THE ROEHAMPTON MURDER. TRIAL OF GOOD AT THE OLD BAILEY. The morbid feeling of sympathy whieh the ladies and gentle men of England entertain towards the perpetrators of horrid crimes, and which increases in proportion to the magnitude of the offence, was manisfested yesterday in a most especial and striking manner, by the appearance which the Court, the hall, aid the precincts of the Old Bailey presented. Admission to the body of the Court was only to be obtained by tickets from the Sheriffs, and to the gallery by the payment of half a guinea, yet was the Court crowded to excess, every hole, every corner, was occupied, from the Ushers' three-cornered seats to the places on the bench, usually occupied 1)7 the Judges. At eight o'clock the doors were thrown open, and almost Mame-. diately afterwards tile Cunt was filled with visitors, all of whom appeared to be of the middle or upper classes of life. 'Chore were a great many ladies in the Court—young ladies, creatures of such delicate mould, that we are sure the sight of a spider would frighten them into tits, and a frog would be positive death ; yet would they find pleasure in listening to the details of a most barbarous murder, and in looking at a man who has been already con victed in the public mind as being guilty of a crime the most revolting to human nature, and the mere recital of which is enough, to chill the .warm blood fl swing in our veins. We never saw; a Court so full of barristers, or at any rate of per sons beating the appearance of barristers—who they were it is hard to tell—but we are given to understand that wigs and gowns mere in great requisition at Obbard's, Blake's, and the various other emporia of fancy dresses. So much for the in terior •of the Court; the exterior presented a scene of great animat ion ; the street in which the Old Bailey is situate was a perfecls sea of human beings. A foreigner not conscious of the oceasioan which called them together, would imagine that the Peopl e were celebrating some Saint's day, or grand gala. At ten o'clock, Lord Denman, with Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Coltman, took their seats on the bench, and by lie side of their Lordships we observed his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Chevalier Bunsen, Aldermen Sir 31. otri, T. Wood, Gibbs, Lucas, Copeland, J. Dennistoun, E sq., 31. Y., the Recorder, Sc,.!. THE HIGEII3URY MURDER. _ . . ' Thomas Cooper was first. placed a t t he bar, charged with the Jul murder of Timothy Daley. Cooper appeared very faint, ar id was accommodaed with a seat. Mr. HOLLAX, on behalf of the prisoner, made application that the trial should be delayed until next ses•iou, on the ground that there would not be sufficient time during the pre sent session to collect the materials for the prisoner's defence. If a little time were granted the friends of the prisoner hoped that they should be able to lay snch a series of facts before the Court as would altogether alter the present aspect of the pri soner's offence. Mr. BODKIN, on ;he part of the prosecution, offered no op pwition to the application, and the trial was accordingly post• pon.ed till next session. THE ROEHAMPTON MURDER. Daniel Good and Molly Good were then placed at the bar. 'Daniel was dressed in the prison dress, and Molly was very ~leatly attired, with a clean white cap, shawl, &e. Both pri •ouers leaked fresh and well, and walked to the dock with a ri,ln precise step. Daniel looked a little thinner, but on the whole we think appeared to be in a better and more healthy con dition than when he was brought up at Bow-street. 'The Attorney-General, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Waddington, anti Mr. R. Gurney conducted the prosecution on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Doane appeared for the prisoners. The indictment, which contained thirty-two counts-, having been read, the question, Are you guilty or not guilty," was put to the prisoners, to which they both answered, in a firm tone of voice, •' Not Guilty." Mr. DOA Se, who appeared on behalf of Daniel Gaod, ap plied to the Court that he might be tried separately. The ArroaNEv-GFNERAL, on the part of the Crown, had in) objection to the adoption of that course. Molly Good was then removed from the bar, and the trial of Damel Good proceeded—all the witnesses for the prosecu. tien . except the medical gentlemen, being ordereciput of Court. The Arroae EY -GEN F.lt Al. then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of the prosecution. It. was his duty to state to hem the circumstances under which the prisoner at the bar was charged with the crime of murder. Before entering into a short detail of these events, which had given rise to the pre sent charge, he felt. that it would be almost unnecessary for bias to beg of the Jury to dismiss altogether front their minds, as tar as they could, every thing which they might have heard out of Court with respect to the transactions which were the subject of inquiry now before them. Whatever they might have heard stated or have read elsewhere, with respect to the facts or to any op:nions expressedon the subject, it was their duty to dismis3 from their :Muds ; to proceed only upon the evidence that would be brought before them in the course of the inquiry, and to receive the law from the Learned fudge who preoded. On the 6th of April last, on a Wednesday, a person of the name of Collingborne directed a policeman of the name of Gardiner to go, he be lieved, to Wandswo.th, and apprehend the prisoner on a charge of stealing some articles of wearing apparel. The policeman went to the family house, where the prisoner had lived as coachman for upwards of two years. Mr. Shiel, the master of ' the prisoner, occupied premises of great respectability at. Putney, and there the policeman went expecting to meet with the prisoner. Ac expected, the prisoner at the bar presented himself, and :on inquiry being made, and when he was toll of the accusation that had been made against him by Mr. Col lingborne, he willingly at once offered to go to Wandsworth, where Mr. Collingborne lived. This the policeman objected to, and insisted upon searching the premises. He searched the coach-house and other places, but not finding the articles missed there, lie proceeded to search the stable. Upon his attempting to do so there appeared some reluctance on the part of the pri soner to permit it. The policeman, however, insisted upo discharging his duty ; the prisoner offering to go to Wandsworth and pay for the articles, but this the policeman refused to ac cede to. The premises in question were at some distance from the house—about 300 yards. Putney Park-lane was not a great distance from Wandsworth, and the house of Mr. Shieils occupied a considerable space of ground, and as he had before stated, the stables were about 300 yards from the house. There was a back gate, by which any one might pass to the gardener's house and to the stables, and there was a larger pate, which was a public entrance. While the policeman was continuing his search in the stables, he observed the prisoner at the bar go to one of the stalls and move some hay. The po liceman immediately proceeded to the stall and told the prisoner that he did not require his assistance in making the search. The policeman turned the straw over to see if he could find the article which had been stolen. The prisoner went towards the dour, and, upon an examination being made of the appearance of something, and before it could be ascertained what it was, the prisoner rushed out, closed the door behind him, and locked it on the outside. There were at this time three or four persons in the stable. At first there was an at tempt made to open the dour, but finding it to be ineffectual they returned to the stall, and upon close examination they found the trunk of a human being, with the head and part of the neck cut off, the arms and legs also cut off, the aline cut off at the shoulder and the legs at the thigh ; and upon further inspection it was found to be the mutilated remains of a female, all the intestines having been extracted. The rest of the premises were then searched, and in the harness-room a register stove was discovered with a considerable quantity of fuel, ready prepared for lighting a fire, and in the ashes of the grate were found the remains of a human skull, which had been ex posed to considerable heat. An axe was also found, with marks f blood upon the handle ; and in a drawer a knife, which, ac cording to the description of one of the witnesses, was almost saturated with blood. Now it was a most important circum stance in the present case that the Jury should be made ac quainted with the fact, that the stable in which the mutilated remains were found was kept locket by the prisoner at the bar, as well as the harness-room ; he and lie alone, had the sole control of the premises in which the body was found. The persons locked in the stable by the prisoner, after same diffi culty, succeeded in opening the dour. The prisoner at the bar, however, bad fled in the mean time, and the search after him proved unsuccessful. Upon the facts and circumstances , v:nich had now been stated, and as to the truth in proof of which there could be no doubt, very grave and serious questions would arise as to how far they affected the prisoner at the bar. The first question would be whether the remains of the unfortunate person were the remains of the individual who had been murdered. Another question of great importance would be, who was the person murdered? The third question would be, by whom was the crime committed—whether or not it was committed by the prisoner at the bar? And the fourth question would be, by what means the crime ram committed ? He would now call the at- tention of the Jury to a short account of the history of Jane Jones, who, in the different counts of the indictment was said to be the person on whom the violence had been committed. Jane Good, or Jane Jones, had, fur a period of three years, or three years and a half, lodged in South- Street. The house at which she resided was kept by a person named Brown. Jane Good maintained herself by. washing ; she lived in the lower part of the premises. At first she had both kitchens, but