Mr. COPPER, brushmaker, of Hill-street, stated that the wife of the deceased came to his house between twelve and one, on Wednesday, much agitated, and said she feared her husband had destroyed himself, when he lecompanied her home, and found him suspended in the back room of the first floor by a cord, from an opening in the wainscot over the door. He di rectly cut him down and sent for a surgeon, who endea voured to bleed him in vain—life was extinct. The de ceased had subsisted by vending pamphlets, and latterly ap peared distressed in his mind. Verdict—lnsanity. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1828. THE POLSTEAD MURDER. had gaping edges. From the nature of th e wound, I should judge that it had not been inflicted when the pericardium was removed. The apex of the living heart touches the ribs. There are cartilages connecting the ribs with the sternum, and with each other. The bones of the head were not in a state of the least decomposition. The only parts which were out of their places were those where the wounds had been inflicted by the bullet: I first saw the bead after the exhumation of the body. It was shown to me by Mr. Lawton, and I don't know of my own knowledge that it was the head of the body found in the barn. A knife would have inflicted the wound on the heart. Re-examined.—The wound was broader at that part of the ribs adjoining the sternum. Mr. Lawton, the surgeon, recalled.—The head I showed to Mr. Nairn was that belonging to the body found in the Red Barn. I assisted in removing the body from its grave in the barn, and took off the bead myself. I gave it to Balem the same after noon; a day or two afterwards be returned it. It was the same head as the one I took from the 'lndy. TRIAL OF W. CORDER, AND CONVICTION. BURY ST. EDMUND'S, FRIDAY, AUG. 8. SECOND DAY. The arrangements of this morning, for the admis sion of the public, were very well managed, and the active interposition of the governor of the prison (Mr. Orridge) had the best effect in keeping the officers of the High Sheriff in their proper places, and preserving the avenues of the Court from the pressure of that vast assemblage which yesterday poured in when the doors were opened, with a force so tremendous as to risk the limbs of those who were not sufficiently athletic for active personal re sistance. We understand that the Lord Chief Baron, who was himself carried off his legs in endea- vouring to pass from his carriage to the door of the Shire Hall, has disavowed having given any such directions as were imputed to him yesterday, and which necessarily led to a scene of confusion and up roar exceeding any thing hitherto observed in trials of this nature. At all events, every reasonable ac commodation was this day afforded the public; 'and the consequence was, a befitting regularity in con ducting the proceedings of the Court, and the pre sence of a number of ladies, whose curiosity (yester day disappointed) was this day gratified by hearing the close of the trial. Balem re-called.—The head which Mr. Lawton delivered to me was the same which I returned to him. Henry Robert Chaplin, examined by Mr. KELLY. have been practising as a surgeon for four years. I saw the disinterred body in company with Mr. Nairn. I found the 'chest in good preservation. There was a wound in the right ventricle, which was first discovered. That wound appeared to be a re cently inflicted wound. I afterwards found another wound on the heart, but whether of recent infliction or not I cannot tell from its appearance. I found a transverse wound situate between the sth and 6th ribs, which appeared to have been inflicted by a weapon which had a broad back and a sharp edge. I did not see the sword fitted with it. The wound in the heart appeared to be a continuation of that between the ribs. The wound in the heart might have been inflicted in stripping the pericardium from the heart; but if the wound be a continuation of that between the ribs, it could not have been inflicted in stripping the pericardium from the heart. This is deemed a mortal wound ; but whether it would have produced death or not, Ido not know. I inspected the head in the possession and presence of Mr. Law ton. A bullet appeared to have traversed it. I cannot say if it entered by the orbit or made its exit from it. It could not have been produced by de composition. I should think it would not have been a mortal wound with certainty. There was also a thrust in the eye, which was inflicted by a sharp instrument with a broad back, and might have been the same which inflicted that on the heart. At a quarter before nine o'clock, Corder was put to the bar. He was dressed the same as yesterday. On inquiry, it i 3 understood his age is not 40, but about 30 or 32. He rose early in the prison, and was, during the whole of the morning before he was brought to Court, engaged in introducing some al terations in his written defence, which were suggested to him late last night by his Counsel. His manner was collected, his complexion fresh, and he looked around him at times with seeming cheerfulness. He was not, howeyer, so entirely at his ease as he ap peared to be early on the previous day ; his head was not so erect, and he repeatedly heaved deep sighs. Immediately on being put to the bar, he put on his spectacles, folded his arras, and displayed an oscillating and swinging motion of his body, while he leaned back against the pillar of the dock. He hung down his head frequently during the exami nation of the witnesses. During the re-examination of Mr. Lawton, the surgeon, this morning, who produced the skilll of the deceased, which was handed from the counsel to the jury, and exhibited so as to be observable in its frac