111fIRDE1? OF st&. WEARE

Thu. rteil, Probert, and, Hunt, persevere in repeatiw4,
their several assertions and statements in Hertford gaol.
Two persons attend each as usual ; the prisoners con• •
tinue very heavily ironed, are kept quite apart from
each other, and all inter-communication is denied them.
Thurtell appears to have
,pecuniary resources, and pro-
vides himself with a substantial diet : all liquors and
wines are denied by the prison regulations. Hunt and
Probert adhere to their former statement, and the latter
continues weak and low-spirited. Thurtell, who is na-
turally a man of strong nerve, prelerves hi, composure,
employs himself in reading and writing, to prepare the
materials for his defence, expresses by is gesture a dis-
like to converse upon the topic ; and hints, in the most
reckless manner, that he shall prove that he was not
within seven miles of the spot at the time of the murder.
Some religious books and clothes have been sent to
Hunt and Probert from their recpective friends in town
Probert is, we understand, informed of the arrest of hi.
wife and sister, but not of the strong circurnstancc•.
which Mrs. Probert is said to have disclosed. He ex-
presses great uneasiness at her situation. The Magis
crates have issued the strongest injunctions to preven.
access to any of the prisoners, and iho e who are in im-
mediate attendance upon then; are prohibited from press-
ing them into conversation. The High Sheriff of the
county (Mr. Sutton) has been to visit the gaol and in-
spect the situation in which these particular prisoners
are placed. • Sir John Sebright, M. P. also called yes-
terday, as a visiting Magistrate. Every possible pre-
caution is taken to prevent external communication with
them. Any article transmitted for their use is exposed
to• the strictest examination, to prevent the introduction
of clandestine information. Thurtell, however, ex-,
eresses no desire to correspond with ai” body. He is
desirous, we have already stated, to have his memory
refreshed upon Hunt's deposition before the Magistrates;
but the. Coroner has not complied with his request upon
that point. TLe house in Manchester-buildings, of which
so much has. been said, is N. 10; it was taken by
Thurtell from the landlord, who is a respectable soli-
citor in Berner-street; a quarter's rent is not yet due
upon it, and Thurtell says he gave the key to a ti lend,
who he does not name, a few days ago. lc is the last
house but one at the right-hand side of Manchester-
buildings, next the water; and as the last is merely oc-
cupied as an office by the Carnatic Commissioners, and
the opposite side (the Duke of Manchester's) kept by a
steward, it would be difficult to find in the metropolis
a house better adapted for the secret preparation of any
outrage. Thurtell's story of intending to carry on the
bombasin-trade there is perfectly ridiculous. He is more

cautious about alluding to his gambling associates now,
than at the beginning of his imprisonment, and at pre-
sent seems more anxious to be considered as a casual
visitor at "the hells," than as a partner in their odious
profits: he even says, when speaking of one of the gam-
bling-'house proprietors lately convicted in the Court of
Kings Bench, that that person entreated him to abstain
from frequenting the houses in StJames's-street and Pall-
mall, ter that he (Thurtell) was not the customer they
wanted, and gave him 1.30 out of a sum which] he had
lost on the same night, to quit. He is aware that his
air-gun is in the h.snds of the police, but says it is of no
peculiar construction (as has been stated)'; it is, accord-
ing to kis account, the common air-gun which anybody
might buy at the gun-makers, and which he thought it
not illegal to possess, as he found such things openly
sold in the shops of the metropolis. He mentions it
cost him L:l7. We understand that the Hertfordshire
Magistrates are in daily communication with the Se-
cretary of State for the Home Department; in the pro•
secution of this enquiry, but have not, however, made
the slightest intimation to the prisoners, who are grin-
' cipally affected by the evidence given in the first in-
stance, of the further disclosures that have been made,

or the fresh arrests that have taken place. Of thete
superadded facts and circumstances, the prisoners in the
Hertford gaol.are, for the most parr, ignorant : and,'as
might be expected, have no motive at present for alter-
ing or revising their original statements.
Thurtell daily inquires respecting Probert's situation,
with an affected air of concern for his agitation.
The Winter Assizes Will commence (it is understood)
on the Bth of next month, and the trial of these prisoners
will of necessity speedily take place.
Yesterday the whole of the furniture belonging to the
unfortunate Mr. Wears was removed from his chambers,
No. 2,* Lyon's:inn, Strand, (the two pair of stairs of
which he occupied.) The articles, which were very
good,-were conveyed away under the direction of his
two brothers, as privately as possible..
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, Mr. Tetsall, the
landlord of the Coach and Horses tavern, in Conduit-
street, Bond-street, to the great joy of his family andt
friends, arrived at home, having, as we timed yesterday,
been sit at liberty by the Magistrates, after being bound
over in a recognizance to attend next Hertford Assizes,
to give evidence against the prisoners.
Mr. Tetsall, whilst he was in custody, detailed to the
Magistrates the whole of the conduct of the accused at
his house during the week the murder was committed,
and gave the name and description of every person who
about that time visited John Thin tell and his associates,
and active search is now making after an individual who
has been well known .as a " blood on the town" for a
great number of years. The Magistrates expressed their
entire satisfaction with Mr. Tetsall's statement. _ _

The watch of Mr. Weare has not yet been found:
it was a valuable article, to which were appended several
seals, and a very fine gold lady's neck-chain, which being
doubled; formed a handsome watch-chain. This is the
chain which Mrs. Robert delivered to the Magistrates
at Watford on Wednesday night. The chain has been
identified as the property of-Weare.
Hunt says, that John Thurtell had the watch, &c. to
dispose of: and John Thurtell says, that Hunt brought
it to town to part with it; and he got rid of its
Mr. T. Noyes was last night, after ,his examination,
conveyed to St. Alban's gaol. Whilst on the road, his
distress of mind was extreme; he frequently protested
most solemnly, that he was completely innocent of all
knowledge of the shocking affair till long after the mut-
der. It is alleged that on the Sunday, when he went
down to Probert's, two dlys after the murder, he was
informed by the murderers that they had done the deed.
There is no evidence to prove as to his receiving any
part of the plunder, or, in fact, anything against him
at present, but concealing the fact-from the Sunday
morning, at which time the corpse was in Probert's pond,
Mrs. Probert and Miss Noyes were present Oa the
Sunday, when Mr. Nichols asked Probert " What ma•.
nttuvres were you up to in the lane on Friday night?"
to which Probert replied, " That he knew nothing about
it ;" and they did not assert the contrary. It is stated'
that Hunt, since his failure in business, has been ;Am-
sively engaged in dealing in smuggled tea.
