APPEAL OF MURDER.

WILLIAM ASHFORD V. ABRAHAM THORNTON.

The further argument in this extraordinary
cause was resumed this morning. So early /14
half-past keven o'clock a number of persons ay-
seraWed round the doors of the Court, and a num-
ber of persons also stationed themselves steer the
private entrance, by which l'ltoratom ass sisnally
conducted into Court, in the hope of having a
view of WM. The crowd had oscreased very much.
before the Judges took their seats, mid it riquired
the utmost exertions of the constables to prevent
the people from forcing their way. into Court. At.
niue o'clock Thornton entered the ('Dort, its the
custody of Mr. Gibbet), the tip-stall, and at cons-
ponied by one of the keepers of the King's Bench
prison. He took Isis seat in his usual situst ttttt
behind the bar—and appeared in excellent health
and spirits.
About half-post nine o'clock, two respectably
dressed womeh entered that part of the Court where
Thornton was placed, and sat down sitar Ision.
The elder was about to say something to the Psi•
aoner, when she was interrupted by
Mr. BARLOW, who asked the Prisoner whether
they were friends of his ?
Prisoner—is No."
Female—" I am the aunt of William Ashford."
The women were then directed to Lto round, in
order to take a rest iu another part of the Court—
but they did not ag sin make their appearance•
Mr. Jdistice BAYLEY took hie seat on the Bench
at ten o'clock, and ditposed of some ussimpoitsist
business._

Lord ELLExttoxouctt, Mr. Justice ABBOTT,
and Mr. Justice floi.auvo, came two Court a lit.
,the before eleven o'clock.
Mr. CHITTY then proceeded to address their
Lordships, iu reply to the argument delivered by
Mr. TiIIDALL last Term. He said he hoped he
'would be able to satisfy their Lordships that the
claim of the Appellee to wage battle• ought not to
'be allowed, and that the trial awarded should be
.by a Jury of the country. His Learned Frieed
had divided his argument into four heads—first, •
that the trial by battle was the right of the Ainwllee.

it was not so. On that pout of the subject, then.
fort, he would not expatiete. With restact to the

hut depended on a variety of circumstances, all
concurring to pruve the guilt of the Alivelli-v.--
With respect to the authority or Siriiiiisford, which
lad been treated so lightly, it was of no mean value.
Sir E. Coke. in the preface to his Term /reports,

