PROVINCIAL.

THE DUNDItT MUS.DER..—The magistrates con-
tinued their investigation of this mysterious affair through
the whole of Wednetalay, at the Angel Inn, Ashton.—
Josiah Sampson (the witness who had just been called when
our correspondent despatched his last parcel) deposed that
he went towards deceased's house to see if he could render
any mistimes in the search. After searching the wmgon-
house, and looking all ever the cow -btrton, they tried- the
stable, but found the door locked. Witness was sent by
Stallard for the key, and he went into the house, and re-
quested that it might be given to him. The prisoner James
Stallard said, " You shall not go there, for we have been
there. The stable shall not be opened this night, for he
cannot be there." The prisoner Benjamin than said, "Ne
more it shouldn't be, James ; I would not have it dom."
Miss Elisabeth Huai then interfered, and said, " My dear
child do go and open the door--4earch anywhere for him."
James Hazell then got up from his wat,aud said to his brother,
" Come on then Benjamin." They went to the stable and un-
locked the door, and witness and the others went in to see if
deceased was there. When they opened the door, farmer
Stallard had the lanthorn ; mild not tell whether either of
the prisoners afterwards took it from him. As soon as they
, emoted the stable, Benjamin and James Hazell went up into
' 1011, and Mr. Stallard followed them. Could not tell which '
dirtied the lanthorn. As soon as they had got into the loft
Hwy came down again. They went up es fad as they could
re. When they came down, they all went into the barten,
sad the Hazells locked the stable-door, and took the key. '
Thu search in the stable and loft could not have occupied
BIM than about two minutes ; would swear it did not take
Its Minim They looked in to see if deceased was there,
bat dill not search much. On coming out, witness looked
serum at the well : the stone was on the top of it, and it
looked to be just in the same state as he had seen it in before
and since.—Bmjamin Hazel] here asked the witness if he did
not remember his going with him to the cow-house?
—Witness: I cannot remember whether you did or
not—Prisoner: Did we not go into the house after-
'wards, and have some more cider r Witness : I remember
that we did have more cider.—Prisoner : Did I not go
and help search my aunt Hail's grounds? Witness: Yea, I
recollect that you dad.—Prisoner: It was Mr. Stallard who
had the leathern when we went into the stable and when
we came out of it.—The father of the prisoner, a respectable-
looking farmer, who was present by the permission of the
magistrates, here called the attention of the bench to what
he considered a difference between the account siren by
Stallard o! the search of the stable and that detailed by the
witness. The latter, he said, had represented it as much
more hurried then Db. Stallard had deocribsd it, or than it
was likely to have been. Mr. Morehouse said he
thought the two statements agreed in their main
particulars.—John Hall was then called, and deposed
to having searched the NIA= by desire of Mr. Sta.;
he found a large stick (before produced) stained with blood
and laving, adhering to it, human hairs of a gray
colour. The hair of deceased was gray. The stick ms
under a wheelbarrow, Mae to the stable wall ; it did not
appear as if throws oat amidentally, but as if placed
!time it was found. Witness, is about half an hoar after-
wards, discovered an umbrella loss that carried by diseased
on the day of his murder, on the top of a wall under the
