ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July 19.
CROWN SIDE.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTmAw.)
THE MURDER AT KNARESBOROUGH.

The trial of the parties implicated in the Knaresborough
murder having been appointed for this morning, the Court
was crowded to suffocation at an early hour, and a considera-
ble portion of the auditory was composed of inhabitants of
Knaresborough, who had travelled hither to be present at the
investigation of a crime which his caused a sensation une-
qualled probably in that neighbourhood on any similar occasion
since the case of Eugene Aram. The premeditation with which
the crime was committed, the remorseless perseverance in
their object when accident caused a postponement of their pur-
pose, tho dreadful cruelty with which it was finally completed,
render it a case seldom equalled in atrocity.
At the sitting of the Court, the accused, John Burlinson,
Henry Nuttall, and William Gill, were placed at the bar.
They were, it is said, threadmakers, and for their station in
life presented rather a respectable appearance. Burlinson did
not seem to display the slightest emotion. The lower part of
his face is very heavy, his forehead deficient, and the whole ex-
pression of his countenance indicative of a low order of intel-
lect. Gill is small in person, and with nothing in his face to
indicate that cruelty of disposition which the evidence proved
him to possess. He also, but for the anxious expression of his
eye, seemed little affected by the awful circumstances in which
he was placed. Nuttall was deeply moved, and throughout
the trial seemed frequently engaged in silent prayer. The
wretched men are all young—Burlinson being 24, Gill 22, and
Nuttall but 19.

Mr. Knowles, assisted by Mr. Martin, conducted the prose-
cution; Nuttall was defended by Mr. Wilkins; the other pri-
soners by Mr. Newton.
Mr. Knowles succinctly detailed the nature of the evidence
that would be laid before the jury. The witnesses were or-
dered out of Court.

The first witness called was Mary Snow, who resided in a
house at the back of that occupied by the deceased, Joseph ,
Cocker. He kept a small beer-shop called the White Hart,
close to the market-place of Knaresborough. The kitchen in
which the crime was committed had two windows, one looking
out into the street, and another immediately opposite, but at
some distance from the ground, over the end of the " long
settle," which came out in a form approaching to circular,
from the corner of the fire-place. This window looked into
the yard of the house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Snow. From
their house, also, a window looked into the same yard, and the
back door of the house was very near the window in the house
of the deceased. He was an old man, about fifty-seven years
of age, and lived quite alone, his wife having died some time
before. About twelve o'clock on the 18th of June last, Mrs.
Snow was about making up the house and retiring to bed,
whither her husband had gone some time before, when her at-
tention was called to the house of the deceased, by hearing a
noise of groaning and beating. She went into the yard, and
found that the noise came apparently from the window of the
house of the deceased. The window was too high for her to
reach without assistance, but by standing on a basket
which was in the dusthole beneath, she was able, through a
crack in the shutter, to see into the kitchen. She did not see
the deceased, but there were three men, one of whom had a
candle in his hand, and a second was placed on the window-sill.
There was blood on the floor. One of the men said, " Let's
take him to the cellar." The witness immediately ran down a
passage leading from the yard to the front of Cocker's house,
when she found the door was fastened. She shook it and called
out, " Cocker, Cocker, are they murdering you ?" but got no re-
ply. She ran back to the yard, and while so doing heard a noise at
the front door as if it were opened, and men were hastily pass-
ing out. She again glanced in at the window, and saw Cocker
alone, leaning up againstthe fire-place, and groaning very much.
She ran to awaken her husband. He came down stairs im-
mediately, and both went into the yard. On looking through
the window, she again saw three men, one of whom had a
candle in his hand. Cocker was lying on the floor, two of the
men were lying beside him, and the third was kneeling over
him. Burlinson was the man who held the candle. She saw
him when taken into custody, and at once recognised him.
She and her husband returned to their house for the purpose of
getting a pistol, and in the meantime the door was opened, and
the parties rushed out.