tured condition to the whole Court, the prisoner, who had just taken off his spectacles, replaced them and beheld attentively this painful spectacle—he in clined his body forward so as to command a full view of the skull; but as if the effort to sustain this atti tude, and evince this expression, had become too great for his nerves, he suddenly flung his back against the pillar, hastily drew off his spectacles, and evidently laboured under' the strongest emotion. • In minutes, however, he rallied, replaced his Classes, took out his pocket-book, and quickly wrote 3memorandum to his leading counsel Mr. Broderick, who at once wrote a reply, which the prisoner read with close attention, and on the signification of a movement from the Learned Counsel tore it into the smallest fragments. His solicitor, at the same time, went to the front of the dock, and had a long con sultation with him. Cross-examined—The wound on the sphenoidal sinus might have been inflicted by a sharp-pointed instrument. It was about the eighth part of an inch. If the wound in the heart had been inflicted on a living subject, it would have occasioned a great effusion of blood, unless syncope instantly took place. From the shock given to the system, there might have been no effusion of blood. It is impos sible to say whether the bullet made its entry into, or its exit from, the eye. Mr. Lawton,' recalled, produced the head ; and with the sword and the head explained to the Jury the nature of the wound on the sphenoidal sinus, and the reasons for supposing it to have been in flicted by the sword. It appeared that the sword entered by the sphenoidal sinus, traversed the mouth at the back part of the nose, and made its exit by the right eye. The sword, being applied to the supposed course of the instrument, was found to agree with the conjectured progress of the sword causing the wound. Being applied to the other eye, it was found to be impracticable to trace any open ing from thence into the sphenoidal sinus. Mr. Lawton re-examined—There is a tooth out on each side of the upper jaw, and one out of the lower jaw. One of the upper jaw teeth had appa rently dropped out; the other, and the lower tooth must, from their cavities, have been out for a length of time. An nine o'clock precisely, the LORD CHIEF BARON took his seat, and hoped the jury had been as comfortably situated last night as was practi cable. The jury replied in the affirmative, and after their names were called over, the examination of witnesses was resumed. John Charles Nairn, examined by Mr. ANPREW.i. —I have been a surgeon upwards of a year, and in the profession upwards of 12 years. On the 19th last May, I attended with Mr. Chaplin at Polstead : Balem, the constable, was present. lie disinterred a body in my presence. I examined the cavities of the chest of the body so disinterred. Mr. BRODERICK wished the identity of the body to be proved before the witness was examined re specting it. Balem was then called—l am parish clerk of Pol stead, and screwed down the body found in the Red Barn into the coffin. The same coffin was afterwards disinterred by witness, and contained the same body. Cross-examined—l was not present when the body was buried, but am sure it was the same body. Mr. Nairn re-called—l found the internal parts of the chest in perfect preservation; so much so, that the slightest injury penetrating into it might have been observed. The heart was lying divested of its developing membrane. I discovered a large wound in the back part of the right ventricle. I could not tell if it appeared to be a recent wound. I formed an opinion on it on my first examination, but I sub sequently examined it, and I then formed an opinion that it was a recent wound. I detached the heart from its connexion with the blood-vessels. I next examined the external surface of the ribs, and in the space between the fifth and sixth ribs, I discovered a wound, about three-quarters of an inch broad. My opinion was, that it was a wound of long duration, and not a recent one. I again examined the heart when I returned home, and discovered a slight wound, about two inches from the apex, correspond ing with the external wound between the ribs. It appeared to have been inflicted by some sharp in strument. (Lee, the officer, produced the sword.) This sword is the most likely instrument to have inflicted such a wound. Supposing this wound to have been inflicted on a living body, it would, in my opinion, most certainly have produced death. I have since inspected the head of the disinterred body. I have applied this sword to the wound between the ribs, and it corresponds with the wound to the ex tent of two or three inches. There are on the sword some marks of discoloration, about the extent of two or three inches. I examined the wound in the heart, having this sword with me ; it might cer tainly have been made by this sword. On examin ing the head, I traced the progress of a ball entering into the interior and back part of the upper left jaw, and proceeding to the internal angle of the right eye. From the size of the opening, I should conclude it to have been a small pistol ball. This wound might have caused death, but the person might have sur vived it. I also found a fissure opening into the sphenoidal sinus, corresponding with the vertebrm. It was an opening produced by some sharp-pointed instrument; any sharp-pointed instrument would have produced it. It extended about a quarter of an inch into the sphenoidal sinus. I am not aware of any other wound on the head. The wound in the sphenoidal sinus might have occasioned death. The sword corresponds with It. Cross-examined by Mr. BRODERICK.