and advise the Ameri, ins in the manaitrittent and display
of their goods ; and, fourthly, at the close ur the F.xhibi-
tion, you will make a report of your proceedings under
this appointment."
Mr. STANsBURY again contended that there was an
indetinitencm iu the woeding of both commissions, render-
ing it highly desirable to wait until the real iatsmtions of
th, American Executive Committee could be awertaiued
and made known.
Mr. DOlNiti, on the other hand. contended that it wax
manifest from the doc;:awnts that Mr. Riddle's corn
mission comm-necd sr her, Mr. C. F. Stan.burre terminated.
The amendment of Mr. Stansbury was here put anti led,
and the report of the committee was adopted by a large
majority.
Upon the motion of Mr. TreKtKAN, of New York, it
was agreed that all the American contributors who had
maehile ry to exhibit, which they desired to have worked
by steam power, should be requested to furnish particular.
of the extent of the pow. r and the number of men they
would require.
An ads Vert,. c.mmittee, an auditing committee, and five
juror., were then appuintcd, and the proceedings termi-

WATER AT ANI.TEROAM. The want of spring

The houses arc provided with tanks. in which every drop

brought from Utrecht in stone bottles, but the main supply
comes from the Itiver Vecht. above Weetp, about twelve
miles off, in very large water-barge*. called leggcr, which
may he own on the ‘,160,1.6 canals ; and the poorer elms....
who have no cisterns, are obliged to content themselves
with this. On the tint arrival of these barges the deck is
on a level with the surface of the canal; but a pump is
inserted in the middle of it, and as the cargo iv disposed of

it goats on the top, and is carried buck for a fresh supply.
All the water in the neighbourhood being either brackish
or putrid, Rood water becomes an article of considerable
commerce. and this precious commodity is sold at a large
price, especially in winter, when it sometimi, becomes ne-
cessary in severe weather to eat, at a heavy expenw, a pa..

• THE MURDER AT NIMPNETT.

