EVIDENCE pOItTHE PROSECUTION.

John Person, examined by 11r. 801. L A mn—Ou thc 30th of Oe.
sober I went with Upson, Ituthren„ and Ilunt, in search of the
bony of the deceased. It was found in a pond, in the neighbour-
hood cif Metres. The spot was pointed mit by Hunt. The body
was concealed in a sack. The head was covered, and the body,
down to the knees. A rope was coiled round it ; the rope was two
or three yards long ; a 1140+1e wits tied to the end of it. I was not
praetor when the body was examined. It was conveyed to the Ar-
tichoke, at Mince.
Crowe-examined by Mr. Annnews—The pond is on the right.
hand side of the road towards Elstree. lan acquainted with the
neighbouring country, and I believe a stranger might easily lose
his way among the roods. There are several leading to the saute
spot, by routes more or less circuitous. A person ignorant of the
country tuight easily mistake his way in that twighbourhood. The
roads are very bad and narrow, SO that it is impossible, in some
places, for anything to pass. The roads are hilly as well as oar.
row ; and even by day-light a person who knows them ought to tra-
%id slowly.
By
.Mr. Tub:Newt 111—( ht the day of the search there were four
ua in enntosit besides the coactinum. The distance of the pond
how Oil!' is about two aglow We all searched in a
body. We were not above two minutes finding the body, after the.
spot was poirtnl out.
By Mr. A E W S.—The
be yrm! has a considerable part along-
side the mad shallow. The was bump in the deepest part.
Could anybody base placed it there without wading through the
pod, (PICT his boats in water ? No.
On the quesion hying repeated in nearly the same terms, the
witness said, " I think it might done."
By the Jr Nin.—le it possible to deposit the body in the pond,
without watliegtbeough the pond ?-- V .1,, my hoot.
How; by what means ?—lf two own laid hold of the rope they
might have swung it into that penieutir place.
By Mr. Ait nacws.—But it was nut possible for one man to
have done it?—No.

Was the pond very full ?--Ves.
How mw h does it measure aerues ?—A boot as far as from you
to me tabout four or live ystils).
Were any of you obliged to get into the water?—None of ua
were obliged to do so, because we had a holder.
Re-examined—How CAM! von to search that pond in particu-
lar ?---W e understood it contained the body.
Did anybody direst you to it I.—Ves, Sir, Mr. Hum did.
Was it a long rope that was coiled round the body T-1t was
wound round two or three times. The body might have been
thrown in and dragged to the tide by the rope. The pond is rather
longer than this Collo, but not much more. The body was out
drawn out or the reek in ray presence.
By the Jr to:E.— There WAS* large handkerchief full of stones
tied to the eml of the rope.
Role.rt Vield, examined by Mr. Bit 11 r. e keep the Arti-
choke a: F:lstree. It is on the St. .11han's auk of Etsrree. 1 rt.
Metlibll a dead body being brought to any house on the 30th of
October last. I paw It drawn out of the pond ; I came up just at
the time% I did not assist in drawing it out. It was in a sack,
I.eneneti by a cord. Thu: turd was fastened round the neck, the
middle, and the feet; and attached to it wa, a large handkerchief
full of stories. There were about tire or three yards haste, I sup-
peas noultred so by drawing ,hc body out. That 110.1 y was after-
wards identified by William Itexworthy and Richard IV rare.
John Elmo. examined by Mr. lit3l.l.att D.—l am an officer of
Bow-street. I was at Watl.wd during the examination of the pri-
soners I was there several days. tln the Thursday after the
body was found, I had • converemion with Thurtell. I ass one
of the party who .earched for the body. N'e had a rake, a pile,
and a pitchtOrk ; we mandied tur some time without any .arcesa.
A man came by with a ladder. Ilecson was at work in the middle