subsequently only one. It appeared that the prisoner at the bar had been acquainted with her for some time. At first she passed by the name of Jane Jones, but afterwards she took the name of Good, and was called Jane Good, or Mrs. Good. Shortly after this, the prisoner at the bar brought a boy, about 7 or 8 years old, to live with her, who called her mother; and the prisoner spoke of her as his wife. Until within the course of the last two years, the prisoner was was in the habit of going to Jane Good every day. but latterly he only went once or twice a week. Jane Good during the whole period had never been absent from home a single night but one, and that was on Easter Sunday. She had the care of the boy, and the prisoner paid the rent to Mrs. ,Brown. It appeared that smile time before Sunday, the 3d of April, the Sunday before the remains were found, the prisoner at the bar represented to Mrs. Brown that Mrs. Good was shout to take a place in the country, and on the Sunday Jane G.sod herself made arrangements fur the boy' s s l ee pi ng else wh ere for the night, but it was fur the night only, w h i m she requested a 'neighbour, who somewhat reluctantly affoirded the accommodation, to permit the boy to remain there that night. She stated th a t it was b ut f or one night only, as she would return at nine o'clock on the Monday morning. She never did return, and she never since has been seen alive. When she went out, she was observed by Mrs. Brown, her dress was noticed by her, and he (the Attorney-General) be lieved that every part of that dress —certainly the greater part of it—would be distinctly traced by undoubted testimony to the possession of the prisoner at the bar. Some parte had,been disposed of, it was hardly known how, but the greater portion of it could be traced to hi s possession, especially the bonnet, the shawl, the gown, th e pe t t i coat, and even the laced hoots. The keys of the lodging, which Jane Good was in the habit of carrying about with her, together with the guard, were found either in the stable or the harness room. Some of these articles were given by the prisoner to a woman of the name of Butcher, who would be called before them. To that individual he gave the new bonnet and other articles, giving an account of the mode in which he became possessed of them—which it would be better perhaps that the Jury should hear from the witness herself. After Jane Good left her lodgings in South-street, she some where or other met the prisoner at the bar between the Red Lion and the Suspen sion-bridge at Hammersmith. At a quarter before four they were seen by one witness, and at half-past six they were seen by another going towards Putney Park-lane. They left the house of a person named Roy, where they had some beer. They were again seen between the spot and the stable of Mr. Shie!, and from that time nothing more was seen of Jane Good until the remains were found. On Monday it appeared that the pri soner at the bar went to tlke lodging, took away the boy, and that he also hatipawned some of the articles of wearing apparel I which Jane Good had not taken away with her. On the Tues day a considerable smoke and a strong smell was observed uoming from the chimney of the harness room of Mr. Shiel The prisoner was asked the reason ' - he was questioned as to whether he had been; singi ng the horses; but the only reason he assigned fOr• it was that he had been toasting some cheese. On the Wednesday it would be proved that the prisoner went out with the pones-chaise, and t oo k with him the bonnet and wearing apparel which he gave to the woman named Butcher, and upon his coming back he called at Mr. Collineborne's at Wandsworth, took away certain articles of wearing apparel which it had since been discovered he pawned soon after he purloined them. It would also be shown that after he locked the policeman and other parties in the stable that he went to the lodging occupied by Jane Good, that h e got up early on the morning of 'Thursday and went away about half -east five o'clock, that he took several things with hi m 1 which he left at the Spotted Dog in the Strand, He (the Attorney-General) believed that it could be distinetl- ; proved that he ka4 taken everything away from the lodgings of Jane Good, which belonged to her, with the exception of the mangle, and that that was left there in order that the woman Butcher might have it. The evidence would trace him day by day, almost up to the moment of his apprehension. At the Spotted Dog he gave his name as Staunton, and at other places he had procured disguises ; he obtained a hod and other things, and ultimately succeeded in getting a situation near Tonbridge as a bricklayer's labourer. The extraordinary circumstances which had excited so much public attention had very naturally induced suspicion against any stranger, and the result of that suspicion seas, the identification of the prisoner at the bar by one who knew him. He was taken into custody near Ton bridge, was brought to London, and was now called upon to answer the dreadful charge which was made against him. With respect to the muthated remains which had been dis covered, it would be found among the medical men examined there was no difference in opinion as to certain facts. Upon examination it appeared to be an undoubted fact that the mutilated trunk must, within a few days, have belonged to a person, not only enjoying life but in perfect health. there was no trace of disease whatever, but there was a remarkable deficiency of blood in every part; the lungs were collapsed, the heart was healthy, but the entrails were taken out. Still it was manifest that the remains were those of an individual who had not died by natural means. The chest presented a healthy appearance, and all the medical men were agreed in opinion that death had been caused, not by apoplexy, but by violence, accompanied with considerable effusion of blood. Upon the premises were found two instruments which might have been used in the commission of the horrid deed; there was an axe, and a knife, both of which it would be shown were covered with tloiad. Now, whether the un fortunate person whose remains hail been found %vas Jane Good it would be an important matter for the Jury to try. It was most remarkable, that considering the account of her going away, that she took nothing with her of any sort or kind but the clothes she had on her, and that every thing she had left behind was taken possession of by the prisoner, and either sold, pawned, or given away by him. There was some evidence of the person being recognhed as that of Jane Good by a police man, who examined the remains, and discovered a mole, ethic(' was known to be on the person of Jane Good. With respect to the share the prisoner had in the murder it would be in evi dence before the Jury that the premises, when all these things took place, were exclusively under the control of the prisoner. He permitted no one to light the fire in the harness-room, or to do anything in the stable. Not one of the family had access to the stable but himself. Those circumstances, coispleci with the flight of the prisoner, and his conduct afterwards, must be taken into consideration, when the question was what share the prisoner had in the murder. Another point for the Jury to determine was the way in which the crime was committed. The different counts in the indictment were framed in order to meet every means by which the crime assumed could be committed. He felt himself bound, however, to call the attention of the Jury to that which, under the circumstances, appeared to him the most probable and reasonable cause of death. The state of the body excluded the idea of death by disease ; it excluded the idea of death by poison; and the remaining question therefore was, in what way was it effected. According to the statement of the medical men, death had taken place before the mutilation commenced, an/ it would there fore be the duty of the Jury, in the exercise of their deli berate judgment, to say what was the cause of death. He was desirous of placing before them all the circumstances con nected with the case, in order to enable them to discharge faithfully and effectively the grave duty which had devolved upon them. Upon those circumstances he asked the unbiassed exercise of their deliiierate opinions ; but he thought himself bound, in the discharge of the important duty which had been cast upon him, not to shrink from calling their attention to those parts of the case which bore on the question they had to decide. In the course of the narrative that he had given, he had adopted that course, feeling that the Jury had a most serious and important duty to discharge as between the public anti the prisoner at the bar. He had stated to them, not in detail, but rather with a view to give them a general notion of the scope of the case, and the circum stances connected with the departure of this young woman, her disappearance on Sunday, and the discovery of her re mains. If, upon the whole of those circumstances, the jury should be satisfied that the prisoner at the bar was so much mixed up with those deplorable events, that little or no doubt could be left on the mind of the jury as to the result to which any reasonable , party would come, however painful it might be, it would be their bounden duty to come to the con clusion which, exercising a calm and deliberate judgment, keeping their attention fixed upon the peculiar circumstances of the case, those which were calculated to justify a doubt of the innocence of the prisoner, and those which were calculated to effect any explanation of his conduct ; above all, those calculated directly, more than doubts and diffi culties, which he is called upon solemnly and seriously to deny, being placed at the bar under the dreadful charge of murder. If, after hearing all these things—if, after considering the state ments of the witnesses, there remained any reasonable doubts on the minds of the Jury as to the fate of the unfortunate wo man, and as to her being the person thus found, or as to her being suddenly deprived of life by the crime of murder, and if there should be any reasonable doubt as to the participation of the prisoner in that crime, then