Cross-examined—l was first examined on the Friday after he
was taken. IVhen I saw hint on Thursday evening it was on the
high road leading to the town.
John Blllilell examined—(This witness appeared to be very sick,
aid a 'hair was ordered fbr him.}—He stated he was servant to
111 r. besets, who lived near Wuore. As he was going fora horse
of his muter's, through Buerton, on Holy Thuntuay morning,
about three o'clock, heard the report of a gut. or a pistol. In
about ten minutes afterwards I met a cart, as if coming from the
direction of Worrall's (the deceased) house; the report appeared
to be on the road before me. I saw a man, apparently lying still,
in the fore-end of the cart ; it was about two miles from the de-
ceased's house, and about one half of a mile from Beeman's cot-
tage, on the Buerton side of the Madely road. I passed on. and
saw two men in advance of the cart, about eighty yards from it; it
was very dark, and I could not distinguish them ; but one had on
a light jacket, and the other a dark one. When I passed them
they were walking steadily ; they soon after began a staggering, as
if they were drunk.
Cross-examined—l was going towards Buerton. I had come
from Weave. I knew the cottage, and was Just passing it when I
heard the report.
By the COURT—What hats did they wear ?—I am sure, black
hats.

Did yonebserve whether they were stout or slender men ?—One
appeared to be bigger than the other.
What sort of a man wore the light-coloured jacket?—lle did not
appear to be so tall as the other.
Joseph Eaton examined—Was returning from the pits with some
coals, towards Buerton, early on Friday morning. I saw the de.
ceased in his cart, lying on his hay-bsg. I spoke to him, but he
did not answer me. I passed on towards Bunton, and about two
miles farther overtook one man • and about three-fourths of a mile
further, towards Buerton Brook, another. I came within three
yards of him. It was then getting quite light. He appeared to
have large dark whiskers. I can't swear positively whether the
prisoner is the man or rot; nor will I swear it was not him. When 1
drat saw him before the Magistrate, he appeared to be like the man I
last passed ; he then had the same whiskers, the make and move of
him I observed to he similar ; he rather walked with a bowed knee;
and the prisoner walked in the tame way.
Cross.examlned—The whiskers were very large. Where I met
the deceased was two miles.froin Buerton. I don't know whether
I had passed the boundary of Shropshire. I thought he was asleep
as I had often seen him before, when I spoke to him and he did
not answer me. The second man appesred to be coming from
Buerton, near Madely. If the cart had gone on, it would not be
far from where I met him._

By the COURT—One of the men appeared to be a well-built,
compact man. The second man wore a velveteen short coat rather
of a light colour, apparently much worn. He had a black hat on.
I said, (loud morning," as I passed ; lie did not answer me,
but turned aside. When I first came up he looked me in the face.
%'hen he did not answer me I looked more closely to him. I heard
of the death of Worrell the incite morning. I then recollected the
dress and ull the other particulars already stated.
By Mr. Jow its (with permission of the Court).—lf the men had
walked at a common pace, what distance would they have been from
the last ?---They would have been at Merton nearly.
Mrs. Beech examined—Lives at Muhl), Heath. Saw the pri-
soner on the Monday in Holy Thursday week, Ill?', with Samuel
Worrell. They remained at my house till Wednesday cycling,
about four o'clock. They both returned about deven o'clock the
next Satunlay morning. They had with them a brace of pistol
and a powder-task. ‘VorraU took one from his pocket, and the
powder-flask, and Price the other, and placed them on a shelf.
When I saw them I questioned them about the murder. I raid
to William l'ricr (the prisoner), " I hope you have not done this
murder." He answered. "We have not." I told them that Mas-
ter Shillito and Master Weaver, two constables, had been searching
my house in their absence, on suspicion of his being concerned in
the murder of William Worrell. They had not pulled the pistols
out until after I told them of this. They retrained about ten mi.
nines, anti went out at the back of the house, over the fields, as
quick as they multi go. I took the pistols and flask, and threw
then, into a pit (a pool) about Christmas but. I showed the place
where I had thrown them to Mr. Thursfield the constable, who
searched for them, and got them.
By the ror as. —Diti you observe any difference in their size ?
—Ves ; William Price was the largest. One was nineh larger
than the other.

Crovs-ervamincd--1 don't lire at Madely Heath now. I lire about
two miles from it. I changed my revidenee because it was conve-
nient to niy husband's work, not from any other cause. The
following Michaelmas my husband went to work with Master
Peak.

_
Why, was not your huihand in S.affool gaol :—Yea.
What time?-1 can't tell particularly.
It is rather a particular thing, ill it not ?—lt was about a month
before Michaelmas. lle remained in it till about the following
111 ichaelma..

It Amway* hy your sterwunt that he removed to work for Mr.
Peak at a time he must be in gaol. Did Mr. Peak live in gaol
'3lo, Si .

