Mid before Mr. Ja':'rc 'LEATH, Mr. ,Tustiee Ls
At axe, Mr. Baren Se trot, mui $t :ftral Aldermen.
Ye4terday, the Coitrt was crowded at a vary earls
blur, every person anxious to hear the trial of Wil-
liam Moss, for the late murder in f'eather's-court,,
Ilolborn, and to see the person of the Prisoner
Ladies of the genteelest appearance crowded every.
part of the Court, and the heat was, for a time, in-
supportable ; many were obliged to be carried nnt
of the galleries. At ten o'clock, the Judges eras
rived., and the Prisoner, William ,Sfax, was put to the
Bar, in lifted far the wilful Murder of Benj %min
Mr. Cossr, on the part of the prosecittion, stat-d
the case. He said, the deceased and the Prisoner
had been acquainted, and were both in the habit of
visiting Elizabeth Rimes, where they often met,
but were, for sense reason, hostile to each other. It
happened that the Prisoner was front home for some
time, and, on hi-. return on the 11th of this• month,
was seen walking up and down tha Court, apd look-
i'ig in at Elizabeth Rimes's window. The Learned
Gentleman then wean over the evidence, as after-
wards detailed by the witnesses, and concluded by
saying, that he should call the Surgeon first ; as, if
he failed in evidence, with revel to the cause of the
death of the deceased ; he Was aware that the Pri-
soner must be acqaisted.
Mr. Hardy, a surgeon, at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, deposed, that, on the 12th of this month,
between twelve and one o'clock in the morning,
the deceased was bra aught to the Hospital ; when he
LAW him, he seas dead. He examined the head,
which had .some small wounds on it ;I there were
also some slight mounds in the face ; but nothing
more than. a man would be liable to receive in box-
ing. He sapposed he died of the wounds he receiv-
ed, but he could not positively say. It sometimes
happenea, that persons died, after receiving blows.
from other causes ; and, on tl:e whole, he could not
positively say, that the blows given, were the cause
of the death.
Thomas Oven, a buy el sixteen year; of age, de-
posed. that he was, on the night of the I lth, stand-
ing opposite the lied Lion, in Weston-park, Lin-
coln's-Minas-Ids. The Prisoner came from Fifa-
Owes-cowl, stood next door to the Red Lint for a
short time. and then returned back to leather's-
noun. Prisoner having pulled off his jacket, or
imock-frock, looked in at Elizabeth Rinses's win-
dow. After this, the Prisoner went up Feather's-
court, and witness followed him; bin, having lost
sight of him, he went into Holborn. In a abort
time after be returned, and, as he was walking
along. he heard the sound of violent bl •ws, and
Wtritto the end of Feather's-court, when he saw the
Palioner bottling the deceased by one band, and
him several blows with the other. Tlie de-
Wised disknot appear te nz to any resistance; and,
'though he was on, his fee', seemed as if he would
liner dalieu, but that the Prisoner held !linkup, The
Prisoner then ran away, the deceased fell down, and
groaned. What he saw, did not altogether last
mote than a minute. After this, lea went to the
'Public-house, and, having called together several
people, the deceased was carried to St. BarCht)lo.
mew's Hospital.
Mr. Justice Hearth said, be'saw no use in pro-
ceeding in the investig4ion,,ip it could, at in.
only amount to manslaughter ; and whether it did
amount to that, or not, remained with the Jury to
con-ids. The b, y, his Lordship csbaerved, saw the
dec. ased Standing on his legs, and the Prisoner
beating him ; but the surgeon could not say, that
this heating was the cause of his death. Ho 'Lire.
fore left the case with them, to consider nliett.er
she .Plisons r nas guilty of manslauglaer, or not ?
as to mut der, it was entirely oat of the gat-Aims
'I he derv, in au instant, raw lied a vet JO Guii.'y
fendevirkier.
, Mt. Justice Heart' said, he was extremely sot ry
tes.see such publications in the news-papers, and
in papers crying about the streets, tending to preju-
. dice the public mind in this particular c.t:e. He
was hapr, however, to see, that the Jury were so
ready in pronouncing a verdiet, conformable to the
• staia rules of justice.
The Prisoner era* about five feet ten inches in
. height, strongly made, and well proportioned. His
ecanplexion wax pale. he had high cheek-bones, and
was, in a trifling,degree, marked with the small-pox.
Altogether he did not appear to be so desperate a
that aCter as he has been represented.
Jura litirrousim was indiesed for forging a certain
. order, for the payment of 301. Ss. 4sl. and uttering
the sante as true, knowing it to be forged, with in-
tenet.) defraud Messrs. Snead, Sykes, and Co. bank-
ers ; and also to defraud Messrs. Littledale and
.
te.iharlton Elliot, Clerk in the Bank of Messrs.
Snead. and Co. in Mansion-house-street, deposed,
that Messrs. Littlenlale and Fuy did business at his
house. The Prisoner came to him on the 22t1 of
Jim; last. about eleven o'clock in the morning, and
asltectfor a blank check for Mr. Littledale ; who, he
said, was waiting in a coffee-house for it. Witness
"' was going to 'give him a bundle, but the Prisoner
• said, lie warted but one. He accordingly gave him
one, and he went away. In a short time after, on
the same day, the Prisoner returned again, and said
s Ise had made a mistake, as Mr: Littledale wanted
• some more Checks. The Witness then gave him
two quires, and he went off with them.
Charles Lial, a Clerk in the same honse, remem-
bees a porter, of the name of John Burrows, corn-
' ing to him on the 22d of June, and presenting a
thtck for payment, which was now produced in
°sum 'TheWhnest said, as soon as he looked at
r it, 'he knew it to be forged, and desired the porter
to bring the person there who gave it to him. '1 he
porter accordingly wesst away, and, in about a qua: •
ten of an hear, come back with the P:i, oner.
Je•tus Burrows, a porter, received the :heck from
the Prisoner on the 224 of June, arid vent with it
to the bank of Messrs. Snead and Co. The Pri-
saner desired'him to bring the money to him at Gar-
saway's coffsinhouse. When lie was coming from
the hank, after payment had been refused there, lie
trust the Prisoner in Change.alley, who asked him,
I.olitrielherte bad got the money ? The Witness thee

