THE MURDEO- OF ME WEARE.
4DJOURNAD. Igirttr AT EISTREF..
As the investigation into this horrid• murder proceeds
new features of its atrocity are discovered.
Saturday morning, at twelve o'clock, the Coroner
and Jury re-assembled at the Artichoke Tavern. The
Magistrates of Watford, ROBERT CLUTTERBUCK, Taos.
HAWORTH, J. F. MASON, and GEORGE WATLINGTON,
Esquires, were in early attendance, and many Gentle-
men of the greatest respectability in the county.
Before the Jury were irnpannelled, or the Coroner
arrived, the prisoners Probert, Hunt, and Thomas Thur-
tell, who had been confined during the preceding night
in St. Alban's jail, arrived in three chaises, attended
by the local police.
The new sack, in which the body was found,was then
produced before the Jury, and laid on the table. It
was split from top to bottom, and at the bottom there
was a large stain of blood—this was where the head had
rested. A plan of Probert's cottage and grounds was
then produced. It was neatly executed, and gave a
complete key to the circumstances which were detailed
by the witnesses. Information was also given to the
Magistrates that Hunt and Probert, on their way down
to the house of the latter, on Friday night, purchased
half a bushel of corn from a baker of the name of White,
At

_ Edgware, and took an old sack with them. They
also stopped at the house of a publican of the name of
Clarke, at Edgware, with whom they were acquainted.
Hunt entered into conversation with Clarke on the sub-
ject of the bill of indictment which had been preferred
against the Thurtells for conspiring to set their house
on fire in Watling-street. Clarke, who knew the Thur.
tells, said it was a bad business; on which Hunt took
out a newspaper, containing a contradiction to the
statement that the bill had been found. Probert now
seemed very impatient to be off, and Clarke, while they
stood in the house, heard another chaise and horse drive
by. They at last set off towards Elstree at great speed:
Sunday morning, John Thurtell called at Clarke's, as he
was going down to Probert's to dine.
Friday, Hunt was spoken to by a person who had
been an acquaintance of the deceased ; who asked him,
how he could have joined in such a horrible transac-
tion ? Hunt replied, I did not do the act ; I certainly
knew of its being concerted, for some time before it
took place; and a fortnight before I went to Mr. Rez-
worthy's, to inform him of the intention to murder and
rob his friend Weare ; but when I was about to commu-
nicate the fact to him, I had not the heart to do it."
The Cc:monde gave orders that no person whatever
should be admitted to the prisoners, as it was important
to-prevent conversations taking place, which may be
conveyed from one of the accused to another.

