MURDER.

John Butler, aged 24, was indicted for the wilful
murder of Mr. Henry Neale.
There was no Counsel engaged for the prosecu-
tion.

Mr. Charles King examined by Lord -TENTER-
DES keep the White Hart, Duke-street, Grosve-
nor-square ; I know the deceased Mr. Neale. He
lived about half a mile from me ; he was in the
habit of frequenting my house; on the evening be-
fore his death he was there, and bad three glasses of
ruin and water; he was then in good health and
spirits, and entered into conversation with
several persons present. After he had drank the
grog he went to sleep ; upon my waking him he ap-
peared very drowsy, but was quite conscious of what
he was about; the deceased left about half-past
eleven o'clock ; I went to the door with him, and
saw him cross Oxford-street, when he fell down.
A soldier was passing at the time, who picked hint
up, when the deceased took his arm, and they walked
down the street together; I should not know the
soldier again, but he wore the dress of the Grena-
dier Guards.
Stowell, a police-officer, here produced several
articles of dress which he found upon the prisoner,
which Mr. King identified as belonging to the de-
ceased.

Mr. King cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—
When the deceased left my house he was quite
insensible.
Ann Norris examined—l was in the service of
Mr. Neale ; he was a traveller for a house in the
city. On Tuesday the Bth March he left home
about nine o'clock in the evening, and returned at
half-past twelve, accompanied by a soldier; the pri-
soner at the bar is the same man. Mr. Neale ap-
peared very much intoxicated; the prisoner came
into the house with him, and sat down in the par-
lour. My master desired to have the key of the
wine cellar, which I went for, and Miss Neale, the
deceased's sister, carried it to him ; on my re-
turn into the room I found the wine cellar had
been broken open, and Mr. Neale had a glass
of wine in his hand, which he was of
to the soldier; but I do not know
if he drank it. The prisoner said he had brought my
master from Hammersmith were he picked him up,
and conducted him home, or otherwise he would
have died on the road, and that he was desired to
stay all night by Mr. Neale. I then gave the pri-
soner some cold meat, who did not call my master
Neale but Dennis, and said he was to have part of
his bed. Dennis is the name on the street door.
Miss Neale then asked the deceased if she would
light him to bed, the prisoner replied yes, and I
will have part of it. The deceased shook his head
as if he would not allow it. They had both
been drinking wine, and the prisoner offered a
glass to Miss Neale, which she refused. I, with
the assistance of Miss Neale, lifted my master
from his chair. The soldier took hold of his
arm arid they both fell down together; the soldier
got up, but Mr. Neale did not ; I never heard him
speak after the fall, and do not think he was aware
of what was going forward. I procured a pillow
and laid it tinder his head, but he appeared quite
insensible of what I was doing.
{The trial wee not expected to conclude till a late hour.]

There are fair arrivals of English Grain this week, and a good
Ripply of Irish Oats and Foreign Wheat. The favourable state
tradetr
of the weather for vegetation causes much languor in the Corn
day, and Monday's prices c.:n hardly be maintained. In Barley,
dull ;
Beans, and Besse, the transactions have been trifling. Good Oats
buters
maintain last quotations. There is no variation in the Flour trade.
