His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment this morning in this important case, which it will he re collected has occupied the Court upwards of seven days in argument, and all the facts of whieh have been in detail before the public. 'the plaintiff, Mr. James Lewis, ivas the 64 brother of ttn intestate of the name of William LangdOtt, who died possesed of large personal property, exceeding 1,000,000/. Mr. Langdon left a widow, and also the defendant, Wm. Tobias Langton, about whose legitimacy a question was raised, and which was, in truth, the question which had originated the former suit. The defendants were, Mt. Tobias Langdon, Robert Colmer, and Thomas Samp son. 11r. Colmer was a special pleader, of considerable eminence; Thomas Sampson was a Doctor of Divinity, a Magistrate of three counties, and a gentleman of high character and reputation. The bill was filed for the purpose of avoiding an agreement, by which the plaintiff agreed to release all his right in the property of the intestate, as his half-brother, upon condition of re ceiving 20,000/. The bill charged that the agreement was induced by fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of Colmer and Sampson, who, as the bill alleged, ope rated together for the purpose of inducing the plaintiff to execute the agreement. It was, however, to be col lected from the bill, though it was not distinctly stated, that, supposing there was no fraudulent mis• representation in the case, yet that Colmer had taken upon himself to be the adviser of the plaintiff, William Lewis, with respect to the propriety of the compromise, and the terms of it, and that in that character he had entirely failed in his duty, that lie had consulted the interests of Mr. Tubias Langdon atone. The same charge was also made against Dr. Sampson, who it was stated had favoured the interests of Mr. T. Langdon on account of his being about to marry his daughter. Mr. Conner was not only a defendant, but had been examined as a witness, and ob jections had been taken to his testimony because he was a defendant, for the purpose of b .ing liable for the costs of the suit, if the allegations of the bill were made out against him. It was insisted by Mr. Tobias Langdon that he was made a party, not in that respect, but in order to prevent his being a witness in the cause, and it was the duty of the Court, therefore, to examine what the charges against Mr. Colmer were, and then to see whether his evidence was not admissible. Mr. Calmer being made a party for the purpose of being liable for the costs of the suit, his answer was evidence for himself. The charge against him was, co-operating in fraud and misrepresenta tion with Dr. Sampson, who, it was alleged, was an in timate friend of his, to induce the plaintiff to exe cute the agreement, and the bill further alleged, that there was some secret and underhand agreement by which Dr. Sampson and Mr. Gilmer were to share in the profit which Mr. Tobias Langdon would re ceive from this agreement. Mr. Colmer in his answer stated, and his Honour would read the important pas sage in that answer in detail, because it would be neces sary to compare it with the evidence of Mr. Jenkins, that the effect of the answer was, that Dr. Sampson was not his intimate friend ; that some years ago a son of Dr. Sampson was his pupil, that he had no visiting acquaintance with him, knew nothing of his family, and that he did not even know the fact that he had a daughter till the bill was filed. That Dr. Sampson had come to him and represented the death of Mr. Langdon, whom he had never before heard of, giving him an account of the family; that Lewis had placed an avowed illegitimate son of his with Dr. Sampson as a pupil ; that a question had arisen as to that illegitimacy ; that Mr. Lewis, the half brother to the intestate, was extremely kindly disposed towards his nephew ; that he was determined, whether legitimate or not, that he should have the whole property that did not belong to the widow, except 20,000/. ; and that he desired to execute some instrument by which that might be secured. That he wished to consult Mr. Colman upon it. That a meeting was held for this purpose on the 20th of February, and upon the statement of Lewis that he wished to settle the whole property of Mr. Tobias Langdon, with the exception of 20,000/., Mr. Colmer agreed to prepare an agreement for that purpose. Mr. Colmer also denied the charge of taking upon himself the office of adviser to the plaintiff, stating that he came to him determined to execute the agreement, at which time nothing was said as to the illegitimacy of Mr. Tobias Langdon. His Honour then read different parts of Mr. Colmer's answer at consi derable length, observing that if the statements contained in it were true, it was plain that the agreement had not been induced by fraud and misrepresentation on his part. His Honour then went at considerable length into the evi dence of Mrs, Jenkins, the daughter of the plaintiff, the only person present at the transaction, who expressly contradicted Mr. Colmer's representations with re spect to the legitimacy, and in other particulars; Mrs. Jenkins's evidence, however, was contradicted by Mr. Roberts, a gentleman whose testimony could not be quar relled with ; under ouch circumstances, and considering that Mrs. Jenkins could not altogether be considered a disinterested witness, his Honour felt himself bound to de. dare that the testimony of Mr. Colmer was admissible ; and if it was to be received as true, which he was of opi nion that it was, it was clear the plaintiffwas not induced by Colmer's representation to enter into the agreement, but that it was the result of his own predetermined purpose. With respect to Dr. Sampson, if Mr. Colmer's evidence stood uncontradicted, which it did, it was impossible that the plaintiff could have entered into the agreement through the representations of Dr. Sampson, because he had, ac cording to that evidence, entered into it of his own free will, and without any representations at all. In the opinion of his Honour, Dr. Sampson's evidence was as well entitled to be received as that of Mr. Colmer, and such being the case all doubt was entirely excluded, and the only course left for the Court was the dismissal of the bill with costs.