RUMOURFD MURDER on WHADDON CHASE.

[From the BuCkt Chronick.l

Notwithstanding the publication in our last week's Chronicle of
the communication of our correspondent, the unfortunate Enda
hermit on a fresh occasion the object of calumny. The landlord st
a public-hence in Aylesbury, where Shawe (the missing man) ha 4
used to lodge on his journeys hither, being, front the respectable
conduct of Shawe much interested in his fate, had desired the driver
of the Buckingham mail-cart to furnish him, from time to time.
with such intelligence respecting him as he might collect on his
way. On Friday night, after the landlord had retired to bed, the
driver left a note for him announcing that " Hendall (Nadal*
would be at Aylesbury on Saturday." These were the whole con;
tems of the note, and, slender as they were, they became a sufficient
fuun:lstion for calumny to raise a plausible story. "Endall was
expected at the county gaol was then in custody at Bucking.
ham !! he had confessed the murder of Shawe, and been corimittat
far trial I! !" Such wets the rumours circulating when End* ac-
tually arrived—not at the gaol indeed, or as a culprit—bet at his
usual quarters, to vindicate himself from the calumnies which hat
been heaped upon his head.
Endall, it appears, has for some years been a licensed hawker of
haberdashery, hosiery, and such kinds of goods, and though he has
respectable triends who would have had him pursue some mars
steady calling, started, front the love of an active life, in this pur-
suit. with a capital too small to cover his expenses. A deficiency
in his rem urns involved hint in an embarrassment which led him, sr
has been stated, to attempt his own destruction.
This attempt having been made about the time that Shave was
missing, gave rise to rumours which have been circulated throng%
all the kingdom. It was stated that Shawe did business at Little
Norwood, and left that place, in company with another hawker, tst
proceed to Swanborne ; that they were seen to enter Whaddost
Chase together, but from that time all trace of Shawe bad bast '
lost ; that his companion reached, alone, the house of a publiaut.
named Doe, at Swanbome, and, it was reported, had those mails;
use of an exclamation indicating the greatest uneasiness antigfinty
of mind ; and that this man afterwards went to Winslow, elk
the following Saturday attempted to terminate his existence bri
drawing a knife across his throat. To all this, and morel it it
added, that the man who attempted self-destruction was ((on hatur.-'
day, the "oth ult.) at the Windmill public-house, Winslow, aar
not sufficiently recovered to be questioned.
On finding this tumour in circulation and in print, Endall pro.
ceeded to Aylesbury to vindicate himself, and to obtain redress.
He has iddresacti a letter to us, complaining bitterly of this attack
upon him—a poor and unprotected person, without the pecuniary
means of resorting to that protection which he is convinced the
law would afford him. Ile distinctly denies the truth of any part
of the story, and solemnly declares that he has neither been seen
at any time in Shawe's company, nor has any personal knowledge
of him.

The following is the substance of the sequel of his letter :
On the 29th of July I slept at Mr. Linnell's. the Compasses.
Silv.2istone, four miles from Towcester ; on the 30th came through
Whittlebury, Paulisberry, Potterbury, and Old Stratford, to my
quarters the King's Head, Sony Stratford, where I lodged the
30th and 31st of July, and the Ist. fid, and 3d of August. TM*
can be proved by application to my landlady. On Tuesday, the
21 of August, when it is asserted that I was at Little Harwood and
Whaddon Chase with Mr. Shawe, I was at Stony Stratford felt.
To Little Norwood I have not been this year, and the last time I
was at Whaddos, or Whaddon Chase, was on the Bth of July.
" On the 4th of August I went from Stony Stratford to Thorn.
borough, which is about four miles ; front thence to (heat Nor-
wood and to the Windmill, at Winslow, where I Bunn that night ;
on the sth of August to Swanborne, and then back to Winslow,
where 1 staid until the 13th of August, on which day I went to the
Bell Inn, Brackley, a house I have used for these seven years.
" It is said, • the man who attempted self destruction is not
anciently recovered to be questioned'—when I had been at Brack.
ley, a week before this falsehood was printed, and went to the ad.
kcent villages on business every day. This I can prove, for I
eel) a journal of all the places I go to."
This journal, which we have seen, and which *poem" to conloi*
a regular account of the poor man's journey since the beginning of
January last, affords us satisfactory evidence that he has been
cruelly calumniated. Ills letter contains a copy, which we think
it unnecessary to insert, of his peregrinations from the 14th to Illth
of August; when he arrived at Buckingham, and white, be says,
be first saw the statement of which he so justly complains.
