CURIOUS CASE OF CONVICTION
ON CII:CLI3ISI'ANTI.U. EVIDENCE.

A man was tried for and convicted of the mutt..

der of his own father.- The evidence against bias
was merely circtonstanti4l, and the principal wit-
S:C lilt's his sister. She proved that her father
possessed a small income, which, with his industry,
enabled him to live with comfort ; that het brother,
who was his heir at law, had long expressed tt
great deshe to come into possessiop of his father's
etlectS ; and that he had ling behaved in a very
~ndotiful manner to him, wishing, as the witness
believed, to put a period to his existence by no-
easiness and vexation; that on tt,e evening the
murder vias committed, the deceased went a small
distance front the house, to milk a cow he had
fir some time kept, and that the wi tress also
went out to Spend the evening acid to sleep, leav-
lug only her brother in the house ; that, returning
home early in the morning, and finding that her
father and brother were both abseil!, die was mode
alarmed, and sent tOr some of the neighbours lis
consult With them, and to receive advice what
should he done ; that in company with these
neighbours, she went to the hovel in a filch her
father was accustomed to milk the cow, where
they found him murdered in a most iiihurnan
manner his head being almost beat to pieces ;
that a suspicion immegiately falling on her bro.
flier, and there being then sonic show upon the
ground, in which the fooistri,s of a lihrnau bring,
to anti from the bowel, We're observed, it %%Ai
agreed to take one of the loothei's shoes, and 10
measure therewith the impressions in the snow ;
this was done, and there did not remain a doubt but
that the impressions were Made with his shoes.—
Tiros confirmed in their suspicions, they then im-
mediately went to the prisoner's room, and at-
ter a diligent search, they loomd a hammer in the
corner of a private drawer, with several spots of
blood upon it, and with a ,mall splinter of bone and
some brains, its a crack which they discovered in the
handle. 1 he circurnstan. es of finding the deceased
and the hammer, as described by the former
witness, were fully proved by the neighbours
whom she had called ; and upon this evidence,
the pi isuner was convicted, and suffered death,
but denied the act to the last. About tour years
afterwards, the witness was extremely ill, anti
understanding that there were no possiLle hopes
of her recovery, she confessed that her father mod
brother having offended her, she was determined
they should hoth die ; and accordingly, when the
former went to milk the cow, site toilowed hint
with her brother's hammer, Hod in his shoes ; that
she beat out her tamer's brains with the hammer,
and then laid i where it way ktiertvnrds found;
that she then went from home to give a better
colour to this wicked business, stud that her
brother was perfectly innocent of the crime for
which he had suffered. She was immediatdy taken
into custody, but died helm e she could be brought
to trial.—(Anterican Paper.)

FATAL ACCIDIINT.It is our painful duty to
retold a fatal and most melancholy accident wh ch
took place no the River Isis on the no» 'dug of
Thur,day last. Mr. J. Bouck.v, Exi,ibifor of
Corpus Christi College, and son pt the Rev.
J. W. Bourke, Vicar of St. Martin's, Shropshire,
accompanied by two other Under Graduate friends
of the same Society, was sailing in a pleasure
boat on this side of the village of Itlizy, %%hen a
smitten and violent gust of wind meeting the ves-
sel on i•s tack, it was upset, and we lament to
add, Mr. Moltke perished I He made an et-
fort to reach the shore by va jointing, (a pur-
pose happily accomplished by the two lieof le-
men who accompanied him), but his stren;.;th
entirely failed him, while yet at sonic d:s-
lance from land, and he stink to rise no inn e,
'[he water in that part of the river where the
misfortune occurred being particularly ti,ep, a
hill hour elapsed before the body could be re-
covered ; and alt hough Dr. Williams and Mr.
Hitchings, the surgeon, reidict' to the spot at the
earliest summons, and with all possible prompti-
tude, yet, after Si) long a subtnerston, every assist-
ance which, protessional skill could administer
was quite unavailing. Mr. Bonike only entered
in the University at the commencement of !he
present Term ; and that he was the sole child of
his afflicted portents is a circumstance that must
severely sharpen the calamity, and aggravate the
bitterness of their bereavement. We understand
that an institution on the principles of the Hu-
mane Society has for some time past been pro-
jected and held in contemplation, as necessary
to be adopted in the neighbourhood of Oxford
and most earnestly do we hope that the 'amen!.
able catastrophe detailed above, and the danger
of similar occurrences, wi!l lead to the immediate
formation of a plan that must meet with the ready
support and cordial acquiescence of every benevo-
lent and charitable person.--(Oxfurd Journal,

HIGH TREASON.

