THE MURDER AT SWINTON, NEAR

MANCHESTER.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
MANCHESTER, JUNE 19.

Four individuals are at present in custody on suspicion
of having been concerned in murdering the unfortunate
young man John Parkinson. Brownbill, one of the ac-
cused, is a very respectable young fellow, son to an (Tu.
lent farmer of Swinton, with whom he re%itle., and has
always borne an excel!ent character for humanity. The
three Wyches, father and two sons, are wheelwrights re-
siding at Eccles, a few miles from Swinton, and, for
the last few weeks had been employed at Mr.
Brownbill, senior's, farm in making a cart ; and en the
night of the murder their labours having fini,hed, they
assembled at Mr. Doming's, the White Lion, in tie parish
of Woreley, for the purpose of drinking "success to the
cart and its owner," termed amongst wheelwrights,
" working the cart." They were all pretty forward in
liquor, and the younger Peter Wyche mrt with the de-
ceased, who charged him with having plagued some
female friends of his on the way to the races, which
Wyche denied, but the deceased persisted that he had
done so, and threw him down near the toll-bar, and
kicked and beat him severely; after which deceased made
off towards his (Mr. White's) home, to which he was sub-
sequently followed by the persons charged with the murder.,
THE INQUEST.

The inquest was held at the Ball, in Swinton, on Mon-
day, which lasted the whole day.
Henry Collier—Was an hostler at the sign of the White
Lion, in Swinton. On the night of Thursday last, the
14th inst., Anthony Brownbill, old Peter Wyche, and
Samuel Wyche, his son, were drinking at the White Lion.
About ten o'clock, young Peter Wyche came into the
house, and joined thews. He complained to his fah, r
and brother of a thrashing he had just received from Par-
kinson. Old Peter seemed vetted, and said he wished be
could meet with him, as he would " serve him out." In
a short time afterwards, Brownbill and the three Wycht a
left the house, and in about an hour returned again, when
witness heard the old man say, " I've given the rascal
that which will stick by him."
James Entwistle said, that on the night of Thursday,
about half-past ten, he was proceeding towards the toll-
bar house when he was overtaken by old and young
Peter Wyche ; the old man asked him if he had seen
Parkinson ; witness said, No ; when the old man re-
marked, " I wish I could light of him, I would make hint
as he would purr (kick) nobody no more." Witness
walked with them as far as the bar, when they were joined
by Anthony Brownbill and Samuel Wyche. The old
man asked a neighbour, near the bar, if they had seen
the fight. They said that they had, and that young
Wyche had been very shamefully us,d by Parkinson,
and that they were afraid the latter had killed him with
kicking him. Old Wyche then asked Brownbill if be
knew where Parkinson lived ; and the former said he did,
but advised him not to go that night. However, old
Wyche was determined, and Brownbill consented to show
him the way. Witness then left them, and they turned
up a narrow lane, towards White's house, the old man
saying, " If I can leet on him I'll do his business."

Mary Smith, a girl 16 years of age, on the night of
Thursday tie 14th, was sitting with Mrs. White in the
kitchen for company. The deceased was in the lioue,
and asked Mrs. White for some money to go to the public.
house. She gave him 3d., and he left the house,
but sometime afterwards returned. Deceased was in the
house at about eleven o'clock, near which time three men
came to the house—one of whom were Brownbill.
Brownbill went up to Parkinson, and taking hint
by the collar, gently drew him towards the door,
saying " I think that you are Parkinson," deceased
said that he was, and asked " what was to do."
When they got to the door, Brownbill said to some one
outside," He's here." A little man (Samuel Wyche) then
came into the house, followed by a taller man, and she
saw the hand of the taller m:mn raised to strike Parkinson,
but she did not observe whether he bad anything sharp,
or otherwise, in his hand. Brownbill appeared to lift up
his hand as if to stop the blow. A scuffle ensued, and
Parkinson retreated into the back kitchen, but the taller
Wyche fetched him back. After a struggle Parkinson made
his escape at the back-door into the orchard, and the man
having missed him, went out at the front door. Mrs.
White was much afraid, as Mr. White was from home,
and as soon as the man was gone, she locked the doors;
witness heard ❑o snore of the matter until between four
and five the next morning, when Joseph Potter Came in
to the house and said, that Jack was lying dead i❑ the

orchard.
-Alrs. White corroborated the last witness, as to tie
time the three men caine to the house.
Joseph Potter lives next door to Mr. White; got up on
Sunday morning last, between four and five o'clock, looked
through the window into Mr. White's orchard, and saw
the deceased lying there, at the distance of about 40 yards
from White's back door ; he immediately put on his
clothes, and went to the spot, found the &ceased quite dead.
Anthony Long, about a quarter to eleven, was passing
White's house with William Beswick, Samuel Fernely,
and James Bury, on the Thursday night in question, and
heard a scuttling. He went to the gable end of the house,
and saw Brownbill and Samuel Wyche coming out of the
orchard, and heard them say that they were better pleased
at what they had done than they should have been if they
had " fetched law" for him. Near the door of the liou,t,

witness met young Peter Wyche, who held a knife in his
hand. He told witness that Parkinson had been thrash..

ing him. Old Wyche came up and said to young Poor,
" You should not have pulled your knife out, I have !oven

enough." Heard Brownbill say that it could not do
to make that disturbance at any person's house. They
all then want off in the direction of home ; but Samuel
came back again and went into the orchard a second
time. Young Peter remarked to witness, with a knife in
his hand, that he would mark Parkinson. It was quite
dark, and witness could not see whether there was any
blood upon the knife.
William Beswick, Samuel Fernely, and Jimes Bury,
also gave evidence, but which only went to corroborate
the statements of the last witnesses.
About this stage of the proceedings the Coroner a, jti
journed the investigation to Wednesday morning, at nine,
o'clock.

We have good authority to state, that the
Niarchioness of LANSDOWNE'S ball is postponed from the
26th of June to the 3d of July.

An important and beneficial alteration, for
the public, has been made in the new Highway Bill, now
before a Consmittee of the House of Commons. In future,
in all casts where a right of appeal is restrved, it is to be
decided upon by a Jury at the Sessions, instead of the
Bench of Justices. The Hon. G. LAmrs, Mr PORTMAN",
and Mr. GonsoN, are the active Memb,rs of the Conimi:,tee.

LEGAL BOTHERATION AND PERSPICUITY.
In " HADDOCK'S Chancery," vol. 1. page 125, we find
the following specimen of legal perspicuity :......,, When a
person is bound to do a thing, and he does what noiy .1,-
able him to do the thing, he is supposed, in vquity, to do
it with the view of doing what he is bound to do."