saner could not find the gentleman. They the, I
went to several other cutree-huiws ; ited,ltt r•ngtl,.
at the Turkey Coif, e-h,inse, the Pt isoncr Interlined
to escape. The Witness then ()retook him. oftd,
brought him to the banking-house. When the
soner waiabrrught into the counting-house, he was
s !arched, and the checks he had got in the morning
flunk! on him, though he at tirst said, he had given
them assay. He also differed in his account of the
person he had gos the forged check from. at onetime
saying, he had it from Mr. Foy, ausl, fit another.
trona a Mr.-

Several Wiznesses were then called, who proved,
that the check was a forgery.
Mr. Brown,
,a partner in Mr. Whitbread's hr,w-
ery, and several of the most respedtablc metchaats
in London, gave the Prisoner a roost excellent elm-
ratler.

Mr. Baron SUTTON summed up the evideuce,
observing, that if the .fury had :Inv doubt on the
subjea, his excellent charaeter should have a peat
weight.
The Jury retired, and, in half an hour, returned a
verdiel of Grotty—hut strongly recommended him
to mercy, on account of his good character and
youth.
the Prisoner WAS not 17 years of age, and a gen-
teel mild-looking lad.

Calherim• Rase w.ts indiaed for the wilful murder
of Elizabeth Monaghan' by striking her with a
poker on the left side of the head, of which she
languished and died.

It appeared from the evidence of Mary Cnrcaran,'
that, in the'heginning of.fuly last, the Prisoner and
the deceased, who lodged in the same house ssith
her, went out to drink together, and, on coming
home tipsey, they quarreled about the reckoning,
each alleging that she had paid it. Words getting
high, they came at last to blows; and, after snuffling
for some time, the deceased pushed the Prisoner
down on th.r bed, and held her there. After this,
the .Prisoner ok up the poker, and struck the de-
ceased r. the Witness then wrenched the poker out
of her baud, and turned them both out of the room.
Spey both went up stairs fighting, and came down
again in a short time. 'the nest day the deceased
welt out about her business, and was often drunk
before she died, which happened on the of
August.
Mr. Hardy, a surgeon, saw the woman after she
was dead, and opened her head. There was :an
abscess at the left side of the head t but it, as it
was stated. she often got drunk, that might have
increased the inflammation, and hastened her death.

111 r. Justice HCAII il said. in point of law, this
could only amount t,. manslaughter. The bldw
bad been struck on a• sudden provocation.
The Jury immediately found her Godly of Man-
s/010W.