TRIAL OF ARTHUR THISTLEWOOD.
(Concluded from THE Slily of yesterday.)

OLD BAILEY.

SECOND DAY, TIIESDAY, APRIL 18.

The court ►net this moaning at nine o'clock,
anti the names or the Jury having been called
over, and Thist‘ewood and the other prisoners put
to the Bar, the evidence for the Prosecution was
estsrned:

Eleanor Walker and Mary Rogers proved the hiring of a
room in the house where Brunt lodged, in which the consul-

taliuns were held.

Joseph Hale examined—l am apprentice to Mr. Brunt, to
♦vbom I served two years last Christmas. I was %itll him In
Fox-court, and remember the man whom he brought to lodge
there. That man is' the prisoner Ings. Every evening a
number of visitors used to come to them. Among them
were constantly, Thistrewood, Tid4, Bradburn, Edwards,
Hall, Potter, ,Strange, Adams, Davidson, and others. They
used to stop about two hours, and sit iu Ings's room, on
chairs taken out of Brunt's. They called Thistlewood some-
times T, tend at others Arthur. One day I saw some (about
20) long poles, like rough tree branches, in the room ; and
there was, occasionally, hammering and sawing carried on
there. My master was taken up on the 24th Fritillary. On
Sunday, the 20th] there was a meeting in Ings's room, in the
rooming, attended by the persons I have already named.—
There were similar meetings on 'Monday and Tuesday. On
Wednesday, the '2Bl February, theymere alsO there. On that
day Strange came into Brunt's room, and was putting some
new flints into pistols, but went out of it again into lugs's,
on Brunt's saying there was somebody .overlooking them
from the opposite window. Thistlewood was there on
the Wednesday, and got from me a sheet of writing paper,
which he took into the back room., Brunt gave me sir_
pence to get six sheets of cartridge paper, and I gave it to
-him haven four and five o'clock on that afternoon. All

the persons in the hack room went out about five o'clock
on the Wednesday evening, and my master followed at
six o'clock. Tidd came to Mrs. Brunt between seven and
eight o'clock, who showed him a pike-head and sword

that were in the cupboard. She asked him what she was
to do with them ? and he removed them into the hack
room. Tidd soon after went away, and left word that if any
body called soon, they were to- make haste and follow to the
White Hart public-house. Some came, and went on there.
About nine o'clock the same night, Brunt returned home;
his clothes were very dirty, and seemed much confused ; he
paid to his wife, " All is up Where 1 have been a great
xnany.ollicers entered, and I have saved my life, that is all."
Another man soon after came in and shook linds with Brunt;
the latter asked this man if he knew who were in pawn ? The

man said no, and complained of having got a dreadful blow
in the side, and being knocked down. Brunt said, " There
is something to be done yet," mid he and the man went out to-
gether. Mrs. Brunt and I then went into the back room,
where we-found one of the poles, and in the cupboard were
several rolls of'brown paper, containing tar, also sonic cart-
ridges, and things called hand-grenades ; and an iron pot.—
At eleven o'clock my master again returned home,. and said
Ire should want rue early in the Morning, and to have his
'boots cleaned early. Heaccordingly• called me up at half-
past six o'clock on Thursday morning-, and asked me, if 1 knew
l'otters,af Snows-fields, Biirough I said, I did. I then clean-
ed his boots, which were very- dirty, and he shortly after got
and, took me into the back room, where we began to stow
away the rolls of paper into two wicker baskets ; while so en-
gaged two officers came in, seized the baskets, and took my
master into custody.
John Hector Morrison examined—l am a journeyman cut-
ler to Mr. Underwood, in Drury-lane, and recollect a sword
'being brought to the shop on Christmas Eve, by a man dress-
ed like a butcher; he had th,e sword wrapped up in'a smock-
frock without a sheath; he desired to hare it well ground,
and with a fine point he said his name was Ings; the sword
was ground, and he took it away in two or threcdays. A few
days after, he brought another to'hare the Same repair—it
was a particularly long one. I have seen it since with a Bow-
street officer.

James Aldous examined—l am a pawnbroker in Berwick-
street, and know the prisoner Davidson, who came to my shop
on the morning of the 23d of February, and took a brass-bar-
rel blunderbuss out of pawn.

