Mr. Justice PARK said that there was no validity in the propo-
sition of the Learned Counsel. If lie entertained any doubt upon
the subject, he would certainly refer the point to the Twelve
Judges ; but he entertained no such doubt. The statute was one
introduced by Edward the Sixth, when various diaagat were taking

ment of the intention of the framers of it, which was, that from the
burdens imposed upon the people, by the consent repetition of holi-
days. a limit might be placed us the number of them. This was no rea-
son why the secular business of the country should not be conducted.
Ile had himself frequently sat on flood b ridays, during the assizes,
and so did the other Judges. What would become of all the con-
victions that had taken place at the various assizes, and at the Old
Bailey, if he were to entertain such a proposition as the present,
which would go to invalidate and impeach all that had been made
in the days mentioned in that statute? In short, he should feel
that he would only disgrace the station which he held, if he were
to secede to a motion for arrest of judgment on any grounds that
could be drawn from that statute.
The prisoners paid little attention to the argument of Counsel
on this motion, either because their minds were too engaged with
the doom that awaited them, or because they entertained little
hopes of its success.

Upon the prisoners being removed from the Court, they
were, according to the invariable custom in such melan-
choly circumstances, strictly searched. They were placed
side to side, and seemed to take no notice of each other.
The search then took place; when Thurtelfs snuff-box
was examined, it was found empty. He turned to Bishop,
the officer, and said, smiling, ‘( You see it is empty, and I
want a pinch, will you give me one? " Bishop lamented
that he was equally unprovided. A gentleman who stood
by, said he was fortunate enough to be able to accommo-
date him, and presented him with a pinch, which he took
with great cheerfulness. He seemed to be making an effort
(certainly a successful one) to beep up his spirits, and to
maintain an appearance of resolution. We are, however,
informed, that an accurate glance would prove the effort is
necessary.
Hunt preserves, as yet, a profound silence.
Thurtell is removed from the apartment he has hitherto
occupied, to a cell, attended by two men, wbo will remain
is constant attendance on him.
Shortly after Thurtell's return to the gaol, a great change
was visible in his demeanour ; his spirits appeared subdued,
but sot broken ; he incited into tears, and declared he win
full of contrition. He appeared willing to make the most
oureserved disclosures, but in his calamitous situation it
Was thought neither proper nor becoming to intrude upon
him. He said he was aware that he had but a few
hours to live; that he must die a violent death, and he
wished to die in peace with all the world; that for himself
be had no fears ; he feared not death, in any shape it
might present itself, but he felt bitterly on account of
the shame which this event must entail upon the relatives
whom he loved and respected. He continues to speak
with disgust and horror of some of the persons who ap-
peared against him upon the trial, and whom he once
ranked amongst his friends.
On the close of the trial, Mr. Jay despatched an express
to Alderman Thurtell, the prisoner's father, at Norwich.
Mr. Noel has been to the gaol this evening to visit Con-
nolly, who has desired him to continue to get, jointly with
Mr. Minchin, as his solicitor. Connolly remains in much

as to his opinion of the lawfulness of his resistance, and
as to his sorrow for the unfortunate result of his rashness.

Mr. Justice PARK, having unsuited with yin. Andrews, said,
She had asked die counsel fur the prisoner what he meant by idling
attrition to that fact, and the learned counsel had informed him
that he unmated Thurtell meant to infer, that Hunt had gone to
the Artichoke for the purpose of throwing the body into the pond
alone. The jury, of course, would exercise their own judgment
end draw their own inference. His Lordship, on proceeding with
the evidence, directed Isaac Pyne to be called.
The witness was sworn and examined by his Lordship. He
stated that he was the Sheriff's officer who levied execution on
Probert's goods, and that he focuid among them a double-barrelled
Sum
Mr. Justice PARR then went on with the recapitulation of rri-
dente. When he arrived at that of Freeman, he referred to the
deposition before the Magistrates, and stated that he found not •
word about either the horse or der gig.
Thurtell begged his Lordship then to look at what his wife had
said.
Mr. Justice PARR said, as she had not been examined on the
trial he could not contrast her evidence with that of her husband.
In his evidence there was not one word of what the prisoner had
stated. He said nothing of the irregularity of the interruption,
because, in such a cane,' it ought not tote noticed. He was anx-
ioui to do his duty towards all pieties flirly, but especially towards
the prisoner.
The learned Judge pmeeorled to read the further evidence of the
witnesses for the prosecution ; when he arrived at that part of the
testimony relative to tht note which Hunt had taken to die house
of his brother, in the Ilaymarket, Thurtell interrupted hint : " The ,
coat Which was at my house, Na was a blue coat, and, not that
as described by the witness.
Mr. Justice Psae—There is no evidence of what you state be-
fore the Court, and ! cannot therefore attend to what you now say.
The learned Judge proceeded : having read through the evidence
for the prosecution, he called the attention of the jury to the evi-
dence for the defence. Three witnesses were examined for Thurtell.
The first of these witnesses was a respectable solicitor, who deposed
that Probert was a man who ought not to be believed upon his oath
unless his evidence was sustained by other testimony. If a ques-
tion had been proposed to him plr. Justice Park): from what he
had seen of Proberfe deportment and manner of giving evidence in
that aunt, h: would have expressed the same opinion respecting
the wetgui and valialty due to his testimmy. Captain 31.1(inlay
had been also examined as to character, and it was to be re-
gretted for the sake of the prisoner, that the evidence of character
which had been given of him was of an extremely ancient date.
Since 1814 Captain Mliinlay knew nothing of him ; but had he
spoken of him from having continued his acquaintance with him
from that period to the present, his evidence would have more
weight. It appeared that whilst under the command of Captain
TPKinlay, his condign was fair and irreproachable : but his cha-
racter at that time bad nothing to do with the present conduct,
which was the subject of investigation. Mr. Ilaydon also deposed
so the good character of Thurtell, and his acquaintance with him
seemed to have been later :him that of Captain Ill`Kinlay. Ile
did not suite, bewsur, how long he had been acquainted with him;
out merely stated what ought very probably have been the case,
that he was a humane and open-hearted man as far as his know.
ledge of him went. The benefit of character was only available
where rational doubts existed. It was not on good character, but
on tuts, they were called upon to decide. Whether the eharileteri
of the prisoners were good or bad, formed no subject for thei:
consideration. One of the prisoners that day complained that lie
hid been the victim of repeated calumnies. It was certainly most
and unjust for slanders to have been promulgated against a
tan in his awful situation ; and he wondered how any persons who
!.et the benefit of a good education, or who had a correct sense and
x'aeleilga of good morals, could avail themselves of any oppor-
turil which might be in their power of circulating such calum-
nies as the prisoner this day complained of. However, to
repent what he had already said, if he had been as spot-
lest as an Angel before, and if one could suppose such a
baneful passion to dwell in • spirit so pure, yet if the facts
ef guilt awe proved against him, his former good character
meld avail as nothing. In conclusion, he besought the Jury
to consider and weigh well the facts as proved in evidence,
arid these facts only. If you entertain rational doubts of the guilt
silo which the prisoners stand charged, whatever may be the ca-
beanies uttered against them--whatever may have been their pre.
tons habits of life, you should give them the benefit of these
43cIrs. and acquit them. Rut if, on the other hand, you see the'
finger of God, as it were, pointing out the murderer, you will then
let obliged to adopt the other snore painful alternative, and convict

.or you to dAttliArge your duty to your God and your consciences.