Henry Snow, the husband of the last witness, identified the
prisoners Burlinson and Gill ; the third person whom he be-
lieved to be Nuttal, was rather concealed from his view by the
persons of the other prisoners. He knew them all before by
sight, and recognised them as residents in Knaresborough,
though he did not know their names. He described them to
the constable. The witness, on the parties leaving the house,
ran after them to the end of Synagogue-lane, and heard some
persons talking in the lane. One said, " Where shall we go?"
Another said, " Thou knowest we can't get in." The witness
called up Mr. Vickerman, the head of the police, and they
went to Cocker's house. It was all dark, and there was a
candle extinguished on the end of the settle. The deceased
was lying on his face, and the floor was covered with blood,
which was also splashed over the walls and the settle. The old
man was still living, and groaned heavily. A surgeon was sent
for, but before he arrived life had fled. Mr. Vickerman immedi-
ately took active steps for the apprehension of the guilty parties,
and some of the inhabitants were despatched in all directions with
orders to take up any persons who could not give a good account of
themselves. Mr. Vickerman himself went in the direction of
Harrogate, but was recalled by the information that the cul•
prits were in custody. He returned and found the three pri-
soners in the hands of the persons who had started in pur-
suit. He examined their clothes (now preduced), and found
a great quantity of blood, on those especially of Gill and Bur-
linson. It was quite fresh. The hands of the latter were co-
vered with blood. There was blood also upon his face. The
wristbands of Gill's jacket and his hands were stained with
blood. There was no blood on Nuttall's hands, but there was
some on his waistcoat and trousers. He said his nose had
bled. The witness saw Nuttall next morning at his cell. He
said he was innocent, that ho never struck the old man. He
had gone out, he said, into the yard, and when ho came back
the old man was down. Saw Gill at half-past two, and he said
he did not kill the old man. They had all three, he said, gone
into the house about half-past ten o'clock, and had five pints of
ale. About twelve o'clock they wanted some more, and Cocker
refused. Burlinson took a piece of iron out of his pocket and
struck him en the head. He cried out, " Oh, lads, don't mur-
der me." Somebody came to the door, and they all ran out.
They met afterwards on the bridge. He said he had got the
blood on his clothes by Burlinson striking the old man.
Joseph Dickson stated that he took Gilt into custody about
half-past one o'clock by the old cotton-mill corner. Went to
the house of Nuttall's father, but did not find him. Burlinson
he took into custody about twenty yards from Cocker's house.
Burlinson asked if they had got Nuttall. lie asked who had
run him down the back street, and said, if they had run a little
faster, they would have caught the other as well.
From the evidence of the surgeon, it appeared that the vio-
lence which had been used towards the deceased had been of the
most dreadful kind. There was a wound on the back of the
head four inches long, and three inches wide ; a second on the
right side, nearly severing the ear. They were either of them
mortal. There were five other wounds, each of which had
fractured the skull. They were produced by some blunt cut-
ting instrument. The claws of a hammer would produce such
wounds. He at first thought they had been caused by a poker
covered with blood which was found lying across the legs of the
deceased, but his opinion w'as changed on dissection.
Mr. Inchbald, tallow-chandler at Knaresborough, said, the
prisoner Nuttall had been in his employment about five years.
About six weeks before this occurrence he. missed a cooper's
adze, and in making search since the murder, he found half
the blade broken off. The other half, which would contain
that part in which the handle would be fitted, was not found.
Witness went into Cocker's house the night before the murder,
and found the prisoners there. They went away soon after he
entered.

