Margaret Appleby. The trial commenced at two o'clork in the
afternoon, and continued until half past ten At ni4ht. The decea-
sed had filiated a child upon the prisoner, who yeas a small farmer
at I.ow Wor,hal, in the North Riding. .The deceased was a pau.
per in the workhouse at Yartn.. and came •to Stokesly nu the 251-11
• of February, for the purpose of atte.iding a meetiag of the justices,
to get an order %twin the prisoner for the maintenance of the child.
At this conduct the prisoner expressed much displeasure.. and en.
deavonred without F net exs, to prevail upon her to go to the Malls-
trates, to unsay all .that She bad swot:;. Almost immediately aft,'
tAs he presented the deceased with a glass of rum and warm water
which he himself brought Wont the bar of the public house ; !ilie
drank the whole of it, and was instantly seized with the Most ex-
cruciating pain. She languished until the 14th of February, when
she died. These circumstances, tceruther with the disappeatauce of
the prisoner, who absconded befiite the death .of the deceased,
and was at length found concealed at South Shields, formed the
principal part of the evidence against him. No poison was finked
, in her stomach. The jury retired about twenty minntes, and oa
their return found the prisoner guilty. Sentence. of death was im-
mediately passed on him.

with P. knife.. Wm. James, brother to the above, was chamed
with Wing and abbetting in the saids murder. The evidence
against the latter, however, only proved the use of expressions,
which imported, that he had au ili will ,to the deceased, and was
not sorry for his death : and his Lordship observed, that vsliatever ,
tinfaiourable impression they might give the jury. as to the. obdu-
racy of his heart, they. slid not amount to a participation in the
murder and directed the jury•to acquit him.

enuargaciwe of an application from the deceased, who Was a
sheriff's officer and an auctioneer, lie went with him to seize some
hay and corn belonging to the prisoner. For this purpose they
