ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

WORCESTER, Motor 10.
Michael Toll, aged 29, we' placed at the bar, charged
with the wilful murder of a woman with who.n he co-
habited, named Ann Cook, by beating her with a stick,
and then throwing her down a cod-pit at the pariah of

Old Swinford. -
The prisoner in a firm tone of voice pleaded Not Guilty.
Thomas Frederick Htydon examined—Lives at Swin- .
ford, and is in the habit of frequently visiting the coal pits ,
of his master. On the 29th of August he looked in a pit
at Hay's Dingle, and saw something white at the bottom.
At first be could not tell what it was. He called William
and James Cartwright to his assistance, the former of
whom went down the pit and brought up the body of
woman. Her clothes were on. The right eye wan
knocked out, and the back of the head dreadfully fractured.
On examining tie body of the deceased, be found a brass
ring, a pawnbroker's ticket, and two farthings. The
body was taken to the Swan public house. There is a .
foot road running along about seven feet distance from the
pit. The pit was about fifty feet deep.
Sarah Weatwood saw the prisoner and the woman on
the evening of the 24th, going towards Hay's Dingle.
They were having words with each other. The prisoner
said, " If I have much of your bother I'll lay yon down
with this stick," meaning the stick he carried his pack
with. It wits not a very thick stick. The deceased made

no reply, but burst out crying.
John Westwood, on the evening of the 24th of August,
about eight o'clock, was pulsing along a road distant about
500 yards from Hay's Dingle Pit. He heard one loud
Scream of murder; it was a woman's voice. The cry
cime from the direction of the wood in which the pit was
situate. Witness dig not stop but passed on.
Jane Cook, sister to the deceased, examined--..Rememl/re

.te 29th of August last year going to the Swan, and seeing •
there the dead belly of tier sister. Her sister had been
living with Mr. Batts, before she got in company With the
prisoner. Slie was to have gone to another situation, butin-
stead of that, she went off with him. Before three" and
four o'clock on the night of the 24th of August, the pri-
soner came to her father's house and knocked her up.—
He
asked if witness's sister was there. Witness said
she was not. Ile replied, " She must be here" Wit- .
ness answered, " She is not, . and yon may .:coree:in and •
see." He went in, and witness asked if any thing teas the
matter with her to bring him there so early. He said
" No." He told witness he parted with her a little way out
of Dudley the previous afternoon. That he gave her a bundle
Of silk shawls, and after she was to go one way and he
another, to Stourbridge. That he arrived at Stourbridge by
five o'clock, and not finding her there, he went back to look
for her. He sat down, seemed much distressed, and said wit-
ness's sister had robbed hills of all he was worth. He
stayed till a little after six o'clock, when witness went with .
him in search of her sister. She saw him again on the
following Sunday. He said he coeld hear nothing of the
deceased. On Monday, in consequence of .liettiing n. body
had been found, she went after bins to Kidderminster, and
told him she believed her sister had been found ; he ap- •
peard to be agitated, and said, " good God where was she
found ? " Witness replied, "in a coal-pit." He asked
if witness thought she was pushed in. 'Die), went together
to the place where the body was ; he said but little on the
rout that she remembered, except that he said, they were
sitting together by the side of the pit, and then began to
cry: On seeing the body; he said, "my dear Ann, why,
did not you stop at Stourbridge with me ?"
John Young, a constable, produced a stick, which, by,
the evidence of another witness, was satisfactorily made
out to belong to the prisoner. (It was about three inches
in circumference, and was shod with iron at either end.)
A witness was called to prove that there were marks of
blood on it, when delivered up by the prisoner, but no
signs of it were now visible on the closest inspection.
The Jury, after deliberating fur nearly half an hour, re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned Judge put on the black cap, and, after an
impressive address, sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on
Friday next.
The prisoner, on the conclusion of the address, held up
his hand and exclaimed, " I don't deserve it." He ap—
peared but little concerned throughout the trial, and weg.
repeatedly observed to smile.
The Grand Jury were occupied the whole of to-day in
examining the witnesses on the back of the bills preferred
against the individuals charged with the Oddingley
murders. The result was not known when our parcel •
was sent off. The names of no less than 79 witnesses are
on the backs of the indictments.