— The charge in the bill that Mr. Colmer and Dr. Sampson were by a secret and under-hand agreement to share in the profit which Mr. T. Langdon was to receive under the agreement, was not only wholly unsupported, but had not a colour of probability ; another charge on the bill was that Dr. Sampson had acted most dishonourably in promoting an alliance between one of the defendants and his daughter ; if even that change had been true, in the opinion of the Court it was perfectly irrelevant to the present case, and ought to have been introduced, the single question being the validity of the agreement. His Honour, in conclusion, ~ . felt it his duty to say it would be most unjust to Dr. Sampson and Mr. Colman, if they should suffer the least imputation on their character and conduct from being im properly dragged into this suit:—Bill dismissed with costs. COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY). A Court was held ,his morning for the special purpose of considering two notices of motion. The first was to the effect, that the Clerk of the Farringdon-market be ordered to close the market at twelve o'clock every Satur day night, and to keep the same closed till twelve o'clock on Sunday night, and that an address be presented to the Court of Aldermen requesting them to enforce the due observance of the Sabbath throughout the city. The other motion was to strike out a portion of the seventeenth standing order of the Court, which related to the money qualification of members of the Court. The LORD MAYOR took the chair at twelve o'clock. The minutes of the Court held yesterday ware read, by which it appeared that a resolution was adopted for widening Eastcheap, in order to facilitate the traffic in that direction. THE NEW WARWICK-LANE MARKET. On a motion by Mr. LEDGER that the report of the City Lands' Committee, which recommended the adoption of measures to rni down the market, and that the parties be heard by themselves or agents in behalf of the market, Mr. JONES opposed the motion, though he had no ob• jection to delay the consideration of the report for a week. The LORD Maros said that as his motives had been impugned relative to the course he had pursued with re spect to bringing on the two motions for consideration this day, he could only say that he had called the Court, as he thought it was the general wish of the members to do to. When he had acted improperly, he should be ready to be corrected by the Court, but in this case he had, he considered, consulted their wishes.—(Cheers.) The Court then went into the consideration of the sub ject of the qualification of the members of this Court. Mr. Deputy ROUTH thought it highly necessary that some qualification should be necessary. He could not help stating that his observations would apply to the Court of Aldermen. The consequence had been, the Court of Aldermen had been disgraced, and considered fair g ame to be held up to public reprobation. Mr. JOHN READ, the patentee of the stomach-pump, &c. &c., has been appointed Instrument maker to his MAJESTY. Mr. Serjeant ANDREWS is now confidently spoken of as the probable successor of Mr. Colin. as Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions. Lord ENCOMBE, grandson to the Earl of anost, we understand, is a good caricaturist. Hie Lord ship repeatedly amused himself at Dorchester, while at tending on Lord ASHLEY'S Election Committee, by trans ferring to piper the portraiture of witnesses and others in whose countenances any thing of a grotesque nature hap pened to be displayed.—.Taantort Ce'uricr. OLD BAILEY.--(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. As it was understood that the prisoners charged with the murder of the Italian bay would be tried this morning, the anxiety to witness the proceedings was most intense. At an early hour of the morning a great crowd had as a-en-dried in front of the Sessions House, but every avenue loading to the Cana O% closed, except to persons who had hairiness there, and the favoured few who could make sufficient interest to procure admission. At eight o'clock the Court was crowded to excess: At nine o'clock the Deputy Recorder, rilr. Serjrant ARABIN, came into Court; when the prisoners, .1011 ti Bishop, Thomas Williams, and James Allay, were placed at the bar, and the indictment having been read over them in one count with the wilful murder of Carlo Ferreir, otherwise Charles Ferrier, and in another with the wilful murder of a male person, whose name was unknown, they severally pleaded Not Guilty. The witnesses were in attendance at eight o'clock, and were conducted to a private room. They Were 43 in number. One person, mired Mortimer, who was to be a witness, last night cut his throat, and lies in a very den- germs state. We understand that so great was the anxiety to get a seat to hear the proceedingsJ th it as much as a guinea was demanded by the door-keepers fur a seat in the gal lery. At that price, of course, the gallery filled but slowly, although subs, quently it was crowded to excess. Bishop and May looked very dejected, but Williams with a careless, indifferent manner, surveyed the Court and the gallery as if he was looking fur some acquaintances. At ten o'clock Lord Chief Justice Tindal (who came expressly to try this case), Mr. Baron Vaughan, and Mr. Justice Littledale, entered the Court, with the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs. The bench was instantly crowded with nobility and gentry, among whom we perceived his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. The prisoners were again placed at the bar, and the Jury were charged with them. Mr. BODKIN opened the case. Mr. Anoarpus, in detailing the circumstances, said the Jury could not hut be aware that this was a case of ereat importance, from what had taken place for many days past; he was aware that no person could be unacquainted with the foul crime with which the prisoners were charged, but he implored the Jury to remove from