Wa. he taken up on this charge ?—No, I don't know for what :
he went to the magistrate at Odium, and came home the tome
night. I don't know whether any other person was taken up on
account of it. The murder made a great deal of noise. My house
is ten miles from where it was committed. William Price only
spoke after I questioned them about the murder. They produced
the pistols in my presence. It was about eleven o'clock.
An amiable woman like you must be much shocked when you
saw the pistols ?—Yes,

James Wort&11, the son of the deceased.—l hnsw Samuel li'nr.
rail. Before my father's death I bad seen him with a psis! like ono
of those on the talk, and Also with a powder-Lash similar to el at
nn the table. This was about six weeks before my father's drat:i.
I saw Samuel load the pistol.
Cresa.examined--The murder made a great noise i t the riiiet-
bourhood, and numbers of persons went the following morning to
trace the track of the cart, and to learn what they could respe,...ng
the murder.

James Ilarrup, a constable at Ashton-under-Lyne. apprehendal
the prisoner. I told him I had a charge of highway robbery awl
murder against him. lie replied, "Is that all ?" I said, .•
think that IS enough." The prisoner bad a horse and can with
him, and he told me to deliver It to a person of the name of Fr--
tham. I had no conversation with him about the name on the
I shewed him a tin with a name on it. On the 23d November, J•
I was taking him to Namptwieh, I asked him why he had charger'
his name, and gone by the name of (horse t;onke ; and he rate. t,c
had a baat.rd child in that country. I exited if he knew 1i ill•a:n
Wartall 1 he said he never did. I Inqainid it ha had never hr.:l
of the murder of iVorrall; and he answered he never had.

Cross-examined. The prisoner never made any roistanee na
being charged with murder. I took care to keep him ironed u.. a
charge of that nature. When the prisoner was accused of the tr..:r-
der, he acid, " Is that all I." but never asked if there was any v.her
charge against him about the child.
Mr. Groom, the Clerk to the Commissioocrs of the Roed be-
' tween Madely and Buerton, proved that Beemaa's cottage, rear
where the deceased's body was found, was in the county Of Cue-
shire. When Beech went before the Magistrates at Odium, re-
' specting this murder, he went as a witness, and was not charged
with the offence.

This was the came for the prosecution.
The prisoner in his di recce said, " May it plerse mu. Honours,
lam intmeert of the job. The reason I left the country was, be-
cause I had a child fathered on me, and I was behind-hand with
the pay, and that was the reason I left, as I understood there was
a warrant out to take me."

P. L. Brooks, Esq. High Sheriff of the county. proved the sig-
nature of Mr. Broughton, a Magistrate of the county, to a wm-
rant for the apprehension of Price, for the non-psynseot of the ex-
penses of a bastard child. Diana Broadhurst was the mother.
The warrant was dated the 10th of May, 1822.
The Cover held, that before the paper could be received.
must be proved that the prisoner was the man named is the aa.
rant.

Richard Weaver re-examined.-1 remember the primer living
in the pariah of Chickky, as deseribed in the warrant.
Croos-examined.—l met the prisoner in Bunton no the Tlarr •
day night the murder was committed. The prisoner wore a whim
hat. I saw him about a mile from IVorrall's house.

By the tot? ar.—lt was between eleven and twelve o'clock at
night when I saw him. 1 lived servant with the prisoner for
twelve months. The prisoner was with mistier man, am'. eve,'
were both dressed in carters' frocks. lam not quite sure it wu.,
the prisoner. 1 can't say Samuel Vi'onrall, the *thar man seccv NI.
was with the prisoner. I thought the other man was his broth-n-
-in.lavt, Anthony Sutton ; but I am not sure it was him.
The ease for the defence closed here.

The CHIEF Jrwrlct described the terms of 'the iniitetr.icr.t.
lie would not begin his charge to the Jury without calling tht ir
attention to a remark made by Mr. Sergeant Cross in his address.
that they ought not to find the prisoner guilty nt this nitwit seriou4
charge, unless the evidence was so coneNsive as to leave ea their
minds no doubt of his guilt. The Jury would pay to the evideoco
of Mrs. Beech their most scrupulous attention, for it was her
chiefly that affected the prisoner; and they wouisl soositier
the Mode in which she gave it, to ascertain if it were entitled to
that credence so essentially necessary to come to a satisfactory d ,-
termination of the guilt of the prisoner. Some resistkotble Yarn-
tons had appeared w ith respect to the identity or the pi.oner
as identity wax of all others of the greaten importance. when :he
life of a fallow-ern:hire was at stake, the Jury world not de: ds
warm they were thoroughly convinced the man at the bar was the
person who remnirtni the murder. They would take all the cir-
cumstances of this most serious charge into run consider • . and
tinil such a verdict as, in their conscience and judgment as hoeest
men, they felt themselves booed to rive. . • ;
The Jury almost instantly retuned a verdict of vet Goal.
The prisoner paid the greatest attention to the evidmice Otrir,z
the trial, and when the verdict was annouaced ditl rot apron' tv be
much affected by a:.
