DISCOVIIRT OF STOLIJI JEWELLEIT.—Otte readers
will remember (says the °lawny Herald) that, in the
noseth of May last, information was given to the police that
the shop of Mr. Duncan, watchmaker and jeweller, in
the Arcade, had bon broken into, and taken away
to the amount of 6001. or 7001., consisting of golld and silver
watches, gold and silver pencil oases, gold rime, brooch's,
gad, indeed, jewellery of every deseriptioo. Datil Saturday
last no trees of either thieves or property could be dieeovered;
sad, indeed, not a few were a* uncharitable as to doubt
that Mr. Duncan had been es bhed ae all. On the dal
named, however, a gentleman applied at Mr. Duncan
shop, in the Arcade, for a breguot chain for a silver watch
he had jut parchmed. Mr. Duncan, on lookirg at the
wank at ones discovered that it was one of these stolen
when kis premises had been plundered by wholesale, ten
months before. The pestles= readily stated that he had

street ; sad en Mr. George M'Kay, the chief of the detective
department, applyieg to this pesos, he stated that the
watch had been sold to him by Mr. Grey, goldbeater, Doa-
ble-street. Mr. Dl'Hay then smoldered it his duty to wait
span Mr. Gray, when it was ascertained ti at he had par-
chased twenty watches from a parson unknown to him;
hat that the transaction had taken plies in a public-
izes,* in Dalmarneek.rmid. Following up the clue tits
obtained, the came of the seller was found to ice Alec-
ender Stewart, blacksmith and bell-hanger, residing in
Lag wen's, who had, in this public-house, transferred the
watches from a basket to Mr. Gray'. paragon. Of course
Mr. M•Hey took measures to find this man, and in the
course of the iley he was apprehendea, along with his wile,
in a pahlk-haum is the neighbourhood. The result is that

that, within the last fill weeks, the police discovered more

THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS NOW AWAITING
EXIMITION.—The fate of the criminals now under acetones
of death In various parts of the country is exciting much at-
tention, sad many efforts are being made by the opt orients
of capital punishment to obtain reprieves for the offenders
A, memorial to the Home Secretary to spare the life of the
murderer Pullev, condemned at Worcester, was tnnunitted
to G. Riessio, Seq., for pesentation to the Rome Secretary.
The 111411110161 was amonspanied by certain ss mann for
entertaining doubts as to the sanity of the convict," which
Melanin% was to the effect that an individual at Peristalses
bad beard of a man of the same name as the prisoner
going &beet in a crazy state ; that the prisoner bad lived for
months in a hole is Teddealey Wood; that he had ones
horned his apparel and tic working tools; that he was heard
to utter threats against many persons; and that the deceased
husband of an old woman sow living in the Blockhouse,
and who was related to the murderer's family, was insane at
the time of his death. We do not know on what proof these
assertions rest, or of what stelae they would be if proven.
In reply to the memorial, Mr. Mardis addressed a letter to
the M ayor of Worcester, atatirg that the petition had been
forwarded on Saturday lest to Sir G. Grey, who bad pro.
Weed to communicate with Mr. Justice Coltman (the judge
at PatUay's trial), and to acquaint him with the result. A
letter bas also been sent by the prisoner's brother to R.
Temple, Esq., of Hempeey, respecting the alleged insanity of
Pulley. This letter was forwarded to the Jodie, who gave
instructions that it should be sent to the Home Secretary,
which has been done. The day of execution Du been fixed
for Monday meet, and Is to take place on the roof of the gaol,
betweu the gateway towers, unless a reprieve is granted. In
the ease of the murderer, John Smith, convicted InWiltshire,
a petition for mercy has beets got up at Fisherton, which has
received the signatures of many respectable tradesmen and
others. A family residing at Ninon, near Salisbury, be.
lieu that the prisoner belongs to them, an he answers the
name, age, and description of their John Smith, who shortly
after he was of age left home and has not since been heard ot.
The prisoner obstinately refuses to explain where he came
from. In eoesequence of a report coming to the ears of the
high sheriff, that the prisoner a 'hart time before the murder
was employed wheeling coals (rein the login' train at the
Swindon Station of the Great Western Railway,
and that while there engaged he was generally
considered to be of weak intellect, police-constable
No. 4, William Saunders, in the employ of es, Great I
Western Company, arrived at Salisbury by the Swindon
mail this day, and proceeded to the county gaol to identify
the prisoner, where he was met by the higlisheriff and
under sheriff (a• believe), and also by the rh plain. This
constable instantly recognised him to be the same man.
The prisoner said he did not know the coostable, but in
reply as to particulars about the localities of Old and New
Swindon, his replies at once convinced the authorities that
the constable was right. Superintendent Hill, of the Great
Western Company, being on a trial at Salisbury, first
thought that the prisoner was the same on his seeing
him at the bar. The high sheriff has communicated this to
the Secretary of State for the llomellepartment.