they would give the priso ner the benefit of that doubt ; but it on the other hand they were satisfied that the case was clearly brought home to the prisoner at the bar, however painful it might be, they were bound in the discharge of their duty, and in obedience to the oath they had taken, to deliver their judgment as a record of their opinion, whatever the consequences might be to the prisoner at the bar. Police-constable Gardiner, V 279, examined by Mr. Anot,- PHUS—In consequence of somethin g s , that had been stated to me I went to Mr. Shiells' house in Putney Park-lane, in the parish of Putney. When I event there I rang the bell ; the prisoner at the bar opened the door. I was accompanied by two lads named Speed and Dag - tall. One of the lads asked if the coachman was at home. The prisoner replied, "I am the coachman." I then stepped up to him, and told him I had come to take him into custody on the charge of stealing a pair of black trousers from Mr. Collingborne. The prisoner said " Yes, I bought a pair of breeches, and did not pay for them," and pulling out his purse, he said he would pay for them. I said that was not the charge I had come upon, and the prisoner said, " Very well; I'll go with you to Wandsworth and settle with Mr. Collingborne." I asked if he would lot me examine the chaise and stable previous to doing that, and he consented. The two lads and I then entered the yard. I saw the prisoner's child running about the yard. I examined the puny chaise, and told Speed to stand by the prisoner whilst I made the search. I then proceeded to search the harness room but saw nothing; whilst searching the chaise the prisoner said, "We will go to Wandsworth now and settle it." At that moment Houghton came in, and asked what was the matter. I explained to him. The prisoner wanted to go to Wands worth, I said I would not go till I had searched the stable. 1, the two lads, prisoner, his child, and Houghton, then went into the stable. I desired Speed to stand by the prisoner. I searched the first and second stalls o f the stable, but found nothing. I then commenced to search the corn-bins, and the prisoner again expressed his desire to go to Wandsworth to have it set tled. I said I would not go till I had made a more diligent search. Prisoner then went to the fourth stall, and I saw him move some hay from one side to the other. I went to him and told him to go and standby Speed, saying that I did not require any of his assistance. 1 then removed the hay which he had displaced; it was one truss; and I searched that place. I searched two trusses and some loose hay, when I discovered something which appeared to me to be a goose. I called out, " What is this ? here's a goose ;" at that moment I heard the stable-door shut, and en looking round I saw that the prisoner was gone. I ran to the door and tried to open it, but I found it was fastened on the outside. Speed took a three .pronged fork and began to prize the door ; I assisted him at first, but did not open the door, so I went back to ascertain what it was that I had found. The two lads and Houghton followed me down to the stall. I removed the re. mainder of the hay, and found the trunk of a female ; it was lying on its belly ; Speed turned it over ; the arms were cut off at the shoulders, the legs at the thighs, the head was severed at the lower part of the neck, and the abdomen was cot open and the entrails taken out. I then went to the door and forced it. In an hour and a half I pursued the search in the same stall. I searched the third stall with another constable, and removed several trusses of straw, when I found a mattress and two blankets rolled up together. I unfolded the mattress and dis covered a large stain as of urine upon it. I saw some blood on the ground near to where the body was lying. I lett the mat tress, tic., in charge of another constable. Cross-examined by Mr. DOA NE—Speed went with me from Wandworth; I had known him befoi e; he is here to-day. Dagnall was the servant of Mr. Collingborne. Ha is here. It was about half-past nine when I arrived at the stable, and I consequently examined it by the light of my lantern. In the fourth stall I dis covered what appeared to be blood. I did not make any fur ther inquiry to ascertain whether it was blood or no. I did not leave the stable from the time of first entering until about one o'clock next morning, and I then left there Sergeant Palmer and police-constable Tye. By the COURT—I can't exactly say what quantity of blood there was ; it was not very much ; about eight or ten inches from where the body was lying, and not exactly under the body. There was some loose hay in the stall, but it had not the appearance of animals having been there. Robert Speed, exarninedby Mr. WADDINGTON—I live at Wandsworth. On the 6th of April last I went with the last witness to Putney, Park-lane. We went first to the House and then to the stable. On ringing the bell the prisoner opened the gate, and the daughter of Houghton also came up. The policeman said he had come about some black trousers; the prisoner said he had no black trousers. We all afterwards went into the stable, the prisoner leading the way. He opened the stable-door with a key, which he took from his pocket. I kept near the prisoner when we got inside, and Gardiner commenced searching the stable. I saw the prisoner more some hay in thethird stall, and Gardiner told him to stand back ; the prisoner then did stand back near to me, which was About two yards from the place where Gardiner was searching. Gardiner soon afterwards called out, " What is this ?" I stepped over to see what it was, and the prisoner rushed to the door of the stable, and ran out, and I heard the door locked imme diately afterwards. By the Cou R.T..4 afterwards broke the door open, but the key was not in it then. Thomas Houghton, examined by Mr. R. GURNEY—On the 6th April last, I was gardener to Mr. Shiells. On that evening I went into the stable, where I found the prisoner, the police man, Speed, and Dagnall. The harness-room was in the care of the prisoner, and no one else had access to it. The prisoner kept the key cf the stable, and lighted the fire in the harness room. On the morning of the sth, about six o'clock, I ob served a smoke issuing from the harness-room; it was quite a usual thing to have a fire in the harness-room at that time of the morning. On Wednesday evening, the stove was laid with a great quantity of wood and coal, ready for lighting ; there was three times as much fuel as would be necessary for a common fire. Cross-examined—l had not been in the harness-room before for some time, not having been good friends with him. I had looked into the harness-room through one of the windows which looked into the kitchen-garden. I was in the garden about six on the morning of the sth, and was in the habit of being there every day at that time. I worked till six o'clock in the evening. I sleep in a cottage which is about fifty or sixty yards from the stable. I have a wife, daughter, and son living with me in this cottage; my son has slept for some time p - st over the stable. The cottage is in tine range of buildings with the stable, cow-house, &c., there is no back between them, hut you cannot pass from one to the other without going into the street. Next to my cottage. is the cow-house, then the tool house, and then came the stable, where my son sleeps. I ge nerally go to bed about ten o'clo,k in the evening. On the Sunday previous to the discovery of the body I wc;ht to bed about ten. My son assisted me as gardener. I have seen the stalls open, but the prisoner never left the door unlocked when he was not there himself. There is a door close to the harness room which leads up stairs to the room where my son sleeps. which is over the back harness-room. I had two other men and a boy employed under me, but none of them s l ept on the pre mises. It is necessary to light a fire in the harness -room in wet weather to keep the harness dry. By the COT.; RT --My son sleeps over the back harness-room. It was in the front harness-room that I saw the wood laid for a fire. There is a communication between the stables and the harness-room. There was no curtain to either of the windows in the harness-room ; the lower panes of the windows looking into the garden were of ground glass, so that a person of ordi nary height could not see into the room. Samuel Smith Dagnall examined by the ATTORNEY- GENE. Rif,—.4 am in the service of Mr. Collingbornc, who is a pawn broker at Wandsworth. On Wednesday night I was at Mr. Shiells'. I went to the stable. I remember Gardiner saying, " Here's agoose." The prisoner then went out of the stable. I was holding Gardiner's lamp at the time. I tried to get out, but could not then; the door was locked. Samuel Palmer, police-sergeant, S 6, examined by the Ai. URN'ET•GESERAL—Ott the night of the 6th April last I was on duty in Putney, about a mile from M. Shiells' stables. I went to those stables that night about eleven o'clock, where I saw the remains of a human body. Policeman Gardiner, Houghton, his son, and Speed were there then. I made a search, commencing with the stable, and in one of the stalls I found a mattress and two blankets. In the fire-place of the harness room I found some small particles of calcined bone. There are two windows in this room, one looks into the stable yard and the other into the garden. The fire-place was laid with wood, coals, and straw. The bones I have spoken of I found amongst the ashes, and I now produce them ; they are in the same state now as when I found them. I also found a guard and some keys in the harness room, and I put them into my pocket, bat I afterwards lust them. The keys now produced are the same as those I found. Robert Tye examined by the Arron,NEv-GENERAL—I am the parish constable of Roehampton. On Thursday, the 7th of April I went to the stables of Mr. Shiells, and I saw there in one of the stalls the body of a woman. I found the keys before me on the premises, 1 brought them here to-day these are the keys which the last witness has just identified as those which he lost. I also found the trunk of a female body, and I buried it on the 13th of April. Police-constable Tye 199 S, examined by Mr. Anoutta UR