of the pond. Hunt and I stood nearest to the Artichoke. fiance
pointed out that the spot was nearer the hedge. The body was'
found there. It was put on the ladder and conveyed to the AIM.'
choke. I was not present when the sack was tepeaM.
William Re:worthy examined by Mr. BIRODSSICK.—I Mop •
billiard-table at Spring-gardens ; I was indmando acquainted with
the deceased, ;William Weave.l saw his body lying dead at the
Artichoke the day of the inquest ; I am quits positive as to its
identity.
Crom-eramined by Mr. Awonows--There was a mark of a
pistol on the. left side of the head. I knew hiss sa perfectly as if
he had been living. I had known him for sixteen years. 1 bad
not the least doubt. I spoke then as certainly as Ido now.
Richard Wearc examined by Mr. Rohhartn.-1 had a brother
named 'William. I saw a body at the Artichoke, at Mater,, in
company with Mr. Re:worthy. knew it to be tat of my bro-
ther. (This witness appeared much affected in giving his c.d.
dence.)
Thomas Abel Ward examined by Mr. liantamea.-1 am •
moron at Watford. On the dsy a the inquest I examined • body
at Elstree. There were several marks of widener about the kitl
temple, apparently occasioned by some round blunt instrument.
The marks corresponded with the muzzle of a pistol then shown to
me. It appeared to have penetrated the skull. Near this wound
there was • fracture of the skull. Several portions of the hone were
broken off and driven into the substance of tic brain. The pistol
would have produced those effects, by being forced into the Mad
without being fired. The wound was sufficient to have produced
death very quickly. on the right cheek there was the appearance
of a gun or pistol shot wound. I could not trace the wound below
the integuments. That wound could not have been the cause of
death. OOn each side of the neck there were incised wounds. one on
the right and two on the left. A knife would have inflicted them.
The jugular vein was divided on the left side.
Caro-examined by Mr. PLATT.--a!ertainly the instrument plum
have penetrated the had. Mote than one bone of the skull was ,
broken, and the injured space was larger than the muzzle of • pis-
tol. A larger instrument than • pistol might have been introduord
into the wound. It might hare been produced by • larger instru-
meat. The orifice was about an inch°, an inch and a quarter long,
and 7.fiths of an inch wide..-1 By the desire of Mr. Justice Park,
the witness drew a representation of the wound, which was handed
to the Jury, with the pieces of bone extracted from the skull of the
deceased.)—The fleshy orifice did not correspond with the Ira ore .
of the skull. The integuments might have been drawn together ;
after the bones were extracted. The size of the orifice in the inte-
guments was large enough to admit my two fingers. The diriffipg
of the jugular vein would hare been sufficient to have produded I
death. Neither of the arteries were divided. A great hemorrhage
must have taken place. There was nothing to show that it had
been Indicted on a living person. It is impossible for me to my
whether that injury was inflicted after death. After a bodrbas
been lying in the water three or four das I cannot trust to the
external indieitr. The body was quite fresh. The henlorr
from the jugular vein is very uncertain. It was not quite
It might In maay instances be difficult to identify • body tat has
lain in the wall/ several days; hut in this case, if I had known the
deceased, I think I should have known him again.
He-erainineil.--1 have no doubt that the wound in the head was
the cause of the death of the deceased.
tisirge ltuthven was then called, and directed to bring with him
the things found in the possession of Hunt.
George Itudiven examined by Mr. llohLann—lie is an
officer of lkr-street ; hr apprehended the prisoner Thurtell;
he found s knife, and pocket pistol not loaded, in the coat pocket

residence on the day after, and found there • double-barrel gun in
a case, with the name of Manton on it. Under the table there was
a hag, and a bundle which sou wet; there WAS also a carpet bag,
which was empty.—l Here these articles were produced, and Wm-

of which had been in witness's possession since he haa taken them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Calve Y.—The door of Thurtell's room
when witness arrested him was open and unlocked.; any person
might have access to it. Admitted that the blood found on the
clothes might be caused by • person cutting himself when sharing.
The drawers were also unlocked ; the mad-servants of the house
might see every thing that was there. The articles were tied up;
the house was • public one. lie was not aware that there were
many inmates. He arrested Thurtell at about half-past seven ;be
was in bed when he took him into custody. There was another
man sleeping in the mom, not in the same bed with prisoner.

day from linage Jones.
'fins witness was not aoss-examined.
_ .