-- This was on the 19th of May, about a month after the findi n g of the b o d y i n the barn. The disinterment of the body, exposure to the air, and lying in the ground, in another month would not have caused, in such a body, much additional decomposition. I found the heart divested of the pericardium. Looking merely at the heart, and knowing nothing of the circum stances I have heard si nce , I s h ould say, that the wound in the right ventricle of the heart was a re cent one: I should have been of opinion, inde pendent of any thing but the inspection of the heart itself, that one was a recent, and the other a more ancient one, because the smaller wound of the two Mr. Matthews recalled—Maria Martin had an en largement on the centre front, which had the ap pearance of a wen. Mrs. Martin, the mother, recalled. (Looks at the articles of dress found on the body taken from the Red Barn.) These are Maria's combs : I saw her with them on her head on the 18th of last May twelvemonths. These are the ear-rings she had in her ears at the same time : they are both of them hers. This is the handkerchief (a silk one) she had round her neck the same day : this, also (the green one), was one she had on at the same time ; this was next her throat, and the silk one over it.— This is a piece of a Leghorn hat she had on a Leghorn hat when I saw her last, trimmed with black riband like this, the edges of which are the same. These are the shoes she had on. This is the ashen busk in her stays. This is part of a pair of stays. This is the sleeve of a chemise, the make of which is the same as that she had on on the 18th of May, 1827, when she went to the Red Barn.— [This witness was so overpowered, either by her feelings, by the effluvia of the rags, or by the heat of the Court, that she was with difficulty preserved from fainting by the restoratives given her at the close of her examination. Lee, the officer, produced the velvet bag. The CHIEF BARON—I don't think it is suffi ciently traced to come from any place proved to be long to the prisoner. Mr. ANDREWS—The prisoner was apprehended in the house in which his sword was, and in which was a desk, which opened by a key he himself gave to the officer; and in the same room was found this bag. The CHIEF BARON—I think you had better not press it. Anne Martin, the sister of Maria, recalled—This green handkerchief is the same that my sister went away with. This silk handkerchief she also had on at the same time. These are the same shoes. This is part of the Leghorn bonnet, trimmed with black riband. This is a piece of the bonnet she had in the bag when she went out. She had a man's hat on her head. These are like the combs she had in her hair at the same time. She had on a pair of ear rings, and these are such ones as my sister went away with in her ears. _ ANDREws stated to the Court that there was found in the desk, opened with the key given by the prisoner to Lee, letters directed to Corder, and also a passport for France for Corder. The CHliq , BARON thought it safer not to re ceive evidence of this, especially as, in a case of this nature, all doubtful points ought, from the im portance of this trial to the prisoner, to be decided in his favour. --- The prisoner here bowed his gratitude to his Lordship. _ Martin, the father, recalled—The soil in the barn is a dryish, little gravelly, and stogy soil. Mrs. Martin re-called, proved that her daughter wore white narrow tape garters. Mr. Matthews proved that Maria Martin was able to write very well. This was the case on the part of the prosecution. The prisoner, being called on for his defence, ad vanced to the front of the bar, took out some papers, and read nearly as follows with a very tremulous voice : " I am informed that, by the law of England, the Counsel for a prisoner is not allowed to address the Jury, though the Counsel for the Crown is allowed that privilege. While I deplore, as muck as any hu man being can, the fatal event which Iv; caused this PRICE 71). inquiry, let me entreat you to dismiss from your minds the publications of the public press from the time of its first promulgation to this hour ; let me en treat you, letme dissuade you, if I can, from being reNsysh_Licha in fluencedhave for by the months issued and edfro d m isgu th st e ing pi d th e l t ie ail p s powerful engine for fixing the'opinions of large classes of the community, but which is too often, I fear, though unintentionally, the cause of affixing slander upon innocence. I have been described as a mon ster, who, while meditating becoming the husband of this girl, to whom I was evincing an affectionate attachment, was actually premeditating and plotting the perpetration of this horrid crime. With such misrepresentations, it was natural, perhaps, to expect that an unfavourable impression should have been created against me, and the more so when the accusation went beyond the presten case, and was connected with other crimes well calculated to ex cite prejudice against me. It is natural you should come to this trial with feelings of prejudice ; but as you expect peace and serenity of mind at home, I implore you to banish from your minds all the hor rible accusations which have been promulgated, and give your verdict on the evidence alone. Consider, gentlemen, that the attorney for the prosecution is also the coroner before whom the inquest was taken; and his conduct, in refusing my being present at the inquest, is conduct which you cannot approve. Since my committal, the coroner has been again at Polstead—has got up additional evidence. My so licitor pressed for a copy of the depositions, which were refused. In consequence of these unjust pro ceedings, I never heard one of the witnesses exa mined, and cannot, therefore, have conic