The evidence showed this to be one of the most brutal murders ever committed ; for, as they went to the cottage to rob, they might have done so without any necessity of injuring these poor old people, for what resistance could they have offered to such men as they were ? They might depend upon it no mercy would be extended to them in this world. His Lordship then passed upon them the sentence of death. The prisoners stood unmoved during the whole trial. pEif JE 4D .

The motion that the house should adjourn to Monday, the Bth of April, was then agreed to. OXFORD CIRCUIT. SHREWSBURY, MARCH 22. Elizabeth Griffin, 36, single woman, was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, William Griffin, aged nine months, on the 3d of March, 1861, at Shrewsbury. Mr. Best conducted the prosecution ; Mr. H. Matthews, at the request of the learned judge, de fended the prisoner. Mr. Best, having stated the outline of this pain ful case to the jury, called several witnesses, wh o proved the following facts. It appeared that, in the month of June last, the prisoner was residing in the house of some poor people named Peel, in the town of Shrews bury, and was there delivered of a male child on the Bth of June. She called the child William, and remained there till the month of November, when she took the child to the house of a Mrs. Grist, also at Shrewsbury. While at Mrs. Peel's the prisoner nursed her child and treated it with kindness. 'The child was healthy, but it once had an attack of inflammation of the lungs. The prisoner had no father and no mother living. Mrs. G the i s p t .rbitsaotneedr't b h. r a o t ug a h b t ou h t er the oh e i n ld d t o o f N he o r ve h m ou b s e e r , l o a o s d t placed it with her to nurse, and agreed to pay her 3s. a week. The p r i soner after Rards herself went to lodge "with Mrs. Grist, and stayed there for about a fortnight when she took the child away, one Sunday evening, the 3d of March. She went away with the child about six o'clock in the even ing. The child had not been well at the time Mrs. Grist bad the child. The prisoner returned at be tween eight and nine o'clock in the evening, with out the child. The next day, Monday, the 4th of March, the prisoner said she was going to see the child before she went' to her place, and the next day, Tuesday, the sth of March, in answer to a question, she told Mrs. Grist that she had seen the baby, and it was better, and that it was in Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury. The witness identified a shirt, flannel, and socks found upon the body of the child; also a plaid frock, &c., afterwards found in the prisoner's b ox , an d s h e also spoke to the iden tity of the body of a child which had been shown her. The child was teething while with Mrs. Grist, and suffered from convulsions, and it was to leave in consequence. A man named Robert Ellis, on Sunday, the 10th of March, saw the body of a child on the banks of the Severn, at Monkmoor, about two miles from Shrewsbury. It had en the shirt, flannel, and socks identified by Mrs. Grist, and the body was also identified by her and other wit nesses. - john-Davis, a sergeant of the Shrewsbury police, stated that, on the morning of Wednesday, the 13th of March, he went to the house of the Rev. Mr. Gifford, the master of the grammar school at Birmingham, where the prisoner was in service, and took the prisoner into custody, upon the charge of murdering her child. The prisoner said nothing, but began to cry. The policeman took possession of the prisoner's boxes, of which the prisoner had the key, and brought them tc Shrewsbury. The prisoner was searched, and a key taken from her, with which her box was unlocked in her presence, and in that box were found a hood, a plaid frock, and a pinafore. The first two articles were identified by Mrs. Grist as a part of the clothing which the child had on when the prisoner took it away. The witness stated that the prisoner cried when he took her into cus tody, and when before the magistrates she cried a good deal, and appeared much distressed. Mr. J. D. Davis, a surgeon of Shrewsbury, who had made a post mortem examination of the body on the day after it was found, said there were no external marks of violence upon it, but there were al rbsions on the face, caused, as he supposed, by its floating in the water. The membrane of the brain was slightly congested. The lungs were congested, and contained frothy mucus. The windpipe also con tained frothy mucus and sand, which was also found in the air passages. The right side of the heart contained fluid blond, and the left side was empty. The stomach contained about four ounces of undi gested food, a portion consisting of lumps of potato and meat, either pork or mutton. The surgeon gave it as his opinion that the c!;ild died of suffocation by drowning; but, on cross examination, he that children while teethi ng o ft en su ff ere d 'from convulsions, which would be aggravated by improper food, and that some of the appearances of death by convulsions corresponded with those of death by drowning. