and I remained 200 yards on the other tide of the bridge,
where I left hi:n on Tuesday. We remained there five or six
minutes, and when we got in Frimiey we found the other
two standing under a tree on a little bit of green in front of
Mr. Robert's hr use. It was then between half-past 10 and
11 o'clock. While we were there I cut some co' the bread

the scullery window, and Jones and Levi took off theirs and
carried them to Samuel Harwood.
Mr. A.I. CHAMBERS—Did they wear their stockings? Wit-
ness— I never saw Jones with stockings, and I had no feet
to mine in summer time. Samuel had his shoes and stock-
inge on. There had been a window Iroken before I arrived
there; but I could not ray who broke it. I got into the
scullery.
Mr. M. Cnaemems—How came you to get in ? Witness
—Being the smallest I got my hand and leg through, and
they pushed me in as Hell as they could. With a worm I
worked holes inside near the iron bar, which the others forced
from its place and then got in. We all got into the kitchen,'
and began to look about. I held the candle, which was' a
piece Jones had in his pocket. Levi Harwood took 2s. front
a workbox in the kitchen, and we then went into a sitting
room, where we found an old-fashioned gold watch and
a silver bungling watch, engine-turned, a.large silver snuff-
box, a small silver snuff-box with a fine hinged lid.. We
drank some wine, but I can't say who it was taken by. It
was not by me. They told me to take a decant :r out and
give it to Sam, while he stood under the cyposs tree, which
I did. •
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Did you take anytiirg else? Wit-
ness—A humberellar and a telescope.
The telescope was produced, and he was asked to identify it.

room on the other side of the pissage.
,Jones went down
into the pantry and brought up some bread, cheese, and
meat, which, however, I did nut cut, and it was carried
away. We then went into a room upstairs where there was
no one sleeping, and we took out of it one dress hanging on
the bed, and two out of a chest of drawers. We then went
downstairs, and I went outside to fetch Samuel Ilarwood
in. Jones put on a green baize mask and a cloak. I did so
too. Levi Ilarwood put on a white mask and his white
guernsey. Samuel Ilarwood put nothing on. Jones then
went upstairs with a pistol in his right hand; Levi Har-
wood, with a pistol in his right hand; myself third with the
candle, which was lighted; and Samuel Harwood fourth,
with a screwdriver. In that order we entered the bed-
room, Samuel Harwood remaining at the Boor. Mrs. Hol-
iest awoke first, and Levi Harwood Said, " If you don't lay
still, my good woman, I'll blow your brains out." We were
all standing at the foot of the bed then. Mrs. Holiest got
out of bed, and, to my best belief screamed. Jones catched
hold of her, and thrust her up in the corner. Mr. Holiest
then awoke, and was getting off the foot of the bed to lay
hold of Levi Harwood. Levi fired the shot.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Wbat did you do? Witness—l took
the gold watch dr the stand, which was on a washhandstand
or table at the foot of the bed. We then all four ran down
stairs. Samuel Harwood was first, and we went out at the
front door, which had previously been fastened back with the
door mat. Samuel had pulled off his boots when he came
into the house, and had bare feet when he ran away. We
ran into the road, then along the main road, and over a rate
into a stubble field, where we put our shoes on. Levi Har-
wood said there, " I hope to God it's not killed the man."
After that we crossed the common, and carrying the bread
and cheese and meat, which I threw into a ditch when I had
got some distance. We went in company together for four
or five miles across a common, which brought us out against
the canal. I gave the gold watch, two miles before we
parted, to Levi Harwood. Jones and Samuel Harwood took
with them to Guildford the two pistols, two boys'
great coats, two umbrellas, and a bag of copper
money. Jones gave Levi his pistol, who took the
contents out and gave both back to hint or Samuel
(I cannot swear which) to take to Guildford. I did
not see where the bag of copper money came front,
but it was Landed to me, and I gave it to Sam at the same
time as I took him the telescope and umbrella. Jones said
he had been bad with the yellow jaundice, and thi tight I
had better go to London with Levi, and accordingly we
walked on. We had got about a mile from Kingston to-
wards London when Levi said that I had better go back by
a road waggon, and gave me sixpence. I found a waggon.—
Mr. Rolier's, of Godalmiu— at a public-house, and after wait-
ing I got back in that to Guildford. I went to the Wheat-
sheaf, and saw Junes there, who asked me where Levi Har-
wood was. I told hint he would not allow me to go any
further than Kingston. Levi on returning from London
came to the Wheatsheaf, and called Jones out about a quar-
ter-past eight. They were out together about twenty nil-
nutes„ and when Jones returned he asked if I was inclined
for a walk. I said I was. He then said that the goods had