bad no oonversation with Mr. James about the bill. Before
the Zith of July I bad promised my vote to Mr. Jervis.
Oa the Sunday before that day I went to
Mr. James's reliance, sad I believe he mime in

Mr. James by Mr. Noy's orders.
Sir. F. Kelly oblected to this fact being taken as evidence
against Kr. Jame', aldose it was first shown that Mr. Noy
sated by the "atlas ity of the defendant.
Examination matased : I went to Mr. James's chambers
in London, sad a person I saw there gave me 281. upon my
giving ab ll SOS the amount. I never said anything to Mr.
James personally upon the subject of my amount.
Cues-egansinetel—l was in diMealties about four months
after the electiva, and I applied to Mr. Medwin and Mr.
Jams for &mistimes, and they lint me some money upon
my giving a bill, but this proceeding had nothing whatever
to do with the election. I never promised my vote to Mr.
James for say consideration whatever, and lad no com-
munication whatever with him SIP far as regarded my vot
When I became a bankrupt I was induced to make out my
amount to Mr. James, but I bad no authority from him to
do io, and the account was afterwards toads out to another
permit. lam not swam that an action has been brought
against Mr. James, on account of my claim, and abandoned.
George Elphicit deposed that he was a conveyancer, and
resided at Horsham. He was tenant to Mr. Patrick, and
in May, 1847, he was in arrears for rent. He was canvassed
by Mr. Medwin foe Mr. Jervis, and promised him his vote.
About a fortnight before the election he west to Mr. Jervis's
committee-roere, and low several gentlemen there, and a
short time afterwards he I,ft Horsham' acoompauied by Mr.
Martin, one of the gentlemen he saw in the committee room,
and went to London. They met Mr. James near Pall-mall.
and he said to him, " Oh, Elphick, have you come to town,"
and witness replied that he was so excited sad so Nick of
the election that he was glad I. get away from
Horsham. Mr. James then took them to the It -
farm Club-house, and Mr. Martin and Mr. James
went iota a private room, and soon afterwards witness was
called on, and be invited of Mr. James how long he might
be detained in London. He replied that he could not say
how brig it would be before the election would take place,
and witness then said he had come away on a sucden, and
said he did' net like to send home for clothes, and he
asked for 61. or 61. Mr. James agreed to let his have that
=aunt, and Mr. James said they had better have an under-
standing about it, and witness had better give Mr. Martin
an I 0 U for the amount, and he did so, and 61. were given
to his. Witness then went with Mr. Martin to Mr. Cop-
pock's chambers in St. James's, and • clerk who was
there opened a letter that had been written by Mr.
James, and another that had been written by Capt. Thomas at
Marsilius, and a person Duped John was then called, and he
accompanied him into the City, where he ordered a suit of
clothes, and they were afterwards brought to him by the
person who was called John. Witness was in Landon eight
dabs, and daring that time he did not pay for anything he
had. He met Mr. Drew Hew ywood in London, and he
accompanied him and Robert Pa:soap, another voter, his
wife, and his father-in-law back to Horsham ; and on the
following morning he voted for Mr. Jamie. After be had
given his vote he saw Mr. James, who asked him if be had
voted, aid when he told him he had, he aid " Now I will
do what I can ter you." The same morning Mr James
mid " Well, }Uptick, I saw yon at the Italian Opera the
other night in Mr. Jervis's box ;• that was a very pretty little
French girl you had with you. (A laugh.)
Serjeant Shea—l suppose this was only a joke, and yen
defended your reputation. (Renewed laughter.)
By Sir F. Kelly.—Mr. James had nothing to do with
obtaining my vote. It was known all along that I intended
to vote for Mr. Jervis. He did not see anything of Mr.
James until he went to London.

