THE POLSTEAD MURDER.

Since the commitment of William Corder, who is at
present lying in the gaol of Bury St. Edmund's under the
coroner's warrant, to abide his trial on suspicion of having
murdered a young female named Mary Martin, his conduct
has been perfectly decorous, and quite in unison with the
awful situation in which he is placed, and the barbarous
crime with which he is accused, the truth or falsehood of
which, as far as he may or may not be implicated, must
ere many days elapse be determined. As the hour ap-
proaches at which his fate must be decided, when he must
be pronounced innocent or guilty, his self-possession, in-
stead of, as might natnrally be supposed, deserting him,
is on the contrary, on the increase, and for some time
past be has been unremittingly occupied i• preparing
his defence, which be pm-poses delivering personally in
the Court.

The model he has adopted is that supplied in the speech
of the notorious John Thurtell, on his trial at Hertford,
and he intends adhering to it in the exordium, narrative,
and peroration, making only such alterations al circum-
stances render actually neee.ssary, _end introducing such ad-
ditional and explanatory matter as may tend to the eluci-
dation of kis case.