I%9lham Probert wan next called. Ile was brought from the
dock ; his appearance on the table excited the most intense atten-
tion. Ile was examined by
111 r. lin ft r.—l occupied the cottage at Gill's llill.lane, about
the latter end of October. 1 inhabited it about six months before
that period ; my family consisted of Mrs. Probert, her two sisters,
myself, maidservant, and boy ; one only of my wife'. sisters,
Miss Noyes, was in the house at the latter end of last October. 1
had also the children of Thomas Thurtell ; none of my own were
with me at the time. Thomas Thurtell is brother of the pri-
soner. I have had a long acquaintance with John Thuncll, the
prisoner ; he was repeatedly with me at the cottage. He had often
been spurting with witness in that neighbourhood. Prisoner must
have been well acquainted with the Mall to the cottage, and with
all the roads in that part of the country. If is
about a mile and a quarter front the high road to at. Alban's, it
would be the regular reed to Radlett ; it would be the nearer
way. The cottage is distant from yburn-turnpike fourteen
miles and a quarter. At the latter end of October prisoner
lodged at Mr. Tetsall's, at the Coach and Hones, Conduit.
stmt; his brother also lodged with him at the same house.
I did not procure these lodgings fos them ; I never spoke to Mr.
Tetsall on the subject; I met them repeatedly at that house ; I
dined with them on the 24th of October at Tenall's ; Hunt was
also present ; Noyes was also there ; after dinner Thurtell, the
prisoner, spoke about money ; about three or four days before the
24th, I had borrowed ten pounds from hint ; he said you must let
me have it back by Thursday or Friday ; I answered that I had
nut collected any money as yet ; ho said," 1 shall want it ssalay or
to.momiw, if I (10 not get it it will be 900 E out of toy pocket ; let
me therefore have it toanorrow ;" on Friday I borrowed 101. from
Mr. 'Penal, and paid Thurtell five of it after dinner ; he spoke to
me about toy cottage, and asked if I would go down on that night,
if I did Hunt should drive me down, I said that I would tub down ;
be said he would go in company, that he had a friend to meet
after 6 o'clock, and he would also take hint down, adding these
words If I have the opportunity I mean to do him, as be bas
robbed one of several hundreds of pounds." lie also told me that
if I took up Hunt, I should leave him about a mile and a half
blogoite Mitres, as he should want bins there 4 be said If 1 was
fearful of not goluktlown, I should give Hunt one pound.
Ity the Coe err—Was Huck present at this convenuorion ?
Witness—M Lord, he had Just SCOW into the moat, and
'Thurtellssad, " Joe, this is for you, to hire a horse If Pro-
beet dues not go down, and you know where to stop . fur
me." To this I did not bear Hunt make any answer. I
gavehim twenty shillings in silver; Thurtell left the Coach and
Horses immediately after, in a chabe-gig, drawn by a gray horse
with a whitish face. I believe it was Hunt brought the gig; 1 did
not see Inns. I left the house at a little after five o'clock, tor the
vantage, In my own gig, taking Hunt with Wel at the top of Ox-
ford-street Hunt, at my request, went into a shop and bought a loin
of pofk for supper • at the end of the street he said " it is hoe Jack
is to take up his friend ;" we overtook Thurtell about four miles
front town; Hunt desired meta thrive forward and take co notice.