Mr. Nuy, a solicitor at Horsham, deposed that in May,
1847, he received a letter from Mr. James, and he in con-
sequence saw that gentleman on the 23rd May, at hie resi-
dence at Horsham. He did rot receive any money from
him upon that occasion; but about three weeks afterwards
Mr. Junes gave him 301., and subsequently 201. more, and
ether sums. Ile received this money u his retaining fee
to act as an agent for Mr. Jervis at the Horsham election,
and he did act in that capacity. Witness act. d under big
own discretion, bat occasionally he saw Mr. James, your.
Mr. Medwin, and Mr. Jervis. The Attorney-General
arrived -.t Honks"' on the 29th May, and several gentlemon
dined with him and his son on that day, at the Crown Inn,
Horsham. _ - - - -

Henry Beek, an organist at Horsham, deposed that he
was cooled as secretary to Mr. Jervis's committee a short
time before the election. He was appointed by Mr. James,
and wat to receive two pounds per week for bis services.
Sometimes he was paid by Mr. Medwin, and at others by
Mr. Honeywood. He entered in a book the names if the
persons who came to the committee. That book was taken
to London by him, and he lost it there. On the Monday in
the election week the committee was removed from the
Crown to the Anchor, and be believed there were two com-
mittee rooms sngaged, one in which any person could go
in, and Bawler up stain, in a room which was a bed-room.
He did not see Mr. James more particularly occupying this
room than any other person. Believed that on the night of the
nomination be went into this little room, but be did not see
any money there. Did not see any bags of money in that
room or any other. Did not me any sovereigns or notes.
He believed there were a dozen round frocks in the house.
They were for the " white boys." Did not know what the
" white boys" were for, except to protect the figs in the
processions. Never heard any directions that a round frock
should be given to a man named Leach. Witness knew a
voter aamed Henley, but never beard Mr. James say any-
thing about him. Witness was never consulted by Mr. James
about any of the voters, but he took several voters into the
committee room.

By Sir F. Kelly—Witness is an inhabitant of Horsham,
and a voter for the borough. He was in London to be
examined before the parliamentary committee upon the
suhj. ct of this election, the result of which war a fresh
election, when Lord Edward Howard and Mr. Fitzgerald
were candidates, and the latter was returned by a large ma-
jority. Upon that occasion Lord E. Howard, amm.eistely
atter the election gay, notice of his intention to petition
against the return. This election took place on the 29th
January.
Sir F. Kelly begged to call the attention of his lordship to
the fact that it appeared by the record the prevent action
wee commenced on the very day following.
Serjeant Saes said he really could not see what this had to
do with the case.

