being used double, served foe a watch, or single mlOt be wan round the neck. He then said it was more fit for a lady than a gentleman, and pressed it on Mrs. IPfebert. He finally made it • present to her, and put It round her neck. A bed was then of freed to Thurtell and Hunt. It was arranged that Alin Noyes should give up her own bed, and sleep with the servant. They however rather preferred to sit up, and she was therefore allowed to retire to her own bed. Something it seemed had occasioned eter nise in the mind of Mrs. Probert indeed it was namely possible It should have been oche Twin. Seldom was crime unaccompanied with some disorder of mind or a demeanour which betrayed it.— Mrs. Probert was induced, on retiring to her bed-room, to open her window, and she saw Thurdell, Hunt, and Probert, who, as it afterwards appeared, were preparing to go down few the body. One of the horses was taken down the lane; the body was put on the hone and brought up to the garden ; it was then dragged through the garden to the pond, some stones were put into the sack, and it was thrown to. Mrs. Probes would say that she saw some. thing drawn along, and Prober minkt say what that unite thing was. Mrs. Pmbert's suspicion and fears being thus excited, she came down stain secretly and listened to the con versation. They proceeded to divide the booty. Thurtell allotted to each his share, which was M. Ina., being the total sum in the promenion of Wane at the period of his death. Thurtell and llunt remained in the 'parlour. Probert went to bed with his wife. As early as Silt in the morning., Thurtell and Hunt wire out in the lane. SOWS Men ',nerved them dragging in the bodge*. When the men approached them, Thurtell said— • I was nearly capsized here last night." The man rep lied—" I hope you was not hurt, Sir." -• No;" said 'Martell, ` I was not.' fhis was said merely to amuse the DWI, as some excuse was necessary, but it did n,,t succeed ; for, as soon as Thunell and Hunt went away, the men concluded they had not been searching for nothing, and they began to search themselves'. They first found a mass of congealed blood, nearly a quart, then a bloody knife, and after- Warn a pocket-pistol, which would be proved to be one of those purchased for the purpose. The pistol had marks of blood upon tr, ar.d human brains. as if it had turn used to strike nine one vie. lenity. There could be no doubt that that was the spot where the carder had been committed. The double.larrelled gun, back. gammon-band, and carpet-bag wen taken to the lodging,' of hunt, where they were afterwards found. Thurtell and llunt were en. gaged to spend the following sunday. They went to town on Sa turdny. When they got to the Coach and Herne, it would appear that Hunt boasted of his cash, and said, `` We are the lads that knot bow to do the trick ;" and lie seemeel Hush of money. Thur. telre bands were much 'scratched. On the Sunday they spent the May at Probert's. Probert that day brought down) a new spade with him, and be told his wife that he had brought it to dig a hole tat bury the hotly. Ile paid a visit, in she course a the morning, to Mr. Nicholls, his neighbour. who mention. dthat the report of a gun or pistol was heard on Fri dley night ; and this conversation induced Probert, oo his return to the cottage, to mention the report to Therrien and Hunt. It etched the alarm of Thunell, who expressed his fear that lie remuld be hanged, and naturally inspired him with an anxiety to rentove the evidence of his guilt. Prober' was also anxious to have the body taken out of his pond ; he said he would not suffer a: to remain there. Thunell and Ilunt proposed to come down 00 Monday night, to carry away the body. They all proceeded to town in two gigs; and, fin the purpose of greater security, the ser vant boy was sent up to town in (woe of the gigs. Ile was lino taken to a house in the Strand, and finally left at the Coach and Horan. The same Monday. i.s the evening, Thurtell and Probert came down again together in a gig ; hunt was with them, and it was tiZethat he should keep firs. Probert in conversation, while r d tell and Probert dragged out the budy. It was then put into 'fhentell's gig, and Nelsen told Hunt it was ready. Thurtell and Hunt went away with it at ten at night ; whither they had carried it Peahen did not knew. It appeared they deposited it in a pond, a considerable distance from hat cottage. It was thrown in in the same manner as when it lay in the pond in Proheres garden ; it was still covered with the sack anti weights! clown with a nuniber of stones. They returned in the middle of the night. The next morning the gig told the story of its employment. In the bottom was a quantity of blood : and this circumstance, together with the subsequent finding of the pistol, knife, and blood, led to empty; which ultimately reached the ears of the magistrates, trho had Thurtell. Hunt, and Prober' apprehended. It was then found that Hunt bad resorted to other means of evading the evidence of his identity. On the Friday, Saturday, Sun day and Monday morning, be wore very large whiskers ; Monday night he shaved them off ; and teeing seen without them, pro duced, as the Jury must be aware, a very great change in his appearance. On the inquiry before the magistrate!, it was not as certained certainly who was the person murdered. The body was not discovered till the Thursday morning following, in a pond near. They were directed to the spot by Hunt. It was not the intention of the Conned fur the pmeeention to make use of any thing that had proceeded out of Hunt's 11111 l ith ; but the fact he had fur nished them with they were enwled