WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Tautcroar, Aram 8.
Caere,. Greer—Before Mr. Jugico Wiehunun.
Tue Bosnia Mvitnett.—Benjamin Ilazell, 18, and
James Ilazell, 16, were indicted for the murder of Walsing-
ham Hazel!, their uncle, at Hendry, on the 17th of January.
Thomas Capel, a farm labourer, in the service of the de.
matted gentleman, deposed that on the 17th of January he
went to his work at six o'clock in the morning, and having
to clean out the stable, he, as war hie custom, pulled off a
fustian coat he wore, and hung it behind the stable-door.
At half-past three o'clock the name afternoon, as he was
working with Vowles in the barn, thrashing wheat, he saw
deceased, who had an umbrella in his hand, going towards
the colt-house door. About five minute. before he had seen
the pris races, who lived at the farm, go in the same 'Erec-
tion. Afterwerds heard two or three persons, whom he
believed to have been the prisoners and their uncle, talking.
Went on thrashing, and in about half an hour saw the pri-
soner( pass back again towards the house. Atter witness
had done his work ke found that some one had brought his
coat oat of the stable and hung it across the barn-door. The
next morning, on going to work, he found the prisoners
cleaning out-
the stable. They told him they bad been
searching (or the it uncle all night. Had never known his
coat taken out of the stable by any one before. Witness
subsequently, in consequence of something he had heard,
!parched a tire well so the premises, and in it he found
the had y of the deceased. The well was thirty or forty
feet deep. 'Witness did not go into the stable the day Mr.
Hazen was missed.—Cross-exarnined : James and Benjamin
llazell were present when the body was got out of the well.
When the Hazella pa-red the barton they had a milkpail,
and appeared to be at their work going to ft-id the calves.
James Hazell was in the habit of keeping the stable door
locked : it was a very dark stable. On the morning a'ter
deceased was missed I found the Hazells cleaning the stable
—the usual way. The next =lining I was there before
thee were tap, and they gave me the key of the stable and a
lanthorn, and told me to go in and they would follow.
Never heard a quarrel or angry word between prisoncra and
deceased ; they paid the utmost respect to him.
Mr. John Shorland deposed to having made a pest mortem
examination of deceased. There were several extensive
wounds Oil the head. The one which attracted his attention
more particul.aly was over the left eye ; it appeared ta have
been nitlieted with a heavy blunt instrument having a pro.
jetting point on it. The bronchial artery was divided, and
roust have thrown tut a quantity of blood. There was dried
blood on the face and hay seeds. Witness afterwards
examined the stable, and found agooti deal of blood unaer the
manger and some on the stable-wall between the door and
the manger. It appeared to he arterial blood. There were
alto hay seeds under the merger.
Paul Stallard deposed to his father-in-law, the deceased,
being missed. Afterwards he went to the house and searehed
the barn, to which no objection was made. Afterwards tried
the stable, and, hurling it locked, sent fur the key, and Ben.
jamin and James Ii azell brought it, and they all went into
the loft and stable and came out again ; the horses were
I littered up, and they observed nothing particular.—Cray
examined: Had Benjamin and Jartes Hazelltaken into ens-
, tardy. Used to live with Misr Hazell at ono time. Had
not applied to go back there. The prisoners nor the Misses
Hazell did not say to him "You shall have the key, but no-
body else shall." Had had no quarrel with Becjamin
1 Hazen.
Samuel Vowles gave somewhat similar testimony to
Carpel us to seeing the prisoners and deceased by the colt-
house, and his subsequent disappearance.—Cans examined :
After master was missed, the prisoners went searching for
him with me. James Hazen was engaged in drawing lambs
at that time, and we had killed a pig the week before, and
he and I carried the bloody aide of him.—Re-examined : The
pig was killed on the Wednesday or Thursday before master
was missed. Some lambs were drawn on the Monday
afternoon.
Elizabeth Hazell, sister ofdeceased, deposed to his rag-alto
habits and sudden disapp, armee. Whet. Stallard sent for
the keys James Hazell said, " Don't let them go into the
barn knocking about the barley." Witness replied "If
Stallard is there le: him leave the keys."—The prisoners put
on clean linen every Sunday.—Cross-examined : James Ha.
zell's nose wculd sometimes bleed—it had bled several times.
Never heard either of the prisoners utter a disrespectful word
of their uncle. They were on good terms, and he was quite
pleased with them.— Emily Hazen gave similar testimony.
