We copy the following from the Leeds Mete:goy or host Saturday, January 22: Thia week one of those dreadfnl event. which never fill to excite public sympathy, and to spread consternation and alarm through it neighbourhood, has occurred in the towitship of Wilniey, within three tittles of Bradford. In the foretiorm of Mots day last, a poor aged tvainan, of the name of Eliza beth Ashton, n. 811111514 at arrtshearl, applied to John Storages, EMI. of Bawling, one of the Ma gistrates of this Rathog, for a summons, for the tiverseett of her township, to thew cause why • they did not stford her additional relitf. Tills p-or women, it seems, was a widow, and hat been the mother of a mimeo'''. fatnily ; but they are all now of an age to mitotaist themselves, and tine relief she sought wig two shillings a week to wards her own support. On her return home, tiller she had got her sumo ttttt she called at the Block IJ'g public-hottse, in Witt-ey, kept by James North, and c4lled fora pint of ale. At this time she wore n grey cloak, with the hood over her bonnet, and it laitrilkerchii-f tied wood her neck, at the outside of the cloak. %Viten she en tered the house the landlidy thought she had the appettraoce of harlot: err tidy taken some hquor. Whil e the o hd woman was ibunki , ,g her ale, k co lli er , and Joh,. Poillips, a cart-driver, who had both been titling drinkni ; .; tit the publ7c boort ever siiice m ow, etilvred thin with tier, and Phillips cautrired ii) pat•l him- i self off tipoti her 34 the tilasier ill the Itutise, of the same time throsim; his loran round her neck, ta:t voine iodeceot liberties •viit h her per son. This cuuduct, and the conv,r.aitiiiii w hi c h scciina l oiiiiell it, shocke:l the drce"cy of some of the company, mid tiie mistress of the !louse wished the .11 wmnati to be uavelling homeward. To this she iilijectrd, a n d wished for another pint of ale, at the same time requesting of Phillips, sup posing I still to he the Isiallurd, to allow her to slop all stating that the wav not aithont mos ney, and Ili it she could pay for utiy accommoda tion that might be offoided to her. Mrs. North„ IllteVer, w.O deltrnalliCti that she should leave her house, and at length Fletcher and Phillips pro posed that they would take her to the house of one Henrietta Broadbesit, who lives hard by, and where, they said, she might hove a lodging. Before she lel: the public-liuuse she took stone money from her pocket, and offered Mrs. North a shilling, in pay men: tor her rile. This shilling was thought not to be a good one, soil she Oros tendered sixpence, nod received threepence in chatige. About f o ur o'clock she left the Block Dog, ac. compaiiied by Mark Fletcher and John Phillips, each or them tot•li hold of our of her arms, Fletcher having, at the same tinie, his arm round her neck, and ;trot in the direction of Henrietta Broadhelit's. It appeats, however, that they did not call at her house; but at they passed her on the road. Iltroadbe;.tioquired who that woman was, and what they were going to do with her I To which replied—'. What is Iloat to yes; mind your own business." 'ritey then hurried her on, mud, occording to their own conlessiori, took her to a remote part of Hodsell Moor, to the eabiu of at cool•pit, belonging to Blessrs. Hird„ Dawson, ' Ii irdy, rind Field, at Wood Eurl, which is about three qoorters of a toile from the Black Dog, and inure HMI hallo mile rrOM Broodbent's. It orprefois that *bout six o'clock in the evening Fletcher again returned to the public-house; and in the course of the same eventug, but at what hour casisisot be very correctly ascertained, Phillips re turned also. On Fletchei's return, Mrs. North impiiied of him what they had done with the old woman ? to whichise replied, that he had left her wi►h Philisps, in a pit', cabin, and as it was very near to the pit's mouth, he had desired him to take care of her, for fear she should fall into it. About time o'clock in the evening, • boy, of the name of John Walker, went to his work at Hodgell Wood Eial pit, but as his companion had not come: to work, he laid down in the cabin. When be had' been there for about half an hoer he heard • noise, at if a stone had been censored from the wall of an adjoining *lied, and almost immediately after he saw a face look in at the door-way, but it was in staidly withdrawn, and he cannot say whether it was the face of • man or a woman, from the transient view be had of it. Soon after the boy had seen this face, by which he was meth affrighted, Joseph Shaw, the Int-maii with whom be works, came to the pit, anal was lowered down to his work. Here, to his great' -surprise. Shuw found a scaffolding, which had been erected a, a distance of 14 yards from the bottom of the pit, was broken down, and on being barred .to the bottom, be found the body of a woman laid WI her face, and two large stones laid beside her, at a distance of a few iticliett. Horror-struck at the .sight he requited some time to recover his faculties ; at length, he communicated to his fellow's the ap palling intelligence, and after they had fetched - the 11.