to. If stolen goods rose pointed out by a thief, the prosecutes ass entitled to the fact against the prisoner; but what lie said manna himself was not fairly matter tel be urged to his prejudice. The conversations with ac complices were of a different naturo and he (.Ir. 4,.) should freely avail himself of theta. Some of diem could thpend on the eve tinier of an accomplice. at least one who was undoubtedly an ac complice in concealing the body. He limit be presented before the Jury ass had man; what good one would he concerned in such a transaction ? The Jury would du well to receive his evidence with jealousy end watchfulness; but it would be surrounded with such confirmations as would build it up, and render it pigged__ credible. Un some marts of the case there nub( be no doubt. There could be no doubt that Thurtell Mt out lent London with Wean, and that before he sensed at the cottage a shot was find an the road; that he was In such a bloody state when he arrived; and that on the Iredneselay after he war not able to efface all the marks of blood upon I ;or that be his locket a penknife of Weare's was found on hSje apprehension, and also the other of that pair of pistols rnich wax purchned at liary-la bonne. Therefore, as far as respected Thurtell, there could be no doubt whatever of his guilt. As to llunt, the question would naturally arise, what could he do at the cottage, where there was no accommodation for him ? There was the property of IVeare found at his lodgings • and round the neck of the corpse, when it was raised f rom the pawl was found wrapped a fed shawl, the property of Mrs. Probert. That shawl had been in the hands of Hunt, on the evening of the murder. There was also the gold watch-chain traced to the posses. stun of Thunell. As to the wan+, Thurtell, after he was appre hended and hunt had said banacthing by which he connived his safety was compromised, had admitted to one of the officers, who Inked hint what he had done with the watch, that while in their melody he had put his bands behind hint, and thrown it oven the hedge. Therefore, that Thurtell was the principal in the murder, and that Hunt was an acennary before the fact, no reasonahle man could doubt : but if, indeed, an doubt could arise, it was the duty of the Jury to give the bene fi t of that doubt to the prisoners. The case In his (Mr. Gurney's) opinion, was clearly and satisfactorily proved. The Learned Counsel closest ati adelnrcs of an hour and a half, with an othortation tn the Jury, which, from the noise in Court, we could not hear. _ _ During the speech of Mr. Iluniey, Thorn-II and hunt listened very attentively, but wholly unmoved by any apparent sensation of , rear or re rut ; though at some periods there grass general feel tNr of horror throughout the vast crowd by which the Court was Ued. EVIDENCE pOItTHE PROSECUTION. John Person, examined by 11r. 801. L A mn—Ou thc 30th of Oe. sober I went with Upson, Ituthren„ and Ilunt, in search of the bony of the deceased. It was found in a pond, in the neighbour hood cif Metres. The spot was pointed mit by Hunt. The body was concealed in a sack. The head was covered, and the body, down to the knees. A rope was coiled round it ; the rope was two or three yards long ; a 1140+1e wits tied to the end of it. I was not praetor when the body was examined. It was conveyed to the Ar tichoke, at Mince. Crowe-examined by Mr. Annnews—The pond is on the right. hand side of the road towards Elstree. lan acquainted with the neighbouring country, and I believe a stranger might easily lose his way among the roods. There are several leading to the saute spot, by routes more or less circuitous. A person ignorant of the country tuight easily mistake his way in that twighbourhood. The roads are very bad and narrow, SO that it is impossible, in some places, for anything to pass. The roads are hilly as well as oar. row ; and even by day-light a person who knows them ought to tra %id slowly. By . Mr. Tub:Newt 111—( ht the day of the search there were four ua in enntosit besides the coactinum. The distance of the pond how Oil!' is about two aglow We all searched in a body. We were not above two minutes finding the body, after the . spot was poirtnl out. By Mr. A E W S.—The be y rm! has a considerable part along side the mad shallow. The was bump in the deepest part. Could anybody base placed it there without wading through the pod, (PICT his boats in water ? No. On the quesion hying repeated in nearly the same terms, the witness said, " I think it might done." By the Jr Nin.—le it possible to deposit the body in the pond, without watliegtbeough the pond ?-- V .1 , , my hoot. How; by what means ?—lf two own laid hold of the rope they might have swung it into that penieutir place. By Mr. Ait nacws.—But it was nut possible for one man to have done it?—No. Was the pond very full ?--Ves. How mw h does it measure aerues ?—A boot as far as from you to me tabout four or live ystils). Were any of you obliged to get into the water ?—None of ua were obliged to do so, because we had a holder. Re-examined—How CAM! von to search that pond in particu lar ?---W e understood it contained the body. Did anybody direst you to it I.—Ves, Sir, Mr. Hum did. Was it a long rope that was coiled round the body T-1t was wound round two or three times. The body might have been thrown in and dragged to the tide by the rope. The pond is rather longer than this Collo, but not much more. The body was out drawn out or the reek in ray presence. By the Jr to:E.— There WAS* large handkerchief full of stones tied to the eml of the rope. Role.rt Vield, examined by Mr. Bit 11 r. e keep the Arti choke a: F:lstree.

