alien the crime WO perpetrated,. for the old female lieuarkeeper aas found murdered in the kitcht is, „ o f, a shit[ of the Pristine' Girton-11's in her lap, u:och slit• hail been meattlifig. It would earl, apr-ar, that the Primmer Chalerall, who had liven at li:eakfl-t with others to the kitchen on the the murder, had been sent by his f,a!-In-laliourers to till ta;, lila master; he went to the dnar of 'me of the rooms for this purpose, and rejoined his compuoioos without saying that he had Glow' veil any thing. although it would be proved 1w ni a.t, on that occasion, hive seen the dead body of the woman, which lay directly on the floor. That the molder had not be:wi committed fur the purpose of immediate robbery, was evidrot from the eircum skitter of the house not having been broken open. Bedoltst, the late Mr. Cheimell's pockets were not rifled ; seven pounds were found in them ; but the till had been rifled, anal there were marks of blood on the edge of it, and two notes, which would be proved to have been paid to the Prisoner's father recently before his death, were found uu the Pri soner, with marks of blood upon them. It would 01-o he 'hewn, that on the night in question the Prisoner Cliennell was without money, but that *he int the following morning was found at a pub lic-house lasisii of cash. When the Prisoners were apprehended, they said they had not met or see', each other since the Friday preceding, al tinnigh it would be satisfactorily ahewn they were in eninpaiiv together on the very slight of the murder. The Learned Counsel explained to the .lure, from is map and model of the late Mr. Cheimell's premises at Godolming, their local si tu:Moo. lie described that the deceased Chennell hail had some property which would fall to the Pri soner rot the old man's decease, and explained that he would clearly establish the fact of both Pri toners bring together at the house of the de ceased at the very time that the murder was supposed to have been committed. Some days be fore the murder the Prisoner Chulcraft was heard to exclaim, t' There will lie a bigger blowing-up i.e tiodalining soon than there ever was ;" and the other ['limier Cherinelt was heard shortly before to express a wish that the d—d old housekeeper was dead, that lie would not split if lie saw her mur dered, that he would think it no c to kill her hitusrlf; adding, at the same time, that he wished Ins father, to whom lie applied the most oppro lutons names, was dead, and ti en be would lie able to live comfortable himself. The Learned Counsel said, that in the course of the evidence he would have to introduce the testimony of a female accomplice—he knew the just suspi cion with which a Jury received such evidence, and all he asked was, that they would only credit -it where received corroboration from the testimony 'of indisputable witnesses. The prosecution was lint, iw assured Ike Jure, tarnished with any individual feeling e; ainst the Prisoners. Justice was all that 'was sought for, and that he knew the Jury would give. If they could look at the train of circumstantial evi choke lie had to lay before them, with any rational •doubt of its applicatauti to the Primners, then they would pronounce a verdict of acquittal. lf, uu the contrary, it produced a series of facts incom patible with the innocence of these individuals, .then, however painful was their duty, they must retinal such a verdict as public justice required agaiett the perpetrators of this atrocious and most aggravated crime. The lira witness called w as— George Woods, examiked by Mr. BOLLANn. 1 11 , 1 said he was a baker at Godslining. and knew the late Elizabeth Wileon, Mr. Cheiniell's house keeper, whom be saw and spoke to at eight o'clock on the night of the II di November, when she came to his *hop for a loaf of bread.

He then went down to the door of toe kitchen, followed by the prisoner Chalcraft ; lie saw the corpse of the murdered woman It log so close to she door, that it stopped its courpl-re opening. Vt'striess asked Chalcraft to go up stairs, but he replied, " I cannot go." and Sertierd at the time very much agitated. Witness then came away to call io somebody, leaving► Chalcraft to the passage. The body must have been sects by any body open ing the door mid calling up stairs. sVisi. Henry Causton stated, that lie was a baker, and lived next door to the late 'Mr. Chennell. The hack of his ,presnise• opened into tire yard to which Mr. Cherwell's pasasge led ; a door of his I►onse was nearly opposite to the door of Mr. Cliriniell's front kitchen ; on the night tel Mr. Cirentrell's mur der he went out at a quarter below ten o'clock ; every thing then seemed quiet at Mr. Clwonell'ir; in his kitchen there was certainly sin light. On his return to his house, shortly ulterwarda, he heard thr town cluck strike ten ; he then went to bed.— The wall which divided his house from Mr. Chen hell's was so thin. that what passed in one could be heard iii !heather. He used to hear Mr. Chen. hell going to bed, or talking to his housekeeper; but on that night after be went to bed at ten o'clock be heard swilling. About twenty minutes before eight o'clock in the morning after the murder, he heard of it. He then saw Chalcraft to the middle of the road, w►th his wins folded up, used " My master and Bet are both murdered !" Wit n ess said, .. Good God ! what do you mean, Chalcraft ?" He replied, " Bet lays in the kitchen, and master up stairs !" Witness then went down to the house, and saw the house. keeper lying iu the front kitchen.

The sou (lid wit live with his father, though be fre quently laid his meals with him. Witness lived savers years next to the late Mr. Cliennell, whom he knew to live on very bad terms with his son. He had often heard the Prisoner Cherwell talk coo staidly bad of his father—a month► or two before the murder. he could not speak positively as to the time, lie beard the Prisoner in very bad language express 1111 earnest desire fur his father's death. This he had done for several years past ; on many oc casions witness has shuddered at the corrseness if the expressions used by the. Min. He used also to say, that lie had a great dsslike to the house keeper, whom be wished locoed out of doors, as she was always making tnischief between him at►d his father, anti telling tales of him. On the Son de). jthe day befor: the runnier) he came to tress's bake-house, and carried home his father's dinner. Joint Earl was a elioemaker at Gorlalining, and occasionally' worked for the late Mr. Cherwell. He' worked for him on the night of the murder, and saw him in Iris own shop at a quarter roast seven o'clock on the night of the 10th of November. The housekeeper was then in she kitchen. On the following morning be saw Chalcraft, rs Ito &rid," J olm, for God's sake come over, we can't find master any where, and there is blood in she kitchen." %%Tittle's went in and saw the housekeeper's body, and Chat- craft then exclaimed, " Good God ! here Tier Bet mxtdtred, mini no doubt movter has met the same fate somewhere about the house."

Ile thought the Unmet had lwen cut after life was suspended by a fracture, fur there was no blood spattered about the had, as would base been had the cut been nestle while the arteries had pulsation. lie saw the 'prisoner (mi ne!' very soon after, but be did nut examine his hands or his person. George Austen remembered the morning after the murder. After seeing the priaiiner Clialcrult lu the street, he called him into Cnensell'a shop, awl asked hint if he would like to see the bodies ? He replied, " No ;" on being asked why, lie said, " Because I never saw but one murdered man, and that was at Peterstielil." lie said, ern being again urged to go up stairs, that lie would not go up for all the town. He appeared to he in great agita tion.

Clialeraft put in his left foot, about half his breast, the whole of his head, and turned it round behind the door, being in that position in the morning, he said lie called his minter three times. IVitness took his place in that position, and asked Into why he did not go in at the other kitchen door, which was more within call of his master—he replied, " If you knew the pedigree of it as well as I do, you'd have done the same." It was quite im possible fur any body to have been on the spot where Cholera& said he stood, without seeing the woman's hour. IVituess asked Cholera& when lie was in custody, when he had seen George ? (inearaing the Prisoner, Cherwell ;) lie replied, " Not since the Friday of the previous week, when he saw thin io the plough field."
