have analyzed your Groats and Barley Powder which
you, having his Majesty's Letters Patent for the sole Manufactur-
ing of the same, properly denominate " Patent Barley and Pa-
tent Groats." I have no hesitation in declaring them to be ge-
nuine powders of finest Barley and Oats 1 ever saw. I con-
sider it a public advantage, and of great importance in the medi-
cal world, that, by your mode of preparation, a valuable, fine,
mucilaginous beverage and food may be obtained in a few mi-
nutes.

I have also analysed some samples—imitations of your arti-
cles, which are " warranted free from adulteration," these I pro-
nounce to be compositions of different meals, consequently, nei-
ther pure Barley Water nor Oat Gruel can be made from them.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

The above testimonial, from a gentleman who has already ren-
dered the public much service, by exposing various deleterious mix-
tures and adulterations in articles of general consumption, added to
the recommendation of the medical profession, make it unneces-
sary for the proprietors to do more than state, that none are ge-
nuine which do not bear the words " Robinson's Patent," the
Royal Arms, and the signature of " Matte. Robinson."

LATE MURDERS AT FETCHAM.

LEATHERHEAD, WEDNESDAY Er
eetee.--Vesterdsy
morning, about eleven o'clock, Hall, the Chief Constable
of Union-HallPoliee-oilice,.and Richard Pople, an officer
of the same establishment, arrived here in a post-chaise,
with an ill-lookilig fellow; who is said to be a Gipsey, or
tramper. Go their arrival at the Rising Sun Tavern, it
soon became currently reported that the Gipsey had given
important information at Union Hall Otto, relative to the
perpetration of this murder, and also concerning other ex-
tensive robberies, committed by Mary Aires and her para-
mour, " Cobbler Will." Hall had an inter View, eltno,t
immediately after his arrival, with the. Rev. Mr. Rolland, '
and communicated to the Worthy Magistrate the nature of
the information which the man had given. The Rev.
Gentleman expressed much pleasure that there was a
likelihood of the murderer being discovered, and after ob-
taining possession of some important facts, relative to a
most extensive robbery, in which Mary Ayres and her
gang of trampers were concerngd, lie ordered the officers to
proceed with the man (to whom the officers had given the
.nickname of " Mr. Screw") to the cottage of the late
Mr. Akehurst. The place which a short time ago was
a pretty retired spot, •eell cultivated, had become a
wilderness, the house deserted, and the gardens tram-
pled to pieces. The Rev. Mr. Rolland, the officers, and
the gipsey, went over the house, and having made a search,
they returned to Leatherhead. In a short time afterwards,
the Rev. Magistrate, the officers, and the I
g.psey, proceed-
ed to Oxshott, the place where Mrs. Ayres, the daughter
of old Akehnrst, and her husband reside. The gipsey had
given very important information concerning a daring and
extensive robbery which was committed about twelve
months ago; and that, after the robbery, the property was
secreted in the house of old Ayres. The gipsey was left
in the post-chaise, about half a mile distant from Ayres's
house, while the Rev. Mr. Rolland and the officers pro-
ceeded thither. On their arrival, Mrs. A. was in a
dreadful state of agitation. The Rev. Mr. Rolland strictly
interrogated her as to the last time when she saw her
daughter Mary. She declared most solemnly that she had
never seen her or " Cobbler Will" since the day after
Chertsey Fair. Mr. Bolland told her, that she must know
that her daughter was at Leatherhead Fair, on the night
the murder was committed. She replied, that for aught she
knew to the contrary, her daughter, Mary, might has
been at Leatherhead Fair, but she did not see her, nor kad
she any idea where her daughter and Cobbler Will were
concealed. The Rev. Mr. Rolland expressed himself dis-
satisfied with her statement, and she was informed that
there was evidence against her and her husband, of their
having received stolen property of great value, consisting
of gold watches, jewellery, linen, Rie., from Cobbler Will
and Mary Ayres; and that there was a suspicion that part
of the stolen property was then concealed is some part of
