The evinence of the woman in whose house the prisoners resided went to I.novc that they dia not sleep at twine on the night of the imputen robbery: To those two witnesses the t vii!ence was confined, and against it there appeared no thing ttp , na the trial, except the declarations of the prisoners, containing facts which were after wards shorn to by others, and which, alter the utiiiust labour 'of at :ew benevolent persons, were the means of savi,,g the innocent prisoners from. a death which appeared to all to be inevitable. The two soldiers were upon the ead of July drinking at an hodr too late fur admission at their lodging at Wolverhamp 'ton, and; alter applying in vain to be allowed to go Alto the guerd-root, to sleep, walked about the village to kill time.— In loitering . through the church-yard, they met a man wine seemed to be in want of work, and, like themselves, without a lodging for .the night. A conversation ensued, and the. stranger told therti his name was Read; that be was a brick layer's labourer, out of employment, and a Hertfordshire man. It happened, that in hi; description he hit upon the part of the country frOrn which one of the prisoners came. — A jesting dialogue took place between them, and at length it was agreed that they SllOlllll wrestle. Hall was, the friendly (ippon, ist of Read upon the occasion, and he was I'M/WM in the first round of wrestling. In the second, however, ,Hall was , more successful in the feat of 'activity, but ilia triumph firmly robbed Hint of his . life. The' vanquish ed Unto dropped a shilling and a penny fenin his psicert.---• Morrison immediately picked up the money, said it Would do for beer, and pat it in his pocket. The soldiers qinezesTfteed about his loss, and Were heard by a watchman near the Spot acknowledging that they had the'shilling, would certainly dispose of it in the most convivial way. Read growled about his money, and showed a disposition to quar rel, but did not utter a Word about his being robbed of it.. At about the o'clock in the 'morning, the three were seen near the market-place by another watchman, and the soldiers were bantering itt-ad upon the seine subject. The good hu mour of Read, flowerer, at this time appeared quite becnkeit 'up; he spoke of having the soldiers taken into custody, but was answered by a laugh front them. A grocer, named Powise saw them all under similar circumstances, and heard Read, complain of no attempt at robbery, but saw that he was not pleased at being laughed at. The grocer soon after met a man named Roberts, the- keeper of the House of Correction at Wolverhampton, and mentioned to hius. that Read said two soldiers had got his money. The answ'e'r of Roberts, which did nut strike the grocer as extraordinary at first, was, " I must see that man ; this is a good job.' The event, however, soon explained the language. It:Meets immediately inquired after Read, questioned him upon the fuss he had sustained, and in a rely ,!Burt linos &yens:le:tided the two soldiers upon the charge of robbing Read in the Well way of a shilling and a penny. before the Maeistrete, Read swore Linn the soldiers knocked him down and roiebed bins of his money in the church-yard. Their commitinent was immediately made out, and they were sent to the Assizes of Stafford, where, on. the Saturday following, they were tried and coudenanesi fur the. capital offence. live itabibie tents of Wolverhampton knew' nothing of the intention of Bead upon the interference of Roberts in this transaction. 11 was generally concluded amongst them thet the angry mete of tined in which Read appeared would have iiltitleneell hint to swear a common assauit, but nothing serious was in all ap prehended from the wrestling bout. There was consespient let no interference upon the part of those %rho wefe acquainted with many of the circumstances ; and the 'matter died away until the village was struck with horror et an accouot in thin Staffers' Paperof the proceedings of the. Assizes. An old wen aces reading the paper in stn :de-house to a imodier of 'nane, who were not much aeectsd atenny thing they breed mitt) he came to that part which stated the number of persons left. for execution. Amongst the entities were those rut ljuit and slorrison. The whule popolation of Wolverhampton in stantly showed how they felt upon au occasion so dreadful. The Rev. Mr. Civard, one of the must venerable Characters in that part of the country, who officiates in the village wheys Hall's family resides, upon healing the event of the trial, set oat for Wolverhampton, where lie found the people already meeting and acting upon the subject. The men were to be hanged this day (Saturday), and not a moment was to be lost. Mr. Guard, who had known Hall from his infancy, and cement have staked his life upon the integrite of the young man, made a quick but deep Inquiry into the facts, and having found ere'?' thing cantirmatory of his 'innocence, foilseived Baron Garrote on bus cireuit to state what be had leerned from the very best authority, and obtain it respite- He saes Mr. Baron Garrow, but his Lordship appeared to sec no rea son to alter the opinion which he had trout hearing the trial. The worthy clergyman, however, %N'aS so well CUM' lilted of the truth of his own information, that the cuut,l Ha help ex claiming, with mere zeal than discretion, " I see you are determined to hang these poor men." Me. baron Usne cw was naturally offended at this intemperate observe, ion , all d an emi nent Barrister remarked, that Mr. Guard's object was wholly ' defeated by the use of it. Mr. Guard was not, however, to he turned from the endeavour tosave the lives of the two soidiers & there was another quarter to which he could apply. Lie im mediately came to town, and wee t without ceremony to Lord Sidmouth, to whom he obtained an easy access. He re mained iii conversation with his Lordship between three and four hours, and Lord Sian - meth afterwards declared, that hit never in his life saw' such au interest taken in the tate of men who were nut related by domestic ties to the indivi dual whom he was labouring to save. This meeting gave Mr. Guard hopes : though Lord Sidmouth had observed, that in cases of this kind ; the Judge was necessarily better ac quainted with all the bearings of the evidence than the Secre tary of State, and therefore his power was seldom interfered with except coder circumstances of strong fact.. Mr. Guard pasted back to Wolverhampton the liniment after he parted horn the Secretary. A meeting of the iehabitents was dialed, at winch Mr. Mender, and all the other respectable residents Wolyerhemptun, attended. The witnesses were sworn, and a petition to the Prinee Regent was signed•and delivered I into the hands. of Mr. Guard, who, accompanied by Charles Mousier, eery soon after arrived in town. Thew two Gentleman went, with Mr. Pearsall, of Cheapside, to Lord Sisfieouth, and pin into his hands tine .evidence of inno cence of the soldiers. Hi. Lordship requested that Mr.Pear sail would relate the circumstance. That Gentleman then. repeated the manner in which Read and the two soldiers had ected in the presence of the watchmen and the grocer. Lord Sidmuntin was just goiog up with the Recurdex's Report, asei said, that upon his return he would examine the atlidavitsened act upon them. Mr. Pearsall observed, that the men Wet ordered fur execution on Saturday, but, was assured by his Lordship that their case should not be neg!ectea, and that the 'stint: Wits should be laid before the Attorney-Odneral. • Upon the next meeting Lord Sidinouth Said theft had beers no necessity for laying tine affidavits before the Attinney-Cle neral.