Mr. Wood, the coroner, produced the, statements of the
prisoners which had been made by them on the inquest, after
the usual caution. Gill said that he had told Mr. Vickerman
all he knew about it, and that Nuttall and Burlinson had gone
the evening before for the purpose of doing it, but Mr. Inch-
bald came in and put them off.. According to the statement
of Burlinson, he alleged they all knew what they were going
to do, and were all one as willing as the other ; that the weapon
belonged to Nuttall ; that it was a hammer, and had, after the
murder, been thrown into the Cherry-tree Deeps, in the river
above the bridge. He said Nuttall was the first to bar the
door, but in about two minutes cut out, he thought because
the women came. Gill came back and took the hammer
and struck him three or four times, and then they all
went away. They went out into the fields, but returned at
the suggestion of Nuttall, who said they had better go back.
Nuttall said he was innocent; that he had germ out into the
yard, and when he came back Cocker was down ; that Burlin-
son called to him to bar the door, and that under his first im-
pulse he did so, but could not stand it, and ran out ; that the
others followed ; that they consulted together, and thought he
was not dead; that they returned, intending to go in and kill
him out; that Gill took the hammer and struck him three or
four times very hard.
Mr. WILKINS addressed the Jury forlthe prisoner Nuttall,
contending that all the evidence in the case was consistent
with his own statement, namely he was no participator in the
original intention to murder, and was taken by surprise when
he found himself a spectator of the dreadful scene which had
been enacted in the house of the deceased.
Mr. NEWTON' for the other prisoners, contended that the
crime had probably been committed in the heat of blood arising
in the contest, which commenced by the refusal of the deceased
to give them any more ale ; that one blow had brought on
another, resulting finally in the death of the unfortunate man,
without any premeditation on the part. of the prisoners.
His Loansme summed up,:and went in detail through every
portion of the evidence. There was nothing, he said, which
had been proved in the case which would reduce the offence in
law from murder to manslaughter. If they saw anything in
the evidence which they thought would justify them in infer-
ring such circumstances, it was no doubt open to them to give
such a verdict; but if they did not, it was their bounden duty,
regardless of all consequences, to return a verdict of guilty of
murder.
The Jury retired for a short time, and returned into Court
with a verdiet of Guilty of murder against all the prisoners.
His Loanssur,:much overcome by his emotions, addressed
a few impressive sentences to the prisoners, and left them,
without hose, for execution.
On the Civil side the Court was engaged the whole day in
the trial of a question respecting the right of the Coroners in
the county of York to exercise their office in those parts of the
Duchy of Lancaster which are locally situlte within the boun-
dary of the county of York. The question in the present case
respects the honour of Pontefract. The case will probably not
conclude until a late hour to-morrow.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Captain Spicer, of the Royal Sovereign, steam-vessel, ap-
peared before the Lord Mayor upon a summons, to answer the
complaint of Mr. Hugh Owen, the Honorary Secretary. to the
London Welsh Provident Society, under the fol;owing circum-
stances :
Mr. Pearce attended for the defendant, and Mr. Hobler
jun., for the complainant.
Mr. Owen, who said that he resided at No. 8, Coles-ter-
race, Barnsbury-road, Islington, deposed that, in the early part
of une, he hired the Royal Sovereign steam-vessel for an ex-
cursion for the members and friends of the Society, to take
place on the 14th of July. The intended excursion was not
advertised, but tickets were issued by the Society. Amongst
the persons who presented themselves for admittance; were two
females of a very low description, who described themselves as
friends of the Captain of the vessel, and were without tickets.
Witness, who attended to receive the company, informed those
two women that they could not be received without tickets,
and by-and-by the Captain appeared, and demanded that they
should be allowed to pass into the vessel. Witness expostu-
lated with him, but he persevered, insisted upon their admis-
sion, and, in a violent manner, pushed witness away, and
passed them on board, where they remained all day, to the
great annoyance of those for whom the vessel had been
len-
gaged, several of whom refused to joist in dancing, in cense-
quence of the presence of persons of such character and con-
duct. Witness heard that the conduct of the two intruders in
the ladies' cabin was most disgusting.