• pe ri tepid a t of the pit, they drew up the ,hedy, but before it was removed, Shaw, the pit man, observed that there was a grey cloak, loosely wrapped op in the form of a bundle, laving upon her beck, and when lie took it up a bonnet dropped out of it. On the body being brought to the surface, it up- I peered that every bone in the 14ari was broken, stud that the was otherwise terribly mangled by the fall into the bottom of the pit, winch is at least eight yards from the pit's mouth. Au ularro wall ituturthately givers, and soon after teas o'clock, the news reached the company in the Black Dog that a woman was found killed in Ho.isell-wood-fad Prt ; and a short examination proved that it ems the souse woinau who lied left the public-house with Mark Fletcher and John Phillips that afternoon. Suopicion ettached to these sots, former of wl has u wife and three elnidress; ! arpd the latter is ins nemarried gnaw, las the courier of the following day their conduct vials Gee!! Valless. sed, uud uli Wednesday they were apprelleledvd by the constable, and have beets its Oattterly ewer Ots I'l.mi:day, James Wiglesworth, Edge the Coroner of Ilailfax, held so loopiest on the body, whets the fact. as above stated came out in evidence. After the witnesses had been examined, Mark Fletcher, who is • married lulls, with a family of three children, was called on, anal his account of this fatal end mysterious trausisction wits tis follows: When we left the Black Dug we pasoseil the 1 lieute of Betty Broadbent, who said to us as we gassed, gl Away with you forward with her." We theta went to the cabin, and between 'five and six o'clock I left Phillips and the oreusan in the cabin together, at which time she was laid ou the floor before the fire. I then returned to my company at the Black Dog, where I had barn drinking since imme. iVhen I left her she ;lad Dn her grey cloak and bonnet on the same was ss when she quilted the public-house. When Phillip. ret.irned, which might be about an hour afqcr, I asked where he had left the old wo. man, 1.. wH4•I I lie answered that lie had not left her in the c.sliiii, but afterwards he changed his story, and s4s , l lie WI her Over.. When he said hr not Iris her in the edit:et. I said would tell the mistress, meaning Mrs. North. but I did u. t tell her." In answer to a question by one of the Jury, why they took her to the pit Vire said, because there were were several persons about the moor ▪ and they thought she would there be rpieit. Tice) took her there to sleep. Ile recollects s e eing it hail .billing that ElizaLeth Ashton had at the inn, but he dill nut bee any of her money after wards. They had no drink in the cabin. John Phillips is a stout athletic young man, shout Cif et! or Inur-url•twrnty years of age. and was hrought up u vollier, but now a cart-driver :be g use the fullowiug testimony :—" Whets Elizabeth Ashton came into the Black Dog I wits not ire the , and when I came in she asked me if I was the landlord, to which I said, yea." lu answer to n question whether he had not taken some familiartLes in the room with her, he said lie had, lint he desciihed them as less gross than one or Ole forore► witnesses had stated them to be. In continuation he said--" We saw Beth• Broad bent as we passed down from the Black bug, but we dill nut ask her to let the woman lodge, though I think we spoke to her. We took the old woman to Wood End pit cabin, because we thought she would sleep better there thou out of dart's. We dill not call at any of the other cabins which were nearer, because there were people about, and we thought they would plague her as she was quite tiosy ; we both of us left her between five and six o'clock, at which time she was laid before the fire, at about a yard dis►ance, and was lured and fast a•leep. 1 remained with her about a minute after Fletcher W.lll guar—nut more, and I was back at the Black Dog as soon as him, or in a minute or tw o after him. I never saw any more of her money, and when we left her sleeping by the fire, she