I At this .period a ladywitsoteiniitted into the Dock. His Lord-
sloop did not appear satisfied with this proceeding, but upon the I
°them informing him that it was done at the particular desire of
the Sheriff, he made no comment.]
The win s s continued.—There were at this time two gentlemen
In the gig; we pawed by andsidel nothing. We stopped at the Bald-
faced dtag, about seven miles from London; we did nut stop before,
it was then about • quarter to seven. I asked Hunt who the person
was that was with Thurtell; be answered" you are not to know bum;
you never saw him; you do not know even his name." I took spirits
at the Raid-faced ; Hunt walked on; he said he conp not go in,
for he had no rettlThell the hune-cloths, which he had taken from
the hustler; stopped there about twenty minutes; 1 then drove on,
and took up Hunt, near Ldgeware; we then implied at the Led
Lion, Ldgeware, and took a glass of brandy and water ; we did not
remain for more than tan 111121Utell ; a little tardier on I bought a
half bushel of corn for ay horse, as 1 bad none at home, and I put
it in a sack. Hunt here said, " is it not astonishing where Thurtell
ran be ? he could not surely have pawed us, a. we have not been out
of the road ;" we here drove to the Artichoke public-house, kept by
Field, at Lbotree ; it was then shout ten minutes before eight
o'clock ; neuter of us left the gig; we drank tour or live glasaes of
brandy and water in the gig; we waited in the experuition of.
Thunell corning tip; we thoooglot we heard the sound of a home
and chaise, and we started upon that; we stopped at the Red Lion
about three quarters of an lour • we then proceeded about half •
tune without st o • to irbillititore Lodge; here Hunt got out of
the gig, and said he would wait for Thurtell ; 1 then those 4.111
through Radiate so thees
By die 4; ot; aT .—BeGierfant? Yes, my Lott When near