CONTINUAZION OF THE EXAMINATION.
The Coroner having arrived, the inquiry proceeded
by the examination of the following witnesses:
Chas. Lewin, of Watford, wine-merchant, was called.
In consequence of information he received, be went with
Mr. Johnson to search for the body. They arrived at
a pond called Hill-slqugh, on the road to St. Alban's,
in the parish of Eistree, on the right side of the road as
you go to St. Alban's. After searching for five mi-
nutes, a ladder was got, and the body was found. A
sack was over the upper part of the body, and the legs
were naked; the mouth of the sack was tied round with
a cord, at the end of which was tied a piece of stone,
and a handkerchief filled with stones, to prevent the body
from floating. Therrwere -stones also in the sack.
Mr. George Jones, of Stanmore, was present when
the sack containing the body of the deceased was cut
open. The hands were crossed on the chest; under each
armpit was a large flint-stone. The legs were also crossed
and confined with a cord, which secured the sack round
the body. There was a red shawl handkerchief round
the neck of the deceased.
Mr. Howard was then called in.—He stated that he
was the proprietor of the cottage occupied by Probert,
at Gill's Hill—it was a leasehold, and he let it furnished
....witness lives at 68, Hatton Garden' knew Probert for,
four years—on Wednesday last had Probert's goods'
seized for rent. He had heard something of this affair,
and therefore he made the seizure. Witness was in the
house on the Sunday after the murder. He saw a person
at-the kitchen door on that "day—he believed from de-.
scription that it was Hunt—he was brushing his coat.
Witness on the same day went with Probert to Mr.
Nicholls. They were in conversation about the house,
-when Mr. Nicholls said, " By•the-bye, Probert, do you
know anything of a gun going off in the night, down
your lane the other night ? I suppose it was some of
your friends got groggy and fired a pistol to alarm
some one going by. I have done the same thing myself
in my younger days." Prebert said he did not know
anything about such a circumstance. Do you not re-
-collect anything being said that night about filling' up
a -pond in the garden? On recollection, witness re-
membered something was said about filling up the pond
—and he said they ought to drag it first, as there was a
veil stock of fish there. There was some large fish there,
for he had put some weighing a pound three years before.
After they talked about the fish, Philip Smith said, that
on Friday night, about half-past eight, as he was going
along the lane with his wife and a Mr. Osmond, be heard
a gun go off, and afterwards groans, and wo'ild have
gone to see whist it was, but his wife would not let him.
He described the groans as violent, and said.he stopped
and listened till he heard the last of them. Three or
four minutes might have elapsed before he heard the
last groan. When Ole conversation finished, Mr. Ni-
cholls said, "I thought it was a joke, but now I think
it was something more serious." Probert was present
the whole of this time, but said nothing particular.; he
denied all knowledge of the affair. Witness afterwards
returned to Probert s house, and he said to him, as they
walked along the road, " What is all this about?" and
Probert said, " I don't know." On the same day he
saw John Thurtell and two other persons come towards
oberes house; one of them was Mr. Noyes, and the
other he supposed to be Mr. J. Thurtell, as he had heard•
lie wasNexpected. J. Thurtell and Noyes w ere in a gig,
the other was walking. Supposed they all came toge-
cher.— Witness then retired, and saw Hunt; he could
not swear to him. The person he saw was a black-
whiskered man.
The ConoNan said the prisoner Hunt had large black
whiskers at that time, but he admitted he had since
shaved them off.
The witness thought it was a black coat the man he
saw was brushing. Nicholls, as well as Smith, said on
the Sunday that'it was a gun they heard go off. Ni-
cholls did not say he had a pistol and a knife in his pov•
session. Witness believed be said he had beea down to
the spot in the lane, and sase some blood, but he did
not make the slightest allusion to -the pistol, which
since appeared tu.have been then in his possession. lie
said something of the hedge being broken. On Tdes-1
day morning witness met Mr. Philip Smith in' one

his Gelds. Witness was shootings Mr, Smith said trhe

said witness, in surprise:. and Smith answered •in tile'
affirmative. Witness then said, " Good Goy, how
could
.you keep it a secret?" Smith 'added, that it
would not rest now ; and on witness asking where the
pistol was? he said he supposed the Magistrates bad got
it by that time.
The witness considered that Mr. Nicholls was ex-
tremely culpable in not disclosing sooner the fact of his
finding the pistol. After he left Smith on the Tuesday,
he met Nicholls, who said to him, " why, this is likely
to be a serious matter that we were talking' about on
Sunday night ;" and he added, that it seemed as if there'
had been a murder committed. Witness lunched with
Probert on the Tuesday, but nothing was said of the
suspicion crested in witness's mind. He knew of no pe-
cuniary transactions between Probert and Nicholls.
Hunt was now called in, and after being reminded
no pledge could be given to him for anything he might
confess beyond that of sending his confession to the
Under Secretary of State, was asked if he had anything
to communicate? He then in a cool, collected, and pre-
_