I went to .11r. Shiells' stable on Wednesday night. I saw the body of a female. I went into the harness-room to search it, and I perceived a very bad, fulsome, sickly smell, like the rind of bacon. I then went to the Sergeant and said, " there's a very bad smell here, something must be wrong." I examined the fire-place, arid found two pieces of calcined bone in the left hand side of the furnace of the fire-place. They have been shown to a surgeon. On the 12th of April, I went to Mr. Shiells' again, and I searched the chaise; on opening the driv ing -box, a very bad smell issued from it, and I found a small piece of flesh attached to the box, on the outside, under the cushion. On this occasion I found some more bones in the furnace. Cross-examined—The small piece of flesh I found on the box was about half the size of a pea. Palmer was with me on the 6th, when I found the bones which I have produced. He found some at the same time. I showed the bones to Mr. Allen, a medical gentleman, the same night that I found them. John Busain examined by Mr. WaDDINGTO arn Inspector of the V divison of police. On the night of 6th April, about a quartar-past eleven, I went to Mr. Shiells' stables. I saw the trunk of a female, and proceeded to search the harness room, the door of which was locked. I got the key from Houghton. I found a wooden box in the room, in which I found some man's linen and some books. I searched the stable, and in the drawer of a table I found this knife produced; there appeared to be stains of blood on the haft and blade. I showed the knife to a medical gentleman tha mesa day. I then searched near the fire-place, and on the right-hand side, up against the chimney, I found this axe. The next day I examined it, and I observed what appeared to be stains of blood upon the pole of the axe, and on each side of the edge. I found this piece of a handkerchief, which appears to be marked with blood ; it W 43 hanging upon a line across the harness room. On a saddle rest, I found the followings part of a female's wearing apparel : —Two parts of a flannel petticoat, which seemed to have been torn violently asunder, a part of a calico petticoat, masked with blood, which was covered by a box coat. I also found this bottle lying under the window, it contained a few drops of what I believe to have been milk. It was on the Bth that 1 found this bottle. On the night of the 6th I searched the fire-place, and amongst the coals I found a quantity of calcined bones. Tne fire was laid ready for lighting ; I removed the fuel, and it was under that that I found the calcined bones. 1 also found a small quantity of tea in a box. On the Bth I instituted a search, and, assisted by Dr. Ridge, I found these bones produced, they were amongst the cinders, and by sifting the cinders we separated the one from the other. I found these umbrellas in the harness-room. On the same day, I examined the body, it having been previously washed, I observed on the neck, about half an inch below where her head had been taken off, a very dark small mole— I produce a board with the inscription " Mangling done here," which I received from the landlord of the house No. is, South street, Manchester-square. Cross-examined.-1 have kept the knife with great care since I first found it, and I believe it presents the same appearance as it did then. John Houghton examined by Mr. W. GURNEY—I am the son of Thomas Houghton, and on the 6th April I was in Mr. Shiells' employ. I slept in a room which was partly over the stable and partly over the harness-room. I did not go through the stable to get to my room. Good kept the key of the stable. Is was always locked. On the sth April 1 rose at half-past six. I saw the prisoner then. I perceived a smell as is of the singing of horses. I asked the prisoner what it was ? He replied that he hal been in liquor over-night, and had been toasting some cheese. I heard a cracking noise, such as is produced by a fire burning, and the prisoner said he had a fire drying the harness. I have seen a little boy with the prisoner, and the prisoner said he was his son. He told me that his (pri soner's) sister, Jane . Jones, had care of him. I have seen her with the prisoner at Putney three times; the last time was on Easter Monday. The prisoner did not then tell me who she was. It was about ten o'clock in the morning when I saw her. I did not particularly observe her dress, but fthink she wore a blue bonnet. Cross-examined—l have seen Susan Butcher at Putney also, but never any other females. lam quite sure of that. I mean to swear that I never saw any other female there with the pri soner. On Sunday and Monday nights, the 3d and 4th April, I went to bed about ten o'clock and rose the following morning about six o'clock. I was on very good terms with the prisoner. On Monday morning I was working in the kitchen-garden. fly the Cots RT—The room in which I sleep is partly over the back harness-room and the stable. It was the day time when I have seen Susan Butcher there; in the afternoon gene rally, neither late at night or early in the morning. Duringthe night of Monday I heard no noise whatever. Alfred Benjamin Allen examined by th ATTORNEY- GENE. eta e—l am an assistant to Mr. Chas. Shillitn, of Putney. On the 6th of April I was called to go to Mr. Shiells' stable. I saw the trunk of a woman there and I examined it. The head had been severed from the body by a very clean cut between the second and third cervical vertebrae ; the arms had been taken off as if with a hatchet or some sharp instrument. The legs and thighs had been taken off at the great trochanter, the flesh had been cut, and the bones had been chopped. The bowels were all gone, and there was a longitudinal cut ex tending from the sternum to the pubes. The body appeared to be in a most healthy state ; there were no symptoms of dis ease. I did not see the heart nor the lungs. My examination terminated on Wednesday night. The blood-vessels were perfectly empty. The person was not at all likely to have ' died of apoplexy, or any sudden disease. I should say the per son had been dead about four or five days. There was no ap pearance of decay about it, except a very slight smell. I saw the axe, and examined it at the Coroner's inquest. I should say the marks upon it were stains of blood. I examined the calcined bones also; one of them is part of the thigh bone, or femur, and another is part of the knee-bone. Others are por tions of the human skull, the sutures are plainly discernible. I am inclined to think that the female was in a pregnant con dition, but I cannot speak positively. The mutilation appeared to have taken place after death. It must have taken an im mense heat, almost a white heat, to have reduced the bones to the calcined state in which they are. Cross-examined—l think most decidedly that the marks en the axe are those of blood. Re-examined—There was a slight appearance of blood on the knife, but not very much. Cross-examination resumed—l should not like to swear that the marks on the knife are those of blood. The inspector took ppssession of the axe on Thursday, and showed it to me on Fri day. It appears to me that some of the marks on the axe, then, have since been erased. I should think that the marks which 1 saw might have been visible at night by the aid of a policeman's lamp. The marks on the thigh-bones were pro bably produced by such an instrument as as axe. The trunk was that of a full-grown female. By the COURT—I should say that she was of a rather fair complexion, and was upwards of thirty years of age. I should think she was a middle-aged, well enade, plump person. The bosom was full, and I should think, from the breasts, that she had not borne a child. I judge from the general appear ance that she had been dead between four and five days. The rigidity was gone, and the placidity had returned. Dr. Ridge examined—l am a surgeon, residing at Putney. I was called in to examine the trunk of a female. There were no marks of disease about it. I should think the person had been dead about three or four days from the time I first saw it, which was on the Thursday. The mutilation took place after death, I have no doubt. The heart was in a very healthy condition, but it was perfectly devoid of blood, as were all the cavities leading to it. The veins were perfectly empty. The lungs were very much collapsed ; there was neither blood nor air in them. The person had certainly not died of apoplexy, and I should think not by any sudden disease. I should think the person had died from violence, from the sudden loss while in health, with the muscular unctions in full operation, of blood, occasioned by the incision of some large artery or vein. I have examined the calcined bones ; they are those of a human person. This is the lower part of the thigh-bone, where it articulates with the knee-joint. This is a portion of the human skull; it must have been reduced to its present state by the action of fire. I should think the stove in the harness room was quite eapable of producing sufficient heat. I should think that the deceased was four or five months gone in preg nancy.. I judge from the appearance of the breasts. I per ceived a smell about the knife produced, such as appertains to our dissecting knives. I found a piece of flannel in the handle of the knife, which had been saturated with blood. Mr. Tatham, examined by the ATTORNEY.GENERRL—I am a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. I am one of the assistant-surgeons of St. George's Hospital. I have heard the statements made by the last witnesses, and I concur in them. I should think that the incisions were made about an hour or two after death. This is, no doubt, a portion of the human skull; this is decidedly the lower portion of the femur; this is a portion of the tibia ; and this I think is a portion of the arm. The blood in a body generally begins to stagnate almost immediately after death. Sometimes the blood does not coagulate at all after death. The appearances which the medical gentlemen have described is not consistent with death from apoplexy. In that case the body would not have been so devoid of blood. Cross-examined—l am of opinion that the loss of blood was caused by an incision of some of the great