PeRTHER PARTICULARS.

FRIDAY ArrsAYOON.—The prisoner reached Po'stead
by two o'clock this morning. He was lodged at the only
public-house in the village. It is art obscure tate, and
does not contain more than twenty or thirty houses.—
The barn where the body was found lies abcut half a mile to
the left of the village. Since the examination of the
body the barn has been narrowly inspected. There are
some perferations of small shot, about the size of No. 7,
observable in one of the walls, and there are also some
spots and stains on the floor, which by many are consi-
dered to have been produced by blood. It is said, that the
prisoner was seen going in a direction from the barn about
four hours after the time when the assignation was to have
taken place, with a pickaxe on hie shoulder. It is also
said that proof will be tendered that he borrowed a spade
on the same day. The witnesses speak to the precise day,
from the fact of its having been the second day of the
Polstead Fair. At six o'clock in the evening the jury re-
turned a verdict of wilful murder against William Corder.
The unhappy young man is only twenty-four years old.
He was brought into the room to hear the depositions read,
and was in so melancholy a state of bodily and mental
prostration, as to appear wholly unconscious of what was
going on.
From the evidence of the surgeon, it would appear the
murder had been effected with a sharp instrument plunged
through the orbit if the eye into the brain. It was proved
the prisoner was possessed_ of a small sword that might
inflict such a wound, and that he had taken it to Hadleigh
and had it ground to a fine point a few days previous to the
presumed day of the murder. A reticule which the de-
ceased had with her on the day of her elopement, was
found in the house of the prisoner at Ealing.