their minds all that they had previously heard respecting it, and to deliver the prisoners as they would deliver their con sciences; and he hoped they would not allow their minds to be biassed by what they had heard cur. read out of doors. He observed that in this ease no revenge, none of the usual incentives to commit crime, had influenced the unhappy prisoners in committing the murder, if it should appear they did commit that offence. It was solely a desire to possess themselves of a dead body, in order to dispose of it to the surgeons. Wm. Hill, examined by Mr. CLAlltksoN—l am porter to the dissecting-room of the King's College. On Satur day, the sth November, about a quarter before twelve o'clock, Bishop and May came to the door; I knew them before; Mmy asked me if I wanted anything, and said " not particularly." I asked what he had got, lie said a male subject ; I asked him what size ; he said a boy about fourteen, and he demanded twelve guineas ; I said we could not give that price, for we did not particu larly want it, but if he would wait I would acquaint Mr. Partridge, the demonstrator of anatomy. I then went to Mr. Partridge, and by his desire they were sent into a room appropriated for them, where Mr. Partridge went to them. There was some difference about the price; Mr. Partridge would not give twelve guineas; then May told him he should have it for ten guineas. Mr. Partridge then left us, and went out. I followed Mr. Partridge, and in consequence of what he said I returned to the prisoners, and said Mr. Partridge would only give nine guineas. May, with an oath, said he would be if it should come in for less than ten guineas. May was tipsy. Bishop called me on one aide, and told me not to mind May, fir he was drunk, and the subject should come in within half an hour. They then went away, and about a quarter past two o'clock May, Bishop, Williams, and a person named Sheilds, came together with a hamper. Sheilds appeared to be the porter to carry the hamper. May and Bishop carried the hamper into another room, while Shields and Williams remained where they were. On opening the hamper there was a sack, containing a body; when the body was taken out, May and Bishop ob served that it was a fresh one. May being tipsy, turned the body out of the sack very carelessly.— The body was fresh. I made some remarks upon it, and from what I saw I went to Mr. Partridge; 1 asked the prisoners what the body had died of ; they said they did not know, for it was no business of theirs or of mine. I cannot say which said so, but it was said by one of them. The body appeared different from what I expected to see of bodies, for the left arm was held up to the head, and the fingers of the left hand clenched ; I detailed what I had seen and thought to Mr. Partridge, who returned with me to see the body. The two men were then waiting in the other room with the other two men ; after seeing the body Mr. Partridge went out. Some other of our gentlemen saw the body, and their suspicions were ex cited ; Mr. Partridge came to the prisoners, showed them a fifty pound note, stating that he must get that changed and he would pay them. Mr. Par tridge had some gold in his purse, and Bishop re quested him to give him what money he had, and he would call for the remainder. May proposed that Mr. Partridge should give him the note to get changed. Mr. Partridge declined, and left them. In a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, Mr. Rogers came with the po lice, and all the men were taken into custody . . As I was leaving the room in which the body was, Bishop said, " When you pay me, pay me in the presence of Williams only eight guineas ; give me the other guinea, and I will give you half-a-crown." The body was delivered by r a , to the police, together with the hamper and the sack, From my experience I can form an opinion whether the body had been buried or laid out, and I am of opinion this body had not been laid out or buried. Cross-examined by Mr. 0;1mm - in—The conversations were with May and Bishop only. By Mr. CLARESOIC—WiIIiams was in the same room. Mr. R. Partridge, examined by Mr. BODKIN—I min de monstrator of anatomy at the King's College. On Sa turday, the sth of November, about two o'clock, my'as.. tention was called to the dead body by the preceding wit ness. I went to look at the body-, and found very suspi cious appearances about it. None of the prisoners were then present. The suspicious appearances were the swollen state of the face, blood-shot eyes, and the rigidity of the lip. There was likewise a wound over the left temple. The lips were swollen. 1 went to the police before the circumstance of the 50/. note took place, and returned to the College ; I then showed May and Bishop, who were near the stairs leading to the anatomical department, the 501. note, and proposed that change should be got for it, with a view to detain them until the police ar rived. On the following day when the body was at the police station, in Covent-garden, I particularly examined the body. There were several other medical men pre sent ; Mr. Beatnan was one. Externally the muscles were still rigid, a superfici it wound in the tem ple which did not injure the bone ; there was no other mark of injury- externally. Beneath the scalp there was some blood. On opening the body the contents of the chest and abdomen were in a healthy condition. The stomach was filled: The spinal marrow was also ex amined. The brain was perfectly healthy, as well as the spinal marrow, except that in cutting through the skin at the back of the neck a quantity of coagulated blood was found in the muscles ; on removing the spinal cord some blood was also found ; some coagulated blood was also found opposite the muscle. There was blood un-coagu lated in the rest of the spinal canal. The spinal marrow or cord was itself perfectly healthy. Those internal marks of violence were sufficient to produce death. By Mr. Justice TlNDAL—Violence appeared to have been exerted to produce that effect on the spinal cord. By Mr. BODKIN—The violence might have been pro duced by the blow of a stick on the back of the neck, and