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) .
THE :PLUMLEY MURDER:
The trial of the three men charged uith the murder of the
Rev. Mr. llol'est at Friusley, having been appointed for this
:norniig, the utmost anxietypas manifested to hear the
proceedings. It was arranged that the court should not be
opened until ten o'clock, but as early as eight the doors Of
the court-house were literally besieged by an anxious crowd.
At ten o'clock the Learned Judee took his seat on the
bench, and the prisoners, Levi .11amood, 29, Samuel Har-
wood (his cousin), 25, and James Jones, 29, were placed at
the bar.
The indictment charged thent;w4th having, on the 27th of
September, 1850,. at the parish 4 Ash, feloniously made an
assault upon George Edward Wiest, and that theY,dis-

Mrs. Caroline Holiest examined .by Mr. CLARIESON—I am
the widow of the Rev. George Ectivard Holiest, the vicar of
Frimley. On the night of the 27th of Septembe-, last year,
we were residing at the Grove-house, Frimley. Mr. Holiest
went to bed about half-past ten, and I retired to the bed-
room about five minutes to eleven. I locked the parlour
door before I went up-stairs. The staircase door and
the bedroom door were not locked. The bedroom door
opened on my side of the bed. The curtains of the bed
were open at the foot of the bed. We used to burn a light
at night. A little before three o'clock in the morning I
was awakened by an increase of light in the room, and
heard the voices cf men at the foot of the bed. My hus-
band was also awakened, and we both got out of bed at the
same moment. At the moment I was getting out of bed I
saw two men in the room, and one of them called out to me
to be still, and put his hand upon my knee. That man had
a pistol in his hand—in his right hand. He held the pistol
close to my face. The other man also had a pistol in his
hand, and he pointed it at my husband, and said that if he
resisted he would blow his brains out. The man wbo was
standing by me also told me that he would blow my brains
out if I made any noise. I noticed the voice of this man.
After this I attempted to get out of bed to ring the bell,
when the man who was on my side of the bed laid hold of
me, and forced me upon the floor. 'This man had a light-
coloured mask upon his face. The other man also had a
mask upon his face. The mask appeared of a darker colour.
I tried to free myself from him, but was unable to do so. I
think the same man was about me all the time. I knew
him by a peculiarity in his voice - a sort of squeaking voice.
While I was upon the ground I heard the report of a
pistol in the room, on my husband's side of the bed. He
was out of bed at the time. I could not see the flash of the
pistol in consequence of the bed curtains being drawn. I
did not observe what became of the second man I hail
first seen. I was sitting upon the floor when the pistol
was discharged, and the man was standing over me, with
the pistol in his hind_ After the pistol was dis-
charged I got upon my knees, and then upon my feet, and
r,truggled across the room 'owards Mr. Hollest's side. While
the man was still holding me, I managed to get hold of a hand-
bell that was on the fender, and rang it. I then observed
my husband struggling with two men near the fireplace.
After 1 had rung the bell, the two men left Mr. Holiest, and
went out of the room, and my husband went into the dress-
ing-room to get a gun, which was always kept there loaded.
The other man followed his companions almost immediately
after Mr. Holiest went cut of the room. In a very few mo-
ments Mr. Holiest returned to the bedroom, and he exclaimed
" The fellow has shut me!" I bound up the wound, and did
what I could to staunch the blood. This occurred cn the
morning of Saturday, the 28th of September, and on the
Monday following I saw the prisoner Levi Harwood at my
own house in custody. I heard his voice upon this occasion,
and I recognised it es being the same as that of the man who
had acted towards me in the way I have described. It was
my custom to ree,eve subscriptions lhr the Frimley National
School, and a few days before this occurred I had received a
quantity of capper money from the schoolmistress. Caroline
Bullpen, and amongst this money there was a penny token.
I have since seen that token in the presence of Inspecter
Hollington, and I now recognise it as the same one that I re-
ceived on the Saturday before the robbery. Among other
things that I lest on this night was a gold watch. which was
taken from my dressing-table. I had also noticed among
the coppers that there was one which had the name of Lloyd
upon it in rather large capitals. An old-fashioned gold watch
had else been taken from the dining-room, as well as same
'Wine and spirits from the cellaret. A cloak and two coats
were also taken from the passage. The cloak was afterwards
found upon the door steps, and two dresses, which had been
taken from a spare bed-room, were wrapped up in it. A
telescope and a decanter we e brought to me on the same
morning by a carpenter in the village named Parker. All
these articles were the property of my husband.
Cross examined—l was awakened suddenly, and I imme-
diately observed two men standing at the foot of the lied.
Mr. William Holiest, my husband's brother, has since shown
me two green baize masks. I said upon one occasion that
both the men I saw looked like sweeps. Levi Harwood is
the man who struggled with me, and I came to that conclu-
sion frcm his voice and general appearance. The man, who-
ever he was, had abundant opportunity for shooting me if
he had been so mind d. I thought that Smith was the man
who was struggling with my husband, and who shot him. I
think so still.
Mr. BALLANTINE- You still believe be was the man who
shot your husband ? Mrs. Holiest—l certainly do. That is
my deliberate opinion given upon oath.
By Mr. CrrAasocie—'l he fatal affray lasted but a very
short time, not more than seven or eight minutes. I have
never been raked to speak to any other person than Levi
Harwood ant Smith, and I believe that the former was
struggling with me, and that Smith was the man who was
husband.