cise manner, gave a long narrative of this horrid trans
action, which, as it does not differ essentially from his
confession before the Magistrates, inserted in the STAR of
Saturday, we do not think it necessary to repeat.
The Cononsa then put a variety of questions to the
prisoner, from which it appeared that on the night of
the murder he received IX from John Thurtell. This
he considered was for his " professional" assistance as a
singer, having been invited down to amuse Mrs. Pro-'
bert, Miss Noyes, and the Gentlemen, and he did con-
tinue to sing after Thurtell had told him of the murder,
and while the dead body was in the pond in the gar-
den. Mr. Probert also had £6. He saw Thurtell
throw a note-case and a purse into the fire. He and
Probert put the horse to the gig, and took it round to
the gate. J. Thurtell then brought the body in a sack,
with the legs hanging out, and asked them to assist
him in putting it into the gig. Probert ran away, and
he refused, but said he would walk on. He then went
on to the Artichoke, where John Thurtell joined him,
and said he had thrown the body into the marshy pond
he had passed. To several other questions, the prisoner
evidently shewed he was not telling the whole truth,
and was endeavouring to disguise his own share in the
transaction.
Mr. Charles Lewin sworn—ls a liquor merchant ;in
consequence of information; went in search of the body ;
went to a pond called Hill•slough, in the parish of Els-
tree, on St. Alban's road; in about five minutes the
body was brought up by a drag ; the pond was about
four or five feet deep, a sack was over the upper part of
the body, tied round with a cord.
A conversation ensued between the Magistrates and
the Coroner, relative to the confession of Hunt, and as
to the promise of allowing him to turn King's evidence,
under which inducement such confession was made.
The Coroner stated, that he had only to inquire as to the
accessaries before the fact ; any promise made by the
Magistrates could not influence him, as Coroner, what-
ever effect it might have elsewhere. He rather wished
to advise the Jury to find a verdict against all the pri-
soners, that none might be at large, and that all who
were guilty might be within reach of the law.
Several other Schusses were examined, whose testi-
mony went to corroborate the preceding evidence.
The Coroner at fire o'clock commenced. a review of
'the whole lase, when the Jury after a short deliberation
returned a verdict of—" Wilful Murder against all the
prisoners, viz. John Thurtell, Joseph Hunt, Thomis
Thurtell, and James Probers," who were committed on
the Coroner's warrant to the County Gaol of Hertford.
Thomas Thurtell made a written statement to the
Magistrates, on the Saturday, implicating another per-
son. It commences by stating, that on the Friday of
the murder, he met his brother and Hunt at the Coach
and Horses; and then goes on to state, that in the evening
Hunt came up to the door in a gig, drawn by a grey
horse, into which John Thurtell, his brother, got, and'
drove away ; Hunt went away with Probert. Ile saw
two pistols with his brother John, and asked him what
he wanted with them? .Hunt made use of a dreadful
expression, and asked what was that to him? and then,-
turning to Probert, said, " Bill, will you be in it ?" Be
fore they went away PrObert smiled. Hunt had pre-
viously brought a sack and somiscord, which'he put into
John Thnrtell's gig, and then said, "Jack, it's all right,
drive away like --." Hunt said, before they left the
house in the evening, addressing himself to John Thur-
tell, " Jack, our friends had better be civil, or they
will get served out ;" following this threat up with
the most liorrible oathii. Both John Thurtell and
Hunt- were constantly talking of ripping people up,
and shooting them ; but he (Thomas Thurtell) thought'
it was only their idle bravado. He (Thomas Thurtell)
was engaged the whole of Friday night, which has been
confirmed by credible witnesses. On Saturday morn;
g he went to the Coach and Horses, and remained
there all day ; John came about three o'clock, and was
is excellent spirits ; he (Thomas Thurtell) remarked that
his hands were much scratched, and asked him how it
happened ? John said, he, Probert, and Hunt had been
netting partridges, and that his knuckles were scratched
by the brambles. He observed a gold Watch in John's,
hand, and asked him where he got it ? John told him
to ask no questions, as it was no business of his.; Hunt
came in shortly after, with a bundle, containing a blue
coat, a buff waistcoat, and a pair of leathet breeches,
which he had taken out of pawn for John Thuttell. 'On
jetting down the bundle, fie pulled out of his pocket
three sovereigns, some silver, and a £s"note, and said
to Mr. Noyes, who was present, " Now, you —,
do any of you want change of a £5O note, for if.
you do, Pm your man; we are Turpin-lake lads, and
have done the trick," and then he laughed heartily, and
winked to. John; after Noyes went out, he (Thomas)
feeling surprised at such declarations, said to his bro-
ther, " what have you been doing?" when Hunt ex-
claimed, " why committing murder, to be
sure." These being words of ordinary use in Hunt'i
mouth, he did not believe him, and took no futtber
no-
lice; Hunt then went on to say, " we have been shoot•
ing game, and Pcobert has been holding the bag;
(Thomas) did not for a moment believe they had bees
committing murder.. In tbe.etening he (Thomas) went.
again to the Coach and Horses, and saw Hunt-and bin
brother at supper; they "Mere eating oysters; Hunt le.
pealed that they had been Turpin-like. lads, and a&
dre.oing John, said, " We must have a bottle of wise
—nothing else will do now," and,then laughed. ..

