Oliver, a man about six.feet high, of a strong athletic form,, at d.Oteeti Haggerty, alias Eggerty - , werearraigned,•on the oaths ;of John , Vickery and others, on suspicion • of the murder of Join Cole Steel, jn:the Parish of Henston,, in,- the • Co , lnty of Middlesex,. on the 6th of November, There_were two counts in the Indi&ment ; the one - stated the offence to have been committed by the infli&ion of divers Vows with a stick or cudgel ; the other, that the crime, had been coml. filitted by strangulation of the deceased. " The pleadings were opened Mr. GuhNey then addressed. the Jury in a speech 'of coffsiderable length, on the part-of the 'prosecn tion. He began-by most'. humanely giving , his ad vice to .the Jury, that they should not sutler them selves to be so fax inflamed by a spirit of indigna .tion against a crime of such magnitude, as that was now imputed to the Prisoners at the bar, as to let it escape their memory, that every thing that fell, from the Witness tbr the Crown, W - 7as to be received with the utmost caution, where itAvas-nnsuPportedhy, any other evidence; neither would : they, he was sure, permit their minds to he _1 for a Moment led a A-ay by any rumours which might 1 hive reached them as to the part which the Pri soners were suppOscd to have borne in this trans- It was equally as important a duty with a Jury, that.they should see that the innocent were ,freed frOm'aceusation, as that, the:guilty should he delivered over to that punishment which theoffend ed lawn of their country demanded.. He then detailed the . circumstances of the case, which were .after wards stated in..evidence ; •concluding with an ob serVatidn, that the Jury would have two objeos,.in view, Ist, that of the guilt of the Witness Haufield, and of this they would have abundant confirmation; Vdly; as to t!le guilt or innocence of .the- Prisoners, and that . they would have_ to conclude according as the circumstances of the case,might,warrapt them, and according to the best of :their judgment, from the different evidence that they would have bete them. Thomas _Stephen Gerard Meyer, brother-in-law to the late Mr. Steel, deposed, that the deceased was a distiller of lavender-water, living in, Catharine street, in..the Strand.' Oh Friday morning the sth of November, .1802, he left town, for the purpose of going - to Feltham, near Hounslow, where be had a bouse, building, and some improvements making for. carrying on his business more extensively. He soine,- . times did not return to town so pundually as might be expected, and no one went to the country to in-, quire after him until the Wednesday following. The, witness then went to Feltham, where he .was in formed that Mr. Steel_ had. left his house there on . Saturday - evening, at Jaezit seven o'clock. . 143 e. then made further inquiry, along with other persons whom he engaged to go with hirn. for that purpose. A great coat,. which he believed to have been that of the deceased, which had 'some blood upon one of the shoulders, an' old hat, and a thick stick, were found upon ditfereht parts of the Common, and his body was fouled on the opposite side of the road.--- A reward of 501. was then offered by the family for the discovery of the perpetrators of.the murder. - Henry Mandy, inspeaed the works, and paid the men who were engaged at Mr. Steel's im provements, proved that the deceasedieft-that place at about a quarter before seven, the evening of Sa turday the 6th of November ; Mr. Steel. had not at the time above six or seven and twenty shillings in his pockets; - he had a drab-coloured great coat, which the witness had helped hinlon with on Satur day evening ; he also wore, a round_ bat, almost new, and a pair,ofhalf-boots. On the Wednesday following he searched, along with Mr. Meyer, for the bock'' , of Mr. Steel, as by that time it : was con cluded that heMust, have been killed. Opposite the third clump of trees the witness found au old hat, which he gave .05 4 Mr. Meyer. They went to the barracks for assistance, and on their return the wit ness found a. great coat, which he believed to have belonged to the deceased ; it , was lying in ,some water, and he pulled : it out from among.the fide ' s that were growing there. Wm. Hughes found the body, of the deceased in a ditch, near the third clump of trees, on the Heath; it had'a part of the bank thrown over it, the remain der was nearly covered with rushes, and the.flap of the coat was thrown over the face. 'There was a leather strap round the neck ; it appeared to have - been drawn_ so tight that the buckle was broken ; it was then fleitened by cutting a hole in one part, through which the other end was drawn, , and then fastened by. sticking a knife in it. The face was covered with blood and dirt.. He .found a pair of Shoes. about fifty'yardS from the body, on the 'same side of the road. 'There was not either hat or shoeS on the rcinaiiis of Mr. Stet' *hen they Were found. Mr.lienry Frogley, who was so infirm that he was dra4ged, in on a chair, gave. testimony that he had examined the body and the head of the deceas ed... He fonn4 - a verylarge and extensive fraatire on the front-of the head, with some laceration of the integtiments; which appeared to have been Ocp 'sioued by a stick or some blunt instrument. There was also a very severe wound, anda laceration of the integuments on the - back part of the head, but no fratAtlre'there.- The neck appeared to have received so much injury by the application of the leather - strap so tight that it was in itself sufficient to have caused serangulaiion. There were other blows of I im portance o 6 the right arm and other placeslrut it *lli his opinion that the deCeased might have• come by his death either by the fraatire of the skull or the puking the leather strap round the neck.