that might produce a rapid, if not an instantaneous, death. Cross-examined by Mr. CURWOOD—From external ap pearances I cannot tell that it had come to a violent death. My conclusion is from suspicion and belief. I cannot conceive any other application that would produce those appearances than by blows. Mr. George Beaman, a surgeon, examined by Mr. Anomaus—l am surgeon to the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden. On Saturday night the sth of November I first saw the body of the deceased. I examined it par ticularly with other surgeons. It appeared to have died very recently. I should judge that it had died within thirty -six hours. The face appeared swollen, the tongue swollen, the eyes blood-shotand the tongue pro truding between the lips. The teeth had been all ex tracted—the gums bruised—portions of the jaw broken out with the teeth, and appearances of blood on the gums. The teeth must have been taken from the gums within two or three hours after death. I examined the throat, neck, and chin very minutely, and I have no doubt the body had not been laid out regularly. On examining the body a secondtiene - more particularly I found on the neck or throat no mark of violence. I then withdrew the scalp, and on the top of it I found a patch, which must hare been produced by a blow during life. The ap• pearances of the brain were such as were described by Mr „Partridge. On the track part of the neck I found from three to four ounces of coagulated blood amongst the muscles. That blood must have been effused whilst life had existed. On removing a portion of the spine to examine the spinal 'marrow, a quantity of coagulated blood was found lying in the spinal canal, which no doubt caused Orel). Those ap pearances, no doubt, were caused by a blow of some !find, There was about an ounce of blood in the spinal canal. The stomach and heart were perfectly healthy. From all appearance+ I should think there had b een near l y instan taneous death. The stomach contained a tolerably full meal, anti smelt slightly of ruin ; digestion was going on at the ti lie of death, and I should think that death oc eiirred about three hours after the meal. The coats of the stomach ti:ei - e perfectly healthy. I ascribe the death of the body to a blow at the back of the neck. Cross examined by Mr. 13a ititv—/ found no ex ternal injury at the b ick of the neck ; a severe blow at the back of the neck would not necessarily produce an external mark of violence. It would only produce an external mark, where the person lived some time after the blow. If a person fell down in a tit of apoplexy, I should hardly believe such appearances in the neck would be produced. By Mr. Anat.entis 7 4 never saw a case of serous apo plexy in which the brain was not injured. By Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—The deceased was about fourteen or fifteen years old. The body bore no appear. ance of apoplexy. Frederick Tyrrell ) a surgeon cf St. Thomas's Hospital, examines' by Mr. CLAitxsost-1 have heard Mr. Beaman's evidence, and in all the material points of it I agree. I have never known an instance of what is called serous apoplexy, that was not denoted in the brain. lam a lec turer on anatomy, and hold several public appointments. John Earle Rogers examined by Mr. BonKIN—I am an inspector of police. Mr. Tyrrell was here recalled, and in answer to a ques- tion by Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, he stated that the appear ances in the spinal canal were produced by violence. Rogers's examination was continued—On Saturday, Nov. 5, I received the body and the hamper from the witness Hill, and gave them into the custody of Mr. Thomas, the superintendent. John Wilson, a police-officer, sworn—l apprehended the prisoners at King's College. May resisted a great deal, and struck me, because I would not let him and Bishop talk together. Joseph Sadler Thomas, a superintendent of F divi sion of police, sworn—On the afternoon of Saturday, November 5, from certain information I dispatched Rogers and Wilson to the King's College. They returned with May and Williams. Before them Bishop and Shields were brought to the station house ; Rogers also brought the body, sack, and hamper. I asked May what be had to say, for he was charged with having improper possession of the subject. May said he had nothing to say, for the subject belonged to Bishop, and that lie had only accompanied him to get the money. I asked Bishop how he gut it, and he said it was his, and he was merely removing it from Guy's to King's College. I then asked Williams about it; and he said he knew nothing about it, for lie merely went with the others to see the College. I asked Bishop what he was, and he replied, " I am a body-snatcher." The prisoners laboured under the effects of liquor, particularly May and Bishop. May was carried in on all fours, his smock ' frock over his head. I ordered the body to be taken out of the hamper and placed on the table. It struck me as the body of a person who had recently died. Blood trickled from the mouth ; the front teeth were all out. In consequence of information, I went on the following Tuesday to Mr. Thomas Mills, Newington Causeway, and received twelve teeth, which I now produce. I also went on the Gth to No. 3, Nova Scotia Gardens, and in the front room found a trunk now produced On the 20th November I went to the same cottage, and making a fur ther search, I found a hairy cap in the front pa7lour amongst some thirty linen. I now produce it. I also found a tin can there. Henry Lock examined—l was in November waiter at the Fortune of War public-house, Giltspur-street. On Friday, Nov. 4, I saw the prisoners there at eleven o'clock in the morning. They had some drink, and went away together about twelve o'clock. There was a strange man with them. About three o'clock in the afternor n they came again, and remained until about five, and then went away together. About eight o'clock the same evening they all returned, with another man, who appeared to be a coachman. Before the coachman left, one of the pri soners said they had had a ride. About nine o'clock May