I paw It drawn out of the pond ; I came up just at the time% I did not assist in drawing it out. It was in a sack, I.eneneti by a cord. Thu: turd was fastened round th e neck, the middle, and the feet; and attached to it wa, a large handkerchief full of stories. There were about tire or three yards haste, I sup peas noultred so by drawing , hc body out. That 110.1 y was after wards identified by William Itexworthy and Richard IV rare. John Elmo. examined by Mr. lit3l.l.att D.—l am an officer of Bow-street. I was at Watl.wd during the examination of the pri soners I was there several days. tln the Thursday after the body was found, I had • converemion with Thurtell. I ass one of the party who .earched for the body. N'e had a rake, a pile, and a pitchtOrk ; we mandied tur some time without any .arcesa. A man came by with a ladder. Ilecson was at work in the middle of the pond. Hunt and I stood nearest to the Artichoke. fiance pointed out that the spot was nearer the hedge. The body was' found there. It was put on the ladder and conveyed to the AIM.' choke. I was not present when the sack was tepeaM. William Re:worthy examined by Mr. BIRODSSICK.—I Mop • billiard-table at Spring-gardens ; I was indmando acquainted with the deceased, ;William Weave.l saw his body lying dead at the Artichoke the day of the inquest ; I am quits positive as to its identity. Crom-eramined by Mr. Awonows--There was a mark of a pistol on the. left side of the head. I knew hiss sa perfectly as if he had been living. I had known him for sixteen years. 1 bad not the least doubt. I spoke then as certainly as Ido now. Richard Wearc examined by Mr. Rohhartn.-1 had a brother named 'William. I saw a body at the Artichoke, at Mater,, in company with Mr. Re:worthy. knew it to be tat of my bro ther. (This witness appeared much affected in giving his c.d. dence.) Thomas Abel Ward examined by Mr. liantamea.-1 am • moron at Watford. On the dsy a the inquest I examined • body at Elstree. There were several marks of widener about the kitl temple, apparently occasioned by some round blunt instrument. The marks corresponded with the muzzle of a pistol then shown to me. It appeared to have penetrated the skull. Near this wound there was • fracture of the skull. Several portions of the hone were broken off and driven into the substance of tic brain. The pistol would have produced those effects, by being forced into the Mad without being fired. The wound was sufficient to have produced death very quickly. on the right cheek there was the appearance of a gun or pistol shot wound. I could not trace the wound below the integuments. That wound could not have been the cause of death. OOn each side of the neck there were incised wounds. one on the right and two on the left. A knife would have inflicted them. The jugular vein was divided on the left side. Caro-examined by Mr. PL A TT.--a!ertainly the instrument plum have penetrated the had. Mote than one bone of the skull was , broken, and the injured space was larger than the muzzle of • pis tol. A larger instrument than • pistol might have been introduord into the wound. It might hare been produced by • larger instru meat. The orifice was about an inch°, an inch and a quarter long, and 7.fiths of an inch wide..-1 By the desire of Mr. Justice Park, the witness drew a representation of the wound, which was handed to the Jury, with the pieces of bone extracted from the skull of the deceased.) —The fleshy orifice did not correspond with the Ira ore . of the skull. The integuments might have been drawn together ; after the bones were extracted. The size of the orifice in the inte guments was large enough to admit my two fingers. The diriffipg of the jugular vein would hare been sufficient to have produded I death. Neither of the arteries were divided. A great hemorrhage must have taken place. There was nothing to show that it had been Indicted on a living person. It is impossible for me to my whether that injury was inflicted after death. After a bodrbas been lying in the water three or four das I cannot trust to th e external indieitr. The body was quite fr e sh. The henlorr from the jugular vein is very uncertain. It was not quite It might In maay instances be difficult to identify • body tat has lain in the wall/ several days; hut in this case, if I had known the deceased, I think I should have known him again. He-erainineil.--1 have no doubt that the wound in the head was the cause of the death of the deceased. tisirge ltuthven was then called, and directed to bring with him the things found in the possession of Hunt. George Itudiven examined by Mr. llohLann— lie is an officer of lkr-street ; hr apprehended the prisoner Thurtell; he found s knife, and pocket pistol not loaded, in the coat pocket of Thurtell ; in his waistcoat pocket there was the key of an air-gun ; there was also • muslin handkerchief in the &aw e,' ; they were marked with blood; they appeared as at pre. sent.