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL said perhaps it might be as well for the house to know the order in which business would be taken after the recess. The third reading of the Bank ruptcy Bill would be taken on Monday, the first thing, and then the Post Office Savings Banks Bill, and then the Coal Duties would be moved by his right hon. friend the Home Secretary. On the following Thursday the Navy Esti mates would be proceeded with in committee. NOTICES OF SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. AYRTON gave notice that on Tuesday, 9th April, he should move for a return of the estimated cost of con ducting the business of the Post Office savings banks, and also for a copy of any report of the Post Office authorities on which that measure was based. A statement made by the prisoner before the magistrate was then put in and read. It was in these words :—" I found I could not support both my children and keep myself." Mr. Matthews then addressed the -jury for the prisoner, and contended that the evidence was not sufficient to lead to the conclusion that the child had come to its death by drowning. He admitted that the evidence showed that the prisoner had put the child into the water, but he contended there was no evidence to show that it was alive when it was put there; and he contended it was more reasonable as well as more humane to come to the conclusion that the child had died of convulsions or accidental suffocation, and that it was thrown into the river after its death. Mr. Jutice Blackburn having summed up the evidence to the jury, the latter retired, and, after nearly an hour's absence, returned into court and found the prisoner guilty, at the same time recom mending her to the merciful consideration of the Court " upon account of her helpless and desolate condition." Mr. Justice Blackburn said he would take care that the recommendation of the jury should be for warded to the proper quarter. His Lordship then assumed the black cap, and pronounced the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner in the usual manner. The prisoner, who appeared much affected, and concealed her face with her hands, was then removed. THE INTENDED OUTBREAK AT THE CONVICT PRISON. CHATHAM, MARCH of e o 2 n 2 v . iet Captain Gambier, Director-General Prisons, arrived yesterday from London, and after having an interview with the Governor, Captain Powell, entered into a searching investigation into the causes which led to the intended outbreak which was to have been carried out a few days ago by the convicts at the prison. Their object was to get complete control of the establishment, by first securing the warders, and then barricading the gates of the prison, to prevent the ingress of the military guard and the civil guard of the prison: The inquiry was, as usual, conducted with closed doors. Enough, however, has transpired to show masters, and that the plan laid down by the convicts wa s syste matically arranged to wreak their r even g e on the authorities of the prison. The resu lt of the in q uir y has led to 12 of the worst of th e rin g leaders who were engaged in the plot bein g heavil y ironed. They are kept entirely seclu ded from having an y i n t ercours e whatever with any of the other pri soners ; besides, they a re wearin g a black dress to denote their characte rs, and their only subsistence is bread "and water. It is g enerally believed amon g the officials that t here are u p wards of 100 p risoners who form the ring leaders in these outbreaks. Ever y precau tion is now taken by the authorities to pre vent any hostile move being made without meeting w ith a sure check, as the strength of the military guard is doubled, and the civil guard of with the prison are on duty day and night , their any rifl possiblee s outbreak with ball occurringand capped, ; ready an order was s issued this day to the effect that if any to repress convict warder or an offersassistant witth a the convict is to be immediately shot. It has been long known complained warders' to warder strike when or interfere on duty, against their that eml. i f the' the convicts warders b have v e been duct, the complaints have never been inquired into, and these outbreaks forcibly show some prominent defects in the existing_ penal system carried out at this establishment. One of the warders is suspended in consequence of his showing some lekev•Tarruness in the execution of his duty. During the time of the intended conspiracy he was ordered to open some cell doors where from 30 to 40 convicts were vin confined, they h a • their g had dinner, consequently they had their i k'lves, and as there was a consider able . yelling and hooting afraid to open their cells for fear of some fatal con sequence. Capt. Gambier returned to town yester day afternoon. THE MILL ACCIDENT AT WALMERSLEY.--James Booth, who, as stated in Thursday's Guardian, had his leg broken by a shaft in Messrs. Mills's factory, at Wal mersley, near Bury, died in the Royal Infirmary on Thursday. An inquest was held y esterday by Mr. Her ford, city coroner, and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.