arteries. lam aware that a blood-vessel may burst, and death be the result. I have known such a case. By the COURT—AII the bones I have seen produced might have belonged to one person. Philip MeMurdoch, examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —I am surgeon to her Majesty's gaol of Newgate. I have seen the bones, and I should say that they belonged to a female. There is a piece of the skull, and the fragments of the arm and leg bones. There are no bones belonging to the trunk. There are not more bones here than are to be found in the arms, legs and skull of one person. From the evidence I have heard, I should say that the person had not died of apo plexy. By examining the body, I should have been able to tell whether the incisions bad been made before or after death. I might also judge from the breasts whether she was pregnant. By the Coy RT—Aneurism would notproduce collapse of the lungs. Jane Brown, examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I live at IS, South -street, Manchester-square, and am a green-grocer. I let part of my house out in lodgings, and let a lodging to a woman named Jane Jones, who afterwards went by the name of Goo 3. That was three years ago last October. I last saw that woman on the 3d of April; she wasrather a plump woman, 1 1 and of a rather dark eomplexion. I have seen the prisoner, Daniel Good, come to see her ; and a little boy, named Daniel Goo 3, who lived with her. I have been told by the prisoner that the mother of the boy had been dead a year and a half. When Jane Good left my house on the 3d April, she was dressed in a dark mingled cotton gown, a shawl with flowers on a black ground and a blue bonnet. It was between three or four o'clock in the afternoon when she left my house. The little boy had gone to school about two o'clock. I did not see him any more on that day. When Jane Jones first came to lodge with me she 'had a board put up with "mangling done here" on it. She was not in the habit of sleeping from home ; she never did- so. but once, and that was on Easter Monday. On Monday the 4th of April,: the prisoner came to my house, and asked if he could have the room three weeks longer, in order to dispose of the mangle, and remove the bed and other articles; he said Mrs. Good would not return, as she was going into service, to take care of agentleman's lodge, about four miles from the place where he was living. The prisoner came again on Tuesday night, about ten o'clock. He had a latch-key' with him, and he let himself in ; he said he had come to - town with the family, who had gone to a ball. I asked him hoW Mrs. Good was, and he replied that he had not seen her that day. He came again on the Wednesday night, after I had gone to bed, I heard him, but did not sec him. The bonnet, shawl,. and dress produced are those which Jane Jones wore on the day she left my house. The boots also are these which she TUE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1842. wore, to the best of ray belief.

He Humphries took him into custody. He was dressed as a brick.- said she was from London, and would return home that evening. During tea-time I said that the gardener had said something disrespectful respecting Susan Butcher sleeping at the stable. The female appeared very much agitated when she heard that, and the prisoner said it was time to go. When they were goin; away, I asked the female to bring the little boy to come and see me. The prisoner brought the little boy to me on 'Tuesday morning, and asked me to take charge of him for a little time, and I did as he wished me. The boy slept at my house all that night, and want away the next morning. Cress-examined—The female heard all that the prisoner said about being his . sitter-iti-law, &c. Robert Paling, V 245, examined by Mr. WADDINGTON About half-past six o'clock, on Sunday evening, 3d April, I saw the prisoner with a female near Priest-bridge ; they were walking arm-in-arm, and were conversing in loud tones, as if quarreling. The female had a blue bonnet on. Cross-examined—The female was talking loudly to the pri soner. - . George Royal examined by Mr. WahniscroN—l keep the King's Head at Roehampton, which is about I mile from Priest-bridge, and three-quarters of a mile from Mr. Shiells'. I know the prisoner.

The prisoner pressed her to drink, and she seemed to drink with reluctance. They staid about an haur at my house. Cross-examined—l was not in their company all the time that they were at my house. The female did not appear dejected ; the prisoner appeared as if ho had been drinking. Sarah Greenwood examined by Mr. GURNEY—I was cook at Mr. Shiells' on the 3d of April last ; the prisoner was also in Mr Shiells' service; he slept in the house, on the same floor that we all slept. I saw the prisoner about ten o'clock oa Sunday, when he said he was going to town to dine with a few friends. He returned at half-past seven, but only stopped in the house a few minutes. 1 saw him next at half-past nine ; he was qui'e correct—l mean sober. I saw him no more that night. I saw him at breakfast, next roo-ning, and in the even ing of the next day. On Monday night I saw the little boy at the house; the prisoner brought him to the house. On Tuesday morning when the prisoner came to breakfast he appeared very dirty, I said to him " Daniel, you're very dirty, yon're not fit to sit down with us ; you're like a sweep." He said he was going to wash and shave himself. He said he had been cleaning the harness. His face and hands were dirty. I know the harness-room and the stable ; they were always kept locked. I never was in the harness-room. Cross-examined—When the prisoner came in at half-past seven, he came into the kitchen, and asked about the dinner. He then went to speak to his master, and I did riot see hint leave the house. . layer. Mr. DOANE asked the Attorney-General whether he in tended to proceed upon that count in the indictment which charged the prisoner with pi,isoning the deceased? Lord DENMAN said that it was quite clear that that count cluld not be entered upon, as the evidnace did not touch that question at all. The first two counts were those on which they must proceed. This was the case for the prosecution. . 4 The Court then adjourned for a few minutes to take re. freshment. Mr. DOA NE then addressed the Jury for the defence. He said it now became his duty to address a few observations to them on behalf of the unfortunate man at the bar, and he must say that he was deeply impressed with the great responsibility under which he laboured. There were circumstances connected with this transaction about whi;.th he must engage their most se rious attention, and those were certain statements which had been put forth, and had led a considerable portion of the public to entertain the most exaggerated notions with respect to the share the prisoner had in this transaction ; and gentlemen of the Jury must have been aware, long before they guessed that. they were to be called on to take part in this inquiry, that a large portion of the public press had given publicity to statements the most exaggerated, and which tended to injure the case of the prisoner at the bar. He had been denounced through out as the murderer ; his name had been coupled with that dreadful crime from one end of the kingdom to the other. It was no doubt in allusion to these statements that her Ma jesty's Attorney-General came down to that Court, and in the execution of his duty called upon them to dismiss from their minds all they might have heard relative to the case. He had nothing to complain of on behalf of the unfortunate man, as to the manner in which the proceedings had been conducted on the part of the prosecution. His Learned Friend had con tented himself with a calm, dispassionate statement of the facts, unaccompanied by any comments, in acknowledgment cf which he (Mr. Doane), on the part of the prisoner, begged to offer his most humble thanks. He would now call upon the Jury to look upon this ease as his Learned Friend had done, to swerve not to the right or to the left, to listen to no suggestions which they might have heard, but calmly, patiently, and quietly to attend only to the evidence, and carefully to weigh the evidence before they came to a conclusion. And he hoped at their hands, as an impartial jury, that they would pause a long time before they would say, one and all, that they had no doubt whatever that the prisoner at the bar was guilty of the crime imputed to him. The charge was endeavoured to be made out by circumstantial evidence ; that was to say, there was no direct testimony as to the act which caused the decease of the person whose body bad been found ; he would put it therefore to the Jury whether the circumstances attendant upon this transaction where such as to lead them to the inference that By the Coeur —The prisoner used to make his own bed. George Jordan examined by Mr. GURNEY—I was a foot man in Mr. Shiells' employ. At half -past seven on Sunday evening the prisoner came into the pantry where I was. I told him he was in liquor, and ho then went to the parlour. He said he was going t the Green Man with a friend o' his who was going to take his boy to Ireland. The Green Man is on Putney-heath, about a mile and a half from Mr. Shiell's. He then went out. He did not remain in the house above a quarter of an hour. Cross- examined—l did not see him leave the house. Mary Hogg, examined by Mr. GURNEY-I live at No. 9, South-mews, Manchester-square. lam a laundress. I knew Mrs. Good; she used to mangle for me. I saw her last on Sun day morning about eleven o'clock. I expected to see her on :Monday at nine o'clock, but she did not come. About twelve o'clock on that day, however, I saw the prisoner. I asked him where Mrs. Good was? He said that she was detained on ac count of the poultry. I said she promised to be home by nine in the morning, and he made no rep.y. He asked me to go to Jane Good's kitchen, and get two sheets, which I was to pre-- pare and take to Mr. Spice, a surgeon. I had been in the habit of washing shirts for Mrs. Good. I next saw the pri soner on Tuesday night, about ten or eleven ; he came to my house, and asked for a light to make a tire in the kitchen, as his people were gone to a ball. I asked him where and now Mrs. Good was? He said he did not know, as lie had not seen her these two days. Cross-examined--I was not examined before the Magistrate. Wm. Jones examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I am an assistant to Mr. Smith, pawnbroker, 17, South street, Manchester-square. I know Daniel Good. He used to do business at our shop. I have known him for two or three years. I last saw him there on the 4th of April, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. He brought a gown, a petticoat, and a new shawl with him. I lent him 10s. upon them. He had several other things in pledge with us then, and an um brella, which was in pawn, he redeemed. He said ins wife was gone out of town, and he pawned the things to take care of them. Lydia Susannah Butcher examined by the ArTORNEY GELERAL.