To • question from the Count . —lle found these on the beck of the prisoner. The black coat was stained with blood about the cuffs, and particularly on the right arm. There was also a hat on Thurtell's head which was maked with blood. Ile apprehended Hunt on the 19th of November, at his lodging at 19, King-street, (initial-square. Ile arrested him at Wednesday; he searched his residence on the day after, and found there • double-barrel gun in a case, with the name of Manton on it. Under the table there was a hag, and a bundle which sou wet; there WAS also a carpet bag, which was empty.—l Here these articles were produced, and Wm tified by the witness.)—There were breeches, gaiters, one pair of half boots, another of Hessians, two waistcoats, two coloured hand. kerchiefs, three shirts, two of them marked W.

No. 1, one neckcloth, four pair of socks, one night-cap, •shot pouch, a clothes brush, powder fink, tannic-rev, bullet-mould, comb, gun-rod, all of which had been in witness's possession since he haa taken them. Cross-examined by Mr. Calve Y.—The door of Thurtell's room when witness arrested him was open and unlocked.; any person might have access to it. Admitted that the blood found on the clothes might be caused by • person cutting himself when sharing. The drawers were also unlocked ; the mad-servants of the house might see every thing that was there. The articles were tied up; the house was • public one. lie was not aware that there were many inmates. He arrested Thurtell at about half-past seven ;be was in bed when he took him into custody. There was another man sleeping in the mom, not in the same bed with prisoner. l'ross-examined on the part of Hunt, by :1h 'bit eallioES.-- Hid not search Hunt's dwelling.houae till the 29th; his wife was not at beam. Henry Simmons., amotable of Wattbni, examined by Mr. Bao., Drama—Wiwi= received • pocket-pistol from Mr. Nicholls, stained at the time with blond. The pan was doers • there was, besides the blood, human hair attached to It.—Her e the weapon was handed to the Jury, and examined by thiltn.l—There was taw in the muzzle as at present ; he also received &small knife from Mr. Nicholls ; a red shawl and handkerchief were given him by Dotter Pidcock, jun. on the 31st October. He had also gotten a ' gold curb watehmhain, sealed up in a box. This he reeelved from Mrs. Probert on the evening of the lath November.-111ess the box was opened.)—He left the chain in the paper as he found it. Ile had alp gotten • sack with some things in It from Robert Field, the landlord of the Artichoke. He had received another sack from W. Bulmer. One was given to him on the flth, the other on the 27th of November. Ile received a part of a shirt on the 31st of October from Thomas Bates. All these articles were given him in p .rmaice of the Magistrates. A spade was given him on the 11th November, he did not know by whom ; he got part of a coat front Rohner on the 3Oth November, and a handkerchief on the same day from li nage Jones. 'fins witness was not aoss-examined. _ . I%9lham Probert wan next called. Ile was brought from the dock ; his appearance on the table excited the most intense atten tion. Ile was examined by 111 r. lin ft r.—l occupied the cottage at Gill's llill.lane , about the latter end of October. 1 inhabited it about six months before that period ; my family consisted of Mrs. Probert, her two sisters, myself, maidservant, and boy ; one only of my wife'. sisters, Miss Noyes, was in the house at the latter end of last October. 1 had also the children of Thomas Thurtell ; none of my own were with me at the time. Thomas Thurtell is brother of the pri soner. I have had a long acquaintance with John Thuncll, the prisoner ; he was repeatedly with me at the cottage. He had often been spurting with witness in that neighbourhood. Prisoner must have been well acquainted with the Mall to the cottage, and with all the roads in that part of the country. If is about a mile and a quarter front the high road to at. Alban's, it would be the regular reed to Radlett ; it would be the nearer way. The cottage is distant from yburn-turnpike fourteen miles and a quarter. At the latter end of October prisoner lodged at Mr. Tetsall's, at the Coach and Hones, Conduit. stmt; his brother also lodged with him at the same house. I did not procure these lodgings fos them ; I never spoke to Mr. Tetsall on the subject; I met them repeatedly at that house ; I dined with them on the 24th of October at Tenall's ; Hunt was also present ; Noyes was also there ; after dinner Thurtell, the prisoner, spoke about money ; about three or four days before the 24th, I had borrowed ten pounds from hint ; he said you must let me have it back by Thursday or Friday ; I answered that I had nut collected any money as yet ; ho said," 1 shall want it ssalay or to.momiw, if I (10 not get it it will be 900 E out of toy pocket ; let me therefore have it toanorrow ;" on Friday I borrowed 101. from Mr. 