South Molton-ttrect, Grosvenor-squar4 At the SUN.OFFIcE No. 112, btraud ; where Advertisements, Orders fort he' Paper, ,Letters f9r. the Editor, &c. (post-puid), must be addressed. A. draft of the Heath was laid on the table, for the further information of the Jury as to the relative situations of Mr. Steel's house, the barracks, the clump of trees, the ditch where the body was found, &c. The King's pardon, under the Great Seal, to Franfield, remitting his sentence of transp?rtation for seven years, for a larceny, which, he had been convißed of, and restoring him to his .competency as a witness, was read by Mr. Shelton, Clerk of the arraigns. Benjamin Hanfield, a tall, strait voang man, who was the principal evidence onthe part of the Crown, gave his evidenCe with an uncomm as degree of steadiness and perspicuity, considering the situation in which he stood. He knew Haggerty, the Smaller man, about eight or nine years, and HolloWay, the larger one, about six or seven. They had'frequent ed the Turk's Head and Black Horse, in Dyot-street, : St. Giles's, and the Black. Dog, the-corner of Bel,' ton-street, Long-acre, in company with him.— About the beginning of NoVember, 180 Y, Holl6- way asked bun if he had any ObjeCtion to be in a good tiling? To which the witness!answered, certain ly not: but then asked him when and where? After two or three days dallying, HollOway answered to his' inquiries, that it . was to serve a Gentleman oti Hounslow' Heath next Saturday (meaning to - rob him). They•set off at twelve at noon, on the lay proposed, and ended their journey about four o'clock, opposite the eleven mile stoneon Hounslow Heatli They delayed upwards of en 'hour lurking about that spot, till it was dark ; the moon was up, but it was obscdred.- - 'They then saw Mr. Steel the witness desired him to stop and deliver his money ; th e de ceased.said he would very willingly, but•begged them not to use him ill. The deceased gave his money. to Haggerty, but Holloway, supposing that he had a pocket-book which he was unwilling to give up, knocked him down .with a stick: The deceased continued to resist, and Helloway'repeated his blows tilt a coach came up; ',just at:that Aline the .deceased gave two heavy moans. The witness was alarined, and ran off. The case has'heen already so fully described, that it is 'needless - to give them 'here as' stated in Court. It is sufficient to state that the Prisoner said, that when he was in Newgate there ivas a general con versation among the Prisoners about robberies, - and Mr. Steel's case was mentioned-among the rest. The Witness said it Lay heavy on his mind, and he could not refrain froth observing, that there were,but three men that could tell how that happened. Accord ing to the witness's own term, they thought he was going to nose, that is, to inform ; from motives of prudence,. he said no more about it while he was in prison.. This hint of his was .carried farther, and lie was brought to 'town from Comberland Fort, near Plythouth. Haggerty was afterwards taken from on ,board the Shannon, in the_ Downs,. by Vickery, the same Officer that took Hanfield. He was sick at the time, and was very near fainting when the Port Ad, miral asked him where he was this time four yeare, John Smith, the coachman , who drove the Gos.- port coach across Honnilotv Heath on the evening of the 6th of November, heard 'two diStind - Moans as he was about midway on the s Heath. • • - The Prisoner, Holloway, declared at 'Worship street, that he had never been near Hounslow in his life; but two or three witnesses proved the contrary, Blackthan, Crocker, Jones, and Limbriek, street Officers, swore that they had often seen .Han field and Haggerty in company together; though . the Prisoner, Haggerty, denied that be had any knowledge of Hanfield at the Police Office. Narts, Esq. the Magistrate, read a Paper, con- . taming various minute statements' as given by the Prisoners, many of which were contradicted by other witnesses that were afterwards examined by the worthy Magistrate. Daniel Bishop, an Officer of Worship-street swore that, he was posted in a privy near the place wh ere the - Prisoners were confined