At the Western Assize held yesterday at Taunton,
John Wills was indicted for the wilts! murder of William
Wilkins by knocking him down with a spade, and when on
the ground beating him nn the head with an Italian iron,
giving him slivers mortal wounds sf which he died at
Nempnett on the Bth of February, and John Smith was
eharged with aiding and abetting him. Other counts
charged both prisoners with the murder.
Mr. Pidgin and Mr. Thrin4 cotusel for the prosecu-
tion; and Mr. Edwards defended `with ; the othcr pri-
soner was undefended.
The following evidence was taken:
Thomas Watts—l live about a gleaner of a mile from the
house where Wilkins lived. On the morning of Feb. 8 I
the prisoner inquiring where on. Hyatt lived, and I
told them about 30 yards from Wilkiis'. They then went
towards Hyatt's. About a quarter to tell o'clock Wills
came to my house and asked fur a crud of bread. Ile was
then alone. I did not give him one. aid he walked away.
J. F. Jaekman. surgeon—On I'eb.l I was sent for to see
Wilkins and his wife. I arrived ahssut two. 'Wilkins was
bleeding very much from contusions of the head. Ile was
not sensible. Ile died about ten o'cicck that evening. I
attribute his death to the km of bloat and shuck to the
nervous system produced by blows ot, the head. There
were fractures of the skull. There mud hare Insert several
blows. There were bruises on the hints and arms. I ob-
served a spade there, which was covered with blood. I saw
an Italian iron and stand. The tube wei broken on both
s, and hail blond on it. The wounds might have lure
inflicted with that iron. Mrs. Wilkins was also in an
exhausted state. 'there were blows on ler head. I saw a
stick with an iron knob to it, and with which the wounds
she had received might have been ititlietul.
Cross-examined by Mr. Edwards.—Tht kitchen is inside
the shop. Only a small portion of the ki:chen can be seen
front the outer door.
Sarah Wilkins was carried to the aline,' boa in fi chair.
She begged not to he put near the prisoner. She said-1 am
the widow of William Wilkins. We kept a shop at Nemp-
nett. lam 70; my husband was 71. 1 know the prisont et.
and knew Wills before. He hail worked at Hyatt's. The
pri.onors came for aloof of bread on the morning of the Bth
of February. They said they had no money, and they went
away. Smith stood at the door when Wills came in. They
came back again in a short time. Wills knocked me down
on the ground. I begged him to have mercy. I got up on
my knees, and Wills then struck me with a spade; he
thought I was deed. Smith had the spade first, and then
Wills took the spade and they went into the kitchen where
my husband was, and then I heard my hushand cry .` Mur-
der" two or three times. I could bear a Fenftt,,, but could
not see them. I had a pcnknilb in my pocket with a hit of
silver in the ivory handle. lit id some silver money in my
pocket. We had an Italian iron in the house, which was
on the tattle to be cleaned. I saw it in my house when 1
came to myself, and it was then broken all to piece,. We
sold tobacco ; it was made up in two ounce packets. This
is the penknife. I have bad it for twenty years. I know it
by marks.
Csross-examined by Mr. Edwards—My husband and 1
were both in the kitchen. The old man was sitting in the
chiinney corner. I war near the door, handy to the passage.
Wills had it Aunt stick with an iron knoti. I did not see
them fora minute before they came up to me. lie struck
me directly. I was stunned fir u bit. I had my eye toward.
the door to snake my escape. Smith had not souse in when
Wills struck me; he seas stmding at the door with the
spode in hi. hand. After Wills had lest me for dead, he
went and struck my husband. I did not see the blow, bull
heard bin try " Murder." (The poor old woman was here
so much overcome that she was obliged to be assisted by the
sUrgeolls and have stimulants. She kept crying " Datil ee,
don't ee." I was befor, the magistrates the same day, and
had then a distinct recollection of what had taken plate. I
did not Mel' Smith strike a blow, hot I have reconciled shwa
that I saw hint with a spade. I did say that I saw Smith go
into the kitchen where my husband was. I think I said
before the magistrates that whether Smith came in or not 1
could not say.
Elizabeth Derrielt—l live at Nempnett-street, about 20
yards front Wilkins'. On Saturday, the Sth of February,
m the morning about 10 o'eltwk, I sent me daughter out.
She returned, and in eolifiequence of what she told me I
went to the I se' of Wilkins. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins
were nn the flour coverts! with blood. I had seen them well
at 9 o'clock that morning.

Thunuts Radford —I li";e about three miles from !coup-
nett. I w•a. in a Held that murniug about ID tielock,

yards from Wilkins's. I saw Will and ;mother man going
op the field toseank Wi!kins's house. I afterwards heard
an alarm, oral I went to Wilkins's house. I saw some foot-
marks near the door. I followed the tracks on to Itlagdon,
about live miles otE I then went to an inn,and I saw the two
prisoners, whws, dres-astvorrespondisl with those of the two
Illl'n I had seen go up the held that morning. I noticed Smith's
trousers; there were a few small spots of blood on them ;
they looked very fresh. I asked lint how they came there.
Ile said he had helped a man to kill a pig the Thursday week
previou.sly. It appeared to me that flirt had been tubbed
user the spats. (In his deposition it did not appear that the
witness had stated this latter part.) The prisoners were
eating 'mad and cheese when I found them at the inn.
Janus ('lark—l ow a constable. The two prisoners were
given into custdy. I searched them. Ott Wills I found
four half quart( rs of tobacco in packets, and a penknife (be-
fore identified by the old woman), a razor rad 4s. On
Smith I foll Ult small pack. (s of louse tobareu ;mil Sis.
.. .. ..

Henry Bath—l knide the prisoners. I saw them on Fri-
day evening at Übley, mar Nempnett. Smith had u stick
in his pocket similar to the one now produced. After they
were in custody 1 saw them, and hall a cunversation with
them aft :sr they were lovfore the mazi.tride4. I told Smith I
had Well him on the Friday. He said he recollected seeing
me. I said, "The old woman was wrong in saying you were
there on the Friday evening." He said, " No, we were nut,
but we were there twice on Saturday morning, and the old
01311111 was right in saving the old man (Wills) asked
fora loaf ot• bread, Mid tle.t ws had nn money to pay for
it." They then went away, and afterwards they said they
would go hack to the Tannic and have something:They then
went back to the house. Wills went in tint, und when he
(Smith) went in he heard the err of " Munlm." He then
making use of the v.v.( o, and ho took it front him
and made use of it himself. I said, "'then you ronfes,
j doing it yourbelli." Ile made no answer, but coloured up in
his fare.

