laonedary,and the police, having known the characters
of these men, determined to remain about the neighbour-
hood. Between 11 and 12 on that night the constables
went to the house of a farmer named Squibb, andhad a
glans of ale there. Whilst there they heard a cart
coming from the direction in which they had previously
seen that with the prisoners going. They immediately
followed it, and overtook it as it was going up a hill
not no very far from Mr. Squibb's house. Old
Hutchings was also then driving, and the cart, which
had previously appeared empty, was then apparently
heavy laden. Cox went up to the cart, took hold of
the head of the pony, and linked them what they had
got there. Stacey went to the tail of the cart to
endeavour to see what it was. The reply from one or
other of the prisoners was "it is no difference to you
what we have got." Cox then said "We intend to find
out," upon which one of the men called out "Let go the
horse's head." Cox replied "You will have to kill me
first." (Inc of the prisoner+ then said "We will do for the
h---," and Stacey, who was standing at the back of
the Art, heard a heavy blow struck. The horse
started forward some yards, and Stacey then saw Cox
in a sitting position on the side iif the road. He went
towards him and the poor fellow said " the have
struck me; look mat, they are coming again.' The
prisoners were some little distance off, but turned,
the old man coming back on one aide of the cart, and
the three others on the other, and saying they would
do for both the h—s. Stacey was then attacked by
them. He defended himself as well an he could; but
he was brutally beaten over the heal, and in a very
short time was knocked into the ditch insensible.
Stacey remained insensible for some considerable time,
allti when he came to himself he found himself alone.
Seeing a light from a house some distance off he went
arkstr acmes one or t fields until he reached the residence
of a Mr. M a farmer. Ile told him what had
taken place, an ey went back with a horse and
cart, and about t or 60 yards down the hill in a
different direction to where the cart was going they
found the body of Cox. It was evident from the
multi iii the road there had been a terrific struggle.
The dead man still retained his staff in his hand, but
it was broken, and it was, evident he had either been
beaten or kicked to death. His head was calumet

A SONIERSETSHIRE BREACH OF PROMISE,
At the Somersetshire assizes (before Mr. Justice
Hawkins), Arundel Augusta Davies sued Thomas
Goddard, by her next friend, her neither, for a breach
of promise oof marriage- Mr. Cole, q c., met the Hon,
Claude Vivian were fir the plaintiff ; and Mr. Collins,
q.c., and Mr. Norris for the defendant Mr. Cole, in
his opening, sobl the case lie had to lay before theni
WAN isle that woold require their careful consideration,
and it woo a very painful one. The plaintiff was a
young holy, eighteen years of age, the daughter of very
respectable parentage. Her father had been a trades-
man living at Ilate..mbe, a baker and grocer, who had
a retail lieer !nosiness. Ile died when she was a child,
and his o idow continoted the bushiest; to the present
time. The deferulant was the son of a farmer of con-
siderable respectability in the same parish. The two
families lived very near one soother, awl their families
luel been .aoinainted all their lives. The plaintiff and
the olefembott went to the same school in the village,
and were at stoles,' boo something like seven years. He
-.other