Sir F. Hvlly said he apprehended it would appear to be a
very important ingredient in the present inquiry.
Robert Forman deposed that he was engaged as a watcher
or looker•out for Mr. Jamie's committee, and he was about
oitht and day. He saw Mr. James "lota of times." Never
heard Mr. James say anything about money or about win.
ning the election, but he heard him say at some of the pub-
lic meetings that if any elector lost anything by supporting
Mr. Jervis he would see him righted. Ile remembered a
man named Dendy coming up to vote, but he did not see
who brought him up, and he did not see Mr. James bring
up any of the voters.
John Sltrave deposed that he was a baker at Horsham.
Oa the night of the nomination, Binjamin Bleach came to
him and they had some conversation together.
Serjeant Shea : Did he after this conversation come to you
and produce a paper ?
Sir F. Kelly objected to an answer being given to this
question, unless some evidence was given that would connect
Mr. James with the transaction.
_ _

Sajeent She, oontenTba that the evidence of the led
witness, which went to show that Bleach wu sent for in the
presence of Mr. James and the other gentlemen forming the
emaratttee, reflidently manectsd him with the %remotion
to render the @aliases admissible.
Mr. Judas Rights ma, after muse argument, ruled that
the @videos at that Nip ought not to be received.

Mr. Patrick was thacezas;lned. He held an ofiloe in the
county court at Greenekb. He was frequently at Horsham,
and he was sometimes joralarly called Captain Patrick. He
had served in the Canadian =Okla. On the nomination day
he :sluiced up the wide might. He remembered seeing
Bleach that night, mad gave him susething.
Sir F. Kelly again eldetied that what wu dope by this
gentleman was no 'sidemen spied Kr. Jams, who was not
shown to have been puss{ sr to have taken any abate in
the transaction.

Serjeard Shea said thoeo natters were always the remit GO
contrivance, and were arranged in secre, and unless some
Wand* wee attired. it would be Impossible to make out the
ease.

Mr. Judie Makings add that the ore arm be roe.
dusted like all ether the well understood rules of
sunsets ; and earn the t was shown either to have
Nen present or to have semelined the proceeding, it ought
not to be admitted ea erbium the defendant.

from three to fair hundred pounds in all, anti
this was all expended in treating, except witneash
own expenses. Witmer took Panne, the voter, to London.
He pad the envenom of the journey for his wife. his child,

THE BILITANNIL BILIDOM MURDER.

John Priici;r7l;;;;Oli;rgid;iii the willul murder of
John Rowlands at the Britannia-bridge on the night of the
29 hof July lest. The prisoner pleaded not guile.
The deostmed and the prisoner were watchmen employed
on the plalorni, on which the large tubes intended for the
stupendous tubular bridge over the Menai Straits are being
constrneted, to watch the storehouses and the vast quantities
of machinery, tools, &c., which necessarily were much e:•
posed. Bach had his particular beat, and it was arranged
that they should meet every half hour and report whether all
was right. Early on the day named the p isoner raised an
alarm, stating _that ht and the deceased had been at
tacked by a body of men unknown, that he had
with difficulty escaped, and that he was afraid harm had
come to Rowlands. The police were aroused, and the body
of Rowlands was discovered. with the skull fractured in
three places, and the brair a protruding through a fearful
emit on the side of the head. These injuries appeared to have
been done with a blunt weapon. Robbery did not appear
to have been the object of the deed, for though a store-
house containing hides had been entered, and property
placed outride the door, yet none had been taken.
Messrs. Webby, Townsbend, and Wilkie appeared for the
prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Messrs.
Egerton and Beavan.
. . .

A model aaiersilsray tube and staging on which the
murder bad been committed was placed in court to elucidate
the evidence. . . . . .

William Lewis stated that ab ut halt-past twdye o'clock
he wu aroused by the prisoner, who said that a storeahop
on the stage had been brsken into, and that he and Row-
lands, on proceeding thither, were attacked by two men,
who came out of a midden, and threatened to kill them ;
being alarmed, the prisoner slipped through the midden
opening on to the beach, when he waded into the water, and
after remaining there some time, he gave the alarm to
Lewis. The prisoner's dress wu wet. Assistance being
procured. witness and others searched for and found the
body of Rwlands on the strand.
Other evidence confirmed the above statement. The
watchmen en the other stages did not hear the calla for
assistance.
Mr. Horace, a surgeon, depoeed that a fall from the stage
which is two yards high, would not have caused all the frac:
tures. The soli bore no traces of footmarks.