The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyle, and Earl St. Germans.

The resolution was agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be printed and read a third time on the Bth proximo. The house then resumed. SALMON FISHERIES. _ Mr. FENWICK drew the attention of the house to the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the fisheries of England and Wales, and urged the necessity of adopting the recommendations of that committee. THE " KOSSUTH NOTES." Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how Sir Richard Mayne became possessed of, and who translated for him, " the Kossuth Note," manufactured by the Messis. Day, upon which he gave Sir Richard Mayne instructions ; and whether the said note was the same that was afterwards exhibited by Count Apponyi in the Court of Chancery ? Sir G. C. LEWIS, having repeated some of the state ments he had made on a previous occasion, said he under stood that nothing had occurred in consequence of the interview that had taken place between Mr. Day and Sir R. Mayne since the statement he (Sir G. C. Lewis) had made to the house. Sir R. Mayne became possessed of one of these notes in consequence of its having been brought to him by a policeman, and he wished to state most distinctly, on the authority of Sir Richard Mayne, that he never employed policemen, or other persons, to watch the proceedings of M. Kossuth, and that he knew nothing about these notes until the one in question was brought to him. There was no person in Sir Richard Mayne's office that could trans late Hungarian, and the note was accordingly taken to the Foreign-office when the document was translated. At one of the interviews which had taken place be tween Mr. Day and Sir Richard Mayne, the former stated that he acted under legal advice, and he (Sir G. Lewis) acquitted him of any blame. The Go vernment felt bound to submit the note to the Austrian Go vernment,and he referred to the authorityof Lord Lyndhurst and other learned lords to show that any person committing what might be calculated to embroil this country with foreign nations was guilty of a misdemeanour. He there fore felt bound to refer the question to the law advisers of the Crown, who considered that the proceedings in regard to the publication of these notes were illegal, but they did not advise any indictthent or other legal proceedings to be adopted in respect to them. • CONTRACT FOR OILS AND SOFT SOAP.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked if the Govern ment would lay en the table a copy of the last financial despatch which had been received from India ? Earl DE GREY and RIPON said it would not be con venient to produce the report at the present moment. It formed one of a series of despatches, which it was intended very shortly to lay before Paliament, and it would not be advisable that the documents referred to by the noble earl opposite should be now produced separately. In reply to further observations from the Earl of Ellenborough, the noble lord said that the series of despatches mentioned would contain ample information connected with Indian railways, and he thought the documents would be ready in about three weeks. Lord MONTEAGLE thought it was important that the documents should speedily be produced, and it would also be convenient if such returns were annually laid before Parliament, although that system was not now the practice. SYRIA. Lord STRA.TFORD DE REDCLIFFE said he wished to ask a question of the noble lord oppo site with respect to Syria. The conference at Paris had lately had under sits consideration a subject of very great importance, and had decided on the continu ance of the a bccupation of Syria by French troops. This decision was of the utmost importance. It was not in ac cordance with the wishes of :this country, and could hardly be palatable to the Turkish Government. Ho should like to know whether the Government would have any objec tion to lay the papers connected with the Conference before Parliament. Lord WODEHOUSE said it was quite correct that a convention had been signed for the occupation of Syria by the French troops until the sth of June. The papers alluded to would be laid before Parliament the first day on re-assembling after Easter. SC HLE S WIG-HOLSTEIN. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked whether the Government had received any further information than the telegram that had appeared on Tuesday last, stating that Holstein had refused the proposition of the King of Den mark Lord WODEHOUSE said the last telegram was to the effect the noble earl had stated ; but he believed a committee had been appointed by the States to consider the propositions and that it had been advised to reject them. He under stood that a discussion was still going on in the States on the subject, but he thought it probable that the report of the committee would be adopted. