HORRID MURDERS.

row er: was inclined for the nrurde'r of Elizabeth
Carter, at Cratfield, Suffolk, on the !6th Oeober,'
1793.—This prisoner was brought to -justice be a
chapter of accidents. He confessed the murder to
on Heads, soon after it was committed; nut Heads, -
according to his statement,' knew lie was so muds --
given to speaking falsehoods that he disbelieved hint.
The murder is just similar to that of the Marr and"
Williamson families. The prisoner went alone and
knocked out the brains of Elizabeth Carter, as she,
was fastening her window-shutters, and then be
went into the house and killed her father in a stmt.
far manner, whilst the old man was sitting in his.
arm-chair. Some veers after this, Heads, who had
never before heard from any one but tli.—erisoner
that a murder of that sort had been committed, -,
heard another idol, in Norwich goal lamenting
that he had always been suspected of that murder
innocently, and Heads recollected the confession the
prisoner had made to him several years ago, of which
he had made depositions before two Magistrates ti
years since, but Thrower, the prisoner, -was never
heard of, and was supposed to be dead. There is a
common observation, that " Murder will out,'' and
the manner by which the prisoner was brought to
justice is extremely singular. At the time of am
national alarm at the horrid murder of the M,ar and
Williamson families, M. Archdee,•on Oldershaw, a
magistrate, was observing to a Mr. Fox, in commcm
conversation, that a murder resembling those had
been perpetrated at Cratfield, 19 years ago, and in
mentioning his taking the depositions of Heads, 110 -
he observed Thrower was suspeeted, V he never
was found. Now; Mr. Fox had a legacy to pay
Thrower's wile, which could not be dune without
her husband'Ssignature, and through this incident
the prisoner was taken into custody, as' well as
Heads, both.of whom had been transported.
Heads, in his evidence, told the same story he
had done.ll years ago, oh the priweer's
and a person proved having heard a female
on the night of the murder, arid that he saw a man
run from the house. The body of the young wo-
man was proved to have been found in the garden,
which corroborated [lead's story. There being
other strong circumstantial evidence, the prisoner
was found " Guilty," and ordered tor execution on
Monday, at Ipswich,- and afterwards- his -body to be
disseCied.

Mr. KLINE, the Admiralty Me4senger, •has 4suf-
feted more severely by his tail from his horse than
was at fiat apprehended. His shoulder Was dislo-
cated, three of his teeth were km:cked out; and his
body .was shockingly bruised in many places:
This day there was no Court of /Wei-meth—The
Loan MAyott, after inspecting the returns, Aordered
it to rise 2d. per peck, making the oartern loaf 18d.
