TUE MURDER OF MR. WEARE.

Thurtell, Prober!, and Ilunt, persevere in re-
peating their several assertions and statements in Hertford
gaol. Thurtell appears to have pecuniary resources, and pro.
vides himself with a substantial diet : Probert continues weak
and low•spirited. Thurtell, who is naturally a man of strong
nerve, preserves his composure, employs himself in reading
and writing, to prepare the Materials for his defence—expresses
by his gesture a dislike to converse upon the topic ; and
hints, in the most reckless manner, that he, shall prove that,
he was not within seven miles of the spot at the time of the
murder. Probert is, we understand, informed of the arrest of
his wife and sister, but not of the strong circumstances which

Mrs. Probert is said to have disclosed, He expresses great un-
easiness at her situation. The Magistrates have issued the
strongest injunctions to prevent access to any of the prisoners,
and those who are in immediate attendance upon them are pro-
hibited from pressing them into conversation. The High Sheriff
of the county (Mr. Sutton) has been to visit the jail and inspect
the situation in which these particular prisoners are placed.—
Sir John Sebright, M. P., also called yesterday as a visiting
Magistrate. Every possible precaution is taken to prevent ex-
ternal communication with them. Any article transmitted
for their use is exposed to the strictest examination, to
prevent the introduction of clandeitine information. Thur-
tell, however, expresso* no desire to correspond with any hotly.
He Is deiirous,'as we have already stated, to have his memory
refreshed upon Hunt's deposition before the Magistrates ; but
the Coroner has not complied with his request upon that
point. The house in Manchester.huildings, of which so much
has been said, is No. 10: it was taken by Thurtell from the
landlord, who is a respectable solicitor In Berners.street ; a
quarter's rent is not yet due upon it, and Thurtell says he
gave the key to a friend, whom he does not name, a few days
ago. It is the last house but one at the right hand side of Man-
chester-buildings, next the water ; and as the last is merely oc-
cupied as an Office by. the Carnatie. Commissioners, and the oppo-
site house (the Bake of Manchester's) kept by a steward, it would
be difficult to find in the Metropolis a house better adapted for
the secret perpetration of any outrage. Thurtell's story of in-
tending to carry on the bombasin trade there is perfectly ridi-
culons. Ile' is more catttious about alluding to his gaming asso.
dates now, than at the beginning of his imprisonment, and at
present seems more anxious to be considered as a casual visiter
,at " the hells," than as partner in their odioui profits : he even
says, when speaking of one of the gaming-house proprietors
lately convicted in the Court of King's Bench, that that person
entreated him to abstain from frequenting the house in St.
Jamees.street and • Pall.mall, • for that he (Thurtell) was not
the customer they wanted, and gave him 50/. out of a sum
which he had lost on the same night, to quit.
Thurtell daily inquires respecting Probert's situation, with
an affected air of concern for his agitation.
The Winter Assizes will commence (it is understood) on. the
'Bth of next month, and the trial of theie prisoners will of neces-
sity speedily take place.
Yesterday the whole of the furniture belonging .to the un-
fortunate Mr. Weave was removed from his chambers, No:2,
Lyon's-Inn, Strand, (the two.pair of stairs of whiCh he occupied.)
The articles, which were very good, were conveyed away under
the direction of his two brothers, as privately as possible.
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, Mr. Tetsall, the land-
lord of the Coach and Horses tavern, in' Conduit-street, .Bond-
street, to the groat 'JO), of his, family and friends, arrlved at
home, having, as'we stated yesterday, been set at liberty by
the Magistrates, after being bound over in a recognizance to
attend next Hertford, Assizes, to give evidence against the

prisoners.
Mr. Tetsall, whilst ke was in custody, detailed to the Ma-
gistrates the whole of the conduct of the accused at his house
during the week the murder was committed, and gave the
name and description of every person who about that time visit-
ed John 'Martell and his associates, and active search is now
making after an individual who has been well known as a
".blood on the town" for a great number of years. The Ma-
gistrates expressed their entire satisfaction with Mr. Tetsall's

statement.
The watch of Mr, Weare has not yet been found : it way a
valuable article, to which were appended several seals, and
very finegold lady's neck-chain, which being doubled, formed a
handsome watch chain. This is the chain which Mrs. Probert
delivered to the Magistrates at Watford on Wctlnesday night
The chain had been identified as the property of Weare.
hunt says that John Thurtell had the watch, 4!ICC. to dispose
of; and John Thurtell says that Bunt .brought it town to part
with it ; and he got rid of it.
Mr. T. Noyes was last night, after his examination, conveyed
to St. Alban's gaol. Whilst on the road, his distress of mind
was extreme ; he frequently protested most solenthly, that he
was completely innocent of all knowledge of the shocking affair
till long after the murder. It is alleged that on the Sunday, when
he went down to Probert'a two days after the murder, he was
informed by the murderers that they'had done the deed. There•
is no evidence as to his receiving any part of the plunder, or,
la fact, any thing against him at present, but concealing the
-fact from the Sunday morning, at which time the corpse was

in Vrobert's pond.
Mrs. Probert and Miss Noes were present on the Sunday
when Mr. Nichols asked Probert" What manoeuvres were you
up to in she lane .on Friday night ?" To which Probert re.
plied, " That lie, knew nothing about it ;" and they did not as-
sert the contrary. It it stated that Hunt, since his failuie in
business, has been extensively engaged in dealing in smuggled