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : --Macclesfield Gas, Metropolitan Railway (Improvements, &c.), Dartmouth and Torbay Railway, and Portsea Gas. SUITORS' FUND IN CHANCERY. Lord ST. LEONARDS drew the attention of the house to some correspondenie connected with the funds of the suitors of the Court Or Chancery. The Duke of ARGYLL was glad the noble lord had called the attention of the Government to the subject, and assured him that every consideration should be given to it. MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS. Tn reply to the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, Lord WODEHOUSE said the payments of the money in liquidation of bondholders' claims was to recDmmence on the first day of the present year with 10 per cent, additional to meet the deficiencies that had accrued since the suspen sion of the payment of money was agreed to in the first instance. The charge d'affaires had been instructed to urge the restitution of the 600,000 dollars that had been stolen, and which was undoubtedly the property of British subjects. CHARITABLE USES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned until the 9th of April. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chairat four o'clock. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Kendal Fell, Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction Railway, and Stockton and Darlington Railway (Now Railway at Marsha and Skelton, &c.) Tho Biddenden Road Bill, changed from Biddenden and Stockershead Roads; Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Bill, and South Shields Improvements and Quay Bill, were considered and ordered for third reading. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod summoned the members to the upper house to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills, for which see Lords' report. HER MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE ON THE DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT. Lord BURY, Treasurer of the Royal Household, appeared at the bar of the house, and presented her Majesty's reply to the address on the death of the Duchess of Kent, which was as follows :—" I thank you for your loyal and dutiful address and for your expression of condolence on the death of my beloved mother, and for your interest in everything that concerns me and ray family, which is most grateful to my feelings." PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented complaining of the pres sure of the income-tax, and praying for relief from the im • post ; against the Parochial Assessment Act ; for the adoption of sanitary improvements ; in favour of the borough franchise, from Leeds, signed by 7,000 persons; against the total abolition of church-rates ; in favour of measures for the better observance of the Sabbath. LANDGUARD POINT (SAND DEPOSIT). Captain JERVIS move I an address for copies of memo rials to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by the Corporations of Harwich and Ipswich, dated the Bth of October, 1560, and the 14th day of March, 1861, respecting the increase of sand deposit at Landguarti Point ; and replies thereto : of letters from the Trinity Board, dated the 25th day of October, 1858, and the 10th day of October, 1860, on the same subject; and re plies thereto; of letter from Captain Jervis and Colonel Rowley, dated the 18th day of February 1861, on the same subject, and reply thereto; and, of any memorandums or minutes by the hydrographer of the navy on the same sub ject—Ordered. ARMY. Colonel LINDSAY movsd for an address for a return of the names of those officers of the army who were promoted to the rank of colonel for distinguished service in the field during the war in the East in 1855 and 1856, who, previous to such promotion, were junior lieutenant colonels to Colonel De Rottenburg; showing the date when each of them were gazetted to the rank of colonel, and the numerical position which each of them held in the list of colonels (omitting officers who had not served six years as regimental field officers), before the revision of the list by the Royal Warrant of the 14th day of October, 1858, and also their numerical position after such revision.—Ordered. POST OFFICE (MONEY - ORDER OFFICES). Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved for a return of all losses and defalcations, if any, that hare occurred in the money order offices of the General Post-office in the United King dom, since Jan. 1, 1841.—Ordered. NEW WRIT FOR THE BOROUGH OF TIVER TON.-LORD PALMERSTON. Mr. BRAND moved that the Speaker do issue his warrant for the election of a member for the borough of Tiverton, vacant by the acceptance of the Constableship of Dover Castle and the Wardenship of the Cinque Porte by the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston. (Laughter.) The writ was ordered. THE BUDGET, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as there might be some misunderstanding in consequence of the statement he made the other evening, to the effect that he would make his financial statement about the 11th of next month, he wished to say that it was definitively fixed that he would make that statement on the 15th of next month. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (STAMP DUTY). The report of the committee on the resolution relative to the stamp duty was brought up. Mr. CRAWFORD said that several representations had been made to him during the day on the subject of this duty, and he thought if the amount were reduced from 7s. to ss. upon every ,ElOO it would give great satisfaction. He thought it would be very desirable if the bon. and learned gentle man, the Attorney. General, would give an assurance that if the amount realised by this duty exceeded his expectation, the amount would be lowered. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the bill pro vided for a financial statement being laid before the house every year, and if it should be•found that the stamp duty should prove more productive than he expected, it would afford him great pleasure to propose a reduction. He would move in committee the substitution of ss. for 7s. as the latter amount was introduced by mistake. The report was then agreed to. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENC Y BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, and the followingamendedresolution, in conformity with the state ment of the Attorney-General, was agreed to. Clause 201, page 52, line 20, leave out all after "computed," and insert "at the rate of 7s,upou everyhuudred pounds or fraction of an SALMON FISHERIES. Sir G. C. LEWIS, in reply to the question put to him on this subject, said it was intended by the Government to introduce a bill to carry out the recommendations of the committee after Easter. NAVAL AND MILITARY SERVICES IN CHINA. Sir S. NORTHCOTE called attention to the mode in which the vote of credit of £850,000 for naval and military services in China for the year 1859.60 had been dealt with, and the importance of regulating the system of dealing with unemployed balances for the army and navy services. Mr. F. FEEL said that the £850,000 voted last yeariwas for the purpose of meeting extraordinary expenses in China for 1859-60. TEA AND SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. GREGSON rose to call the attention of the house to the - Customs duties now levied upon tea and sugar, and to suggest to her Majesty's Government to take the subject into their earliest consideration. The hon. member, in doing so, entered into a statement of the advantage which had arisen from the reduction on the duty on tea from ls. 6d. per pound to is. 3d., the reduced duty bringing a larger sum to the exchequer, and he recommended that there should be laid upon sugar one uniform duty. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was sorry that the hon. gentleman had not had a more fa vourable opportunity of bringing this subject—on which he was one of the highest authorities—under the notice of the house. The hon. gentleman had put an adminstrative question as to the classification of the duty on sugar. That was a subject of the greatest difficulty, which embraced not only the classification or non-classification of the lower description of sugar, but involved the question as to whether the uniformity of duty was to be extended to re fined sugar or not. The difference between refined and unrefined sugar was a more question of degree, just as was the difference between other classes of sugar ; but he could not say that the immense difficulty here involved was likely to be overcome within any reasonable time. SIR BALDWIN WALKER. Lord ELCHO asked Lord C. Paget whether, in fulfil ment of the promise made by the First Lord of the Trea sury, that Sir Baldwin Walker should be detained, to en able him to appear before Admiral Duncombe's Committee, he immediately wrote two telegraphic messages, the one to the Admiral at Portsmouth, the other to the Admiral at Plymouth, desiring them to take all possible means to overtake or intercept Sir Baldwin Walker? Whether the cause of these messages not being immediately forwarded by telegraph arose from circumstances over which he had no control, and whether he would state those circumstances to the house ? Also, whether any instructions were sent through Admiral Bruce, or through any other person, to Sir Baldwin Walker, desiring him to go to sea immedi ately, and not to allow himself to be caught F Lord C. PAGET gave a complete denial to all the charges inferentially involved in the question, and repeated his statements as to the steps which had been taken for the purpose of bringing back Sir Baldwin Walker. Sir J. PAKINGTON again asserted that both the Ad miralty and the Government had acted with the greatest impropriety, and had shown great disrespect to the house, irf allowing Sir Baldwin Walker to proceed to sea after the appointment of the commission. It appeared to him per fectly clear, notwithstanding all that had been said, that effectual steps had not been taken to bring back Sir B. Walker, in accordance with the wishes of the house. In conclusion, he wished 1 o know whether there was any truth in the statement that orders had been sent to Ascension for Sir B. Walker to return. After some remarks from Sir J. ELPHINSTONE, Mr. B. OSBORNE said he regretted that Lord C. Paget should have met the inquiry otherwise than by a simple denial, as the subject should have been dropped long ago; as to the member for Droitwich (Sir J. Paking ton), the hon. baronet seemed to be afflicted with a moral monomania about it. (Hear, hear.) Sir B. Walker has already answered a thousand questions on the subject ; and if that were not sufficient, and in order to get him (Sir