fact it was admitted—that on that night they had gone
to various places and drunk several classes of ale and
cider. At eleven o'clock, when the cart passed by the
house of Mrs. Squibb, the constables probably had a
little more drink than was absolutely necessary for
their health. The Hutchingses and Baker, who all
lived in the neighbourhood, wereout that night—there
was not the slightest gustation of identity—ad they had
• perfect right to be, with a pony and trap, the old
man driving and the others walking. What their
object was was not a legitimate subject of present
enquiry, and was not material to the issue. Cox,
without the slightest authority or excuse for his con-
duct, marched up to the pony s head and stopped it.
Could they believe otherwise than that he hail his staff
drawn? Stacey did not see it because he was at the
back of the cart, but admitted having his own staff
drawn. What would any of them do under similar
circumstances? A constable hail no right to stop the
cart, unless he had reasonable ground for suspecting
that a felony had been committed, or unless he had
special instructions to do so, and any blow or violence
inflicted on the policeman was brought on by his own
conduct. He dared say Col did not really mean
"You'll have to kill me first." any more than one of
the four meant by saying "Well do for both the—."
If they took notice of such expressions from rough
people they would expect to find half the entire
population killed In one night. Were the jury, who
were not present at the occurrence, prepared to say
positively what Stacey, who was there, could
not say—that the blow he heard, but did
not see, was struck at the head of Cox? The blow
was undoubtedly struck ; but might it not have been
struck at the horse, the harness, or the side of the
I cart? Even lithe blow alighted on Con's head, it did
;sot appear to injure him seriously, because he pulled
the horse's bead to the side of the road, and the horse,
being struck or whipped, sprang forward, and then it
was perfectly possible the aaimal knocked Cox. A
blow was heard to be struck, and the next moment
COI was seen sitting down by the side of the hedge.
Owing to a blow, the horse moved on, and Stacey,
staff in hand, stuck on to the tail of the cart. He saw
Cox in the road, and after Cox had said, "They have
struck me; look out, they are coming again," the
whole affair Was shrouded in mystery, and no living
tongue could tell what took place, as the prisoners'
months were shut. It did not appear that Cox wgut
then seriously hurt, and Stacey said, although it was
a very dark night, the three younger men came round
to one side of the cart, and the old man from the off
side of the cart. He would not swear that the old
man struck him g all, and he would ask them to say
he was mistaken about the old man getting off the
cart, as the old man was riding when they overtook
the cart, and the night was dark. Then, no doubt,
hot blood was aroused; these men's passions were
excited, wrongly or rightly, and, there was no doubt
about it, there was an onslaught made on Stacey ; but
it struck him as curious that Stacey had no marks
worth speaking of upon him; and all he had was what
Mr. Marsh described as a bunch about the size of •
hen's egg on his head. He did not like to say anything
against Stacey ; no doubt, poor fellow, he was knocked
about on the occasion ; but be did not think his evi-
dence was given properly. No doubt he got talking
about the affair in the hospital, being in a ward all day
long, and, as the only survivor of the police force on
that occasion, naturally he talked to the nurses and
other people there. Was it not possible when Stacey
was knocked down into the ditch that Cox got up and
recommenced the affray himself? They could not tell
who kicked has brains out; it was not likely that all
four of the men did it. Was it not probable that the
old man never got out of the cart at all—(Prisoner : I
did not get out of the cart, my lord.]—and that the
other men had • row with Con? The doctor's evidence
went to show that the injuries were inflicted by a stick
or kicks, and unless the jury were satisfied that all
four men went after him with the common object, how

The body was taken in v. cart
the following day Baker was apprehended, and at the
time he warn taken into custody be was wearing large
and heavy boot., which he "'imbed to be allowed to
change. This of course was refused him and his boots
were sent to an analyst at Bristol, and on them were
found two human hairs.—Upon that point Mr. Collins
said he should not lay much stress, as people walking
about had many opportunities of picking up hairs.--
Upon his remand before the magistrates he said "I
own I was roe of the pasty; but I did not kill Cox, I
only knocked him down," Nothing more was seen of
the Hutchingses until the next day, November 17,
when about 9 in the morning they were seen in
the neighbourhood of Beaminster, a place about five
or six miles from where the murder was: committed.
They there enquired their way to Maiden Newton, and
were seen washing themselves in a brook by the road
side. Although they lived not very far from where
the murder was committed, nothing more war heard
of them until January 20th in this year, when Giles
and George Hutchings were, it will be remembered,
brought to the Yeovil Police-station in the clittody of
Vega, the butcher, in whose holm Peter was no
mysterioualy stowed away. At that time they were
in a wretched condition, and had evidently been
undergoing very great hardships. Mr. Supt. Bisgood
upon that had Vagg's house searched, and, concealed
behind a quantity of wood, was Peter. Vogg was
afterwards charged before the Yeovil magietrates with
the name offence am the Richardsee, but he was
discharged! The evidence against the Richartiees IVY
fully gone into at Dorchester, and by us
fully reported. It wee in effect that they drove the
men in their cart for a number of miles in the neigh-
bourhood of Blandford on the morning of the murder.
STACEY IN THE WITNIMIS-BON.
The constable Stacey was the first witne‘s
He appeared to have improved in health since the
hearing before the magistrates. He wag dressed m
plain clothes, and stood close to the judge. His
evidence was given very firmly, perhaps a little too
brusquely, but the cross-examination by Mr. St.
Aubyn, failed to shake his testimony. He said
Cox was a more powerful man than he was, and they
were both perfectly sober.
Cox had been some rap in the neighbourhood.
Yeovil Fair, held on theday .if the murder, WM
a big one. Among places they went to that
night was the Red 'House Inn, and also to
a kdaCe called Closworth, and had something to
drink at each. When he was in the hospital he had
no open wounds' he had bruises on his head. A
woman named 'riddle was an attendant at the
hospital at the time, but she had since been die-
miased. He never told her they had been baring
drink on that night. A man named Hicks was
patient at the same time, but he would solemnly swear
be did not say to him that they had been drinking,
and that it warn all Cox's fault, and he was very fooliala
in doing what he did. He (StaceY) had drawn his
staff before he got up to the cart, because he expected
what was going to follow. He could not say about COL ;
Asked by Mr. St. Aubyn if he had seen the woman
Priddle there that day, Stacey replied no, and be
didn't want to.
Mr. St. Aubyn : What do you mean sir by that?
That's not the way to answer my question. WWI
made you say that'
Stacey : I merely said it. I don't know as I had any
reason.
What were you struck with, asked the counaeL A
bludgeon, said Stacey.
What do you mean by a bludgeon "I'd show you
if I had one" said the constable, without a smile.
Mr. St. Aubyn wanted to extract from the witnea
that it was nothing more than a walking stick, but
Stacey stuck to his favourite term, a bludgeon.
A formidable weapon, about the size of a mads
wrist, and three or four feet long, wan throw produced.
It had been found some distance from the some of the
murder.