the cottage I met Tbttrtell, on foot, about one hundred yards short
of the cottage ; no person was with him. 11. said, " Hallo ! where
is Hunt ?'• I answered I did not know, that I left him waiting for
him near Phlllimore Lodge. Prisoner said " I do not want him now,
I have done the trick without him." I ;irked him to explain him-
self. Ile said, " I have killed the Mend 1 brought down with me.
I have put a villain oat of die world. Ile has robbed me of three
or tour huudred pounds. I said, Hood Hod! I hope you have not
killed the man." He said, "Itis no consequence to veer—you do
not know him.—you never SSW him. do bark and seek Hunt. You
know best where you left him." I then returned, and found Hunt
near the place where I left him.
By the Cot RT—Thurtell was not with you ?—No, my Lord ; I
told Hunt that prisoner had killed his friend ;he said, 'Jr Milk
God lam out of it ; lam glad he did it without me." He added,
" I cannot think were the devil he passed us, as I could not see
him pass any where ; I am, however, glad that I atn out of it."
Am we posed on he said, " There was the place where we were to
have dune it." Ile would not tell nic the name of the person ; he
said, •• You do nut know him ; you shell not know his name ; be
robbed Jack of several hundred pounds, and we weredetermined to
have it back again." As we apprechcd the cottage we saw 'Thur-
tell ; we drove through the gate, and lie was a few yards inside ;
Hunt said, " Thurtell, where could you bevel:rained me?" Pri.
loner said, "No matter where I passed you—l have done the
trick." Ile then continued. " Why the devil did you let Probert
drink at his damned public-houses, when you knew what was to be
done ?" Met said, •• I made sure you weft behind us, other-
wise I would not hevestoppeil." At this time we anived at the cot-
tage,and I took the loin of pork tothe cook into the kitchen toddy'.
(Here the heat was so excessive, that the windows and doors were
obliged to be opened. and several persons, who, in defiance of the
Judge's desire, were standing up, were peremptorily ordered either
to sit down or to be removed by the officers.]--I then took Hunt
Into the parlour and introduced him to Mrs. Probed ; she did not
know him before. I went out of the house with Hunt ; Thurtell
went either with us or followed us immediately. We all went to
the stable. Thurtell said, • I'll take you to where the body lies." I
then returned to the patiour, and desired that supper should not
be ready till our return. I assigned as a reason to aim. Probert for
our absence, that we were going to 31r. Nicholie's to ask for a day's
shooting on the morrow ; 1 left them in the yard. Thurtell, betide
we went, took in his gigs sack and curd ; we went down the lane;
I carried a lantern ; as we went along, Thurtell said to Hunt," Why
did you not conic ?" II tent answered, "We made sure that you were
behind, but fer that I would befit time; we walked on." finartell
said, " Probers, it is fie:Oldie/n:lnd near thesecond turning." When
we came to the Owe, Thukall sald, "Still farther; look in this ace;"O
we began to move the haves, and look about for &pistol and knife;
neither of us could find them ; we then got over the hedge, and
found the b.aly lying ; theft was a red shawl wrapped about the
had.—(here a shawl was pioduced.l-1 cannot say that was the
shawl it is like it ; I cannot be certain. Thurtell then searched
the pockets of the deceseed ; he took out a pocket-book, containing
three 61. notes, -nieinoraialunut, and sane silver. There was no
watch or purse. Thurtell said he took them immediately when he
killed him. They then put the hotly in the sack head foremost ;
the sack reached down to the knees, and tied it with a amt.—
, (Here witness identified the sack.)-1 cannot say if the cord was
tied to the sack, or if they were carried separately ; they left the
body in *newly-ploughed field. Thurtell then said to me, '•NV hen I
first shot hint, he jumped dot of the gig, and ran like the devil,
singing nut, I will return you all the money I have won if my
life be spared."
liy the COURT.—DO you know that Thurtell belonged at any
time to the sea service ?--Witniss..._3ly Lord, I do not.
Ily the COritT—The phrase "singing out" is a curious one,
and may be in use amongst sailors. •
The witness continued—Thurtell said he then leaped out of the
gig and ran after him, overtook him, gut him under, and began to
cut his jugular vein, but thought he would never stop his singing
out. Ile then jammed the pistol Into his head, gave it • turn, and
then knew he had done hint.—( This part of the statement seem-
ed to produce a deep sensation. )—'Thurtell then said to Hunt, " You
ought to hate bees with me at the time, for once I thought he would
have got the better of me ; and the d—.—d pistols were like squibs,
they were of no use." Hunt said," I should have been with you,
but I thought one of the pistols would have killed liiin at the first
shot." We then returned to the cotter, and supped. In the course
of the evening Thurtell produced • handsome gold watch with •
new double case, the chain was of gold.-1 Hem • chain was pro.
dared, which the witness identified as that attached to the wat;h.l—
took off the chain, and presented it to Mrs. Proltert, say-
ing "It was fitter for a lad y than a gentleman." She would not
accept it ; she refused fora long time ; at last she did accept it. He
then put the watch and geld seal into his pocket. There was in the
cottage but one spare bed, though he could not well call it a spare
one, for bliss Noyes slept In it: and Mrs Pmbert asked them when
they wished to go to bed, as her sister should sleep with the chil-
dren and they should have hoe bed. They expressed thanks. but said
MtIW Woukenot inconvenient/ Miss Noyes; they worldseep on the
sofa Hatt sang two or three songs during the evening. I believe
him talk a profesoietned singer. The ladies went to bed at about I?
o'clock. Thurtell took out the pocket-hook and purse; in the
latter were some sovereigns and silver Munn say Ito. many.
lie gave II unt tied me six ponds each, • five-pousti note and ape
sovereign, saying, " Here Is your share of the blunt." There wore
also several papers and meinotandumo ; these, with the purse, were
all burnt. There was deo a same bag ; it was opened. 'Thurtell
said it belonged to theme. In it there was Teeming Msfasal and
Ishii* ling dieft4riabil every thing was examined and put in again.
'there were two or three silk haodkerchiefs, and • backgammon-
box with dice and cards. Here the backganunon-box was peo.
ducted, a, d identified by witness,) There was also a double-barrel
gun. Ido not recollect the enterer of the covering. It was taken
out of the ease and looked pt. All these article were taken to
town the next day by Thurtell. Ile then proposed a glue of
brandy, and said, "I mean to have Herber Beaumont and Ia *oda."
Ifs the Coy IT.-.WIIO is Barbs Beaumont ?
Mr. fie NEV—I believe, my lewd, he is the racer of a fire
once, with whom the prisoner has had some controversy.
ITitseso—r es,py fiord, that is the man.
Did Thurtell say anything at the time ?—Thurtell said, Mat
us put It in the pond.'• I said," You shall not put it in the pond.
foe it will he my ruin."
It'hat did Thurtell say to that ?--Ile Raid if it had not been for
the mistake in the appointment with Hunt, we r hould have re-
turned to town and inquired of A'eon's friends why be bad nut re-
turned.