B. Walker) out of the house, it would be better to send out a commission, consisting of Sir J. Pakington, Sir J. Elphin stone, and Admiral Buncombe, to the Cape, to look after him. (Laughter.) AFFAIRS AT WARSAW. Lord H. VANE called the attention of the House to the recent occurrences at Warsaw, and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government had received any other intelligence of those events than that published In the public papers GENERAL MIRAMON. Lord W. GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had received any information respecting the proceedings of the French Minister in Mexico, and Captain Le Roy, commanding the French brig-of-war, Le Mercure, in assisting the escape of General Miramon, whom the noble lord stigmatised as a burglar and a robber from Mexico; and, if so, whether he has applied to the French Government for any explanation of such proceeding? THE LEBANON. Mr. MONSELL wisiled to be informed what system of Government was to be established in the Lebanon after the withdrawal of the French troops. He stigmatised the Turkish Government as incompatible with the interests of civilisation, and that it was utterly incapable of restraining the fanaticism of the Mahometan population. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was exceedingly inconvenient to have a weekly discussion on questions of foreign policy. In answer to Lord H. Graham, he stated that he had received no official information as to the escape of General Miramon, but he had heard privately that he had been received on board a French man-of-war. In reply to Sir H. Vane, the noble lord stated he had no further intelli gence than that already given respecting the recent events which had taken place at Warsaw. The forbearance of the people did them the greatest honour, especially at the time when six of their unarmed citizens were slaughtered in the streets. The noble lord also stated, with regard to the future government of the Lebanon, that it was a question of the greatest difficulty. A permanent foreign occupation would be an abandonment of the Sovereign rights of Turkey, and he hoped that, when the French troops were withdrawn, affairs would assume a more settled aspect, and the Government of the Sultan be strong enough to compel the people to respect the rights of their fellow subjects, whether Druses or Maronites, In answer to a question put by Mr. Gregory, relative to the fugitive slave Anderson, he said he had no objection to lay upon the table the corre spondence which had passed between the English and American Governments on this subject, but, at the same time, the instructions that were sent to the Governor of Canada should be appended to the return. HARBOURS BILL. Lord HOTHAM next called the attention of the Presi dent of the Board of Trade to this bill, and hoped the right hon. gentleman would seriously consider the subject before he brought it forward. Mr. CLAY said that certain bodies connected with this subject were soon about to meet, and their decision would have the effect of not opposing the second reading, Mr. HORSFALL hoped the right hon. gentleman would postpone it for a time, otherwise ho would give it his un compromising opposition. After a few words from Mr. LINDSAY, Mr. M. GIBSON said that he should be very sorry to geese the bill with any haste which would preclude its proper consideration by all persons interested in it, But Policy taken out in 1838 1841 1845 1848 1851 3,000 4,000 2,000 2,000 2,800 X s. 867 17 749 4 232 18 154 2 120 17 d. 1 £ S. d. 7 1 428 1 4 0 325 16 0 0 156 15 0 8 103 16 8 0 1 72 14 6 Permanent Reduction of Annual Premiums. £ s. d. 56 3 8 32 0 4 16 6 0 10 15 2 6 7 7 The following are amongst the advantages offered by the nternational Life Assurance Society:— The Society was established in 1838.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—TAUNTON, March 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE DUNDRY MURDER. Matthew Wedmore and Charles Wedmore were indicted for the wilful murder of Sarah Waterman, at Dundry, on the 9th of January. Mr. H. T. Cole and Mr. Bere were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Speke defended the prisoners. It appeared that George Waterman and the deceased, who was his wife, both being between 70 and 80 years of age, lived together in a cottage under Dundry-hill. George Waterman was a Chelsea pensioner. He had a cottage and orchard, and he kept a cow, and was considered in the neighbourhood to be a thrifty man, who had saved some little money. The two prisoners were bro thers, and were great nephews of the old man. One of them, Charles, was a private in the Royal marines, and the other, Matthew, was a labourer about the quays of Bristol. A man named Keeble, who had been a policeman, was intimate with the old people. About 7 o'clock in the evening of Wed nesday, the 9th January, as the old people were sit ting, healthy and well, by the fire in their kitchen, they heard a knock at the door. The old man asked who was there, and a voice answered, " It is the policeman John." The old man then opened the door, and there he saw both the prisoners. Matthew immediately struck him a blow on the head with the bludgeon he had in his