had her cloak and bonnet oil the same as when she left the public-house. On my return, I told Fletcher that I had left her in the cabin, and I never said that I had not left her there." The next witness called was Mr. Warburton, the surgeon of the next village, and his evidence went to *hew that the death of the deceased was occa sioned by the dreadful bruises and fractures which she had received in consequence of the fall into the coal-pit. He added, that her person did not - ex hibit any appearance of violence having been used to her previous to the fall. The woman who un d.essed her gave evidence to the same effect, and added, that on her exam' g her pockets, no nio ury was found upon her, neither the bad shilling nor noy other muuey, except four-pennyworth of copper.. _ _ _ In this stage of the investigation, the Jury ex. prettied a wish to adjourn, conceiving that the mat ter could not be satisfactorily gone through that evening, and at eight the adjournment took place, till ten o'clock the following morning. FRIDAY, JANUARY 21. This day the Inquest was reunited ut the Black Dog public-home, to which place it was adjourn ed how the Hare and Wands. Several wit mimes were examined, and their evidence went to shew from the testimony of witnesses who overheard their conversation, that when Fletcher and Phillips were hurrying the old woman to the cabin, they re presented to her that they were taking her too new house where sloe would be decently lodged, and that it was at the distance of about half-n-mile from the public-house which she had left. It also op. peered, that at supposed that Elizabeth Ashton was still in the cabin, as be repreeruted to some young menu hi► companions, who were of a wedding party at the Black Dog, that he could take them to a woman •t u distance of 20 minutes' walk from that house, which he afterwards said was Hodsell Nook Cabin, and he importuned them to go with him to par take of his brutal gratifications. When it was dis covered that the deceased bad folks into the cabin, Fletcher, who repaired with others to the place, became agitated to tears and when he was asked why lie was so lunch affected, and if he had any thing to do with it, he turned away from James IVoodhead, who made the inquiry, without giving any answer. His contrition also was manifested, and the nature of his offence explained by an obser vation which lie made in the presence of William Fieldhouse and others, about an hour after tile body was taken out of the pit, to whom lie said—" If he gut over this affair, lie would never again be false to his wife." The investigation having closed, the Coroner pro- ceeded to sum up the evidence. The fact, he said, wits clear, that the deceased bud been taken to the cabin by the pripotiera, Mark Fletcher and John Phillips, nod that her death was occasioned by fall lit:: into the pit. IVbether she was thrown in by the plistiners, or the fell in by inietaking her way oat of the cabin, stn ht admit of some doubt, though he thought, from the stature of the evidence, peril tidally from that given on the second day, that she had fa:len accidentally into the ',it. This would, however, nut be ctiondeted iu the nature of an accident by the law ; for if a pets ~,,, with a parpow, took or decoyed smother into a 'situation Of insmiertit danger, and after having left 1 . 0 chat exposed ellu9llPn, drink ensued, the law would countier site offeLding party as guilty of • murder. 11'ith all the facts before thew, and aided by the Coroner's itiatructiuns. the Jury retired, and after •bout 'Hair an loomed absence, they returned with their verdict, w Hell wits recorded in terms to the following etlrt•t i— u That Mark Fletcher and John Phillips slid, on Moarlay the 1 hat afJainl3ry 'Ramat, ta he the deceased Elmalselk Akab ism hi the colou or a coal-pis, knuwei by the Hausa of Iludaell Nuok•pit, where they left and akseried ha r ass Onie the top of the raid pit, Unit, by trawl* a sack desertion and learinc,-she fell halo the battoinuf dm, &aid pit, sad was kilian.—auil the Jury further say, tleat tire lista Mark Fletcher . . • • • and lobo Phillips, bee t the suit Minim% Addeo, ;s almi . use sad by the mesas sfortvaid,44 kW aid mserder., Upon this verdict she Coroner committed the Prisoners to York Castle. trriake their trial fur t:.e murder. at the ensuing Assizes. • In giving this sr:timid to the public we hav e stated mere facts, feeling it to be our ditty carefailiv to abstain from m eking any observed ur droving nil, inferences either to the arlystitage or thi.ntr.„ tage of the Prieopiers.