The statement+ of the prisoners before the magistrates
were then put in.
Smith said-1 have been in company with Wills for the
last week. Yesterday morning (Feb. 5) 1 au. in company
with him ut Ne.nionett. We were near the cottage of Wilkins.
Wills went into the euttaae. lle had said before he went in
that he would get something twfore he came out. Ile came
out and said there was a man in the house, and we should not
he able to get anything. lie went away, and returned in
three-quarters of an hour. Ile said he would have some-
;11Id walked in. I was outside, and I heard Wills say,
"Now, mistress, I have got some money Ibr the !Dread." I
th,n heard the old man cry, " Murder." 1 wont in, and
saw hint strike both the man anti woman with his spade.
I took it from him, and thin he Ivat them with nn Italian
iron. 11 tore off the woman's pocket, and we went away.
After we had mine a little distance Wills said he had gut Ili.,
and he gave me :Is. tkl. for my share.
Wills, in his statement, said-1 have been in company
with Smith far the last week. Ott Saturday morning (Feb.
5) we were looking about for something to eat. lie mid,
"'there is a shop." And he went to it and came out, and
said he found a man and woman there. Ile asked ha. a
WI of bread, but we had no 3111/11V V, and he came out and
we went away, We went to several houses and begged
for bread. In an hour afterwards we went back to new
the eattams. lie went towards it. I remained where I
wait. In about twenty miuutes he came to Ml' and brought
a loaf of bread and gave me some money. Soon afterwards
I saw bloat on his trouser+. I said, " You have been doing
+amethitmt." lie said " Ile had not ;" and he put some
dirt on the spots of blood.
Mr. Edwards then addressed the jury for the prisoner
Smith. lie admitted that one of the priyiners must have
, committed the murder, but he urged that there was nut
sufficient evidence to show that Smith had any knowledge c
what Wills intended dining : and that. they fore, there was
not such a guilty know-1.54e or uuderstandiu,g as to make
Smith responsible for this act.
. . . . .

Wills a.t id he had done the rubbery, but not the murder.
lie had his judge in Heaven. lie did nut know in what
state the old people were left.
The Lord Chief Ilaron, in summing up, observed, that,
at &clock both these old people Lid been seam in perfect
health, awl at ten the old man was found lying in his
kitchen mortally wounded, and he died a short time after-
wards; the old woman was also desperately wounded.
Footmarks were seen ; they were followed, and at length
the prisoners, who had. shortly before the murder, been oven
together in the neighbourhood, w, re discovered together.
On one was found the knife of the old woman, and on both
money, which each prisoner admitted was taken from the
old woman. If there was no other evidence, could there
be a doubt upon their minds ? 'the law was this: If two
parties were together jointly concerned in a felony, and in
the commission of the I's:luny one of them committed a
murder in the presence of the other, it was murder iu both,
and lamentable would be the uncertainty of the law
and smell would be the 'safety of her Majesty's subjects, if,
upon reasoning such as they had heard 'o-day, a criminal
who at least participated in the plunder, who allowed that
he was jirs-sent on theusion, though not in the same
room, could with impunity admit so much share in the guilt
as to have partaken of the plunder of the old woman, and
yet mg he respousible for the death of the old man. Al-
though, fig the necessary prof, etion of the lives of her
Majesty's subjects that was the rule of law, the jury would
still have to ...icier whether they could entertain any
doubt that both the prisoners were parties to the transac-
tion—each of them possibly actively—both of them at least
consenting to the death. his lordship then read over the
whole of the evidence, and cautioned the jury that although
they owed a duty to the offers, yet ut the same time they
owed a duty to fOrilly, and must give their verdict ac-
cording to the evidence they had heard and the oaths they
had taken.

The jury vvry shortly returned a verdict of Guilty against
both prison,rrv.
Ills lordship thin passed sentence of death.
The crowd w..s intense.