hand. The old man retreated. Matthew followed him, striking him with the bludgeon until, he knocked the old man down ; he was almost unconscious. Matthew then dragged the old man by the collar into the back kitchen, and then dragged him upstairs. Charles followed, and he ransacked the room while Matthew stood over the old man. They asked him where his money was, and he told them in a box. Charles found two loaded pistols, which the old man was in the habit of keeping under his pillow. He pointed one at him and said, " Kill him ; we don't mind killing people." The old man begged them not to injure his wife. Charles said he had put her to sleep. Matthew then dragged the old man downstairs again. The prisoners said they wanted something to eat, and Charles took a loaf and cut some bacon that was hanging up, and wrapped them up in a handkerchief. They asked the old man for a rope, and he told them where there was one. They got the rope and then dragged the old man into the back kitchen, and Matthew tied the old man's hands and feet to gether, and then tied him up to the rack, and told him not to move for 20 minutes, and then to call his wife to release him. The prisoners then went away. The old man contrived to get loose and went into the kitchen, where he found his wife lying on the floor alive, but almost dead. He tried to raise her up, but was so much exhaus ted from the loss of blood that he could not succeed. He then crawled out to the next cottage, some 300 yards off, and gave an alarm. Some persons re turned with him to his cottage; they found the old woman still breathing, but insensible. A surgeon was sent for and he examined the poor old woman, and found her lying in a pool of blood, with her skull fearfully fractured, evidently by three sepa rate blows. There was a pair of tongs lying near her, with blood and hair on them. She lived for about two hours, and then died, evidently in con sequence of the injuries she had received. The old man was for some time in a most dangerous state, but at length he rallied and got well. Upon search ing the house they discovered that some money, two silver watches, a brace of pistols, and a bunch of keys were missing. Information was immediately given to the police. Suspicion rested on the prisoners, who had been together that day in the neighbourhood of Dundry. The next morning the police got upon the track of the prisoners, and about 8 o'clock in the evening they traced them to the Hot Mills, and saw them walking along the road. One of the police, named Morse, went towards Charles, who ran away for about 40 yards, and then turned round and fired a pistol at Morse, which fortunately missed him. Matthew was then seen trying to get something out of his pocket, but the police were too quick for him, and found he had a pistol in his pocket, loaded and capped. They were then taken into custody. Blood was found on both their shirts. The pistols found upon them were the property of the old man, and had been taken away on the night of the murder. The prisoners were seen together on the morning after the murder at a beerhouse at Bristol. They had then two silver watches in their possession, which they got a person to pledge for them in Bristol. Those watches were the property of the old man, and had been taken away on the night of the murder. On the 14th of January Charles Wedmore desired to make a statement relative to the murder, and on the 18th of March Matthew Wedmore also made a statement. Both these statements corroborated the evidence of the old man, only each prisoner laid the actual murder on the other. Mr. Speke then addressed the jury on behalf of body of prisoners. He complained that a g reat of evidence had been sprung upon him that day of which he had not been aware, for it was only since he had come into the court that he knew of the statements which the. prisoners had made, and several of the witnesses who had been called had not been examined before the magistrates. He should, however, contend that, in point of law, they could not be convicted of murder, because no one could say which of the prisoners had struck the blow which had caused the death, and then he urged that there had not been any common intent or purpose between these two men. The statement of one prisoner was not evidence against the other, and each had laid the offence upon the other. Charles said it was Matthew and Matthew said it was Charles. Was there any common design to do anything to carry out their purpose ? He submitted that they had heard no. thing , to show it. Mr. r ' Baron Martin said that if these two m en went with the intent to commit a robbery and of using violence if it should be necessary, and that the violence of either led to the death of a person, they were both guilty of murder. If they believed the evidence that had been given, it was his duty to tell them that both these prisoners were guilty of murder. The evidence of the old man was one of the moat extraordinary he had ever heard, for ito =try node of ld ice:of , but o un mmer The there .ates ; tions, r seed 5s 9d 3s Od le, at ;o 7id to 8d ,o Which ions. oats 549 leans ; st. ; . for o 350 0 379 o 329 o 589 0 45s ) 565 ) 265 ) 545 awl P 170 Own. ars, a in and
