on the oath of Ann Radford with the wilful mur-
dee of Joseph Buckhill, particulars of whiCh were
given in our Paper of the 3d of lalovember
The girl, who has been in confinement ever since,
for want of sureties, remained fi,i•neand obstinate
in her story until Saturday- last, whEti,.on itearing
that a3iicklrill, the man said to hate been mur-
dered, was on his way to Exeter, to coat-tint her
on the trial, she voluntarily confessed that the
whole of her charge teas false ; and as it. was pub-
licly known that her trial for periory would fol-
low upon' the acquittal of Bird, ,the interest ex-
cited on the public mind was so great, that. the.
hall was crowded heYoad any thing ever remain,.

having last week found a' true bill'against John
Bird, on the evidence of Ann Radford, he was"nove
placed, at the bar and arraigned: The indictment
being by the ToWn7elerk, Ann Radford was call-
ed; on her appearance, every eye Was fixed on
her, and she seemed, greatly agitated, The Re-
corder asked her what she had to S..r.y aigaile the,
prisoner at the bar ? she answered', " Not iutu,
Sir, I am guilty." On her being agaifi asked if
she had any thing to say" against the prisoner, re-
specting the matter in charge ? she replied, "No,
Sir." The partieularS of the case being then
stated to the Jury in a few words, they instantly
returned at verdict,. Not Gird ty.—The Recofder
then .addressed the Grand Jory, observing, that
the witness whose evidence had laid the founda-
tion of the charge of murder just disproved, had
thereby subjected herself to a charge of perjury.—
A bill of indictment was according laid before
them ; and Buckhill, Bird, and other evidences
having; been sworn and eXammed, the Grand Jury
-returned into Coat to about half an hour, with a
true bill against Annitadiord, Inr wilful and cor-

pi:tilled, in a ,cost able niatin4, to the Jnry, the
law oldie ease, and cited authorities it'esuppnrt
of his .reasoniag, he observed, it Was necessary
for the Satisfaction of this:great city, as well as of
public justice, that the most solemn investigation
should take 'place. it was also necessary. to the
character of the Police, to sliew, that a mrirder
had not been. committed within its P'ecinets two
Iyears bind a half ago,. and the murderer ivalking
publicly aboitt. its streets ever since, undetected
and unpunished ; yet, what might not have been
the consequence, had Buckhill, who now appear-
ed in Court,' died in the mean time: He was
living too, within the knowledge of the person at
the Bar, in 1,313, and in the constant habit of fre-,
qaentipg the house where she resided.
After sonic further observations, and .after the.
evidence to vid!ielt Ann Radford had sworn before
the Mayor 'on the Ist November last, had been.
identified, Joseph Buckhill deposed, " that: for
the last 14 Years he had lived with Lord Beau-
champ ; the first time lie ever came Co Exeter was
in the sanniter of 1813, in attendance pn 'Lady
Beauchamp, who then lodged at, Mr. Pvne's, oti

remained at EXeter, he went often to the garden
