Before Lord Chief Justice Assort.. CROWN SIDE..—MURDER. Robert Peat was charged with tl►e wdfull murder of Robert Peat, of Darlingtoti, by infusing certain deadly poisons into victual► prepared for bun. Mr. Witwaste stated the case to the Joey at considerable length, adverting to the principal facts as they hereafter came out iu evidence; and Mr. COOKSON called Sarah Peat. who deposed that she was the widow of the late Robert Peat. She knows the Prisoner at the bar; his father was own cousin to the de ceased. Prisoner lives as Ravensworth. four or five miles from Darlington. She and the deceased lured at Darlington, and the deceased was going to 7• years of age. On the morning of the 1711 i of *Jose, witness bought a shoulder of lamb in Deer lingtoe market, of John Robinson, • butcher sod a neighbour; witness and the deceased ate of it on the Wednesday following; it was sent to the bake house with • pudding. On the Suudav afternoon they ate 1101113 V of it cold ; they were not ill either after the trot or the second time of partaking of it. On the next day (Mondry), about teu o'clock in the forenoon, some of the lamb was put me the fire to make broth of; there was about one ale quart of water in the pan; they were to dine between twelve and one, and were very regular. Between ten and dinner time, witness went to the market; she came back again before eleven, and found her husband sitting by the lire on his chair in the kitchen where the pan was boiling; they have another room backwards; there was nobody in except deceased when she went out, and when she retttrne•l, she found him there. She ag►in went out about eleven, and when she returned she found the deceased walking shoot. The Prisoner followed her in when she came back the second time, and told herhe had been in the house bsfore, nod that her husband was Men in ihe other room. lie inquired how she did, and how her husband was: she replied she was nicely, and fur her husband lie had not been so well for • long time. She bade hint sit down, lie said be had seen the newspapers. and there had Imes' two people poisoned with bad water, •ud one of them was dead. Ile then milted if she hail seen the Dews. paper, and she said she hail something else to do than read newspapers. Nothing more passed, and he went away. The pan was bo►ling all iii:• time. When she returned die filet time she tobaseved among the cinders a spriiikling of glass, but she thought it had come from the cellar with the coals, as the children iii pl.ryitig were apt to throw things down; she noticed it was like phial glass, and not flat like window glee.. About thr usual time they diued : they partook of the broth and the lamb, but they did riot make a good rt . r. for the lamb had • bad taste. It was line lamb, sod ►he did not think it would have had such a taste. She put by the lamb, and the broth was so bad she threw what was left of them out. A bout half•paat one they were both taken violently ill, and both effected in the same manner. Her husband complained of sickness at firs.. Witness MRS so ill blood fell from her nose, and sweat dropped from her brow ; she then begun to think it was not a common siekuess. Vomiting and purging were violent on them both. Her husband had no rest till he expired between twelve and one the next ►noruiog : the syu►ptous never abated—the vomiting and purging continued till the very lust. Front the Monday tall the Fri day she was hardly ever out of bed ; ilia ate tiothing during that time, and nothing gave her ease but a cup of cold water. The deceased was buried on Thursday evening. A Man• Smurthwsite Caine to nurse them on the Morichly ulternoon. She ate some of the lamb for her supper by desire of the witness. There was also a Man• Bolam, a neigh bouring servant, came to a•sut them, but she did net eat of it. 'Flue remain. of the lamb war given to Sarah Stainaby, a woman with a poor family ; wit mess thought it would be of use to them. She got the water from their own pump: it is the water they always use, and is excellent. The pan was iron, and en use every 11.1 y. When she was first seised, her stomach swelled dresdfully. On her cross-examination by Mr. HOLT, she raid her husband was going of 78, end she would be 67 on the last day of September; they had been 20 years married in December next. Her husband had • good deal of property. She has known the Prisoner many years; lie is married, and has.seven children. The deceased never could abide the Pri soner, but witness always treated him with kindness. He generally called wilco he came to market. They had no relations, and she wsa always pleased to see him, as she knew they were both going into age. It was hot weather when the lamb Will hough,. Witness