know whether the first was a pistol or a gun. I ascertained
afterwards that Mr. Hollest's gun was discharged.
Mr. H. Davis, examined by Mr. RomersoN—l am a sur-
geon, residing near Frimley. In consequence of information
I received on the morning of the 28th of September, I went
to Mr. Hollest's house. I found him in bed, and with a
gun-shot wound about an inch below the navel. I attended
him until his death, which occurred at one o'clock on the fol-
lowing day. I made a post-mortem examination, and dis-
covered in the costs of the abdomen the marble which I now
produce. The injwy deceased received was undoubtedly the
cause of death.
Richard Giles—T was in the service of the late Mr. llol-
lest at the time this occurrence took place. I slept at the
top of the house. On the morning of the 28th September
I was awoke by the report of a gun. I was about
to go doWn stairs, when I heard a second report. I then
saw my master, but at that thee I did not know he was
wounded. Upon going down stairs I found that the thieves
had got into the house by the scullery window. I after-
wards looked over the premieee on the outside, and on the
gravel walk near the front dour I saw the prints of naked
feet, which went in the direction of the lane to the entrance-
gate. I also saw at the front-gate the appearance as
though some one had slipped down. Upon the lawn I
found an umbrella, and also two pieces of stocking. I also
found a piece of handkerchief over the scullery- window. I
gave all these articles afterwards to Biudlecomb, the con-
stable.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Why did you not ask? Witness—Be-
cause I were in a hurry to find out whether there was a fight
there or not. I was only thining of being in time to see the
fight. I can't say if I asked for anything to eat or drink at
the clergyman's house. I might have done so; but I was
not angry when I left.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you say to a person named Hon-
ley, that you had been up to the b— parson's, and that be
would not give you so much as a drop of beer? Witness—
I can't say that I did so or I did not. I should not like to
swear that I did not.