Josepn Sampson assisted in the search for deceased. Asked
James Hazal for the key to search the gable, and he said
they should not have it, for he had himself been there, and

the door should not be onset. cl again that night. II;s aunt,d
told him to rive it, and he said "Come on Benjamin," and

George Parsons, of Hendry, took the primnrrs into ens
Cody on the 21st January. Found marks of blood on JIIMOP'S
shirt, which he said had come from his having knocked the
skin off his knuckles. Them were oleo marks of blood on
Benjamin's shirt.
Benjamin Hur'ord, of the Bristol police, deposed to haying
examined the stable on the 21th of January. In the b'aNe
wall a ladder leading to a loft, and on the hottem of it were
spots of blood which could not have ban caused by any one
who had cut his hand.—John lises, another polisernan, gave
similar testimony.
Janus Young, constable of Ashton, had James Hazen in
kis custody on the 22nd of January. Obstrved 'pets of
blood on his coat and trousers. He said they came tit, re
when he was assisting in killing a pig. He afterw -rds said
he could not tell how his uncle's umbrella came in the stable.
I ash% " suppose a man had killed your uncle anti put it
there." He said, "Na ; after I left uncle at the culthouse
door, ne one could go into the stable that night without me
Of my broth( r knowing it." li al heard James say he wished
Benjamin had never come to Dundry at all : also heart him
say that be hod had the key and that be put the coat on the
barn door.—!n reply to the learned judge, the witness said
lie had wawa( this conversation to Inspector Bosworth, but
upon that officer being called he denied that he had done so.
flinty Pritchard said he advised the prisoner to search the
well on the day after Mr. Mizell was missed, but they said
he could net be there.
The following testimony is entirely new :
J. Yates, polieeman, of Bristol : I had t..c prisoners in in)
custoily on the '24th January, the dty on which they wer
examined by the magistrates; they were in separate cells,
44 feet apart. lam instructed not to listen to the cm.v. r-
sation of prisoners, and was retou that occasion. II they
speak so loud that I sin obliged to hear I am instructed to
out down what they say. On the 28th January the consta.
blea who wire attendiug the prisoners told me they were
talking. I went nun'r and hoed what they had to say.—
The Judge : Is that the rule to go and listen? I understood
that if you hear them in your ordinary business talking you
are to take down what they ;my, hut you are not to go and
listen.—Witness : I wu 18 er 20 feet from the nearest cell
when they were talking. Made a memorandum of what they
said at the time. James said, "They have not found out
anything Realest us yet." DeMamin said, " No. nothing can't
do it, and I hope we shall bs• at hurt,' tmmorrow." James
said, " I hope to the Lord we !Melt." Benjamin said,
" Mind, if they ask you anything, we didn't see him after
he left the colt house doer and went nut at the batten gate,
between three and tour o'clock ; and it' they ask us whether
we ko.or the umbrella, we don't know i' • and if they ask
us what c is, olour it we don't know." lames said, " It's
that Paul B..illard that is getting all he can against us." Ben
jemin said, " Ant one dam would put that stick and urn
bridle where Jack Hall found it, to make believe we done
it." This was all that passed the first time. After this I
VIA! on duty the 31st of January, in an outer room,
near the clls. The prisoner Jartl4 R said, " I hope we shall la-
let loose Wednesday." lienjumin said, "I hope we shall."
James said, " They can't hiring it right yet, can 'em?"
Itepjamin said, " They can't bring it in that we done it."
On another oc asi,n, the Ist Feb., Benjamin said, " abed
what he told us," alluding to the caamivationbefore the uta-
g-strate.
Criss-examined : Went to listen, when I heard the
prisaners set re taking. \VW* seven feet from one of the
cells in which Ilmjamin wan. Wrote the first conversation
in the charge•rootn.
S ,me other evidence of an unimportant character having
been adduced, the prosecutio n cl ,sad ;
Mr. Stone proceeded to at drag the jury for the pi isoners.
He coetended that in the ,vdan:e thi re had not been a cir-
cumstance of suspicion mitt on to which might not be co,
eistent with the most perfect innownee, and he entreated thr
jury to consider the impro' atilt/ of the two young men
before them having, without any grub dile cause, committed
so unnatural a crime. The learned counsel concluded by
espressing hit confidence that the jury would pronounce a
verdict of acquittal.
Mr. Justice Wightman havirg summed up the evidence at
considerahlc length, and in his usual lucid manner, the jury,
alter a few minutes' consultation, pronounced a verdict of
Not Guilty.