went to the bar with something in a handkerchief, which proved to be teeth. I saw him pour water upon the handkerchief, and rub it with his hand. He afterwards opened the handkerchief, and I saw the teeth. I observed to him that they appeared to be young ones, and were worth a few shillings. May said they were worth 2/. to him. The prisoners shortly afterwards left. On the fol lowing morning I saw Bishop and Williams about eight o'clock, accompanied by Shields. Bishop, addressing Williams, asked, " What shall we do for a hamper ?" Williams made no answer. Bishop requested Shields to go over to the hospital (St. Bartholomew's) to get a hamper, but he refused to go. Bishop then went out, and shortly returned with a himper. They then all left together, and I never saw them again until they were in custody. Thomas Wigley examined—l am a porter at coach-offices. On the 4th November, about half-past seven o'clock in the evening, I was in the Fortune of War, when Bishop came in, and was followed in a few minutes after by May. I heard What do you think of our new ono—did he n o t go Bishop say, " up to him well and collar him—was he not a game one ?" May said " I don't know what you mean." Bishop said " That's all right." May saw me sitting in the corner of the room. May got up and went out, and in a few minutes returned with a handkerchief in his hand, which he was rubbing with his hand. In a few minutes Williams came in,and Bishop observed, " here he comes, I knew he was a game one." Bishop said to May during the conversation, " You stick to me, and I will stick to you." J ames Seagrave, driver of a cabriolet, sworn—On the even ing of Friday the 4th of November, I was with my cabriolet on the stand in the Old Bailey. It was twenty minutes before six o'clock in the evening, and having put the nose-bag on my horse, I went into the public-house to take my tea. I was called out and saw May and Bishop. May asked me if I wanted a job, and said he had a " long job." He took me on one side, and said he wanted me to fetch a " s tiff ' un ," w hi c h I under stood to mean a dead body. I told him 1 did not know, but asked what he would stand ; he said that he would stand a guinea. I said that I had not finished my tea, and that my horse had not done his corn. He said that we would take tea together. I went into the public-house, followed by May and Bishop. Some person in the room jogged me by the elbow, and hinted that the men were " snatchers," and I de termined not to go with them. After tea I went out and drove my cabriolet to the bottom of the rank. I afterwards saw May and Bishop going up to the rank among the coaches, and I drove off, leaving them apparently making a bargain with the coachmen. Cross_examined—l know it was Friday, the 4th November, because I had to attend the Commissioners of Hackney Coaches upon a summons. Thomas Taverner, waterman at the coach stand of the Old Bailey, spok e to the same transaction as the preceding witness. Chandler examined—l was on the 4th November a por ter at the King of Denmark watering-house, in the Old Bai ley. May and Bishop came in with Seagrave, the cabriolet driver, and they had some tea and gin together. I observed May put some gin into Bishop's tea, and Bishop asked, " are you going to locus me or Burke me." I can't say whether it was locus or Burke, I knew May and Bishop before. Henry Mann, a hackney coachman, examined—On Friday, Nov. 4th, about five or six o'clock in the evening, I was on the stand in Bridge-street, 13Iackfriars. May and a strange man came to me ; May asked if I would take a fare, and go with him to Bethnal-green ? I refused to go. I refused because I knew what May was. George Gissing, a boy, examined—l am twelve years old. Igo to school and to church. My father keeps the Birdcage public-house, Crab Tree-road, near Nova-Scotia-gardens. On the evening of the 4th of November, about half-past six o'clock, I saw a yellow hackney chariot draw up opposite my father's house. It is very near Nova Scotia-gardens. I did not see who got out of the chariot. I afterwards saw the prisoner Williams standing on the fore-wheel of the chariot talking to the driver. The chariot waited ten or fifteen minutes. The door was open all the time. Williams went down Nova-Scotia-gardens, and in ten or fifteen minutes he returned and got into the chariot. Then I saw a strange man carrying a sack in his arms, and Bishop holding up one end of it. They put it in the chariot. The sack appeared to he heavy. Bishop and the other man got into the chariot with Williams, and they drove up Crabtree-road and towards Shore ditch Church. The strange man was not one of the prisoners, but he had a smock-frock on. Bishop is believed to be Wil liams's father-in-law, and they kept their wedding at my father's house. Thual , s Trainer, a boy, corroborated the last witness's test mony. Ann Channell examined—l was going by the Birdcage pub lic-house on the evening of the 4th of Nov., and spoke to the circumstances respecting the hackn:y chariot, as detailed before. Thomas Davis sworn—l am porter to the dissecting-room Guy's Hospital. On Friday evening, Nov. 4, about seven o'clock, May and Bishop came to the hospital, May carrying a sack ; I knew• them before; they asked me if I wanted to purchase a subject; I declined to purchase it, and they asked if I would allow them to leave it until the following morning ; I acceded to their request, and locked the body up in a room during the night. Next morning, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, having been out, I returned to the hospital, and ' ascertained that the body had been taken away. I had only seen a foot out of the sack, and I believed It was either that of a boy or a female. The sack produced is similar to that in which the body was. James Weeks, assistant to the last witness, examined.