prepared as I ought to be. The coroner thus acting in his double eapacity was likely enough, when meditating to act as attorney for the prosecution, to have enter tained impressions inconsistent for the fit discharge of his inquisitorial inquiry : and again, as attorney for the prosecution, he was liable to be diverted from the fulfilment of his duties as coroner ; so that I was in this respect, on the threshold of inquiry, exposed to disadvantages from which I ought to have been saved. This, however, was not all : my solicitor remonstrated; he was not only refused copies of the depositions, but the attorney for the prosecution, without any notice to me, has visited Polstead, and taken examinations upon oath of the different witnesses, and come to this trial prepared with evidence taken behind my back, and pruned down to suit the exaggerations of this case. f there fore am brought to be tried for my life without any fair knowledge of the evidence against me. In con sequence of this unjust proceeding on the part of the• coroner, how can I controvert, as I might have done were I allowed to hear the witnesses, equivocal facts and highly coloured statements, of which I am, for the first informed when brought to trial for my life? Were witnesses to be privately exa mined, and their evidence clandestinely obtained? It has been well observed that truth is sometimes stronger than fiction. Never was this assertion better exemplified than in this hapless instance. In a - few short months I have been deprived of all my brothers, and my father recently before that period. I have heard the evidence, and am free to say that, unexplained, it may cause great sus picion; but you will allow me to . explain it. —Proceeding, my Lord and gentlemen, to the real facts of this case, I admit that there is evi dence calculated to excite suspicion,—but these facts are capable of explanation; and convinced as I am of my entire innocence, I have to entreat you to listen to my true and simple detail of the real facts of the death of this unfortunate woman. I was myself so stupified and overwhelmed with the strange and disastrous circumstance, and on that account so un happily driven to the necessity of immediate deci sion, that I acted with fear instead of judgment, and I did that which any innocent man might have done under such unhappy circumstances. I concealed the appalling occurrence, and was, as is the misfor tune of inch errors, subsequently drivel' to sustain ( i 4-, . ,—. 0... ,A," - ., ,rI, • 1. , •-. • .., , ~,, c- • , - 1 4 •', 4 ; I ' •,.• . actions, because 'they we re guilti r s 4 sup pl ied both. Had I intendedito Perpetrate 'stY dreadful a crime, Would I have kept about me some of the articles which were known to be Maria's ? HeJi I tought her life, could I have acted in such a marn:er ? Had I, 1 would have chosen anothe r time and place. Look at my conduct since. Did I run away ? No T. I lived, months and months, with my mother. I left Polstead in conseqtence of my family a ffli c ti ons . I went to the Isle of Wight. It is said that the pass port was obtained to enable me to leave England at any time. No, it was to enable m e t o ,vi s it some friends of my wife's in Paris. Should I have kept her property, had I any thing to fear from their de tection ? In December last, I advertised in the Times Newspaper the sale of my house, and gave my nam e and address at full length. Did this look like concealment? You will consider any man innocent until his guilt is fully proved. It now rests with you to restore me to society, or to an ignominious death. To the former I feel lam entitled—acainst tile latter I appeal to your justice and humanity. I have nothing more to add, but that I leave my life in your hands, aware that you will give me the hu mane benefit of the law in cases of doubt, and that your Lordship will take a compasionate view of the melancholy situation in which my misfortunes have placed me." The above was the substanc e o f t h e pr i soner ' s a la as delivered, o fvoice, m i a mt i tn y parts, i n a f ee bl e n under considerable emotion. It is clear, from the pronunciati on o f ;par ticular words, that the prisoner is not a man o f par ticular education. He trembled a good deal, b id. a dd d re tr s e s n . a y s not more than a nervous man would• manifest in moment of excitement., He read the address from a copy-boob:, and, whether from the composition not bein g his own, or his being near-sighted, he stain mered over several words, - and infringed the order of the sentences. He was heard with the - utmost silence and attesution by the Court and the Jut•}-, and he occasionally drew his- eyes from the book and fixed them on the jury -box, as if to ascertain the impression he had made. Towards the close of his address his voice faltered, so as in particular pas sages to be nearly inaudible. His address, which was delivered between eleven and twelve o'clock, occupied the Court about twenty-five minutes. WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENCE. William Goodwin—l live in Plough-lane, Sud bury. The prisoner, in the spring of last year, came to take apartments at my house. Maria Mar tin afterwards came and lay in there. They were there between two and three months. She was de livered of a child there. The prisoner came oneo or twice tt week to see her, as well after as before her confinement.

The prisoner frequently came to visit 'tier; he never missed coming once a week. He treated her always with kindness ; and they appeared very much attached to each other. She was generally in very bad spirits. I heard her say she went for the pistols to the shop where they were. Cross-examined—She went for them alone to Mr. Harcourt's.