Thomas Hyden examined—l was a cow-keeper and milk-
man, and formerly a member of a shoe-makers' club, where
I knew the prisoner Wilson. I 'saw him at the club a few
days. before the 23d of Ftbroary; he asked m 6 if I would come
'forward, and be one of a party to destroy his Majesty's Minis-
ters (these were his words) at a cabinet dinner. Every thing
was, he said, prepared for the occasion,'`and the dianer was
at hand. If I would join them,' he said, Mr. Thistlewood
would be glad to speak to 'me. He 'also stated, that band-
grenades Were prepared for throwing under the dinner-table,
and that the Ministers who escaped the explosion were tn die
by the sword or some other weapon. They were 'also to fire
some houses, and create a general confusion to distract the
public attention for three days, by which time all would be
arranged. The fires were to be-at stations fixed upon, 'and
among these were to be the houses of the Duke of .Welling-
ton, Lord Harrowby, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Sidmouth, the
l'.ishop of London, and some others, which I now forget; ttis.
was four or five days before the Cato-strect occurrence. I
went to Lord Harrowby's house before the 23d February, to
inform his Lordship of what was going on.. He was out, and
I followed him to the Park, where the servant said he had
gone; I met him there, and gave him, while he was riding, a
note containing the whole plot. I met Wilson about five.
o'clock in the evening of the 23d February; he said I was the,
man of all others he wanted to see ; he told me that the busi-
ness was to be done that night at a cabinet dinner, and beg-
'ged me to meet him as soon as I could. on that evening, at'
.the Horse and Groom, John-street; he told me that we were,
to have the rCsl of another par,ty in the Borough, and that all.
the Irish in Gee's-court, Oxford-street, we•rc in the plan ; but
they would not stir until the English.did first, as they had so
often been deceived before. Wilson said, a gentleman's ser-
vant had been supporting sonic of the party, and would give
them more money if they Went actively through the business.
He asked me if I had a gun; I .said I had a rubbishing bne,
but it was out of repair. He said I must then be 'provided.
with something to work with among the rest. He also told

'llse there were two pieces of cannon that might be had in
Gray's Inn-lane, by breaking (Teo two small doors; and four
pieces that could easily be had in the Ai illesy Ground. He
xplained to me, that after we did the grand piece of work in
~1-,,,renor-square, we were to retreat into the city as quick as,
and rally at the Mansion House: I promised toy

join him as soon as I possibly could in the course of the even-
ing. I went accordingly at seven o'clock, and-saw Wilson
and Davidson ; the latter complained I was after my time.
CrosS-examined7-I saw Wilson about four or five days be-
fore the 23d•uf Feb. when he told me of the plan in the open

street.

