William Edwards—ls a working tailor in the
employ of Mr. Tipple, of Melford.. The shop f
Mr. Tipple looks into the premises of Mr. Ling, 'I
carpenter and joiner. Ling has a yard in which
wood generally lies about. Tipple's shop looks into
the yard. Knows Mrs. Groom, whose premises ad-
join Ling's. Has seen Gosling at work in Ling 's
yard. On the 15th of November last, saw Mo•
Groom go into Ling 's yard and take pieces of wood
out of the yard, and carry on to her premises. Saw
her return again, take other pieces, and carry their
away; the other prisoner was standing by, chopping the
p'eces Mrs. Groom took away. Mrs. Groom returned
}1 third time, and stood by while Gosling took
parcel of wood from the yard on to the premises of
Mrs. Groom. Spilling then came up. By Mrs.
Groom's premises he meant the back yard of her
premises. Believes she took them into her house,
but did not see her enter. Gosling took another
parcel. Gosling looked cautiously at his master's
shop before he took away the wood. Ling, in about
ten minutes, came with Gosling into Tipple's shop.
Ling said, " he certainly would prosecute him for
what he had done, as he had ordered that nobodY
should have chips off his. premises." Gosling
" he hoped not," he had done wrong, for Mr,
Ling had ordered to the contrary." Heard nothing
else. and Gosling went away together.

curtsied in a very graceful and lady4ike manner T,

warrant of the Coroner, with the wilful murder ,
Francis Jose. The deceased was nephew to the
prisoner, and the witnesses called for the proseew
tion were, the brother of the deceased, and "one or
two other very near relations of both the parties. it
appeared from the evidence, that on the` sth Dec.
last, the prisoner having• taken, by way of distress,
some bullocks belonging to a cousin si his, sent
them in the custody of a constable to the premise'
which were the common residence of the prisoner
family and that of the deceased. The deceased,
thinking it a most unfriendly act, called the prisoner
a rogue and an old dog, and came up very close to
the prisoner, upon which the latter, who had, up t°
this time, had his hands in his coat-pockets, drew
one of them out, and struck the deceased over the
eye. The prisoner having had some nails in his
pocket, one of them was in his hand when he struck
the blow. It penetrated the scull near the temple,
and the deceased died in two or three minutes. The
prisoner was a little in liquor at the time, and 0,11
being told that he had killed his nephew, he site'
If I have done it, I'd give a room full of gold it

Lion for life. Subsequently, the Judge re-operes
the Court at his lodgings, and suspended the se
tence for the purpose of introducing some mitigation'