I - (Signed) ' *J. HUNT."
Across the letter were written these words—" You
shall hear from me soon." The letter was addressed to

14 Mrs. Hunt, No. 19, King-street, Goldewsquare; or
Mt him Mountain's, 4, St. Martin's-lane."' It was uptir
the authority of this letter Mr. Noel and Iluthvea.%l;ent
to Hunt's lodgings. Mrs. Hunt was out, but they larp,ke
open the door, and found the whole of the clothes of
the deceased. There was a complete change, which he
was in the habit of taking with.liim when he went out
fora few days. It was part of these clothes Hunt wore
at Proberes on the Sunday. Hunt always studiOuily
described these as John Thurtell's things., so as to save ,
himself from suspicion of being a party concerned. Part .
of the cord brought by Hunt to tie round Mr. Weiiie's--
legs was also found at Hunt's.
It was stated, in the course of the day, that t
miscreants had actually taken a house in Manchester-
buildings, Westminster, for carrying on a systematic
plan of murder; and that a young man named Wood,
had been inveigled there for the purpose of being killed.
and, had escaped only by an accident, John Thurtell
standing behind the door .at the time with a pair trf
dumb-bells in his hand, to knock out his brains. They
had fixed upon 17 persons to destroy in this way.

HISTORY OF THE PARTIES.
The deceased was a little man with high cheek bones,-
his face narrowing to the chin ; sallow complexion, and
having very much the appearance of a Jew. He was
formerly a waiter, but latterly engaged in gaming con-
cerns, he frequented races with an h. 0. table, and was
well known in gaming circles. He, was extremely pe-
nurious, and generally carried from £l,OOO to £2,000
about his person. This was always contained in au old
pocket-book, and placed next his skin, beneath his shirt.
This was known to all who were in the habit of being
in his company. None of his property had been found,
except the contents of the bag. The prisoners remain
in confinement in separate places.
The two Thurtells are related to respectable people at
Norwich, and were brought up as warehousemen in the
wholesale trade, but having neglected their business, and
habituated themselves to low and profligate society, they
became involved in difficulties, and it is feared have not
hesitated to resort to desperate measures to support
themselves. Thomas has acquired considerable provin-
cial fame as a boxer, and two or three years ago, chal-
lenged Belcher to fight him for £lOO, but the latter
having retired from the prize ring, declined the invitation.
About twelve months ago, Thomas took a warehouse
,in Watling-street, and effected an insurance in the
Coenty Fire-Office on his stock. His brother John was
to conduct the concern, but just before the blisiness
commenced, the premises were consumed by fire, and a
claim was made on the Office for £1,900, as the value of
goods alleged to have been destroyed, the payment of
which was resisted by the Office, in consequence of
various suspicious circumstances which appeared in the
transaction. Thurtell, however, obtained a verdict,
principally through-the evidence of his brother John
swearing to the value of the property consumed ; but
the publication of the trial brought new facts to light,
and an indictment has been found against Thomas and
John Thurtell and others for a conspiracy, and the
officers had been in search of them for several days pre-
vious to their apprehension on the present charge.
Probert, a few years ago, was carrying on an extensive
business as a wine merchant, and failed for a very large
amount. When examined under his commission of
bankrupt, his account rendered was so unsatisfactory,
that the Commissioners refused to let him, pass his exa-
mination, and he was imprisoned for along period under
their warrant. While in the King's Bench he lived
sumptuously, and expended a great deal of money. He
Was a constant inmate at the Coffee-room, and ingra-
tiated himself into the confidence of the fa milt'.
At length, however, an -unexpected a breach took
place, and Probert was charged with making too free
with-theta). He was indicted, tried, and convicted at
the Sessions House, Horsemonger-lane, for the felony,
and imprisoned six months in the Heuse of Correction,
at Brixton. ' •
Hunt is a professional singer. He is married to a
woman of respectable family, and a short time since
kept the Army and Navy Cotiee-house.
BURIAL OF HR. WEARF..
It had been arranged that the body, of the deceased
should be interred on Saturday evening.- • Shortly be-
fore eleven o'clock,-the tolling of the church-bell an-
nounced that everything was prepared for the melan-
choly ceremony. The coffin was borne onahe shoulders
of six men ; the brother of the decease& and mote of the
Jurors attended as mourners; several persons carried
lanterns beforeeand on either side of the coffin; and in
this manner thefurieral train,.followed by a considerable
crowd, proceeded up Elstree-hill towards the church,
which is about.a quarter -of a mile distant from the
house at which the Inquest was holden. The coronae!,
as in Ordinary cases, first carried into the church, which
was lighted up for the occasioa, and then to the grave;
the funeral service was read in both places by sheitev.
Mr. Annow, the Clergyman of the Parish. As the coffin
was being lowered into the grave, the .rope which was
placed round the foot broke, and that part of the coffin
fell suddenly to the bottom f the' grave, whilst the head,
being sustained by the other rope, rested- against the
side of the grave, sothat thecoffin stood nearly upright.
This unfortunate aceidents as might be supposed, created
some confusion: but the Sexton immediately descended.
into the grave, and by !treat personal exertion, in a abort
time succeeded in getting the coffin level at the bottom
of the grave, which was about IV feetin depth.