The letter, which witness handed to Lord Harrowby, was
here shown to witness, and identified by him as being the
same he had given to his Lordship in the Park.
The Earl of Harrowby examined—l reside in Grosvenor-
square, the south side, near Charles-street. I am a Privy
Councillor, Presidenrof the Council, and one of his Majesty's
Ministers; I am also a member of the Cabinet. On Wed-
nesday, the 23d of Feb. I was to have had at my house a Ca-
binet dinner, and cards of invitation had been issued some
days before to the following personages : the Lord Chancel-
lor, the Earls of-Liverpool, Westmorland, and Mulgrave,
Earl Bathurst, the Wise of Wellington, Lord Melville, Lord
Castlereagh, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Canning,
Mr. Wellesley Pole, Mr. Itphinson, and Mr.- Brap,-,ge Bathurst
The Members of the Cabi\-tet were, in common parlance,
called " his Majesty's Ministers," and at a Cabinet dinner
none hut the Members of the Cabinet were invited. I remem-
ber that on the Tuesday before the Wednesday of the intend-
ed dinner, I was riding in the Park about two o'clock, prepa-
ratory to my attending a Council at Carlton:House ; I had no
servant-With me. A person addressed me near Grosvenor- '
gate, and said be had a letter addressed to Lord Castlereagh,
which he was desirous to convey tii.tim—it was of consider-
able importance, and concerned -4oth that Noble Lerd and
myself. The letter now in Court is that, letter. The mats,
who was the laSt witness, at my desiregait: me his address
on this card (produchig a card.) He met me by appointment
on Wednesday morning, in ►he,riog, amongst the young plan- •
tations in Hyde Park, The Cabinet Dinner did not take
placeas intended on the Wednesday, but the riteparatiOnS
for it were carried on in my Loose just 51% if it was to take
place; nor did I countermand them until eight o'clock on hat
evening, whets- 1 wrote- a mite to my head servant from Lord
Li verpoti s.
John Baker examined•i4 am butler to the Earl of Har-
rowby; and recollect the preparations for a Cabinet Dinner
at his Lordship's house,. on Wednesday, the 23d February.—
The preparations for the dinner were not Countermanded
until eight o'clock that everting.
John Monument examined—(This witness was brought
into Court by the Yeomen of the Guard horn the Tower.)-1
am a shoemaker, and' live near Brooks'-market. I know
Mist ewood, and met him at Furde's; he afterwards called on
me with Brunt, and said that great events were at hand ; the
people were every where anxious for a change; he had often
been proMised the support of many who had deceived him,
but that now he had pit men who would stand by him. He
then asked me if I had any arms? I said I had not; he ob-
served, all the others had got arms—some had swords, others
pike.--or pistols, and that I might get a pistol for ss. ; I an-
swed that I had no money. " Well then," said he " I
shall see about it." Brunt came to me oh Tuesday, the 22d
of , February, accompanied by Tidd ; he told me, in explain-
ing the cause of his absence since I !att. saw him, that events
Wad often rendered a change of their plan necessary, but that
now all was fixed; he desired me to go MI the Wednesday
night to Tyhurreturapike, and I should know all about it.—
I was to speak to some people who were to assemble there,
and the sigu was. .this, I was to say BUT, and if they. were
friends they were to sispi'CON. I agreed to do so. Brunt
Called again on the Wednesday afternoon, bet Ween four and
five o'clock, and asked if I was then ready to go and join the
party. Ipromis-ed 'to 'do'so at six o'clock After I had finished
some hurried Work. At half-past six I went to 'field's house.
I saw him there—he 'went into the corner of the room and
took a large pistol out of a trunk that lay there, and fastened
it in a belt round his waist under his great coat. He also
took out about ten pikes, a foot long each, and some staves
to fix them on. We then went together
,up to John-street;
on the way I pressed to know where we were going, and
whether it was to the House of Commons ;' he replied
" No," there were too many soldiers about that place.-
-At last he told me, we were going to a cabinet dinner. in
Grosvenor-square; hut he did not say at whose house. We
went on to Cato-street, and I ascended the steps from the
stable to the loft, which was a small one. There were 24
or 25 men in the room. Oue man, in a brown great coat,
who was sitting down, and who had a belt with pistols in it
round bin', talked of the impropriety of attacking the cabinet
'Ministers, at Lord Harruwby's, with 14 men. Thistlewoud
insisted that number would be enough, and an overmatch for
16 of Lord H.'s servants, even supposing he had su many.—
One man said, " After we are dune, there trill be a crowd
'shout the door—hoW shall we get away after we do the busi-
ness ?" Thistlewood said, there would be antj'ther body ready
to assist us. Davidson rebuked the man who talked of the 14
men, and said, if he was afraid, he had better go about his
business. Brunt also said, that sooner than now throw tip
the business, he won'd do it himself, and blow up the house
with the combustibles they had, and perish with the rest.
The man MI6 was objecting then said, that as all were ready,
lit would joist also, and go under Mr. Thistlewood's orders.
Thistlewood said they should all share equally with lino in ;
the honour of the exploit, and then proposed that fourteen
should volunteer to go into the Cabinet dinner-room, that:
those who were ready to do so should file elf at the side of
the loft--zsa number did so. Thistlewood then went out fur a
minute, and, when he returned, said that Lord Sidmouth and
the Duke of Wellington were already arrived at Lord Her-.
rowby's. Nothing else occurred,, until the officers and sol-'
diers came up-and took us into custody.
Thomas Monument corroborated the statements of the last
witness. •
Thomas Dwyer, examined by Mr. GURNEY.—I live in Gee's
court, Oxford-street. I am an Irishman; and Thistlewood
said he had a good many of my countrymen. Davidson told
tnc oif Tuesday night lie was going on sentry; 1 went with
Harrison to Fox-court ; he bad a bundle wrapped tip in.
paper; when we got to Fox-court, we went to a two pair
back-room; the dour was locked when we got there, but.
Harrison got the key frthit a woman in the front-room ;
when we got in, I saw a cupboard, front which I 'after-,
wards saw a ball taken, wrapped up in rope-yarn; Har-
rison said it Was a grenade. Thistlewood, Davidson,
and- a few more came in subsequently ; Davidson had a
blunderbuss, a-pair of pistols, and a' bayonet in his side-poc-
ket; I saw Brunt there; after Davidson had shown the pis-
tols, he said that he had given la. for them ; Brunt said he,
would go out and buy a pair; Thistlewood said that some' of
the grenades lvere to-be thrown into the Horse Barracks,
and some snore of them into Lord Harrowby's, to set tire to
the house and blow it up. Thistlewood asked me how many-
of my countrymen I could muster? He-said he should want
them at-half-past eight that evening; I said I could muster
about 26 or 27; he told me to assemble with them at the •
Horse and Groom, and that I was to be at the Promfret
tle, at six o'clock, -at the end of Wigmore-street—that is a
house frequented by frishtuee ; we Were then to go to the
Foundling Hospital, to knock at the porter's lodge, put a pis-
tol to the porter's-breast, and then to turn rotund to the right'
hand, where-I Would see 25 or 26 stand of arms, which I was
to seize—at Ale same time,-he said,. another party was to
seize two pieces of cannon at the City Riding-schoul, Gray's-
inn-lahe—more, he said, would mal:e a breach in Finsbury ;
he said that there was to be a Cabinet;dinner at Lord Har-
rowby's that day, and that they were to make an attack
there. After this I saw a bundle taken out of the cupboard,
it contained gunpowder, which was measured into some flan-
nel begs; Harrison did this. After that, Thistlewood said,
that there was a dozen of pike-handles to be taken to Mary-,
lebonc—the remainder were to go to Finsbury, and elsewhere;
1 was asked to take some, but I refused; I had not seen them;'
I saw' powder and grenades first in a-bag; and one of the per-
sons present was directed by Harrison to take them to the
Horse and Groan, at the cod of Cato-street; the person
went oat; Harrison also went off, carrying with hint some
powder; I got into my dwn 'place about twelve o'clock; I that
day tbld a Major James, 'of what I had heard and seen. In
-consequence of what he said to me, 1 went to the. Secretary ref
State's, about one or half-past one.
G. T. J. Rutlive4 a Bow-street Officer, gave exactly the
'stung account of the murder of Sntithers and the seizure of,,
the conspirators in the loft at Cato-street, as was published -•
at the time. '