Mr. BALLANTINE —Did you not say you hoped something
would happen to the b— b--- before the week was out,
and that he might die within the week? Witness—Them is
expressions I never made use ot. I might have said it or I
might not. I will not swear.
Mr. BALLANTINE—IIe did die within the week? Witness
(confidently)—lt was not through me.
Mr, BALLANTINE —We'll see presently.
Witness—l should think it was, as near as I can say, about
three o'clock when I was at Frimley on the Tuesday. I got
back to Guildford about eight o'clock. I never inquired the
price of a pistol at any time.
Mr. BALLA NTINE—Pid you ever go by the name of Fly-
man ? Witness—Some people call me that. I did rot go
to Mr. Blackman's shop on Wednesday, the 25th, or in my
life. 1 don't know it. A boy came from his shop to say so.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you not bargaining for a pistol in
his shop? Witness—Never in my life; and the man said
so, though the boy said I did. It was on Wednesday I was
first asked to go to break into a house at Frimley, and I did
not know what house was meant till I got there and was on
the green, and they asked me where (he parson's house was.
Mr. 13ALLANTINE—Did you not ask them what house they
intended breaking into? Witness—No, because it did nut
come into my head.
Mr. BALLANTINE —You were indifferent as to what
house? Witness— Just one as well as the other as I was
after it. The parson's was not the only house I glanced

Mr. BALLANTINE—And did you not say what you thought
the best house to rob? Witness—No; my object was to see
the light.

Mr. BALLANTINE—And you called to sell your dishes too,
and at sixteen houses, to know where the parson lived?
Witness—Yes.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Did yon give no suggestion? Did
they not say to you, " Flyman, you have been in this neigh-
bou hood, and must know all the houses?" Witness— I hey
never asked such a question, and on my oath, with a clear
conscience, I can say I did not know we were going to break
into the clergyman's house till we reached Frimley.
Did you not fad out how many servants lived at the
clergyman's house before leaving for Guildford? Witness—
I did not. I did not know what they were loading the
pistols for. I was lighting my pipe at the time and I made
no remark. I could not say what they were going to do
with them.

Eleanor Vanner—l was housemaid in the family of the
deceased. Oa the Tuesday before this occurrence Creinem.
Ler a man coming to the house with dishes for sale. Hiram
Smith was that man. I did not purchase anything of him.
Ile asked me for something to eat, but I did not give him
anything. I had fastened a the shutters and windows be-
fore I went to bed on the night of the robbery About three
o'clock on the following morning I was awoke by the report
of firearms, and when 1 went down stairs I found the rooms
in a state of confusion, and the property in them disturbed.
I found some pieces of green beiza and an exploded gun near
my master's bed-room door, and also au old piece of hand-
kerchief.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Who pushed Mrs. Holiest into the
corner. Witness Jones and Levi Harwood and I were
standing at the foot of the bed—Mr. Holiest was getting off
the foot of the bed, when the shot was fired. Levi was
standing to my tight, and I had a candle in one hand and a
watch in the other. Levi was about a yard and a• half ofF
when he fired, end Mr. Holiest was going to make a grasp
at him with hip right foot first.
Mr. BALLANTINE—There was no struggle at the fireplace
with Mr. Holiest? Witness—That I can't say—not to my
knowledge. 1 had no struggle with him there. Levi, I
think, did not. Samuel was at the door and could not. 1
can't say as to Jones, for he was last.
Mr. BALLANTINE YOU made no attempt to save Mr.
Holiest ? Witness—l did not know Levi was going to fire.
I was looking at Mr. Holiest at t e time.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did any one fire at y 0.,? Witness—
There was a report of a gun, but I don't know that any one
was hit.

