THE TRIAL OF TA WELL.

AYLESI3I7II; MESDAT EVENI,G.—The trial of John
Tawell (for the murder at Salt-hill), which is definitely ap-
pointed to commence at nine o'clock to-morrow (this morn-
ing) appears to have excited more universal interest than
any event that has occurred for some years pag. Nothing
else is talked of in the town, and even at the court-house,
despite the personal interest of the majority of those in at-
tendance there in the cases under adjudication, the whole
sum and substance of the conversation—the beginning and
the end with every one in the densely-crowded assembly is--
" the trial," " the trial."
Yet great as the interest excited by this awful proceeding
undoubtedly is, its manifestations have been most grossly ex-
aggerated. Not contented with the liberties taken with the
lives, health, business, and occupations of the counsel, and
even the solicitor of the prisoner, as well as his own proceed-
ings in the very limited field enjoyed by him for action, re-
ports have been for some days freely circulated that every
bed in Aylesbury had been engaged for three weeks past, and
that anything better than a" shake down" upon straw, with
as Oibbeway blanket for coverlet, could not be had for less
than a guinea a night.
" The wish " of some proprietors of excellent but unoccu-
pied feather beds, with full and comfortable appointments.
" may have been parent to the thought," but there was not
the slightest foundation, in fact, for the report.
The town is just as full as an assize town, with a tolerably
heavy calendar, usually is at such a time, and a consider--
able influx of visitors may be expected to-morrow, but tbat
is all.

The grand jury, shortly after three o'clock this afternoon.
returned a true bill against Therell, and that being the last
of those sent before them, they received their discharge
with the customary thanks, from Mr. Baron Parke. The
prisoner is said to be in excellent spirits, and quite confident
of receiving an acquittal. His wife applied to the high
sheriff to-day for five seats in the Court during the trial, one
for herself, the remainder for friends.
Mr. Bevan, the prisoner's solicitor, who spas falsely repre.
sented as being very seriously indisposed, is to be down here
by the last train at eight o'clock.
Mr. F. Kelly, the eminent counsel, who was reported to
be some-(Heaven knows 1)-where else, has just arrived by
the five o'clock train. The High Sheriff (Mr. Dayrell) lsas
issued printed notices of the regulations to be observed in the
Court during the trial. None but counsel and attorneys
engaged are to be admitted to the table. The bench is to be
entirely reserved for magistrates and their friends. The
grand jury gallery is to be occupied by the gentlemen sum-
moned on this inquisition ; and the petit jury gallery is
appropriated partially to the reporters of the metropolitan
and local press. The remainder of it, together with the third,
or cross gallery, is to be given up to jurors in waiting.
There is some talk about trying to get through the entire
case to-morrow. That will be scarcely within the range of
possibility, seeing that there are thirty-two witnesses on the
back of the indictment, and that a great number are to be
called for the defence. However, that must be a question for
to-morrow's consideration.