-I live at Woolwich with my father and mother. I have known the prisoner some time. He has come several times to see me at my father's house, and I have been to see him three or four times at his master's house in Putney Park lane. I have staid there all night. I remember him coming to my father's house about a fortnight before the discovery of the female's body. From the time 112 st slept in the harness room, I did nut see the prisoner till the 6th of April. On the 6th April the prisoner came to my father's in a pony chaise with his little boy. I had not seen the little boy before, ' but he called the prisoner father. The prisoner brought this blue bonnet to me, a handkerchief, a pair of boots, a shawl, and a fur tippet. They were in an old hat-box without a lid. He said he had brought them for me, if I would accept of them ; and he said they had been his wife's. He had told me pre viously that his wife had been dead five years, and he had promised some weeks before to give me some 1 things which had belonged to his wife. When he brought the things on Wednesday, he said he had brought them. He asked me if I would wear the bonnet. He had two squares of shot silk with him at the same time, but he dill not leave them. These things remained in my house till Thursday evening, when gave them up to Sergeant Parry. The prisoner left my father's house on Wednesday evening, about half-past five in the evening. I and my sister accompanied m a y ma si n s g te le r s got out at the half-way house, and I went on to New Cross. hilst going along, the prisoner said and other things he had for me, and I was to go to London on Saturday to see them. He said the mangle was at South-street Manchester-square, I think. He told me he had a brother. ' Whilst driving along he told the child to call me mother, be cause his sister-in-law, the child's aunt, was gone into the country. Cross-examined —l had known the prisoner about two years ; it was only within the last twelve months that he told me his wife was dead. The two pieces of silk that he brought to me he took away again, and I have not seen them since. I think it was a mattress that we slept upon when we were in the harness-room. I first went to Mr. Shiells' about last Christ ' may, and when I was there the gardener saw me. James Parry, police sergeant, 8 K, examined by Mr. A notestus—On the 7th of April I received some things from the last witness, consisting of a blue bonnet and other articles. Hubert Golding, S 31, produced some pieces of silk, which he found in South-street, Manchester-square, Mary Ann Clarke—l live at No. 18, South-street. This blue bonnet was Mrs. Good's. I made it for her. I knew the woman ; she passed as the prisoner's wife, and the little boy called her mother. I saw her last about eight o'clock in the morning of the 3d of April. I once as sisted her on with a gown, and I observed a small dark mole on her neck. 't his little piece of silk is a part of that of which the blue bonnet was made. This piece of flannel has been a flannel petticoat, which 1 believe to have belonged to Mrs. Good. I know it by the wide band, which is wider than is generally worn, but it is the kind of band she used to wear. This is part of the handkerchief she used to wear over her shoulders. This is the key of the entrance-door where she lodged, and I used to see her wear this guard every day round her neck. I also identify this umbrella as having be longed to her. Cross-examined—On the 18th I was first examined before a Justice on this matter. Elizabeth Christie examined by Mr.Watartisswroei—l live at No. 18, South -street, Manchester-square. This bonnet be longed to Mrs. Good. I altered it for her nine months ago, and I am sure it was her's ; the dress,'shawl, and guard pro duced were all hers ; and the key is the key of the entrance door. 'The prisoner used to come to visit the female sometimes three or four times a week. I saw him at the house on Tuesday. I said, " Who is there ?" He said " Me." I said, " Who is me?" He said " Good." I went down stairs, and there was a little boy holding a light for him. said "Is that your H little boy, Mr. Good?"e said "No, my little boy is in the country with his mother." I saw the boy afterwards, and I saw ' that it was not Good's little boy. I have observed a small mole on the right s id e o f M r s. Good's neck. Cross-examined—Whenever I have seen the prisoner and the female together, his conduct to wards her has alwa y s been very affectionate ; he always said—" Good bye, my dear," &c. I thought he was very fund of her. Daniel Good, jun., was then called, and the prisoner applied bundle with his handkerchief to his eyes ; there w as a universal buz z in the Court, and it was determined not to examine him.

James Oborn examined byMr. WADDINGTON—I drive a hack cab. At a quarter to six in the morning sonic one told me to drive to Whitcombe-street. I did so, and I saw the prisoner with a large bee, a small box, a bed, and a bundle. I put them in the cab, and he told me to drive to the Spotted Horse. I said did not know such a place as the Spotted Horse, I knew the Spotted Dog. He said it was all the same. 1 drove him to the Spotted Dog, and be,; ot) cu.' the prisoner at the bar had caused the death of the oeceased. They would see how important it was to have every link in the chain of evidence unbroken, and that the inference to be drawn mast necessarily be none other than that the pri soner committed the deed. True it was that a part of the circumstantial evidence did at first press, and that most heavily, against the prisoner at the bar ; all the ramifications of the matter which had been inquired into seemed, up to a certain point, to centre on the prisoner ; but there had been many cases in the history of the jurisprudence of this and of other countries, in which circumstantial evi dence of a more convincing kind than had been adduced to - day had been brought forward, - and acting on which the Jury had found the prisoner guilty, and had, after all, condemned the innocent. He mentioned this in the outset, to impress upon them that they were not to come to a hasty conclusion, because the circumstances seemed to press against the prisoner. He quite agreed with the Attorney-General, that the most impor • taut part of their inquiry would be, not so much who was the murderer, but was there anybody murdered at all—was any body murdered? That was the question. Because, if they were nut satisfied of that there would be an end of the case as regarded the prisoner at the bar. If there were no murder at all committed, then they would be relieved from pursuing their inquiry. Was there evidence before them to satisfy them, and each of them, unerringly, that a female came to her death by murder ? That was to say—Did any one deprive her of life ? Then the inquiry would come, how was she deprived of life? That the trunk of a dead female was found on the premises of Mr. Shiells there could be no doubt, and he would at once concede that the female who was seen to leave South-street on Sunday, the 3d of April, named Jane Good, was the female that was afterwards seen in company with Good. They found them together between seven and eight o'clock that night. Where did they go to then? They were never seen together in the stable, or on the premises of Mr. Shiells. The prisoner was with his master at half-past set m that evening, and they had no evidence that he ever left the house after. Just before the prisoner went to his master's at half-pat seven, the de ceased was seen alive and well ; where she went to then they did not know. At half-past seven the cook saw the prisoner go to his master; at half-past nine he was taking his supper in the servants' hall, where the cook left him, and went to bed. Was it to be surmised that he left the house after that ? If he had left the house, there must have been some fastening left unsecured, which must have been discovered by a , servant in the morning. But no such thing ; no fastenings were observed unsecured, no door was observed open, but everything was right, and the prisoner went to his breakfast as usual. The case on the part ,of the prosecution would seem to imply that the female came to her death ore Sunday night after she was seen in company with Good. There was, however, no other evidence to connect Good with the female during her lifetime than what he had mentioned. They had Good afterwards, when charged as the murderer, making his escape, and they ! ' were called on to draw the inference, who so likely to have mur ' dered the woman as he who was last seen with her? But might not an innocent man have this charge brought against him, and might he not act then as the prisoner had done ? Sup pose somebody else had murdered the woman, and the body of the ,deceased were conveyed into the premises of another person, it would be an awkward position for him to be placed ' in, yet the body might be surreptitiously brought into his premises, and it would be hard for him to prove his innocence. ' Had Good been proved to have done anything more with that body than an innocent man might have done with it ? He, being an innocent man, might not have had nerve enough to have come forward and published the affair ; he might have thought that the circumstantial evidence against him might be so strong as to endanger him if he came forward. The truth was not always most seasonable ' • nor, as was said in a