recourse to violence at the risk of other men's lives,
and to deter others fries similar conduct, is quite certain.
I hope your fate will be a warning for ethers not to set up
their own lawlesa will in committing such outrages. The
sentences is that you be kept in penal servitude for 24
years. As regards George Hutchings, I confess I should
have been better satisfied if the jury had said, "Not
guilty." I doubt whether you participated in the crime
of the others to the extent to which you have been guilty.
I shall submit your case to the Secretary of State, and
possibly you may lie spared from the punishinent which
awaits the rest. With regard to the rest of you, I am
perfectly satisfied with the justice of the verdict, and if I
have any doubt about the case at all it is whether 1 have
not been too lenient.
The convict Biker—flog pardon, my lord, but I should
like to speak a word for the old man. Truth is truth ; the
old man didn't leave the cart.
Giles Ilutchings—No, he didn't, my lord.
His Lordship—l sin glad to hear you say so. I will
take care his case shall be considered.
The prisoners were then removed.

was now about '&1, and she was IS. The nuo.—_, of the
plaintiff was a woman of sonic means, and the defen-
dant was a man of considerable property. The plaintiff
had been lit., lit up with the greatest care by her
mother, and, after leaving the village school, went to
a ladies' school at Frotne. After returning home
idle Resisted her mother in the grocery and bakery
business, but had nothing to do with the beerishop.
Towards the end ~f 1871 and the beginning of 1875 the
defendant paid her every attention and they walked out
together. She went to church, and he was a Dissenter,
and used to come and meet her on her way from
church. In the early part of 1875 he proposed
marriage to her, and she accepted him, and the proposal
was communicated to her mother, who approved of the
match. The defendant told her he should have 1:2,000
from his father. wliffengaged shortly to give up the farm
to him. They did not correspond by letter, utile letters
would have to be taken a long distance to be posted, and
then go to Roth, which was the post town of Batcombe,
on the 26th of August, 187 S. the young lady spent the
evening at the defendant's father's house, and while
staving there the defendant induced her to walk out
with him under the pretence of going to the barn, and
unfortunately took advantage of her and sedue( d her.
On the :Nth of May, 1876, she was contired, her mother
not having the remotest idea of her condition. Her
mother wrote the defendant a letter saying that he had
deceived her daughter by a promise of marriage, arid
unless he called and made some arrangement she would
place the matter in the hands of a solicitor. The
defendant communicated with his solicitor, and a more
disgraceful letter he (the learned counsel) never read
than that written by him to her. The solicitor, Mr.
Ames, of Frome, sail he had been consulted by Mr.
Thomas Goddard relative to a scandal she had
circulated respecting his character, and Mr. Goddard
held her responsible for the scandal, and if there was
any repetition of the annoyance Mr. Goddard would
take proceedings to vindicate his character, and
punish those who had circulated those evil reports.
The plaintiff wrote in answer to this letter to the
defendant and said she understood that the defendant's
father stated she had come to his house to entrap him
(defendant) ; but he had trapped her to her great
sorrow. He hail better come to make arrangements,
as it was not likely she would keep the child. On
behalf of the defence, the promise the marriage and the
alleged seduct. were repudiated. The defendant,
in his evidence, denied having taken the plaintiff to a
barn and seduced her on the 26th of May. He lett her
outside while he fed the pir, and on his return she
took liberties with him. His Lordship remarked that
the plaintiff was not crossexamined on this state-
ment, which alleged the grossest misconduct on her
part.—The defendant in his further evidence, said
after the child's birth he went with his brother-in-
law to the house of the plaintiff's mother and hada glass
of lieer.—Mr. Cole t \Vent perhaps, to congratulate
her? (Laughter.)—llis Lordship : Or to drink the
baby's health. (Laughter.)—After evidence for the
defendant had been given, Mr. Cole replied, saying
that he never saw a biggei scoundrel in his life than the
defendant he could not de-cribe him in any other way.
A second action had been brought for the seduction of
the plaintiff, and it was agreed that both cases should
be settled by one verdict—His Lordship left with the
jury the following questions to be answered : Whether
they believed there was a promise to marry on the part
of the defendant, and whether they believed he
seduced her.---The jury retired, and after a delibera-
tion of 4puirter of an hour they found a verdict for
the plaintiff, 472:i0 damages.