separately. He there heard them talk together, and took minutes of what passed between them. The .general tendency o f this was to sliel,v that the Prisoners laboured hard to be of one story; that they- made use of many harsh expressions concerninglianfield, and most anxiously expressed their hopes and fears as they thought the case seemed to take a favourable or an unfavourable turn. They professed the utmost sincerity towards, each other ; and when the case-was supposed to go hard with them, one resolved on having Mr. Alley, and the other Mr. Knapp, for his Cottnsel. One of thethacknowledged one time. that it must be at the place that Hanfield stated that they had some.gin to gether?when they came to town. Different witnesses endeavoured to preye that Mr. Steers hat would fit .Holloway,. and that his boots aught very nearly fit' Haggerty. To these points, however, the Court was not disposed to listen with much attention. The Prisoners, in their defence, gave a 'positive denial of the charge, declared that Hanfield was al-r most a stranger to them, and endeavoured to convey to the Court and Jury, .the idea' that he 'was a bad general charaCter, and had told some untruths in - this instance. After ,a 'most impartial and bumane Charge from Mr. Justice LE BLANC, the Jury withdrew for about a quarter of-an hour, and then pronounced both the Prisoners Guilty: The Recorder then passed the awful sentence of the Law, which was in substance that they - should be executed on- Monday, and their bodies be delivered to the Surgeons. Holloway shewed some symptoms of feeling for his own situa tion at intervals ; but Haggerty was unmoved throughout the whole of the trial. , The Court was extremely crowded throughout the whole time of the above-tnentioned. trial: The Marquis of ABERCORN sat next Baron SuVroN on the Bench: 'There were several Magistrates for the, County of Middlesex also on the Bench. Mary Prince was brought to the Bar, and arraign ed on two indictments, 'for uttering forged Bank Notes—but Mr. FIELDING, 'on the patt of the Go vernorS and DireetOrs of the Bank of England, stated, that there was a third indielmeni against the Pri soner, for, having forged Bank of England Notes in her posSeskion. ,Shehad agreed to plead guilty to the latter, which was the. lesser ofience, and the Bank had, with permission of the Court, forborne to enter into 'evidence on the other indictments, ~which might have subjected her to .be punished as a capital f e lon.- :Liizabet4 quttfre l was tried .for' the .murder of Rich. Prince, by giving him a stab below the left eye with a clasp knife, on Christmas day laSt; of which -he languished in Middlesex Hospital until the 18th of January, when 7he died. The offence was committed in a house that was said to have been inhabited by persons of bad ,clia ra6ter. - The' Prisoner :and the deceased had had re peated (panls,. and, on the night but one before the day-stated in the indi&ment, the Prisoner had been put, into. -the wateh 7 hoUse at the instigation of the deceased. On tile day on whiCh the offence had - been committed, the deceased had, in 'a 'qUarrel, cut the Prisoner's arm with-a bloW of,herown pattern. She applied to a Bow-street officer• to take hiM into - custody, but the offiCer told her that he could not apprehend people in that manner. She was very much exasperated, went and drank More than she ought to do, and, returning 'home, inflicted the wound on the deceased of which he died. This deliberation, mid her. words •after ;the blow -was • given, were particularly pointed out for the conside ration of the Jury, by Mr. Justiee HEATH, with tried the case. ' • . The Jury, afters few minutes' deliberation,•found the. Prisoner g6ilty, and sentence of death was passed on her innnediately.;-, She was ektreniely distressed at the time of parsing the sentence, and was obliged to be carried from the doek by two of the gaoler's men.—Four Prisoners were ccnvi&ed of ferany, Michael De, Awes Burst, Robert . Maddox, and Charles Brinton-;--and. two were acquitted. The folldwing is an Extra& of a Letter fiom an Officer atMaldonadd to his Friend at Exeter, dated Maldonado, Rio-de la Plata, Dec. 8, 1 . 806.