'Penal, and paid Thurtell five of it after dinner ; he spoke to me about toy cottage, and asked if I would go down on that night, if I did Hunt should drive me down, I said that I would tub down ; be said he would go in company, that he had a friend to meet after 6 o'clock, and he would also take hint down, adding these words If I have the opportunity I mean to do him, as be bas robbed one of several hundreds of pounds." lie also told me that if I took up Hunt, I should leave him about a mile and a half blogoite Mitres, as he should want bins there 4 be said If 1 was fearful of not goluktlown, I should give Hunt one pound. Ity the Coe err — Was Huck present at this convenuorion ? Witness—M Lord , he had Just SCOW into the moat, and 'Thurtellssa d, " Joe, this is for you, to hire a horse If Pro beet dues not go down, and you know where to stop . fur me." To this I did not bear Hunt make any answer. I gavehim twenty shillings in silver; Thurtell left the Coach and Horses immediately after, in a chabe-gig, drawn by a gray horse with a whitish face. I believe it was Hunt brought the gig; 1 did not see Inns. I left the house at a little after five o'clock, tor the vantage, In my own gig, taking Hunt with Wel at the top of Ox ford-street Hunt, at my request, went into a shop and bought a loin of pofk for supper • at the end of the street he said " it is hoe Jack is to take up his friend ;" we overtook Thurtell about four miles front town; Hunt desired meta thrive forward and take co notice. I At this . period a ladywitsoteiniitted into the Dock. His Lord sloop did not appear satisfied with this proceeding, but upon the I °them informing him that it was done at the particular desire of the Sheriff, he made no comment.] The win s s continued.—There were at this time two gentlemen In the gig; we pawed by andsidel nothing. We stopped at the Bald faced dtag, about seven miles from Lon do n; we did nut stop before, it was then about • quarter to seven. I asked Hunt who the person was that was with Thurtell; be answered" you are not to know bum; you never saw him; you do not know even his name." I took spirits at the Raid-faced ; Hunt walked on; he said he conp not go in, for he had no rettlThell the hune-cloths, which he had taken from the hustler; stopped there about twenty minutes; 1 then drove on, and took up Hunt, near Ldgeware; we then implied at the Led Lion, Ldgeware, and took a glass of brandy and water ; we did not remain for more than tan 111121Utell ; a little tardier on I bought a half bushel of corn for ay horse, as 1 bad none at home, and I put it in a sack. Hunt here said, " is it not astonishing where Thurtell ran be ? he could not surely have pawed us, a. we have not been out of the road ;" we here drove to the Artichoke public-house, kept by Field, at Lbotree ; it was then shout ten minutes before eight o'clock ; neuter of us left the gig; we drank tour or live glasaes of brandy and water in the gig; we waited in the experuition of . Thunell corning tip; we thoooglot we heard the sound of a home and chaise, and we started upon that; we stopped at the Red Lion about three quarters of an lour • we then proceeded about half • tune without st o • to irbillititore Lodge; here Hunt got out of the gig, and said he would wait for Thurtell ; 1 then those 4.111 through Radiate so thees By die 4; ot; aT .—BeGierfant? Yes, my Lott When near the cottage I met Tbttrtell, on foot, about one hundred yards short of the cottage ; no person was with him. 11. said, " Hallo ! where is Hunt ?'• I answered I did not know, that I left him waiting for him near Phlllimore Lodge. Prisoner said " I do not want him now, I have done the trick without him." I ;irked him to explain him self. Ile said, " I have killed the Mend 1 brought down with me. I have put a villain oat of die world. Ile has robbed me of three or tour huudred pounds. I said, Hood Hod! I hope you have not killed the man." He said, "Itis no consequence to veer—you do not know him.—you never SSW him. do bark and seek Hunt. You know best where you left him." I then returned, and found Hunt near the place where I left him. By the Cot RT—Thurtell was not with you ?