would do little to enlighten a stranger as to the ware

is &ear, that the electors of this small town have shown a
virtue, worthy of ancient Rome, in resisting the influence of
wealth, of titles, of great names, of large landed estates, of
insinuating personal solicitations, and in returning as their
representative, fres of expense, a gentleman whose talents
and political principles consolidated his sole claims
upon their support. In oonolusion, sir, let me say
that I warmly concur with you in the hope
that the days of mall bonnets and " borough boundaries "
are well nigh ended. But if Liskeard be a " rotten borough "

THE NORFOLK ASSASSINATIONS.
EXAMINATION AT STANFIELD HALL.
A writ of habeas corpus having been obtained, the
prisoner Rush was on Thursday taken in custody from Nor-
wich Calms to Stanfield-hall, that he might be present
during the examination of the wounded servant girl, Eliza
Chestney. As may be imagined, some difficulty was expe-
rienced in removing the prisoner after he had been fully
committed for trial, and although the magistrates probably
might have exercised the power on their own responsibility,
yet in so serious a case they were determined to be doubly
sure, and accordingly applicatioo was made to Mr. Justice
Wightman for a writ of babies corpus, which was granted.
The prisoner's appearance at Stanfield-hall was rendered
neeenury, in order that be misfit be present to bear a more
lengthened awl collected statement from the wounded maid,
Eliza Chestney. It will be recollected that her demise, u
also that of Mrs. Jump's, being anticipated, the magistrates
on the day following the assassination' took what were
thought to be their dying declarations. The shocking con-
dition of the unfortunate maid, and the Severe agony she
was enduring, only permitted her to give the brief main
facts, which have been published. Her favourable change,
however, has enabled her t• give a la re detailed descrip-
tion of the aleitlill and his movements, and, as will be seen,
her additional testimony is of the most important character.
Eliza Chutney, being sworn, said: I em 28 years of age.
I have a Meer recollection of all the circumstances of the
night of the 28th of Nov. About 8 o'clock in the evening
I was sitting with the nook in the servant's hall, when I
heard the report of a gun, which I supposed to have been
mused by tine of the servants. Ina few seconds afterwards
I heard another report of a gun. I got up and went down
the passage towards the hall and butler's pantry, intending
to ea the butler what was the matter. Before I could do
so I met Mrs. Jermy, looking dreadfully wild. She mid,
" Watson shutter), Watson, Eliza, go to Mr. Jenny." I mid,
" For Gods sake what is the matter?" She continued saying
"Go to Mr. Jenny." I then threw my arm round her waist
and with the other took her hand. I rid, "My dear mistress
what is the matter." I returned along the passage with her,
and I observed, "For God's sake, don't go." She never
spoke, but looked at me wildly. When we got down to the
door of the staircase hall, I saw my master, Mr. hale Jeremy
Jersey lying on his beck on the floor, and then saw a man
gaming from the dining room. When I first saw him he
appeared n be about a yard out of the dieing room door.
I could distinctly see the head and shoulders, but not the
tam or features. The light hung at his back. He a
to have upon his right shoulder a short gun or erl
distinctly saw him level it, and instantly after I was shot, and
in a second afterwards anothershet was Bred. I saw distizsdytl
my mistress's arm wounded. I then fill to the ground,
having Iron shot in the thigh. My mistress left me
end ran along the passe up stain. I twisted round several
times belies I Hll i then gun two or three violist
shrieks, and said, " I am going to die." I called out, " Will
no oes oome near me ? " Miss Isabella Jersey passed me,
and she must have gone by the man at the doorway is the
hall. James Watson then came out of his pantry. Ile said,
" Lord have mercy apes us, what is the matter 1 " I mid,
" Watson, I sea shot." He said, " you move ? " I
said, " No, don't touch me." I remembered no more nun
I beard some one shout three times " Where an shot 1"
This was at the bottom of the sts4cese, I spread my band
over my wound. Some one then said, " Fooe tnielvtapaes7
thing, did you see hiss 2" I said, " Yee, it was
I mesa that sun (pointing to the prisoner). The man
I saw in the hall had neither hat ace asp on, nor had he
anything that disguised the shape of the head. The firm of
the head was flat on the top and bushy, apparently set out
round the heed. He ban wide shoulder,.lt seemed to be

should think he was about three or four yards from me
when he knelled the gun at me, bat I cannot speak posi-
tively. Directly I fell, lam quite sore I baud some person
pee me besides Miss Jersey. It was my °Deviation at the
time, sad is so still, that the person I saw in the hall who
shot et me Is the prisoner Rush. I had seen him several
lame belon that night. His dress appeared to be dark, bat
I speak more particularly to the head end shoulders. I was
shown a wig by Mr. Henry Hubbenty, a superintendent of
pollee, some day last week. Hobbyist,' put it on end it
ithinglit clearly and distinctly to my mind the fore: al the
head of the man who shot me. I should like to see it pat
on the primmer.
The wig, it will be remembered, was dissuiredlying at the
top ol a box in a closet in the prisoner's bedroom at Nosh-
form. It has a profusion of long curled Meek heir, and
&noshed to it is a wide bend of iniky hair, whisk almost
covers the lower part of the face. Rush wee ben attired is
the wig, which considerably concealed hie Imbues, and the
Moak.
Eilm Chantey looked at the prisoner and his intermit* al.

I feel quite we that I never said the man had either hat or

about two bonze after I was shot.
At the ekes of this examination Rush was removed,
strongly guarded., to a fly, and was quickly conveyed to his
old quarters at Norwich Castle.
