WARWICK ASSIZES.

Thomas Tele, an Irish pedlar, about 50 years of age,
was indicted for the wilful murder of M. M'Comesky,
a fellow-traveller and countryman.
Mr. CLARKE, Counsel for the prosecution, opened
the' case to the Jury, and stated the circumstances
under which the murder was committed. He after-
wards proceeded to call his witnesses : the first of
wh(mn was
Wm. Adam, a servant of Messrs. Bridgwood, liv-
•ing near Minworth. He remembers that on the 7th
June, abopt 7 o'clock, he rode a horse of his master's
to be shod; went through Park lane, and coming
back the same way, about 200 yards farther, he saw
somebody lie in the road, at which his mare startled
and run away ; soon after he and John Smith went
and looked at the body; it appeared to be dead; there
was a deep cut at the back and front of tile head.—
When he went with the horse, nobody lay in the
place where the deceased was found. He said the
road in which the deceased was found was not a pub-
lic road; it was quite daylii,ht, as much as at any
ether part of the day.
Wm. Dunn keeps the Whste Horse public-house,
at Litchfield. He remembers the prisoner and the
deceased coming to his house, the sth of June, at
four o'clock in the morning. rflie deceased came in
first, and said he was recommended to his house ; he
said they had been up all night, and wished to go
to bed.

Eleanor Lemmon, the wife of a serjeant in the
Sussex 'Militia, now encamped on Hill Common,
near Sutton Coldfield, remembers the prisoner and
deceased aiming to the camp on the Saturday, about
a month ago; it was helmet n 11 and 12 o'clock;
they had two bundles of cloth with them. She bought
a piece of cloth of dr.! prisoner, and paid the deceased
for it; she paid it in a 41 bill that was very dirty and
-• ragged. She paid the deceased, because the prisoner
said he was his master.
John Henry Lees, lives at Beacon's End ; he ap-
.
• prehended the prisoner in a field near his mother's
house, at Beacon's End; prisoner was folding seine
cloth up in his great coat. When the prisoner saw
witness, he seemed confused; he had three Bundles of
cloth with him. Witness told him that from the
description he had, he had no doubt but he was the
man who had done the murder. He saw some blood
on a part of his clothes ; what he saw was a spot or
two on the outside of his clothes.
James Worse, constable of Castle Bromwich, said
the prisoner.was delivered into his custody, together
with the pieces of cloth, which were bloody. He
searched the prisoner that night, a.nd found upon
him, among other things, a pocket-book, containing
some. Bank of England notes, and a Birmingham
bank-note, two purses, one long, the other shorter; and
some halt-pence. He stripped the inisoner, and found
on his small-clothes two spots of blood.
The pocket-book was produced in Court, contain-
ing one Tamworth bill and some Bank of England
bills. • Mrs. Allen, who keeps a shop at Litchfield,
believes the book to be the same that was shewn to
'• her by the deceased, and likewise the long. purse.
Eleanor Lemmon believes the note which she paid
to the deceasediat the camp on Hill Common, to be
the same produced in the pocket-book.
'The bundles of cloth' were then produced, and
marks of blood were visible on each of them ' • two ,
•
. were spotted with blood; and one of them had a large
mark of blood thereon.
Mr. George neer, is a surgeon in Birmingham;
lie Was called in to munine the body, at Minworth ;
*hero was a deep cat ou his chill, a very deep cut at

N.

baelt part of his head, 'a'nd the skull was fraetttr-
ed. There were four small holes in the forehead,
1
which formed a square, which points were occasion-
ed, in his judgment, by the pressure without of the
instrument which gave the wound.* The interior part
of the indention was forced into the brain. The;
bones of the nose were broken down, and witness con-
ceives the whole injury WAS done at once, and the
blt.w was struck by a large body of some kind.—He
thinks the wounds might have been inflicted by a
large stone; they weir certainly the cause of his death.
The prisoner being called on for his defence, said
he was quite innocent of the crime laid to his charge,
and that the money he had in his possession was part
of the produce of nine pigs, which he brought from
Ireland, and sold at a fair near Liverpool, for R2l. 2s.
With respect to the linen cloth, he said, before he and
the deceased parted from each other, he received the
cloth from the deceased, and had never seen him from
that time until he was taken into custody, and saw the
dead body. He pleaded mercy, on the ground of
1 his having a wife and nine children, and, to the time
of his removal from the bar, persisted in declaring his
innocence. Yt

