doubt remained but that itelsionn fell by the hands of Seymour. The
murderer, after he Lad sold the watch, pursued his course or Til-
uttry Fort.
One of the handbills, so industriously circulated, the next morning
readied Pitsea, and the person of Seymour so correctly deserile
that it was impossible to mistake, although he had artfully changed
his dress. The yonsg man to whom Seymour .-old the watch, with a
laudable spirit, set out immediately iu pursuit of him, and after a
search of several hours, durieg which he frequently beard of the eha.
meter, yet he did not overtake him until lie reached the Crown, at
Mucking. Here the murderer had entered, hod wits found sitting in the
t p.rooni ; when the young man, fortified by the nature of his mission,told
Sitytnour that he was a prisoner. Unarmed by a sense of guilt, Seymour
made no resistance, but sulfured himself to be conveyed before the
Rev. Mr. Newman, 4,r Burstead, who committed him to Chelmskril
gaol. The same day the Coroner had summoned all the evidence which
could be produced before him, by w ha:a the act was clearly traced to
the prisoner; and it is impossible to desciilke the relief which the hilt t-
bitants of the town of Malden and its vicinity felt, when the informieion
arrived. The stute of aliirtn which pervaded all ranks until that moment
may be better couceived than described ; each expected to fall the iu•xt
victim of the murderer's revenge. Pre•iously to the Coenter's'verrt!ct
being given, the prisoner was taken to Malden, to be present at the exa-
mination of witnesses. Seymour at first appeared much agitated, but
neither denied or cenfessed himself to be the more! 'ter. Before the
examination closed, he appeared sotoething wore composed ; and on
Friday he was inuch in the same state. The prisoner was taken into
a room where the deadly instrument. lay upon the table ; a gr
it Iron n
who had paid particular attention to him, observed no murk of ex-
pression in his eyes, but a convulsive motion scented to agitate the
muscles about the lower part of his cheek amid his lip. On being f)11
that the bludgeon was an old friend of his, he replied, " I see it :tow,
isbut I. never saw it before." The prisoner is a remarkably fine young
Man.
Mr. Clark, of Broughton, in Cumberland, met his death in a
dreadful manner, on Tuesday sesmight. He had been in the le igh.
bouttood of Cockerniontle when he came up with a party of gen-
tlemen, in chase of a stag, which had been started at Dale:twin,
near Penrith, from whence the animal made off with extraordinary
speed. After passing through the streets of Carlisle and Cocker-
mouth, considerably in advance of his pursuers, whose lor,es were
much fagged, Mr. C. being on a fresh horse, soon came up midi the
animal near Eaglesford, where he had taken refuge in a coin-yard,
apparently so worn out that he thought he could make but little re-
sistance, and was actually about to seize him, when the sti.g made
a fatal spring at Iris adversary, and pierced him with Ili' hotns near
the groin. Upon the gentlemen coming up, they did ev, ry tithe: to
rescue kitn, but not before Mr. C. was a lifeless corpse. After
having secured the stag, it was with considerable difficulty they even
got his antlers disengaged from the mare's body.