did not collect evidence apinst him ; he had exposed himself with such foolish behaviour, that witnesses rote up against him of themselves. There was oatmeal cud an onion in the tooth; no other herbs. Witness will swear that the Prisoner told her he had been in the house before, and that her husband was absent. Her hushood wsa dull of hearing, and look no notice of the Prisoner when he came in. Witness answered all the questions that were asked. Her husband wits a we a kly roan , in a dee' . • g State; but he was in very good health at that time. [The Learned Coonsel, with some severity, con tinued to go over newly the whole of the prrviuus evidence, evidently with a view of getting the wit neas to preva►ieste. In one instance his Lordship interfered, thinking it unnecessary. Mr. that sub mitted that in a case like this, in which his Client stood in such imminent danger, he was perfectly justified - in the line of defence he was pursuing. In reply, his Lordship intimated, that had the bituation of the Prisoner nut been so very serious, lie should have interfered long before. His Loidsbip also ob served, that if the Learned Gentleman would go over the evidence again, he was bound to do tt in the order in which it had been done before, and not to transpose questioni with the Tien of misleading the witness.] Cross-examinatiou continued..Wane* , did not think that it was the meat which had made them so bad. She told the nurse to est some of the lamb, because she did not think it had that offence in it which was afterwards found. Doe. not think any one saw the blood fall from her nose.—(Mr. Holt, " I dare say not.")—Thinks Mary Sulam took it Away. When they took bad, she was not able to send fur a surgeon, nor did she think of it: she never had a doctor iti her life but one. In re-examination by Mr. WILLIAMS, she said she got the oatmeal in the house; she had used some of it before with perfect safety, and had some of it left, though she bad not used it since. She saw the Prisoner again at four in the afternoon ; he never called in the evening before. She bad ac quainted the Prisoner. for she took him for a friend. with every thing regarding he► affairs. She told him when her husband and her should depart, the property would be sold, and the money divided, one half to the relations on his side, and the other half to the relations on her's. There were some half cousins living. The Prisoner knew her hull band had made a will ; he culled one day, and she showed it to him. Being again cross-examined, she said her husband never was to say quite well since site knew him ; he had • complaint in his head and eyes ; comphsined of oppressive head-ach and heaviness. Sometimes his eyes were 11181111Ded. He often complained of his health, and kept to the house ; he had not been at church for four years. He had ■ good appetite, sad slept well; and was food of hot meat and pudding. Mary Bolan) said she lived on the other side of the passage in the same house, and knew the de ceased about 21 years; recollects his being taken ill. Suw him that morning about 9, and again about 11. She spoke to him at 9. ■nd he seemed better than usual. She saw no difference in him at II; he was walking in the yard. She saw them both ill at half-past one. Mr. Peat had gone to bed, and Mrs. Peat %vas throwing terribly. Mr. Peat wanted to throw, but could not. She wanted to hold Mrs. Peat's stomach, who could not bear to hive it held. it was so sore. Witness was obliged to go back and forward ; she could not stay long to gether. She was afterwards in the yard, and Mrs. Pest called her in; site went in and found her sit ting on her knees throwing sadly. She raised the old man up in bed, and lie got • little off his stomach ; has not been accustomed to see people sick. Mrs. Peat desired her to go for Mary Smut thwaite. She saw Mr. Peat between 10 and 11 I he was, during that time, very ill. endeavouring to throw. Mrs. Peat could not lift her head, she was so ill. She continued sick till the Friday. though she threw no more after the Tuesday. Stir sweat a great deal in her bed. She knows the Prisoner; saw hitn on the day they were seized, about 4 o'clock. He came to her back door snd desired her to look after them, for they were both very poorly; he also asked if they had any body to assist them. He said nothing further to her but that they were both ill. Site saw him again about eight that night ; he was standing on the opposite side of the street, and she beckoned him to eon* over; he came over, and she told him they were both very ill, amid desired him to send ■ doctor ; he said he would not send • doctor. fur he did isoi fount Mrs. Pent to kaoi that he was is the town. Being cross-examined, she