her dwelling. The house, which is merely a cottage, hav-
ing only two rooms on the ground floor, by order of the
Rev. Mr. Bolland, underwent a strict search. Mrs. Ayres
admitted, that while she was a leasing, just at the end of
harvest time, Cobbler Will and her daughter came to their
house with two asses and a pony, laden, and that Cobbler
Will left a sack filled with property of some kind, and also
another package; but she did not know their contents,
though they remained in the house a fortnight before her
daughter and Will fetched them away. She denied that
) she had drunk tea with her daughter and Will recently,
on a common ; but she rainitted that she once went to
see her daughter when slur was encamped on Esher Com-
mon. The admissions midi by Mrs. Ayres corroborated
the previous statement 'of.' the Gyrey, and satisfied
the Magistrate and officers that his information was de-
serving of their attention: • Previous to their going to Ox-
'thou, a messenger was sent to fetch a female who for
some time has cohabited with the gypsey. She was found,
we understand, in the vicinity of Tunbridge. During the
time that the post-chaise with the gypsey was standing
near the Bear public-house, at Oxshott, old Ayres entered
the house. On being informed that the officers had gone
to search hie house he burst into tears, and exclaimed—
" Thi • s shocking business will be the death of me." He
I expressed the utmost anxiety to know, if " his poor unfor-
tunate girl," Mary A.yrea had been taken. Colonel Spicer
II entered the house, on being told that old Ayres coal there;
end the landlord stated that a few weeks ago, at five
o'clock in the morning, Mary Ayres, and Cobbler Will,
came to his house, and took a seat on the bench in front
a it, and drank some beer. They appeared in a state of
starvation; and particnlarly Mary Ayres, whose dress was
thin, and very ragged. Will is a short, stout, black-look-
ing fellow. After they had taken refreshment, they went
sway. There is proof .the mast satisfactory, that Mary
Ayres, and other Gipseys, were at Leatherhead Fair.—
They were seen by several of the inhabitants of Leather-
head; and yesterday, when her mother was questioned
concerning her daughter's keeping out of the way, she ex-
claimed, " I hope she (lid not do it—it is very suspicious
—and it is very hard for a mother to think that her
daughter will be hanged." When old Ayres returned
home from the public-house, he was examined by the Ma-
gistrate, and he told the same story as his wife had done,
about Mary Ayres and Will bringing a sack and e package
of property ; but he denied that he knew that the Nick con-
tained gold watches, jewellery, &c.; he never had the cu-
riosity to look at the contents. Nothing was found in
Ayres's cottage except a pair of shoes, and. other, trifling
property which Mrs. Ayres had brought from her father •
cottage after his death and burial, The Gipsey, and the
woman he cohabits with, yesterday afternoon underwent a
short examination ; and last night they slept at the Rising
Sun, and the officers slept in, and adjoining room. The
Gipsey appeared to be anxious to state all he knew,
while the woman was reserved, and apparently angry at 'I
being interrogated. The town was in a state of ferment,
and crowd" went to the Rising Sun, mid expressed the ut-
most anxiety to know if the murderer was taken,

starting, the woman was examined; and later their exami-
nation had taken place, the officers kept the gipsey stud
his woman separate, to prevent their communicating with
each other. An officer rode with .her in a one-horse chaise,

a place where the gipsey the parties
should be able to effect the capture of the parties, who are
strongly suspected of having committed :the murders. The
gipsey is a man about five feet six inches in height, is
pitted a little with the small-pox, has red whiskers, and
red hair, which is very long behind, and is platted and
turned up on the top of his head. He is well acquainted
with the neighbourhood of Leatherhead, and appears to
have been for some time a disreputable character. His
object, it has been stated, is to get the reward which has
been offered for the apprehension of Mary Ayres, and from
his perfect .knowledge of hes, and of her haunts, very san.
guine hopes exist that be will soon -cause her tole taste!