—On—On Friday, Nov. 4, I saw Bi s h op an d M ay b r i ng the sack with a belly in it to Guy's HospitallaThe rack produced VD a hole in it, and resembles that in which the body , s'as brought. The sack .was left at the hospital all night. The following morning, Bishop, May, Williams, and Shields came for The body, and I delivered it to them. The night be fore May and Bishop directed me not to let it go, unless they were both present. They took it away in a hamper, which they brought with them. Shield had rorter's knot. Mr. J. Appleton, curator of Grainger's anatomical Theatre, exaMi . ;:ed—l know the three prisoners. On Fridas',. Nor. 4, about half-past seven O'Cl'e•ck, Bishop and May came and said they had a subject for sale. I aska.! what it was ; they said it was a fresh subject. I asked whether it male or female; they replied a boy about fourteen years of age; I declined to pur chase it. The next morning they called to make the same offer, but I again declined it. They had not the body with them; Thoinas Mills examined—l live at No. 39, Bridge_house. place, Newington-eattSCiVay, and am a dentist. On the sth November, about ten o'clock, May called and offered a set of teeth for sale ; they were twelve human teeth, six for each jaw. I obsCrved that one of the front teeth was chipped. He oil red, as that f&se:s•ed their value, the set for a guinea. He said, " upon my soul to God, they alt belonged to one head not long since, and that the body had never been buried." That was said upon my doubting their being of one set. I gave nird P.N. for the set.— On examining them afterwards, I found some part of the flesh was so firmly attached to them, that I imagined they had been violently taken from the head. The teeth must have belonged to a female or a young subject. May admitted that they belonged to a boy of between 14 and 15 years of age. Those are the teeth produced which I delivered to Mr. Thomas. Augustus Brunn examined through the riletlitim of an in terpreter—l knew a boy named Carlo Ferrier, and brought him from Italy two years ago ; he was about 14 years old, and lived with me about six weeks after he came here. The :2•Sth of July, k 69, was the last time I saw the boy alive. He then lived at Mr, Elliott's, No. :2, Charles , ?lreet, Drury-lane. On the 19th cf November I saw the body of the boy in St. Paul's burial ground, Covent-garden, and I believe it to be the body of that boy ; the size and the hair were similar, but the face was disfigured. Cross-examined—lf I had known nothing about this occur rence, and had seen the body, I should be of opinion he was " my own," By Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—He was in his Lith year. I have not seen him for fifteen months. He might have grown a little in that time, but not much, By Mr. CUR WOOD—At first sight, if any body had asked me who the body was, the fare was so disfigured I could not tell. Joseph Peragure sworn.—l get a living by playing an organ and pipes in the street. I knew Carlo Ferreir, and used to see him every day in Charles-street. Drury-lane. His sister lived in Scotland. and died there. He came to London on the 22d of May, 18:30, and I have known him all that time; I last saw him alive in the Quadrant, Regent-street, at two o'clock on a Saturday, four weeks before I saw his body at the station house. When I saw him in the Quadrant he had a little cage round his neck, with two white mice in it. He was in the ha bit of wearing a cap, but I cannot say whether it was of cloth, leather, or skin. The leather shade of the capproduced was of foreign manufacture. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seve►a o' Clock. THE TRIAL CONTINUED. Mary Paraguri wife of the preceding witness, stated, that on Tuesday, November I, she saw the deceased in Oxford-street, near Hanover-square. He had a cage like a squirrel cage, and two white mice in it. She did not speak to him. He wore a cap, but she could not tell what sort f oneo it was. She had seen the body of that boy at the station-house in Covcnt.garden. Andrew Colla, of No. 4, Gre it Saffron-hill, bird-cage maker -1 knew the deceased boy, by seeing him in thestreets, and saw him lately in Oxford-street. I have seen the body at the station house, and believe it to be the body of the boy I have seen in the streets. When I saw him in Oxford,streef, he had white mice in a cage, and a tortoise. The cap produced was similar to that which he wore. He also wore a blue coat and grey trousers, with a large patch on the left knee of the latter. (The trousers, which had been dug up in Bishop's garden, were here produced.) The witness examined them, and stated he believed them to be the same as those the deceased had worn, and he poinied out the patch in the knee of them. John King. a boy, sworn—l shall be ten years old next Christ mas. Igo to chapel, and know the consequences of telling a lie. I live at No. 3, Crab-tree-road, facing the Bird Cage public house, and near Nova Scotia Gardens. I remember one day when my mother washed, seeing a boy near Nova Scotia Gar dens. I believe it was the Thursday before Guy Faux.day. I was looking out of the window, and the boy had something, but my mother would not let me go to see what it was. I behave it was a little cage that he had, and it was slung from his neck by a string. He was standing still. He had a brown cap, with the leaf or shade lined with green, exactly like this cap (the one produced). I was looking at him for a few minutes. Cross-examined—lt was the first floor window from which I saw him, yet I could see the lining of his cap shade. Martha King, the sister to the last witness, aged eleven years, sworn—On the Wednesday or Thursday before Guy Fawkes Day she saw the Italian boy, as described by her brother. He was not one minute's walk from Bishop's house, and she had never seen him since. John Randall, a labourer, sworn.—l live near Nova Scotia Gardens. On Thursday morning, Nov. 3, I saw an Italian boy, about nine or ten o'clock, near Nova Scotia Gardens. Ile was standing under the window of the Bird Cage public-house, and had a box or cage, with two white mice. He had on a blue coarse jacket, a brown fur cap, but I did not notice his trowsers. The cap and jacket were similar to those produced. Sarah Trucby, wife of John Trucby, sworn.