raid she knew the Prisoner Wore. There was a doctor living about thirty yards frern the horse. The Piisorirr said he had beers itithe house when she saw him at four o'clock. Mary Smurthwsite deposing to being sent for to Prat's shout six in the evening ; she went directly, and found them both violently ill. Mr. Peat was in bed very bad; wanted to be up every tier minutes for the purpo.e of purging. Mrs. Peat war vomiting very much. She continued there all night. The old man was rambling in his talk. About twelve he gave over, and witness thought he was going to sleep. De died about lialf.past twelve. In the course of the night Mrs. Prat desired her to get some supper. She went to • cupboard by Mrs. P.'s directions, and got some lamb; she did not est shove three bites of it on account of the badness of its taste. About half an hour after she was unwell ; threw up and purged very much for about an hour and a half afterwards; was not very well next day, but did not throw tip. By desire of Mrs. Peat she gave the lamb to Sarah Stainsby, a poor woman in Darlington, with • small family. Witness had never tasted laudanum before eating of the lamb. She hid since had laudanum given to he► by the Doctor, to see if she knew the taste,. and immediately recognised the taste of the meat. Cross-examined..—She did not say to Mrs. Peat that she had been ill from the lamb when she was desired to give it to Stainsby; she gave it away on the Tuesday. She told Bolam, in the morning that the meat had not agreed with her. _ Sarah Stainsby confirmed the testimony of the last witness, as to receiving the lamb from her in Mrs. Pest's kitchen. When she went home, .he gave some of it to her hualisnd and to a daughter I I years old. Fire husband refored it at the tint taste, but took two or three bites more. lie was very well at that time, so was her daughter. Shortly after they were both token ill, and vomited violent ly. younger children also tasted it, and were soon after very ill, vomiting much. She tasted about a quarter of an ounce herself. She took it between twelve and one , and at half•past three was vomiting sore; she continued sick till ten at night. She was sore all over her body. and was desperately thirsty ; her husband and children were also very thirsty. As in toe case of last witness, she had orw ver tasted laudanum till administered to her by the doctor, when she immediately fouud the taste of the meat. B. I.llankison lives at Ferryhill, is an officer of excise, and knows the Prisoner. Witness lirrd formerly at Dirlinginii. Ile saw the Prisoner there on the 10th of Juin., and had some convontation with him. The Prisol er said there wus an old man whom he would watch aft opportunity of seeing, us he thought he wants', to wrong him out of some loo ney. He saw him :it twelve on the same day, and he told him he hail br.so to the house and li.id got the will, and the old woman was out : if witness would go into • public-house he would let him see it. Witness did not go with him, hut saw him -again on the 17th, when he told him it was an old will he had got.. IVitness saw hiss again on the 24th, about eleven o'clock, when he took a bottle on, of kis pocket, mul *aid it contained laudanum, and that if the old women had it, it would do her trick. Witness was then cress-etsmintd at some length, to shew the improhability of the Prisoner letting him into his coatiraer, who was no relation, who was trot even in the habit of visiting him at his honve, &c. John Smith is a druggist in Darlington : knows the Prisoner ; has seen him twice at his shop. On the 24th, about deceit o'clock, he emu, to Lis shop and asked for ■n ounce of laudanum. Wit n ess objected to his having it, and told him it was a very dangerous thing for any to have who did not under stand it. The Prisoner said it was for some ladies at Middleton, who knew well how to use it. lie was going to Middleton himself that day. Wit ewes then gave him rather better than an ounce in a Om phial. The Poisoner came again to hie shop on the 23d of July, amid asked him if he recollected him. Witness said he clod. The Prisoner then observed that he was blamed about Robert Pest; but, he added, he had the bottle of laudanum which he bought of him at home yet. _ . On his cross-culmination he said, there wns no one in the shop but himself end the Prisoner when the laudanum was got : the Prisoner never men tioned his mother to witness. Richard Nicholson, a constable, apprehended thy Prisoner on a charge of stealing the will. This man's evidence related entirely to the wi:l. It ap peared, however, that in searching the Prisoner's house for the will, the Prisoner's mother gave wit ness a bottle of laudanum with only a little