%1 hat was done after that ?—First only Thurtell and Hunt went
out for a meaner of an hour ; the former then returned, and said,
• Prohert, he is trap Iteail, we can't carry him." Thurtell said,
" Will you go with me, I will put the bridle on my horn and
fetch him.' Thuntil and 1 went to the stable, and left Hunt
standing near the rate. •
Ititl you go down to the hotly ?—Yes, Thurtell and I went down,
and Hunt waited about. Thurtell and I put the body on the horse,
and brought it to Mr. Wardell's field, near my garden gate. Hunt
then took the horse hack to the stable, and came to the garden to
Martell and me. We then took a lantern and threw the body into
the pond. The feet were part under water. Thurtell tied a cord
round the feet of the deceased. I dragged it into the centre of the
road. We all three then returned to the cottage.
lild you soon after that go to bed ?—I almost immediately after-
wards went to bed. When I went up-stairs, I found my wife up.
What time did you come clown the neat morning ?—About nine
o'clock. Thurtell asked ow to go down the lane; he said, be and
Hunt had been down to look for the pistol, but they could not Iliad
it. I agreed to go down, and in the course of the day I did go
down ; but seeing a person about, I did not stay.
Did not Thurtell and Hunt go to town on the Saturday ?—After
breakfast they went away in Thurtell's gig, and on the Sunday
they came down again, as did Thomas Noyes and Thomas Thur-
tell. Thos. Thurtell and Hunt came in the gig, and John Thur-
tell and Noyes walked. blunt brought a bundle of clothes and a
spade. I asked what be brought the spade for ? Hunt said, to bury
tdeeetuterl.

How war Ilunt dressed when he came to the cottage'—He wu
very dirty. lie asked for a room, and went up stairs. IWlten he
came down he was drenood very well, in almost new clothes.
Hunt told me they belonged to the deceased. I knew Hunt
brought a spade, for he told me so himself. lie threw it over into
my garden ; it was a new spade. It was to bury the deceanell.
What occurred after thin ?—John l'hurteU and I walked round
the pond. Thin-tell asked If the body bad risen ? 1 said, •• No."
Thurtell said, " No; I understand it would be for a month."
Did you ace Mr. Niatolls about that elute saw Mr. Nicholls
on the Sunday evening. ' •
Did Mr. Nicholls ray anything toyrualwout hearing the report
; of a pistol on the Friday night ?-11 e 41W some one had fired a
pUWINT la Luitre 11;11.1spe on Friday night, and cries of murder
were hoard. I told 'Mona and "Hunt what Mr. Mebane had
said. On. them,John 'Fhentellsaid, "Then I ant booked."
said, s• ram afraid it te a bad job; they know all about it. lam
very awry for what happened here;
.1 ant afraid it will bents
rum." 'Muriel! said, •• Oh ! never mind, Probert, they can do
nothing to you." I said, " The body must be taken out of the
pond."-
What answer did Thurtell make to that P—He said, " When
you are all gore to heel I will take the body up, and bury it in the
garden." I said that would be as bad. Thurtell then replied,
1 will bury it where neither you itur any one else can find it."
When weput into the psilour, Hunt said, " Prubert, they can do
nothing with you or me, because we were neither of us in it."
On the Sunday night, did Thurtell and Mint go to bed?—No,
Thurtell and hunt eat tip all night ; Thomas Noyes and Thomas
Thurtell went to bed. Thomas Thurtell slept with his children,
and Thomas Noyes slept in his sister's bed. The next morning
Thurtell and Hunt told me that they went in the might to make a
grave for the deceased, ben the do's were barking all night, which
prevented them. Ilut they said that they would come down the
next night, and take the body right away, and that would settle
me altogether.
Did the party go away nn the Monday ?-I"es, they did; Thomas;
Thurtell, Hum, and my boy Addis, went in one chaise; and John
Thurtell, Thomas Noyes, and Miss Noyes, were in my chaise.
Had you any huainess for your boy to transact in Loudon
had no use for the boy in London, but sent hint away unruly that
he might not answer any questions that might be put to him. The

supper at the cottage; trey cattle about nine o'clock. John Thur.