neighbouring county, was the truth always most probable. Would it not be a likely thing for an innocent man to do, to dispose of the remains, in order to get rid of the accusations which might be made against him ? He thought after the evi dence they had heard from the medical gentlemen, that it would ba absurd to suppose that this female's death had occurred in any other way except by the rupture of some large blood vessel, which must have caused the blood to have dis appeared from the body. in the manner which had been described by the medical witnesses. It was to be assumed then that a body being found in a stable, of which Good had the key, he had with some instrument inflicted such a wound as would cause such a flowing of blood. With respect to the sabsequent part of the inquiry, he need not say anything, be cause many a man sunder the fear of being charged with mar , der, would act just as the prisoner did. He made a variety of ' ridiculous statements, and so might any man, but did that ne cessarily infer guilt ? They would recollect that the quantity of blood which must have flowed from the wound must have been enormous ; she was a plump woman, in geed health, and the flow of bloat must have been great indeed. Was the murder eommitted in the harness-room or in the stable ? Where was the evidence ? Would they not have expected to have found some vestige of the blood? But there was none ; in the stable, where the truuk was found, one policeman saw, what he thought to be, a small quantity of blood. If the murder were nut committed there, where did it take place, and who was the guilty pay ? His Learned Friend the Attorney-General, who opened the case to them, did not feel at all justified in directing their at tention to any motive which the prisoner at the bar could have for the committal of this deed. Men did not all of a sud den take up a knife and deprive another being of life without a motive. Was there any suggestion which had occurred to them which could make them think would induce them to do it? They had heard of murders having been committed out of revenge, for a desire of gain, passion, and.suslden quarrel, but they did not hear of cases like these. .here was no induce ment proved. Could it be owing to his connexion with Susan Butcher? Why, he had known her for two years; there was nothing to be gained either to him or her by getting rid of Jane Good; he visited her, and she visited him, without the slightest reference to Jane Good living in South-street. Did a case suggest itself to their minds arising out of this, why the prisoner should commit the deed ? Or if not, what other case could sug g est itself to them. He should think none. After they had heard the manner in which he lived with Jane Good ; that, as one of the witnesses said, his man ner was always kind to her, and he treated her with the ut most kindness, so much so that witness thought he was very fond of her, He should hardly think when they recollected that, and the length of time he had lived with her, and • paid for her lodgings, they would think that he would murder her for the sake of her clothes. He could have left the connection with Jane Good whenever he chose. She could gain her own living without him, and all he bad to do was to cease going from Putney all the way to Seuth- street. But might not the evidence of Fanny Hester, and the policeman who followed her, assist them in coming to a right judgment ? Might not the deceased, influenced by the remarks of Fanny Hester relative to the connection of Susan Butcher and the prisoner, being stung wilt feelings o jealousy, have committed suicide? After some further re marks on the evidence of the witnesses, he concledrd by say ing that if they took this view of the case they would see it surrounded with so many difficulties and so many doubts as to be unable to bring their minds to say that he was guilty. Lord DENMAI4 then summed up, and said the prisoner, Daniel Good, stood charged before them with the wilful mur- Cer of Jane Gocd, otherwise Jane Jones, and that murder was charged to have been committed with an axe or a knife, or in some other way as described in the different counts of the in dictment. After cautioning the Jury, for the purpose of re moving from their minds all prejudices raised by this atrocious deed, he proceeded to state the manner in which the occur rence ought to be presented their minds. The unfortunate woman, respecting whose death they were called upon to judge, was last seen alive between seven and nine o'clock on the 3d of April, in company with the prisoner. Since that time she had been seen alive by no human being. On the night of the 6th of April, the policemen and others going to the place where the prisoner was carrying on his ordinary business, with a view to some .other inquiry, found the prisoner most anxious to go and meet that charge, and leave the stable. The Learned Judge then recounted the circumstances, as stated by the witnesses respecting the finding of the body, the giving of the clothes to Susan Butcher, and the escape of the prisoner from the harness.rocm, when he locked the door on the constable and others engaged in making a search for the suposed stolen prtyerty. It had been argued that the deceased had committed suicide, and it would therefore be the duty of the Jury, on look ing at the probability of the case, whether they could believe she had committed sudden violence on herself. The prisoner would not have been alarmed ; and was it possible that he could have seen such anittct committed without endeavouring to obtain assistance ? And was it possible to suppose that while the inquiry was going on—if such were the fact—that lie would not have thrown out some hint as to the probability that such might have been the way in which she had met her death. Looking, however, at the facts as they stood, he thought they must possess a very great share of credibility, if they believed the unfortunate deceased had committed this act herself. His Lordship then went over the whole of the evidence in detail, and concluded by saying : " You must now consider upon this evidence whether there is enough proved to warrant you in finding the prisoner guilty. If you have any doubt, you must give the benefit of that doubt to the prisoner ; but mind, not that passing doubt which may attach to any occasion where there is the least mystery, but such a doubt as remains on your mind after due deliberation and reflection upon the evidence which has been adduced. I now leave the case in your hands." The Jury retired, and after an abstt 'e of half an hour, on their return _ The Clerk of the Arraigns said, " Genstemen of the Jury, are you agreed?" The Foreman said, " We find the prisoner GUILTY." The prisoner, while the names were called over became ex ceedingly pale, and much agitated. Lord DENIIAN then pronounced sentence of Death in the following terms :—" Daniel Good, you have been convicted upon clear evidence, of a most foul and wieleed murder—a case more abhorrent to the feelings of human nature, perhaps never was brought before human justice. You are a lament able example of the cruelties to which an indulgence in a vicious course of life may lead. There can be no doubt that in indulging your desires for one woman after another, when you were tired of the unfortunate woman whom you so long ta eated as your wife, and whom you were bound to treat as such, you formed a new attachment, which could not have full gratification, according to your view, without murdering the unfortunate victim. Hardly any aggravation is wanted in this deplorable case. We see the closest culti vation of gain, the most miserable attention to the meanest profii s, and an utter disregard of the public feeling of humanity towards this woman your companion, and to whom you owed protection. Long before this act was done, you planned the depriving her of a little property she had, and you intended to make the new object of your affections con duct those concerns from which the deceased was deriving a livelihood. Several weeks before you committed this act you made the promise of even the clothes she wore, and shortly before that you pledged yourself further to the young person who has appeared as a witness against you. There can be no doubt that on that Sunday night when you allured her from her lodgings in London, and introduced her into your harness-room, you inflicted death upon her, and in stantly conceived the design of concealing her altogether from the examination of man. You thought that haring the entire control of that room, in possession of the key, and with a fiee at command, you might easily consume this body, but you have found that though you possessed all those advantages, nn witnessed by no human eye. all your proceedings hare been regarded and observed, and at length brought t r light. in such a manner as to form a most powerful warning to all other criminals, and show how the most secret deeds of wickedness may be discovered. It is absolutely necessary that your life should be forfeited to the laws of God and man, which you have so grossly outraged. I can hold out no hopes of mercy in this world. Your case will stand almost alone as the case of a man who will leave the world without one to pity his fate. I trust ne Englishman will so far forget himself on that day which will be so fatal to you as to indulge in the expression of that horror and indignation which the calmest amongst us cannot fail to feel, but it is no small aggravation of your punishment, and it is one which all who may contemplate the commission of such crimes as yours ought to feel, that there is not perhaps one single creature you leave behind who will not think a good deed is done when your life is taken. You are now on the verge of another world. Make the most of the short time which now remains to you, and prepare for that more dreadful sentence that awaits you before a more dread judge, and, by repentance and remorse, you may yet reconcile your Maker to yourself. The only duty that remains for me to perform is to pronounce the awful sentence of the law, which is, that you be taken to the place whence you came, thence to a place of exe cution, that you be then banged by the net's till you be dead, and