out of it. Mr. Richard Hodgson, a surgeon in Darlington, was examined as to the effects described by the wit nesses being the produce of laudanum alone. Wit ness stated it to be his belief that something stronger had been dissolved in it. He further stated, that owing to the time which had elapsed from the death of Peat to the investigation of the business, in his judgment it would have been of no avail to disinter the body for the purpose of surgical examination. Remembers giving laudanum to the witnesses for the purpose of giving them an opportunity of recog nising the taste. He was cross.exomined at great length by Mr. Sturkie to skew that the deceased might die of apo plexy, not only from the general state of his health, but from his habit of living, undo's() that he might hare died of apoplexy from the retching, &c. caused by sickness. In re-examination, he said he had nn doubt that the deceased died by the administration of poison. . _ John Stain►by depo►ed to ts►ting the laudanum given by the List wiineve, and its similarity in taste to the meat which mode hies and his wife and chil dren so ill. Thomas Horner, a subsc►ibing witness to the will of Robert Peat, proved the execution of the will. which did htcpteath all that Robert Peat was worth to his dear wife, Sarah Peat, and her heirs. &c. Mrs. Prat identified the will as the one she *hewed to the Prisoner. The Prisoner bring asked fisr bis defrnce, 'aid he was innocent of what they laid to linn, bat called 110 witnesses. His Lo►dship then %rimmed up. He observed there were but two questions for the cousideration of the Jury ; the first war, whether the unfortunate man died by poison ; and if he did, whether the Prisoner was the person by whom that poison was administered. After ■ short absence, the Jory returned a ver dict of Gwilly. Mr. HOLT then rose, and moved an arrest of judgment, on the ground that there was an allega tion omitted in the framing of the indictment. The indictment charged the Prisoner generally with min gling the poison in the broth, &c. but there was no allegation that the Prisoner knew that the broth. &c. so mixed was actually preparing for the use of the deceased. Mr. STARKIR followed with various citations, to shew that such an allegation was ■bsolutely neces sary to support the indictment. Mr. CooksoN replied. lie said the indictment was sufficient as it stood : that in fact they could not prove such knowledge on the part of the Prisoner, and that such an allegation under these circumstances was rendered totally unnecessary. He then cited a ca►e where the indictment was less par ticular in its structure, and yet had been sufficient for the purposes of conviction. This was again answered on the pert of the Prisoner, and his Lordship intimated that he should feel it hi. duty to take the opinion of his brother, Wood, though, if it rested with him to decide, be should have pronounced the indictment to be suf ficient. On the Wednesday morning the Prisoner was again put to the bar, and his Lordship proceeded to read from a paper which he held, • recapitula tion of the arguments of the Counsel on both aides, together with the opinion of himself and Mr. Baron Wood ; the opinion of their Lord ships being that the indictment was perfect.— His Lordship then proceeded to pass sentsnre of Death upon the unhappy Prisoner. He ob served, in substance, that the Prisoner had been found guilty, after a most patient investigation, by a careful and intelligent Jury, on the clearest evidence, of a most atrocious murder, amid that, too, for worldly gain, when the probability was that • little time would have pot him in full possession of that at which he aimed. He had had the aid and assistance of excellent Counsel, who had exerted all their ingenuity in his behalf. Ills time on earth would I.e ex tremely short ; mercy here could not reach him; and it was oily for him to avail himself with all speed of the time lii' had, to court that mercy which could alone be serviceable to him hereafter. Of his guilt there could be no doubt. The manlier in which he hail been seen hovering about his victims was conclusive of that. Ilia Lordship then, after again imploring him to make the best of his time in procuring his peace with God, ordered him to be hanged on Friday, the gth of August, and his body to let delivered over to the Surgeons for div as ct ion. The Prisoner's deportment daring his trial and sentence was firm and becoming. At the latter part of his Lordship's address his eyes became slightly suffused, and a rapid movement of the eye-lids continued at intervals until he was removed from the bar, but no other symptom of sensiblity was apparent. ~' K I i , i~ 11 , NOM IN CORONEILT INQI7L'STS.