went to the pond and got the bawdy up, and cut the clothes uff, and
took it out of the neck, and left it naked on the green award ; Thur.
tell then said " The hone and gig are ready." We then put the hotly
into a new sack, and canted it to the garden gate. We left Hunt,
who had by this time joined tot, with the body, whilst I flung the
clothes into the field ; 110111 c of which were afterwards burnt, and
the rent dispersed amongst the hedges. The horse and chaise were
brought to the lower gattlea gate; Thurtell wanted me to lift the
body into the gig, but I refused. 'hd said there was no Mill

Cron-examined by Mr. THESSIGER.-1 had no conversation
with Thurtell at Tetsall's about the rounder of Wean, and I knew
nothing of it till the Friday. I have known Hunt about twelve
months. I introduced Hunt to Thurtell six or seven months ago.
I was standing at the Cock in the Haymarket, and introduced hint
to them. I never invited Hunt to Gill's Hill Cottage. He never
was there before the Friday. I can't tell by whose invitation he
came down • but I believe by ThurtelFs. I did not say there was
no spare bed when Thurtell asked nie to drive Hunt down. I ex.
no surprise when Thurtell asked me to lend Hunt 20s. in caserecl should not go down; nor at a stranger being introduced to Mrs.
Probers in my absence. We stopped in Oxford-street in our way
down, to buy some pork ; Hunt paid for it. I have not paid him
again. It was hut la. (Id. that the pork cost. I did not apply for
the reminder or the 20v. 1 ant not certain what 1 said when Hunt
desired me to take no notice who was in the gig. The Friday night
was star-light. Phillimore Lodge is about a mile ands half trove
Elsner, on the road between fasten and St. Alban's. Hunt paid
for four or five glasses of brandy and water, and 1 paid for the corn
on the road. I burnt the mark W." out of the corner of the
handkerchief which was given to me. 1 said to Mr. Franklin I
was innocent of the minder. and so was Hunt. I might say Hunt
knew nothing of the OlUrtlrf till after it was done.
Re-examined-1 writ to Mr. Nicholls's on Sunday evening; I
might he out for an hour and a half.
By the COMRT—Wnen I went up main on the Friday night, 1
flnind my wife in a passion and almost ready to ay ; she said,
" That have you been doing? you have been burning peppers,
counting money, and dragging a substance about." I said to her,
it was Janie netting brought down by John Martell which we
had born dragging about.
(On Probert passing the prisoners, on his way out of Court,
Hunt gave him a look of ineffable contempt. Thurtell was busily
engaged talking to his solicitor at the time, and appeared to take no
notice of him.l
His Cottons's. ordered Mr. Wilson to discharge a *own he
had committed in the Henning for making a riot, but at the same
time intimated his intention of strictly enforcing deoarum in Court
during the remainder of the trial.
Mr. Justice PARK then retired for a few minutes, previous to
Mrs. Peahen being called in.
When the Court resumed,
Mrs Probert was sworn—As goon as she came into the witness's
box, his Lordship desired her to sit down.
11r. U lAN ex then proceeded with the examination—Do you
remember Friday the 24th Octohn ?—I
Did you on that night hear Cie sound of gigs -passing the cot-
tage 2—l remember it very well ; It was about right o'clock; near-
ly an hour after there was a ring at the bell, but nu
came in after the ring ; abut f-
halpast nine or nearly
my husband acme home. I was up stain at the time; when
I came down I found Mr. Probert, John Thurtell, and a stranger
in the parlour; my.husband introduced him to nie by the name of
Hunt. John Thurtell afterwards introduced a watch and chain.
It was a gold watch with a great Mai of work in It—a chain was
handed to me—ta chain was here banded to the witness who looked ,
at it and said') I think the chain was like this ; Thunell gave it to
nie. I refused it for some time; he at last put it round my neck. i
When I was examined, 1 gave up the chain to the constable in the
presence of the %magistrates. John Thurtell and Hunt sat up that
night. When Mira Noyes and myself went up stairs. we left
llunt, and l'rubert, in the parlour. We slid not go to
bed direrly. I came on the stairs and listened to what was going
on. That I heard was all in a whisper. Front what I heard tint,
I thought they were trying on clothes. I heard one say, " I think
that will fit you very well ;" but it was all in a whisper. I
heard a rustlieg none like papers on the table, and another noise
like papers thrown into the tire. 1 also N something take place
out of doors ; I saw two gentlemen go from the parlour to the
stable; they took a light to the stable from the parlour' and
brought a horse out of the stable; I then heard something drag,
apparently very heavy ; 1 think front the stable to the leaden ; I
saw something in the dark walk which I had a view of; the sub.
stance was in a ALA ; I heard the burning of the papers ; after the
dragging the substance in the walk, they dragged the sack nearly
half way up the walk ; I could see a groat way down the wall, and
had a good view of the pond; when I maw die pond him 1 heard a
Mae like a heap of stones tl.rown into a pit ; it WAN a hollow wound;
I heard HUM first say, let us take a five gourd note each:
I heard John Thurtell say, Holding shall he the next : lie did not
want money, but revenge. He said, •,Holdine has ruined my
friend here." I understood that by his friend he inesint 31r. Pro. I