%arils became a Judge--and many editions of his
.work were published, while lie filled that situation.
laid it down as a maxim. that if any violent pre-
stimption of guilt attached to the Appellee, his
might to orate battle might lie refused. The asser-
t that there were no premises from which he
could draw his conclusion. was unfounded. For,
if they (nuked to Bracton, whose authority was not
at all impeached, they would find that lie,estiblish-
cd this position. &scion said, "An Appellee,
nutria some violent presumption made against
him, winch did not admit of proof to the cautery,
might defend himself by his body ;" and he illostrotes
this position by several cases. }lets NM down the
saute I .w, and quoted the cases cited by Biactou, the
authority of which, as applied to a general par.
pose, hertid not attempt to deny. Fulton followed
up the same poeition—and Harrington, its his
Pent of the Croton, soil Sir W. Blackstone, stated,
" That an Appellant might counter-plea a wager of
tattle, by introducing strong presumption." By a
refenaire to the doctrine Mid down in DrooL',
eibridgmeni, lit. " Trie/." 'pl. GO, it wnuld Ise
losiml, that where the Defendant, hi a case ()rappels!
of mayhem, prayed that it should he eau 11l i l ied in
Court. and, being so examined, the Judges doubt=
ed whether it was a mayhem or not, they there di-
vected a trial by the country; and the authority
went on to .say, that " in all cases of doubt, they
plight refuse wager of battle, and make the same a
trial by the country." Under the circumstances
of the present case, if a doubt were entertained of
the Appellee's guilt, the Judges bad a right to semi
it to be tried by the country, mitred of taking upon
themselves the painful duty of deciding on the
truth of couflicting statements. It was said the
comiter-plea was too vague and undefined, and limit
it was objectionable, as being multiferidus—and his
Learned Friend contended. that no counter-plea
was available, units/ tried by the actual inspection
of therourt, or by existing mutter of record. The
form of • the plea, " that there was a strung pre-
sumption of the guilt of the Appellee," lie also he.
scribed as an improper one. because," it was," lie
observes!, " for your Lordships to draw the pre-
eniaption." 'Phis statement was not accurate. The
outlier-plea set forth, that there were *Wong pre-
assinptans of the Appellee's guilt, and then came
the Nets so which those presunaptimer were found-
ed. The facts were stated from which the cumin-
slot' was drawn. and it was left for the Court to de-
termine whether the presumptions inferred from
them were of that sort that ought to prevent a wa-
ger of battle. Another objection was raised to cer-
tain orris of the counter-plea, in which it was set
forth, that such and such circumstances appealed
to credible witnesses to have occurred. This, it
was said, was nut a statement of facts, but or what
appeared to witnesses, and that the names of them
ought to have been vet forth. He. however, held
the allegation to be good, because the circumstances
were stated as fully as the witnessei themselves
could have given them. They were put forward as
positive facts, and the witnesses, though mentioned.
did not utter the position in which the facts wine
placed.
The COURT held that this allegation was bad,
inasmuch as that which appeared to another, could
not be set forth as a fact, unlesa the witnesses num.
sal evidence was fully given. If, however, the
Learned Counsel could spew that the other parts of
the counter-plea were sufficient to repel a wager of
battle, this would nut prevent it. Utile inutile non
viiianclant.
Mr. Ctitrrit proceeded to the third point, in
which his l..arrned Friend insisted, that the repli-
cation was a sufficient answer to the counter-plea,
even if' it were properly drawn. This lie denied to
be the fact. I,t the replication it was set forth,
that fresh farts could be adduced to prove the in-
nocence of the Atareller. if this este the case,
then there was matter that ought to go before a
Jury, and supersede this vain appeal to the Deity.
Tne very allegation its the replication that the Ap-
pellee was ready to prove various facts by consist-
tesit witnesses, was sufficient to skew that the ease
ought not to be decided by wager of battle. Ir-
bides. the Appellee had not put a distinct averment
of alibi on the replication. He did not aver that
lie was not present when Mary Ashford was thrown
into the pit. The time was not mentioned distinctly.
Ile had merely put an argumentative statement
on record, but he did not plainly aver an alibi.
The Learned Counsel then applied himself to the
4th point—s, That, 'opposing the counter-plea de-
fective, or the replication sufficient, the Appellee
was to go without bail, and be for ever free from
this accusation." He submitted, that, as there was
nothing stated, which spewed the roamer-plea and
demurrer to be false, the Court could nut give the
final judgment prayed for. He then proceeded to
v.:capitulate the most prominent allegations con-
tained in the counter-plea. Its the course of the
Learned Counsel's observations on the mark of a
foot ne►r the pit. lie was interrupted by
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, who said—" The mark
might have been there long before that time. The
girl might, if she had freely submitted to the
Prisoner, full of abhorrence at what had pitied,
have put an end to herself. Or she might have gone
ta Cie pit to wash herself, and, through weakness,
Live Wen in."

Mr. CHITTY said, from all the circumstances set
forth to the allegations there was sufficient proof
that Mary Ashford was violated and murdered. If
the intercourse with the Prisoner was with her con-
vent, she would have looked forward to fortlitr gra.
utie;ition, and perhaps to marriage. if it weft
otherwise, the natural feeling to which it would
give rise was indignation—and the fear of the coos
sequence• of that feeling it was which seemed to
have given rise to this murder. In conclusion, the
Learned Geotteinati called on their Lordships to
award a trial by Jury iu this case, instead of wager
by battle, a practice peculiar only to the west
barliarous age-.

80.(3d/g.J.ON DON,
FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1818.