—My husband is landlord of Nos. I, '2, and 3, Nova Scotia-Gardens, and I have been in the habit of letting the houses, and receiving the rents. I let No. 3to Bishop's wife In June, 1830. Bishop and his wile resided there until kie was taken into custody. I have often seen Bishop there. I let the house No. 2 last July to the prisoner Williams, who then went by the name of Head. Williams oc cupied it six or seven weeks, and it was afterwards occupied by a person named Woodcock. It was a few weeks empty. There are gardens behind the houses, and lose fences between, but there is a communication from No. I and No. 2 to No 3. because there was a well for the use of the whole in Bishop's House. There is a privy at the bottom of Bishop's garden. I hare ssen Williams several times at No. 3, after he lett No. 2. I have also seen Williams's wife there. . _ William Woodcock, a boy, stated that he lived with his fa ther, at Igo. 2, Nova Scotia-gardens, next door to Bishop's house; he knew Williams, and had seen him there ten times, and hati also seen Williams's wife washing in Bishop's house—saw W liam s there two or three days before Guy Fawkes' day, walking in the garden smoking a pipo. . . . . Abraham Keymer, landlord of the Feathers, Castle-street, Bethnal-green, sworn.—On the night of Thursday, the 3d of November, Bishop, and he believed Williams also, came to soy house. It was near twelve o'clock. My house is about 200 yards from Nova Scotia-gardens. They had a quartern of ruin and half a galloiti of beer, and I lent them a can to carry it. The con produced was that which he lent them. Wm. Woodcock sworn.--I went to reside at No. 2, Nova Scotia-gardens on the 17th October, next door to Bishop. Wil liams, 1 have reason to believe, also lived with Bishop. I lived in No. 2, until after the prisoners were apprehended. I know Williams, but did not know Bishop until I saw him at Bow street. The first Sunday I lived there I was digging in my garden, when Williams told him to dig in a certain spot, where he would find some lillies. On Thursday, the 3d of November. I went to bed about half-past nine o'clock. In the course of the night, probably about four hours and a-half after I had gone to bed—l was awakened by hearing footsteps, which I thought were at the back of my premises, but I distinctly heard three men's footsteps in the parlour of No. 3 (Bishop's house.) I remained in bed and heard a scuffle, which lasted for one or two minutes, at the furthest, and then all was silent. The scuffling was in the same room in which I heard the footsteps. Afterwards I heard Bishop's side &ioor open, and also heard the footsteps of two men. There is a side door to Bishop's house. The persons after leaving Bishop's house, I heard come round to the front, and pass by my house. After they were gone, I heard the footstep ot one person in the house. When those two persons returned to the house, I distinctly heard the voices of three persons, one ot which I knew to be that of Williams, After that all became still again, and I went to lest. Cross-examined—l believe the wall between the two houses are but four inches thick. The struggle that I heard I considered at the tune to be a family quarrel. By Mr. Justice LUTLEDALE—Not more than a minute and a half elapsed from the time of the two men leaving unti their return. Hannah Woodcock, wife of the last witness, sworn—She stated that Bishop, his wife, and family, and Williams and his wife, oc cupied No. 3, Nova Scotia Gardens. Joseph Higgins, a New Police constable, sworn—On the I!Ith of November, in consequence of some instructions, I went to No. 3, Nova Scotia-gardens; and on searching it, I found two crooked chesils, a brad-awl and a file. There appeared to be blood on the brad.awl, which at that time looked fresh. I searched May's premises, No. 4, Dorset-street, New Kent-road, on the 11th, and found a pair of breeches, which had marks of blood on the back part, which appeared to be fresh. There was also a waistcoat with marks of clay on it. On the 19th, I went again to Bishop's house with James Wadey. air. Mills, the dentist, was recalled, and examined by Chief Justice TINDAL—The teeth had been forced out; I should think the brad-awl now produced would afford great facility in forcing out the teeth. . _ The - evidence of Higgins was then continued.—When we went to Bishop's house on the 19th we searched the garden behind the. house ; we first attempted it wag an iron red, but finding some thing impeding it, I desired Wadey to dig, and a jacket, tiew sers, and small shirt, were found ; that was about five yards from the back door. In another part we dug up a blue coat, a pair of trowsers with the braces attached to them, a striped waistcoat, which appeared to be a man's, and taken in for a boy, with marks of blood on the collar and shoulder, and a shirt that was torn up the front.—(The witness here produced all those things.)— they were buried, about twelve years of age. The clothes are those which would be useful to boys like the deceased. There were ashes over the place where the clothes had been buried. James Wadey, also a constable, corroborated the last wit ness's testimony. . . Edward Ward, a little boy, six and a half years' old, was next examined—My lather lives in Nova Scotia Gardens. I remember last Guy Fawkes Day, at which time I was in the habit of going to school. I remember my mother giving me a half holiday, but I don't know On what day it was. I went to Bishop's house Bishop has three children, two of them boys. On that day I saw the children in the house, and they showed me a cage with two little white mice; the cage turned round. I had often played with or white Paul's Covent made a v oluntarygarde , :o l et l h n e the legt d eceased h In . the o nco co urse ced, and after a suitab e John Ward, an elder brother of the preceding witness, stated i ir, o ,i i c t ec ' e s ro,bre children er, before rstyh lacite before, urkeAs but never that h. never saw them with a e a ,, that what his brother had just related took place on Friday, 4th . of ex amincd— t November.

This lie agreed to, and his account of the subse. quent transactions was similar to that in the early part of the evidence.) The witness next read Williams's statement. Mr. Win. Burnaby, clerk of Bow-street police-office sworn.— When the brad-awl was produced at Bow-street. May said " That is the instrument with which I punched the teeth out."

