Yes4;erd ty, at twelve of Holloway and Ha-
.
gerty, die two penons in,c'ustody r'...-Zliarge of
having co,nmitted this, most, horrid inurde:-, were
brought up from Clerken well Prison.to the Public-
Office, in Worship-street, -for examination: The
Magistrates present were,-Alessrs. N'Att ES, GIFFORD,
and cAPy,E.a-,,,and,anne.,but.tlie Witoesses (one or
two Gentlemen excepted) were. suffered
.to .be pre-
sent. The person who has turned Kinb.'sei'itenCe,
nd who ‘v.as brought from--on b 'arct he Ju#titia
"Hulk; at Woolwich, was examined; his natue is
Halfield, and he was formerly.a postilion : his tes-
titnoey was to the following etft..ct •
"-That on the day the murder was perpetrated,
the Witness and the prisone-rs agreed to go on Houn-
slow Heath to rob ; that they there met 'Mr.' Steel,.
and demanded7his money, watch, and•pocket-book,
which demap,d the deceased• hesitated .to comply
with ; that on this Holloway, Who was behind Mr.
Steel, • struck him with a bludgeon on the back of
the head, and' brought him to the,•ground; that
Hanfield then sat down upon the body, whilst Hol-
loway and' Hagerty were beating the deceased on
the head, and in the at of strangling him ; Hollo-
way and Hagerty, after the deceased had done
groaning, and they believed him dead, rifled his
.pockets; and seeing astage-coach coMing across the
Heath, they took Mr. ,Steel's boots, hat, &c. and
carried the body to a hole near a clump .of trees, and
threW •it in,; -they then avoided the Main road, and
we ,t. round by-what•are called Sion-fields to Houn-
slow, where they stopped at, the Bell Public-house;
and had some refreshment." •
'A Bricklayer gave -evidence as to the finding the
'ray, &c. Part of Mr. Steel's coat, which was
torn in the scuffle, was found. near the spot:
Gilbert, from the Bell, corroborated.. the forego.-

ing Testimony.
Mr. Frogley, Surgeon, at T-lonnslow, gave an ac-7.
count of examiuuig•the .body, and, technically de4
scribed in wltzt'stateire, found it at the. Ship at Houn,

slow.
Mr. James Ileeves..,.(nrinerly•Chief Clerk at Bow=
street and at Union Hall,--nd Donaldson,' Croker,
and two other Row-street QtEcers, attended to give
evidence of the murder. having been committed
nearly fohr years ago.
Holloway:, at the time-c the Murder, -Vvote a smock
frock ; Hagerty was in his dreSs as' a, bricklayer's
bodrer; and :Hanfield in plain clothes; the latter
appeased yesterday as a sailor, in a blue cloth jacket
and trowsers.
Holloway is a very ill looltittg triam,--as are,
deed, whole of the Prisoners. He was very
heavilj- ironed •he seems an hardened villain, and
smiled at.the charge of having taken away the life of
a fellow-creature. He is remarkably stout t-the
two others are slentierlirkte men, partibularly
prty, *vg,ho Nvas. in .the orneserve Maid-
stone, but poisoned his leg to get discharged. After
...the 'murder, he . went to sea; as we hive alreauy
stated. The Prisoners , and the King's Evidebee
i.were remanded to -separ,tte.prisons tor re-exatriina-
tion at the above Orfice,:on Monday-next.: The
examination lasted nearly three hours:

•
On Sunday evening a rieesun was taken ilatcauS-,,i
tody in the Haymarket for using seditious 'expres-
sions and exciting a riot: fie -.vas *examined yes-
terday at . the .Niarlborough-street (Alice, and was
pin witted to Tothilltields'Bridewell: •
Some feW days since .a respe 'table farmer
Rowfant, SuSsex,• who had -a deputation to 'shoot
over a manor belonging:to Mr. BETfrILTNE, of that,
place, on. his return home frOm. the field- with his
wan loaded, -p-oceeded—to draw the charge, and
l—aaving returned to his punch such 'of the shot as
came easily out, pursued the prkiice, which. is bAt
too common in,such cases, of knocking the butt
end of his gun against the ceiling, in. order-to dis-
.lodge any of the shot corns which might have at-
tached to the wadding that confined the powder,
Whilst his right haul was. employed at the muzzle
to catch them.. By,this imprudent a&the cock
was forced do.v6i, the powder discharged, and the
hand dreadfully lacefated. A Surgeon was sent for, I,
'whti extrkted a portion of felt, which the wadding
consisted of, frOM the wound ; but,sorne fragments '
remaining,
,they soon broUght on a mortification,
'Which rendered amputation necessary ; but the tni-
fortunale man refusing to submit 0 the operation*,
languished a short time, -and expired, under extreme
6gdriy, leaving awidow 'and six children to-lament
his loss.

That many persons have found great benefit who
have unfortunately pursued a dangerous.praftice- in
their youth, in unguardedly giving vir4y to that crime
which brought on the divine xengeance, is incon-
teStibly illustrated by, the inatchleo and unprece-
dented sale of," Solomon's Guide to Health ;'° a book,
sthidh 'of all others in the ineclical line is so.univr-
Sally necessary to be used and treasured up by,young
and old in-every family, that the increasing'deMand
for it cannot be wondered at, when it is foundered
that, as a faithliel Guide either to male,orfemale,
it has not its equill in the whole wOrld.=—Yrife 35.
