e frock was given back to she Prisoner, who put it un. itiehaid Elliott corroborated the last wstness's etatement. The Learned Judge rose at a quarter past Pia o'clock in the evening to cline the Jury. He con jured them to dismiss from ineir mode, as for as it were possible, all that they had previously and mitt vonohly heard rep tire to the taste which they were now in the act of trying, and to decide upon it solcly lot-cording to the ernience they Inid this day head. If wily safe /claim( e could lie bad upon the evidence of Sarah Hutt, then all consideration was obviated, fur the inevitable conclusion, if her story were true, must Le, that the Prisoners were both guilty. But he apprehended that if their imputed guilt alone depended fur satisfactory proof upon this female accomplice, the Jury would weigh with caution every circumstance of the case, and carefully separate front it every part of the evi dence of the accomplice, which stood uncorro borated by other and hotter testimony. They most reconcile, as had been well said by the Learned Counsel who opened the case, the imm. !Koerner of the Prisouers with the facts alleged against them in evidence, before they could t tune to a vertiict of mcquitiul—or they must take those facts, and compare them with the time, the conduct, the behavioor, moil the declarations of the Prisoners, and see how fir this combined view of the whole led to a conclusion ns to their guilt. In viewing the nit. ked fact of the declaration of the Prisoner Cheintell, respecting his evil a 'sties towards his father, bad us, under any circuanstancts, it was, it was yet almost inconsistent with commis,' eense to suppose that parties, seriously intending to perpetrate a foul murder, should for a long time previously have promulgated their foul intention, mid thereby led to their own detection, and the frustration of their project. But if, on the other hand, the Jury should be satisfied, from u review and comps rivon of the evidence before them. that the ease was brought in such a niatiner home to the Pri soners as to leave no rational doubt of their guilt, then the decimations made by the Prisoners, Cbruurll in particular, moist have their weight, as sheaiug the quo unisno, and premeditated spirit with %hick the clime was concocted and perpetra ted. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the whole of the evidence to the Jugs. fle pointed out the guilt of Sarah floral, sod tine little reliance to which she was rutttletl ; but lie foocibly adverted to the number of unimpeached wituetsses v. ho clearly disproved the statement made by the Priviontrs, that they had not seen each other since the Friday or Saturday before the murder, and clearly evtahlovh ed they Mad been together on that very iiielot• lie Elio alluded to the flat euntradauumi given to that statement of Cheiniell, that hr had net been assent more than shout four or fire minutes after tiiiie o'clock no the Alooday night, %heti he . quilted the Richmond Arms, a;1.11 the inten tions of going after some woman, but afterwards changed his shod, and speedily returned and re iived the pipe which he raid he hail pry :piously smok ed ; whereas the whole chaio of evides,ce us this par ticular went to show, tlist he had bet-u absent fully three trimmers of an hour, mod exactly at that 'sy nod of time when he was called upon to account fur himself, and ali cam, according to all rational coo joirt me, covertt the deed that hod beet' perpetrated. If they could extroct from this In is. od . evillene-, any thing, that gave them a rational doalot guilt of the I',l-ou.trs, or either of than (for they were honed not to confound the eases), then they should give them, or either of them, the benefit ef this doubt ; hut if, on the contrary, their view of the facts disclosed in the prosecution, and their ap plication of the defence of the Prisoner* to these facts were itreconci)eable, then, however painful their duty mid dreadful coosarresorea to the Pri soners, they were bound to room' that verdict which public justice demanded for such n crime as that charged upon the Poisoners at the bar. The Learned Judge was snore th.on two hours and a half ono 00000 ing tip the evidence. The Jury consulted for about two minutes, and then returned a verdict of Cuitty against both 11 ) 11.011r18. Mr. KNAPP then, in the usual farm. i.ted the Priauttera what they had to ,ody why sentence of death should nut he pd.owd upon them ? Chessueli said nothinz; but Chnlcraft &claret!, in nn un der tour, that lie was as iaineccut of the crime as a child au burn. Ihith Prisoners received the awful verdict, not only calm and unmoved, 1:111 with a degree of apathy and indifference which excited the astonishment of .very person in Court who had heard the srrusig evideme of their goiht. During the greater part of the Judge's change the Priacincro sat down in the duel, and wham brought (toward and awaits put to the bar at half-past nine o'cliwk, to eerily , the awful sentence of the law, Cheunell stood op without betrayli.: the slightest symptom of perturhation—he looked the .141111 P heavy sottish fellow that Is. appiAred throughout the trial. Chas!craft, if possible, seemed alitt more ii.ditierent, and with his arms folded, and casting a fixed but unduatate l glance at the Judge, heard without apparcut ell:Whitt the dreadful aenteuce of the law. The Judge addressed the Prisoners as follows,—'• Ocrfrte Chenuell and William Chalrraft, you have been tried by at Jury who have given the utmost *tienl to your respective cosec, and *bey hive come to the ilusiun else every ra tional mind must admit, that yin' are guilty of the dreadful crime imputed to you.