I His Lordship proceeded to address the Jury, which
he did in the most impressive manner ; anal having
read over the whold evidence that had been adduced
against the prisoner, commented on the severed parts
at considerable length; The Nil consulted for about
two minutes, and returned a verdict—i Guilty.
The learned Judge ititirediately proceeded to pass
the sentence of the law upon the prisoner; whom he
advised to spend the-shOk bad to livein fey-
! vent prayer 'to thatAtinottfOet.rio, at whose gra-
cious throne-It wdulditatsberresented in vain.
The sentence was tkrilidlitto eketution at hatfpast.

approaching fate. •

GVlLDNALL.—Yesterday a young fellow, about 19,
was brought up, charged by a serjeant of the 83d
regiment with being a deserter. It appeared, that
having been apprehended by the officers near the
Mansion House yesterday, Where he was endeavour-
ing to labour in his vocation," he gave himself up
to the serjeant as a deserter, rather than stand the
chance of being committed to Bridewell as a reputed
thief.—He was conducted to the Savoy.
UNIoN-stair..—C. Barker was charged by Goff
with a new species of theft, namely, stealing and en-
ticing away two boys, about nine years of age, and
afterwards selling them to a chimney-sweep, who
lives at Kingston. The price received for each cf
them, as stated by one of the boys, named William
Bellamy, was 7s.—The prisoner was committed fur
re-esamination.

W. Harnett, P. Barnett, and W. Rhode:, were
charged with having in their possession the body of a
man of colour, tied up in a sack. As Mears, a patrole,
was going his round, about two o'clock in the morn-
ing, lie saw P. Harnett with a sack on his shoulder,
and the other two with him. He immediately called
some other patrole to his assi,tance, and, after some
resistance, they secured the prisoners. The Steward
of St. Thomas's Hospital proved that a man of colour
had deed in the Hospital, a few days since ; but he
could not identify the body produced.—They were
committed for ie•examination.

Dawson, who was convicted at the Cambridge As.
sins of poisoning horses, and sentenced to be executed
to-morrow, has been reprieved.
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPJ44—The passengers on West-
minster Bridge, on Wednesday last, were alarmed by
the cries of some person in distress, and on looking
over the battlements to ascertain the cause, they ob-
served a boy half immersed in water, clinging to one
of the buttresses. They immediately gave the alarm
to the waterthen at die stairs, two of whom rowed to
the slot ; before they reached the boy, however, he
was so ex!Jansted that he had let go his hold and was
.• carried up the stream by the tide. They imme-
! diately followed him and were fortunate enough to
save him. On conveying him to the shore, he said
'he had fallen off one of the barges at the Strand-
Bridge, and had sustained !iimself thus far by swim-
; ming. I
As oanutracrien Voyaoa.—A Gentleman in the
neighbourhood of Downing-street, being at Deal,
became acquainted with some of the officers belook
ing to a frigate lying off that station, who invited him
to dine on board, and their -invitation being accepted,
he, unknown to his friends, went, on the day appoin-
ted, in the ship's boat, when after partaking of an ex-
cellent dinner, and a copious fill of wine, was deter-
mined to enjoy one bottle more, and stick to the juice
of the grape till the last moment for liaving the ves-
sel ; hen behold a signal was made •for her to sail
immediately to Gibraltar, and no boat being near to
bring him ashore, was obliged, instead of returning to
Deal that evening, to extend his visit to his new ac-
quaintances to their deitination ; and, from that
quarter of the globe, was put on board the first ship
for England, after an absence of fifteen weeks, and
landed at Portsmouth ; and a few days ago safely
arrived in town, to the no small joy and surprise of
his family and connections, who ha/ given him up
for lost.

Wedr.esday se'nnight, as the sloop Polly, Capt.:in
BARNES, of Ipswich, from Poole, bound to London,
laden with pipe-c?ay, was at anchor in Margate-
roads, one cf the men providentially discovered that
she had sprung a leak, and had hut just time to call
up the Captain and the rest of the men, and to take
to their boat, before she sunk in nine fathoms water.
The Captain and men landed in safety at Margate.