The prisoners were then severally called upon for their defence. Bishop stated that he was 33 years old, and had a wife and 'three children. He was !fore:Surly a carrier at Highgate, but for the last twelve years he had ssbtained a living by supplying the various Ifovitals and Anatomlcal Schools with dead bodies, but he declat , rd that he never Was in any manner concerned as improperly obfaktupg subjects. He had been in the habit of vetting bodies from tvOlshouses, and sometimes with the clothes remaining on them. All the gardens about Nova Scotia-garder s were easy of access, and were oniv divided b'- a low, dwarf rail_ Mg. As to the wearing-apparel P 01.11,14 in the garden, be knew nothing ; but, regarding the cap, he said he should prove that his wife purchased it of Mrs. Doddswell, who kept dsale-shOp in Hoxton Old Town. As respected the prisoners Williams and May, they knew within , of the manner in which he got the body, and he declared that ' he only got it in the way by which subjects were usually obtained. Williams, in his defence, stated that he knew nothing of the means by which the body was procured by Bishop, who invited him to go td the King's College. Ile, Williams ' was not in the habit or dealing With subjects, but got his living by working as a glass-blower. Ma) 1., isis defence said, he was 30 years old and was marries!, And formerly seas a butcher, but for the last six years he had fol lowed !the trade of dealing in subjects and supplying them to hospitals. On the day when he met Bishop at the Fortune of War public-house, it was merely by accident, when Bishop asked him where he could sell a good subject, stating that he had been offered eight guineas for it. He (May) told him, as was the tact, that he had sold two to Mr. Davis, at ten guineas each, the day wfore, and 'he would try if Mr. Davis would buy that one. Bishop told him he should have all above nine guineas for him sdf, and then he agreed to endeavour to sell it. He assured the Jury that he never asked, and of course, lw never knew, Ism - Bishop got possession of the body. Rosina Carpenter stated that she lived in Nag's Head-court, Golden-lane. On Thursday, Nov. 3, between four and live o'clock in the afternoon, May came to her house, and remained with her until nearly twelve o'clock the next day, not once going out during that tithe, Cross.examined— May has several times passed his nights with her; she did not know whether he seas married or not. Sarah Triesley, who was examined for the prosecution, was called by Mr. Barry. She had never seen any white mice la Bishop's house. Mary Doddeswell, wife of George Doddeswelk of 511, Hoxton Old Town, swore—l keep a clothes and sale shrp for the sale of second-hand goods. My husband is a journeyman pastry conk. I know Bishop's wife, and sold her a cap tied years ago; I should know it again now ; it was a cloth cap with a black front (the cap produced for the prosecution was a fur cap). Bishep—My wife purchased two caps of her. Mr, Doddeswell—l never sold but one cap to Mrs. Bishop. I know nothing of Bishop or his family, but that his daughter lived servant with me twelve months :gy. Mary Anne Hall, of No. 4, Dorset-street, New Kent-road, where May lived, stated that on the 30th October May went into the country, and I saw no more of him until the following Wednesday night, and then he wet,: to bed. The next morning he went out and did not return nntill the Friday night at hall past eleven o'clock. Mr. Thomas stood up, and addressing tha Court, said he wished to iepeat something he had said at Bow-street. The blood on the breeches found at May's resdence was not perfectly dry when they were found. Mr. Edward Wm. Doosen, a iurgeon, stated that he had been subptenied by the prisoners, but he was not aware that he could state any thing. The prisoner's Counsel declined to examine the gentleman. At half -past five o'clock, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE began to sum up the evidence very minutely. The trial was going on when we went to press. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Nine o'clock. At ten minutes before eight o'clock the Jury retired, and remained out till half -past eight, when they returned into Court. The names of the Jury being called over, The Clerkiof the Arraigns asked the Jury ‘vhcther the prisoner John Bishop was guilty of felony and murder or not ? The Foreman answered in an audible voice. which seemed to thrill through the Court.— GUILTY. The same question being put as to the other Prisoners Williams, and May, the:Foreman said BOTH GUILTY. When the announcement was known outside the Court, thousands of people who were anxiously waiting to know the result, shouted and huzzaed aloud, and exulted strongly in the justice of the verdict returned by the Jury. The RECORDER then put on the black cap, and in a solemn and most impressive manner pronounced the sentence of the Court—that the three convicts should be executed on Monday morning next, and their bodies delivered over to the Surgeons to be anatomised. As the Jury retired, the prisoner" May glanced horribly at them as they left the box, but the other two, Bishop and Williams, Bishop par ticularly appeared to possess more fortitude. When the verdict was delivered they all seemed quite astounded, and trembled exceed ingly—gazing wildly about them. Williams, when he heard the verdict, ex claimed—l am a murdered man. May pointed out two persons, whom he said had sworn falsely. While the Recorder was passing sentence of death their fortitude appeared entirely to have forsaken them, and they were led to the con demned cells separately by turnkeys. The impression produced in the Court, at the delivery of the verdict, seemed one of un qualified approbation, and satisfaction at the conviction of the prisoners. When the people outside were assured tl.e prisoners were found guilty, four rounds of ar- p l ause were given. ruE LONDON GAZETTE OF THIS EVENING. DECLARATION OF INSOLVENCY.