—No, my Lord ; I told Hunt that prisoner had killed his friend ;he said, 'Jr Milk God lam out of it ; lam glad he did it without me." He added, " I cannot think were the devil he passed us, as I could not see him pass any where ; I am, however, glad that I atn out of it." Am we posed on he said, " There was the place where we were to have dune it." Ile would not tell nic the name of the person ; he said, •• You do nut know him ; you shell not know his name ; be robbed Jack of several hundred pounds, and we weredetermined to have it back again." As we apprechcd the cottage we saw 'Thur tell ; we drove through the gate, and lie was a few yards inside ; Hunt said, " Thurtell, where could you bevel:rained me?" Pri. loner said, "No matter where I passed you—l have done the trick." Ile then continued. " Why the devil did you let Probert drink at his damned public-houses, when you knew what was to be done ?" Met said, •• I made sure you weft behind us, other wise I would not hevestoppeil." At this time we anived at the cot tage,and I took the loin of pork tothe cook into the kitchen toddy'. (Here the heat was so excessive, that the windows and doors were obliged to be opened. and several persons, who, in defiance of the Judge's desire, were standing up, were peremptorily ordered either to sit down or to be removed by the officers . ]--I then took Hunt Into the parlour and introduced him to Mrs. Probed ; she did not know him before. I went out of the house with Hunt ; Thurtell went either with us or followed us immediately. We all went to the stable. Thurtell said, • I'll take you to where the body lies." I then returned to the patiour, and desired that supper should not be ready till our return. I assigned as a reason to aim. Probert for our absence, that we were going to 31r. Nicholie's to ask for a day's shooting on the morrow ; 1 left them in the yard. Thurtell, betide we went, took in his gigs sack and curd ; we went down the lane; I carried a lantern ; as we went along, Thurtell said to Hunt," Why did you not conic ?" II tent answered, "We made sure that you were behind, but fer that I would befit time; we walked on." finartell said, " Probers, it is fie:Oldie/n:lnd near thesecond turning." When we came to the Owe, Thukall sald, "Still farther; look in this ace;"O we began to move the haves, and look about for &pistol and knife; neither of us could find them ; we then got over the hedge, and found the b.aly lying ; theft was a red shawl wrapped about the had.—(here a shawl was pioduced.l-1 cannot say that was the shawl it is like it ; I cannot be certain. Thurtell then searched the pockets of the deceseed ; he took out a pocket-book, containing three 61. notes, - nieinoraialunut, and sane silver. There was no watch or purse. Thurtell said he took them immediately when he killed him. They then put the hotly in the sack head foremost ; the sack reached down to the knees, and tied it with a amt.— , (Here witness identified the sack.)-1 cannot say if the cord was tied to the sack, or if they were carried separately ; they left the body in *newly-ploughed field. Thurtell then said to me, '•NV hen I first shot hint, he jumped dot of the gig, and ran like the devil, singing nut, I will return you all the money I have won if my life be spared." liy the COURT.—DO you know that Thurtell belonged at any time to the sea service ?--Witniss..._3ly Lord, I do not. Ily the COritT—The phrase "singing out" is a curious one, and may be in use amongst sailors. • The witness continued—Thurtell said he then leaped out of the gig and ran after him, overtook him, gut him under, and began to cut his jugular vein, but thought he would never stop his singing out. Ile then jammed the pistol Into his head, gave it • turn, and then knew he had done hint.—( This part of the statement seem ed to produce a deep sensation. )—'Thurtell then said to Hunt, " You ought to hate bees with me at the time, for once I thought he would have got the better of me ; and the d—.—d pistols were like squibs, they were of no use." Hunt said," I should have been with you, but I thought one of the pistols would have killed liiin at the first shot." We then returned to the cotter, and supped. In the course of the evening Thurtell produced • handsome gold watch with • new double case, the chain was of gold.-1 Hem • chain was pro. dared, which the witness identified as that attached to the wat;h.l— took off the chain, and presented it to Mrs. Proltert, say ing "It was fitter for a lad y than a gentleman." She would not accept it ; she refused fora long time ; at last she did accept it. He then put the watch and geld seal into his pocket. There was in the cottage but one spare bed, though he could not well call it a spare one, for bliss Noyes slept In it: and Mrs Pmbert asked them when they wished to go to bed, as her sister should sleep with the chil dren and they should have hoe bed. They expressed thanks. but said MtIW Woukenot inconvenient/ Miss Noyes; they worldseep on the sofa Hatt sang two or three songs during the evening. I believe him talk a profesoietned singer. The ladies went to bed at about I? o'clock.