I.:ham Smith was the next witness called. He wore the
same forbidding, senseless expression as when on examination
before the megistrates, combining in a remarkable degree
the slight, active figure of the accomplished burglar, with a
cast of countenance at once cunning, cowardly, and cruel.
For a moment, on entering the witness-box, he looked
abashed and tvieble to raise his eyes or to confront the
furious glances which his associates darte l at him from the
dock, but by degrees his confidence returned, and it was
quite remarkable to observe the cool, easy style in which he
surrendered himself to the examination-in-chief, and the
half petulant air of injured innocence with which he replied
to the searching interrogatories of the counsel for the
accused. He said—Richard Trowler is my real name, and
I am a labourer. On the 27th of September last I lived
at the Wheatsheaf public house in Guildford, and Jones
lodged in the same house. Levi Harwood put up at the
Swan beer-shop in Gower-lane. I did not know where
Samuel Harwood lived. Some days before the robbery (on
Tuesday) I and Samuel Harwood went to Frimley expect-
log to see a tight. Jones gave me two dishes to take and
find out where the clergyman lived, but did not to 1 me
why. Samuel Harwood did not go into Frimley,
I called at about sixteen houses, and at last found out where
the clergyman lived. I did not sell the dishes there, but I
did at a little low house on Frimley.green. I saw a female
servant at the clergyman's. I met Samuel Harwood where
I left him, and we went into the Wharf public-house bard
by. We had a pot of beer, two pennyworth of bread, and a
pennyworth of butter. After this we went towards Guild-
ford, Samuel parting company with me at IVoodhridge. I
saw Jones the saute evening, and be asked me if I had found
out where the clergyman lived, to which I said " Yes."
That was all that passed on the subject then. The same
night Jones asked me if I would go to Frimley ; that him
and Sam were going; and I said I would go too. Nothing
was said as to what it was for, and it was agreed that who-
evedwas first on the road should wait for the rest. On Fri-
day evening, at half-past five, I and Jones left the Wheat.
shea', I going first with a hallaquartern loaf and half a pound
of cheese. I looked down by the station and across the fields,
and caught sight of Jones ahead of me, under Woodbridge-
hill. I never saw anything of the two flarwoode until I
had got to within two and a half or three miles of Frimley,
on the top of a hill which leads on to a common. We were
there all four together, about nine or half-past nine o'clock
Levi Harwood then loaded two pistols, which lie had iu his
pocket, with marblea Jones asked him what he had got to
put hi them, arid he said that he had three stone marbles.-
one was rather larger than the other two, but they would fit
the barrels. We all were standing close together, and must
have heard what was said then. He asked for a piece of
paper, which I forget whether I or Sam gave him. Wheri
the pistols were leaded Levi put one in his pocket, and' gave
one to Jones. I had the baize with which the masks were
mule. Jones made his, and I made mine, and no others
were made. Jones carried a small parcel, which he said
contained a white Guernsey. We then went on tdwarde
Frimley. Levi, Harwood, ani Jones went fiat, end Sam

Mr. BALLANTINE—Wero you not in again since? Wit-
ness—l was walking along the road, and was taken up on

this matter.

Mr. BALLANTIN
• ,E—Who were you taken into custody with

ment, of driving him back to 2 to 1; the re-action, how-
ever, was so decided that at the close no one would lay

Theseus at 40 and 35 t.) 1, end 1,000 to 30, and (at least

feel very reluctant to intrude myself upon the
columns of a newspaper that can be so much better occa-

In The Sun of this evening appears an acrostic to Mr.
Phelps, ascribed to " Charles Wilton." This trifle I wrote
lour years ago for a daily dramatic publicati'n, called The

aeries of " Acrostics to Actors" that 1 contributed to that
journal. I enclose you the number of that publication to

NEW LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.—The first of the new
engines, built by Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Co., for the
South-Eastern Railway, to work their Great Exhibition
tratlie, made an experimental trip yesterday from London
to Folkestone. The engine, with a first and second-class car-
riage attached, conveying Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P.;
Mr. James M`Gregor chairman of the South-Eastern Rail-
way; Mr. Peter NV. Barlow, engineer in chief; and Mr.
James Cudworth, locomotive superintendent, started from the
London-bridge terminus at 12 15 P.m. No trial of speed
could take place until the Red-hill junction was passed, a
Brighten train being in front; but from this point to
sn
Ash-
ford the journey was performed, without stopping,
average speed of sixty miles an hour. The trial proved