Last night the House of Commons was again
occupied in considering in Committee the prop°.
ritions of Ministers resulting from the PRINCE
REGENT'S Message. Previont, however, to any
discussion, Lord CASTLEREAGH apprised the House
that he had been authorised by the Duke of
CLARENCE to inform them that his Royal High-
ness did not consider the stun of 6,000/. a-year,
bated to him on the 'preceding night, n sufficient
inducement to persevere in completing the irego-
elations for a matrimonial alliance.
After a smart discussion upon the propriety of
granting the Duke of CAMPRIDGE an additional
sum 6,0001. a-year, the House divided, when
the vote was declared in favour of Lis Royal
Highness by 177 to 95. His Royal Highness
the Duke of CUMBERLAND ass not equally for-
tunate. The proposition for an equal grant to
hun was negatived on a division by 113 to 136.
The House, in this decision, appeared to br
influenced by their vote on the same subject in
1815. Sums of 6,000/. a-;ear were severally voted

as dowers to the Psincessof [Ease and het Royal
Highness the Duchess of Cumissitann, in the
event of their surviving their Royal Consorts. As
the Duke of CLARENCE has expressed his unwil-
lingness to accept of the sum of 6,0001. a-year in
addition to his present revenues, Lord CASTLE
REACH intimated his wish last night to negative
that Resolution of the Coutmittee on the preceding
night but he %aired his intention, on the suggestion
of Mr. TIRRNRY, who recommended that .ome

communication should be made on the subject to
the (louse, which, by being entered on the Jour-
nals, would in future obviate the misreprementalibns
to which a simple negative might be subjected.

Dutch and Flanders Mails have arrived with
Poets to the 15th instant. They state that Sir
T. Ellciourtat.o is the person selected by the
British Government to solicit the hand of the
Princess AUGUSTA, of Hesse, for his Royal High-
ness the Duke of CassiniDoc

The Duke of WELLINGTON is not expected at
Iris head-qua till after he has been to London.
It is affirmed that the Duke. and also the French
Minister fur Foreign Affairs, will attend the Con-
gress in September.

We have received the Paris Papers of the 13th
intent. The Duke of Wtwxotok had an-
other conference, on the 19th, with the Minister of
-Prussia, the Duke of RICiIItLIEU, and the State
Counsellor Benin MotnisElt. The payment of the
foreign claims is understood to be the subject of
these conferences.—The examination of Madame

MANSON. on the trial of the persons charged with
the murder of FUALDEI, nearly fills the Paris Pa-
pers. The following is an extract:—

COURT OF ASSIZES OF ALM.

The exasaisation of Madame Manna excited peat expec-
tation. AU the avenues to the Court were filled at an early
hour.

M. President—u Madame \farms, you yesterday charged

Bastide, who directed a terrible look at Madame Manson,
as if to restrain her instantly.)—How is the fact'."

Madame Mangan (endeavouring to conquer ber distreas;--
" I cannot elan all the particulars in my head, but what
will never escape my memory is, that this horrible nims at-

get that he snatched nu from the hands of that wretch."
M. President—" Is this wan among the prisoners?"

Madame Manson--" Ii is pessibk, Sir."
(The look, and tone of Madame Masson in answering
these triestioes seemed to attest that the person who saved
her was seated on the bench of the prisoners.)

Being urged by the Judges, and by the prisoner !amnion, to
name the person, Madame Manson, with a melancholy es.
pression, continued, " M. President, I can netther sore wor
cowrie! Jousiow."(Fhe pet he► handkerchief to her face, and
nought to avoid the sight of hosing, who followed boy with
his eyes.)
&iodide reproaches her, and is checked by Ms President.

with nothing."

Madame Manson (loking at him Plead i I y)—" Your eons
science reproaches you with nothing!" (Addressing herself
to the President), " Let !iodide pore AU innocence, and I
rill mount Ike sea fold in his place."

Bat.tinte-0 Prure my innocence ! that is not diffi-
cult. Madame Manson thinks to intimidate us. Madame
Manson has said one thing at Rhodes, and anotherlere."

Madame Manson—" Raatide, you know it—l lied at

The Counsellor Pinaud—', You said that you took a ter-
rible oath at the [souse of Raoul. Can't you recollect tke

Madame Manson—" I recollect none but the Man whom I