that your body be afterwards buried within the precincts of the prison, and may Almighty God have mercy upon your soul." Good then clasped his hands in the attitude of prayer, and said, " I declare before Almighty God, and you all, that I did not murder Jane—she killed herself. When we caded and took tea with Mrs. Hester, and Mrs, Hester spoke about Susan Butcher, she (the deceased) turned very angry, and appeared much hurt, and she said she would make away with herself; and I declare to Almighty God, that Susan Butcher is the cause of that woman making away with her self. I very much regret she is gone. I got Susan Butcher a situa tion at the Rose and Crown, Wellington, and when there, she got drunk a great many times. After that she used to come to my master's place, and make me take her to a public-house, and give her chops and rum and water. She used often to get drunk, and if I married her and had 5001. a-year she would ruin me. Susan Butcher slept with me in my master's stables ever since Christmas last, and I concealed there the mattress and blankets for her bed. It was all through her that Jane destroyed herself. I left Jane in the stable on Sunday even ing. When she threatened to make away with herself. I said " Jane, don't do that ; it is very wicked to think of such things." She had a penknife of her own, and when I went back I found her hanging, with her head hang ing down, and her throat cut, like Lord Castlereagh. The knife I threw over Hammersmith-bridge oa Monday morning. The man who used to supply me with blacking came to the stables. I told him the affair, and said I should run away. He said, Well I'll tell you what you will do. You will try to conceal the body." I told him I would give him a sovereign if he could do so, and asked him to come on Tuesday. He came on Tuesday morning a little after , seven o'clock. He had a bag with him. I gave him the axe and the knife. I put two trusses of straw against the window to prevent old Houghton looking in. I then left him. He took the head away with him, and he came back again about half-past one. He recom mended that we should make a fire, which he did, and he burnt the legs. He destroyed the body, and not I, so help my Al mighty God, and I gave him a golden sovereign for it. He said that he would come again, and that he would tie a fourteen pound to the body and sink it in the river. but he never came. I never was married to Jane, but I gave her a ring. The bonnet, cap, boots, gown, and ring I gave to Susan Butcher, at Woolwich, and I :old her what had hap pened. She said she was glad to hear it, arid she would come and take care of my boy and all the things. I said I would take my boy home; but she said she would act as a mother to him." The prisoner, then, putting his hand to his head, as if to raise his hat, said, " Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you all good night. I have got a good deal more to say, but lam so bad." Then turning to the Jury, he said, " 1 don't say but you have all done your duties very well." Lord DEN:war: at the conclusion of these strange state ' ments, said they only confirmed him in the opinion which he before entertained of the correctness of the verdict which the jury had returned. The prisoner was then removed. The trial did not terminate till near nine o'clock, at which hour the street was densely crowded, and as soon as the verdict was =cie known, a univer sal and loud shout waa raised by the assembled multitude. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 13. WALTON v. BATEMAN AND OTHERS. This case, which has now occupied the Court four days, was decided to-day. The Learned Judge having concluded, the SOLICITOR- , GENERAL tendered a bill of exceptions to the direction; and the Jury ret red shortly after four o'clock, and at seven o'clock returned a verdict for the plaintiff on all the issues. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Francis Copping, an important-looking person, very fashi onably dressed, and who, it. appears, is possessed of an indepen dent property, and resides at Notting-hill, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the pollee. Police constable No. 179 of the C division, stated that, about two yesterday morning, the defendant was wrangling with a man of bad character in Oxford-street, and wanted to fight him. Witness interfered to prevent a I breach of the peace, and also the defendant, from being robbed, which he no doubt would have been, when he struck him (complainant) a violent blow on the mouth, and cut his lip severely. Complainant then took him into custody, and con veyed him to the station-house. He was excessively intoxi cated as the time. The defendant said he was very sorry for what had happened, but he certainly did not strike the constable intentionally—he had been dining out and was certainly the worse for the wine he had drank. He was fined 205., which was immediately paid. ' FALACAS AT THE GUAItDS CLUE HOUSE.—Yesterday a respectably dressed young man, who gave his name as John Lawrence, and described himself as a linen-draper, residing at No. ';IO, Wilsread-street, Somers•town, was charged before Mr. Hardwick, with violently assaulting Sir Frederick Bathurst. About half-past eleven o'clock on Thursday night the defendant and two of his friends, who were out on the "spree" together, and had each more or less taken a greater portion of strong drink than proper discretion would have sanctioned, were passing up St. James's-street. and on reach ing opposite to the Guards Club House, one of the defendants friends rushed up the steps, and forcing his way by the hall porter, intruded himself into one of the apartments where several Members of the Club were assembled, and commenced loudly vociferating his orders for gin and water and a pipe of tobacco ; he was remonstrated with by the attendants and begged to retire, but this he obstinately refused to do, and eventually he was thrust forth into the street, which so excited the ire of the defendant, that he rushed forward in aid of his ejected companion and commenced laying about him in good earnest with his fists ; in fact, indiscriminately striking at every person that came within his reach. In the melee, Sir Frederick Bathurst, who was passing into the club, was struck by the defendant a severe blow on the eye, which slightly blackened it. The Gallant Officer, however, turned to, and repaid the indignity with interest, greatly to the dis comfiture of the defendant. The police coming up at the instant, and finding the defendant was the aggressor, took him to the station-house, his two friends having in the interim ran away. Before the case was called for hearing, the defendant ex pressed to Sir Frederick Bathurst his regret at what had occurred; and on naming his station in life, Sir Frederick consented not to press the charge, on condition of hi, giving ss. to the office poor-box, which, in addition to the thrash* he got, was thought a sufficient punishment for his drunken freak. The defendant willingly complied with this proposition, and was of course discharged. He stated, on leaving the office, that his companion, who forced his way into the Club-house, had his shoulder dislocated in the scuffle. LADY I3LESSINGTON'S NEW NOVEL.—The forth coming novel of the Countess of Blessington, bearing the piquant, but rather mysterious title of " The Lottery ofiLife," is looked for with unusual curiosity and interest, and the more so from the dearth of good works of fiction during the present season. " The Lottery of Life" is, as we understand, strictly answerable to that part of its title which indicates its reality; it is a tale busyir.g itself with the actual " Life" of our own day and country—in the knowledge of which this popular writer is so richly stored, and the many-coloured chances and changes of which she has so successfully depicted in her previous works. The present volumes, if report speak truly of them, contain not a few portraits of characters in the higher grades of Eng lish life, which, whether so intended or not, will doubtless be assigned to existing " originals' whether justly or no, remains to be judged of when the work makes its appearance—which it is, we believe, on the point of doing immediately. The Earl of A nekland, accompanied by his sisters, the lion. Alis•es Eden, and his nephew and Aid-de-camp, the Hon. Capt. W. Godolphin Osborne, i s expected to arrive in town the first we e k i n th e ens ui n g month, from the late sea t of his Government at Calcutta. His Lordship went ,out • the spring of 1835. BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE. Tile Great Room at the Mart was yesterday nume musty crowded by capitalists, many of them in the ex pectation of getting great bargain, from the circum stances being rumoured that required the sale to be ti - peremptory one. Mr. George Robins delivered a long . and very animated exordium, in which he praised very „ highly the measures adopted by Sir Robert Peel for . setting at rest the differences of opinion regarding the Corn-laws. He stated that it was impossible for human wisdom to have allotted a more sensible, just, and honest arrangement, as between the landowners and the public; • it was, in fact, a measure altogether worthy of the high renown of our highly-gifted Minister. In this strain Mr. Robins went ollibr a lengthened period, and evi- - &nay succeeded in carrying his audience entirely with him in the view he took of the stability now of landed in. • vestment as compared with the uncertainty of previoni years. The rental is 1,000/. a-year, and with a suppo sititious value only for the mansion and manors, said to. be 1,2001. a-year ; but the real annual value was confi dently declared to be from 1,000/. to 1,200/. a-yes-r- He sold the estate for 30,000 guineas, independently of the timber, which is to be taken at a fair valuation. Mr. Wood, the solicitor of Woodbridge, was the purchaser for one of his Suffolk clients. The event of yesterday is one of importance, inasmuch as it proves the wisdom displayed by Sir Robert Peel, and demonstrates a fact which before was doubtful, that his arrangement of the Corn-laws has not at all deteriorated the value of land- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