While thus was passing in the body ist" the Court, and

turned several times towards Hunt, sad smiled at him i

LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JAtruArt 7, 1821.

The Moniker and other Paris Papers of Sunday are
barren of any intelligence of interest. Affairs remain the
same in Spain. Outrageous tyranny and wide-spread
[ misery reign supreme through that unhappy country.
Front Greece, in the other extremity of Europe, accounts
are more cheering. While the gloom of despotism has
settled over Western Europe, light is every day break-
ing more folly into the bright day of liberty in the
Fast, and diffuring life, and hope, and freedom, over
that classic land, so long trampled by the hoof of
the savage barbarian. The third attempt of the ruth-
less Turk on theme has utterly 'failed; his rabble
bands have been scattered in disorder, and his fleet
has experienced nothing but defeat. A letter, received
from &lamina, dated the Sth of November, incloses a
copy of one from the Greek Admiral, on board his ship,
the Miaully, on the Ist of OetobM. It confirms the de-
[ feat of the Turkiab fleet in theoZtumork of September.
The Greeks having found an thy- to Weak In
[ divisions with their fire-ships, eleven of the Capitan
Pacha's vessels are said to have been4desfroyed, and one
frigate of 514 guns captured ; fifteen of his ships were
blockaded in the Gulf of Vole, end the remainder had
fled iu confusion to the Dardanelles, where they and the
('apitan Pacha had arrived. The latter had landed at
Constantinople, and abandoned the remnant of his fugitive
squadron to hie Vice-Admiral. At the last meeting of the
infatuated Divan, where this functionary assisted, the
vain project of an amnesty to the Greeks (like that of Fer-
dinand's at Madrid) is said to have been rejected. Corinth,
it was known, had fallen to the Greek forces, and the
Asiatics before Missolonghi ha4l broken up in despair :
both these events had given new energy to the Greeks.
No amnesty or concessions new, short of absolute free-
dom, will content this gallant people; they never will bend
their necks to the yoke of Moslem tyranny again. The
Cmestiletionnel of Sunday contains in its columns a long
and interesting detail of the last campaign of the barba-
rians in the Mores, which we regret the crowded state of
our columns will not permit us to give this morning. It is
full of Greek heroism, and abounds with actions every way
worthy of them and the immortal ancestors from whom
they arc descended.