I said that would be as bad. Thurtell then replied, 1 will bury it where neither you itur any one else can find it."

Cron-examined by Mr. THESSIGER.-1 had no conversation with Thurtell at Tetsall's about the rounder of Wean, and I knew nothing of it till the Friday. I have known Hunt about twelve months. I introduced Hunt to Thurtell six or seven months ago. I was standing at the Cock in the Haymarket, and introduced hint to them. I never invited Hunt to Gill's Hill Cottage. He never was there before the Friday. I can't tell by whose invitation he came down • but I believe by ThurtelFs. I did not say there was no spare be d when Thurtell asked nie to drive Hunt down. I ex. no surprise when Thurtell asked me to lend Hunt 20s. in caser ecl should not go down; nor at a stranger being introduced to Mrs. Probers in my absence.

I said to her, it was Janie netting brought down by John Martell which we had born dragging about. (On Probert passing the prisoners, on his way out of Court, Hunt gave him a look of ineffable contempt. Thurtell was busily engaged talking to his solicitor at the time, and appeared to take no notice of him.l His Cottons's. ordered Mr. Wilson to discharge a *own he had committed in the Henning for making a riot, but at the same time intimated his intention of strictly enforcing deoarum in Court during the remainder of the trial. Mr. Justice PARK then retired for a few minutes, previous to Mrs. Peahen being called in. When the Court resumed, Mrs Probert was sworn—As goon as she came into the witness's box, his Lordship desired her to sit down. 11r. U lAN ex then proceeded with the examination—Do you remember Friday the 24th Octohn ?—I Did you on that night hear Cie sound of gigs -passing the cot tage 2—l remember it very well ; It was about r ight o'clock; near ly an hour after there was a ring at the bell, but nu came in after the ring ; abut f halpast nine or nearly my husband acme home.

John Thurtell afterwards introduced a watch and chain. It was a gold watch with a great Mai of work in It—a chain was handed to me—ta chain was here banded to the witness who looked , at it and said') I think the chain was like this ; Thunell gave it to nie. I refused it for some time; he at last put it round my neck. i When I was examined, 1 gave up the chain to the constable in the presence of the %magistrates. John Thurtell and Hunt sat up that night. When Mira Noyes and myself went up stairs. we left llunt, and l'rubert, in the parlour. We slid not go to bed direrly. I came on the stairs and listened to what was going on. That I heard was all in a whisper. Front what I heard tint, I thought they were trying on clothes. I heard one say, " I think that will fit you very well ;" but it was all in a whisper. I heard a rustlieg none like papers on the table, and another noise like papers thrown into the tire. 1 also N something take place out of doors ; I saw two gentlemen go from the parlour to the stable; they took a light to the stable from the parlour ' and brought a horse out of the stable; I then heard something drag, apparently very heavy ; 1 think front the stable to the leaden ; I saw something in the dark walk which I had a view of; the sub. stance was in a ALA ; I heard the burning of the papers ; after the dragging the substance in the walk, they dragged the sack nearly half way up the walk ; I could see a groat way down the wall, and had a good view of the pond; when I maw die pond him 1 heard a Mae like a heap of stones tl.rown into a pit ; it WAN a hollow wound; I heard HUM first say, let us take a five gourd note each: I heard John Thurtell say, Holding shall he the next : lie did not want money, but revenge.

While thus was passing in the body ist" the Court, and parts of her evidence, when she seemed much agitated, turned several times towards Hunt, sad smiled at him i tuonidy.