Mr. Pearce submitted that the Lord Mayor had nothing to
do with the matter of complaint, whatever course the Direc-
tors, to whom application might have been made, would think
proper to adopt. He understood that the Captain had a right
to take any friends of his on board on occasions of the kind. As
to the conduct of the females, his Lordship certainly would not
make that a subject of inquiry.
Mr. Hobler, jun., said that Mr. Owen charged Captain
Spicer with haviug committed an assault upon him, arising out
of the circumstance of the improper introduction of the two
women on board.
The Loan Mayon. said that he should consider the charge
of assault. The Directors would, no doubt, look to the busi-
ness of the introduction of the females themselves.
Mr. Owen said that he subsequently called at the office of
the Company and saw a gentleman, to whom he represented
the grievance, and who asked him what business he had on
board ; to which he replied that lie had engaged the steamer for
the friends of the Society. And the gentleman then said that
the Captain had a right to introduce whom he pleased on board.
The Captain had not, previously to the appearance of the
women, asserted any privilege of the kind.
The Loan MAYOR—I cannot see what right the Captain
had to put any one on board of an engaged vessel. There could
be no justification for such conduct.
Mr. Pearce asked whether Mr. Owen had resisted the ad-
mission of the Captain himself on board? Mr. Owen—Cer-
tainly not.
Mr. Pearce—Did the Captain extend the excursion for the
Company afterwards ? Mr. Owen—l had nothing whatever to
say to him, after the conduct I have described. He went fur-
ther up the Medway, to please himself.
Mr. Hobler, jun.—lf the females were respectable persons
do you think the Company on board would have objected to
their admission? Mr. Owen—l do not think there would
have been any objection, but they were the very reverse of
respectable. They were extremely low, and appeared to be
the friends of the fruit women on board.
Mr. Pearce—Did not these women you speak of pay ? Mr.
Owen—No. I received the tickets. All the company entered
with tickets. lam appointed to receive the company, and I
never received either tickets or money from them.
Mr. Pearce—l know nothing, my Lord, of the women of
whom mention is made ; I only say that I am instructed to
state that the captain had a right to introduce whom he pleased.
Hr. Hobler, jun. said that if so absurd a privilege existed
respectable people might be constantly exposed to insult from
the introduction of improper characters amongst them.
The Loan Ma vox--Most certainly. It is not to be en-
dured that the captain of a steamer should be at liberty to in-
troduce on such an occasion, persons with whom respectable
people could not think of associating. I advise the Captain
to make an ample apology, and to pay the expenses incurred
by this exposure.
Mr. Pearce—My client has a number of witnesses to call
in justification of his conduct.
Mr. Hobler, jun.—l have a number of witnesses to call, to
bear out the statement of Mr. Owen in the most complete
manner.
The Loan MAYOR—If Captain Spicer refuse to do as I sug-
gest, I shall enter into an examination of the witnesses on
Thursday next, and decide upon the case ; but I would advise
him to apologise, and pay the expenses. It must be evident to
everybody that his conduct has been extremely improper, and
that the intrusion of such persons as had been described,
amongst people of character, is not for a moment to be endured.
Mr. Pearce said he had reason to believe that the Lord
Mayor would hear nothing more of the case.
The LORD MAYOR—I hope so. Captain Spicer will, I
trust, take my advice.

STRUCTURE OF THE TEETH.—The teeth, it
is well known to physiologists, are composed of bony
structure, which is covered with a coating oe enamel—a
substance of a fibrous nature, and so hard as to o:rike
fire with a steel. Notwithstanding its apparent hardness,
the enamel is, however, extremely susceptible of injury,
and it thus becomes highly important to ascertain what
preparations are best adapted to preserve so important a
substance in its pristine integrity and beauty. We do
not hesitate therefore to recommend " Rowland"
Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice," as the most valuable means
of purifying, embellishing, and preserving the teeth and
gums yet ofered to the public.

FROM LAST NIGIIT'S GAZETTE