Another wittier, named Bentley, stated that the prisoner
told him that four or five men had come in a boat to the
stage, and had done the deed. lhey were dirty and black,
like the men employed on the works.
Thomu Powell, a sailor, stated that be was confined in
Carnyvon gaol, and whilst there the prisoner voluntarily
confessed that he had a quarrel with Rowlands concerning
a young woman, who wed often to go down to the prisoner,
and remain with him all night whilst on duty ; that Row-
lauds had upbraided him, on which ha, Pritchard, charged
him with having told his wife of the woman. This was
tiesied by Rowland', when the prisoner picked up a piece of
iron and stench the deceased, who said, "Don't kill me.
John." He repeated the blow, and then threw the dammed
from off the stage. The prisoner said that he had filed the
key, and that he and the deceased and often to rots the
stone. (This key was found on the person of the murdered
man.)
The witness had been charged with stealing bread, bat
he was acquitted on his trial. He varied on croseexamina
non considerably, as to the times and nights on which his
communications with the prisoner took place. Since his
discharge from prison he had been living w ith the police.
The surgeon, on being re-examined, decided that, after
receiving one of the fractures, the deceased could not have
spokes.
Mr. Egerton, for the defence, having addressed the jury,
the learned judge summed up, and the jury, after a length-
ened deliberation of two hours, returned a verdict of Not
Guilty. The foreman added, "We give the benefit of our
doubt to the prisoner."

Waqhorn, was finally examined, charged with cutting and
wounding C. Gibson with intent to murder him.
The injured man, who: e head and throat were enveloped
in bandages, said: I live in New-court. Nichol-street,
Bethnal-green, and the prisoner has for some time occupied
a room in the same house. On the evening of the 27th ult.
I reached home very much intoxicated, between two and
three. On entering the house, I had an altercation with a
young man, named Sadler, whom I followed up stairs, but
retuned afterwards into the court where the prisoner was
standing, and no one else was within sight. The prisoner
came close up to me, end, at the same moment, I
telt that my throat was cut, and fell senseless to the
ground. I bled very much from the wound, and
was carried, some time afterwards into the pri-
soners' room, where I partly recovered; I heard her
say, 0, dark Sal has cut his throat." I was placed
upon the prisoner's bed, and left for some time alone with
her, when she kept on muttering, " Oh, I shall
give myself ; I shall never rest on that bed any more. What
have I done 1 I have cut his throat." A surgeon was
brought who dressed the wounds, and I was taken to the
hospital, where I have remained ever since. At the time I
received the wound I had no handkerchief on my neck, and
my shirt was cut comp'etcly through. I had had a quarrel
with the prisoner about ax months ago, but made it up whet
her, and we wera very good friends when this occurred.
Men Day stated that a short time prior to the occurrence
the prisoner commenced a violent attack upon a girl named
Sarah Morris, who lodged in the house, but having got wor-
sted in the souffle she retreated down stairs, declaring that " If
she could not get her revenge to one way she would in
=other." The prisoner then snatched up a table knife,
which she deliberately sharpened upon the poker, and rushed
into the yard where she met the prosecutor, and iestantly
drew the bias scrota his throat. After inflicting the wound,
she hastily wiped the knife upon her @pros, and returning
up stairs, flung the weapon into the apartment of the young
woman with whom she had been quarreling, at the same
time vociferously exclaiming—" Dark Stuly has cut Gibson's
throat." The wounded man was in the meantime carried
into the prisoner's room, where he was attended by a ear-
seam, who directed his immediate removal to the hospitaL
A polio,. rotatable produced a blood-stained knife which
he had found in the prisoner's room, and also a gown and
apron, identified u belonging to her, and both of which
were also smeared with blood.
The prisoner woefully committed far trial.
