THE 81,032 LAY HURST MURDER.

Since the committal a George Jackson and
Charles Brown, charged with the murder of Mr.
W. Ctiarlesworth, both the prisoners have made
confessions. That of -G. Jackson is as follows
"I went to the Coach and Horses on Friday night,
and was looking at them bowling, and they made
me make one. This young man was then in the
house. I sat in the house on the contrary side to
Mr. Bamford. Mr. Bamford and Mr. Charlesworth
were quarrelling, and I listened to them. John
Cresswell (called 'Dulcimer Jack') and Brown were
making a bargain Cr go and frighten Cbarleswo:th.
Cresswell said, ' I'll go and put anoth-r jacket on,
so that he won't know me ;' and when against Mr.
Fitchett's hedge he said, ' You must not say ant
thing, we shall have something to-night.' He said
to me and C. Brown, Go on after him, and follow
him, and lay hold of him, and I'll follow.' I felt
very tipsy, and me and Brown went on, and I was'
going on and Brown sa'd, Oh come on, we shad
have some money to-night.' I was that tipsy I did
not know what I was doing. I pulled a stake out of
the hedge as I was going along, and Mr. Charles'
worth asked me where I was going, and I told bin'
I was going along the road, and he catched me 3
stroke with bis stick. He said, " I know you are
after me ; .you mean to rob me." Then he up with
his stick to hit me again, and I got this stick, and ,
hit him on the back of the bead and knocked hint
down, and I was so sorry I tumbled down myself.
I was very tipsy, and I did not know what I Waj
doing, or I should not have done it. That was aIX
as I did at him, and Chariot Brown picked big
pockets and gave me the money, and I put it into
my pocket ; and be picked up the stake, but whe-
ther he hit him I cannot tell, for I was that put
about I sat on the hedge, and was rather s'el;
directly after. He (Brown) said, " Come on," and
we did, and we went off along the road across the
fields. When we got towards our house he asked
me for some money. I gave him three halfcrowee;
He said, " The other will do at night, and
we parted at that, and I never saw no more
of him till next day at the Coach and Horses.
" Duley Jack" came to me and said, " You
must not say anything ;" so that's how it W 34
sealed." Brown said, " I did not pick up the stick
nor did not persuade him to go with me. I piekea
one pocket, he picked the other. I gava him the
money. He gave me two halfcrowns. That's all.