James Ellis, William Westcott, Luke Nixon, 'Tan Wright,
W. C. Brooks; Joseph Chipham, Samuel Taunton, and Ditniel
Bishop, all Police Officers, likewise gave evidence precisely to
the same effect with respect to the seizure Of the COMFII:4,
tors, the whole.of which we have already ptiblished.
Captain Fitzelatenee, who headed the military who aided
in seizing the-prisoners, corroborated his original evidence,
t phew Lavender produced the belt found in Thistlewood's.
pocket.
The various articles found in Cato-street, the belt found on
Tidd, together with all the other arms and ammunition found
on the persons of the prisoners, and at their lodgings, were
then produced, and identified by the witnesses. The tire-arms
Were loaded, till .yesterday, when the charges were drawn ;
they were loaded with ball. One of the grenades had been
given to a person by an order of Colonel Congreve to be ex•

amiued. The production of Ings's knife excited an involun-
tary shudder. It was a broad desperate-looking weapon.
The Jury inspected the arms separately, and particularly
the pikes, the construction and formation of which have al-
ready been minutely described. The whole had a most for-
midable appearance.— [Some- other witnesses were examined,
but their evidence was not material.]
Serjeant Edward Hanson, of the Royal Artillery, examined
by Mr. GURNEY—I examinee one of the grenades produced to
me at Bow-street. It is composed of a tin case, in the form
of a barrel, in which a tube is soldered. The case contains
three ounces and a half of gunpowder; the priming in the
tube is a composition of saltpetre, powder, and brimstone;
the tit) was pitched and wrapped round with rope-yarn, which
was cemented with rosin and tar. Round the tin and in the
rope-yarn twelve pieces of iron were planted. From the
lighting of the fuse to the explosion might take about half a
minute. If one •of them were to he exploded in a room
where there were a number of prisons, it would produce
great destruction. The pieces of iron would fly about like
bullets.
[The witness here opened another of the grenthles for the
satisfaction of the Jury: it was composed in the manner al-
ready described. The pieces of iron principally consisted of
old cart nails; such as the tyres of wheels are nailed on with.
The carcase or tin case was wrapped in an old stocking ; the
powder which it contained was pronounced very good]—Wit-