Neer and 'arresting Experiments of Professor
Damelrma, of Jena.

These Exiterirvents were first annonnced in this coun-
vy in the follms ing Notice by M. FARADAY, which aP-
reared in the 31.. t Number of the Quarterly Journal:
A most extraordinary experiment has been mide by
M. Dcebereiner. It was communiAted to me by
ilarchette, and having verified it, I think every chemist
will be glad to hear its nature. It consists in passing a
stream of hydrogen against the finely-divided platina
obtained by heating the muriate of ammonia and pla-
ti=.a. In consequence of the contact, the hydrogen in-
flames. Even when the hydrogen does not inflame, it
ignites the platina in places; and I find that when the'
hydrogen is pas ed over the platinum in a tube, no air
bein = admitted, still the , ladnum heats in the same

manner. What the change can be in these circumstances,
M: Dceiereiner has, no doubt, fully investigated; and
the Nevific world will be anxious to hear his account
of th;s emu kable experiment and the consequences it
leads F."
In the last Number of the Asenales de Chiwie, there
appears the follow/in& Note by MM. Dutono and Tax-
NA En, 1 ehting to this subject, which was read at the
Acad..mv of Sciences on the 15th of September:
" M DceNereiner, Professor of the University of Jena,
has just liscovered one of the most curious phenomena,
which the physical sciences can present. We are ac-
quainted with the researches which he has made on tbis
subject, only by the announcement which appeared in
the Journal des Debats of the 24th of August last, and
which is scarcely adapted to give an exact idea of it ;
and by a letter from M. Kastner to Dr. Liebig, which
this gentleman, now at Paris, has had the goodness to
communicate to us. It thence appears that M. Dcebe-
reiner has observed that platinum in the spongy state,
causes. at the ordinary temperature, the combination of
hydrogen with oxygen, and that the developement of
heat resulting from this action renders the metal inean.
descent. We hastened to verify a fact so surprising. We
have found it yet y exact; and as the experiment can be
made with the greatest ease, we are about to perform it
in the presence ..1 the Academy*.
" Having no knowledge of the researches which the
author of this beautiful experiment has no doubt under-
taken in orJer to discover its theory,i. we could not resist
the desire of ourselves making some attempts directed
towards this ol,ject ; and although we have not yet at-
tained. it, we think that the results of the observations
which wt: have hitherto made arenot unworthy of the
attention of ;.:te Academy.
" In ii t experiment which we have been making,
the spongy platinum becomes incandescent at the time
when iris placed it the spot where the hydrogen which
issues from the rose: voir is become intimately mixed with
the. air. From this it was evident, that a small quantity
of this platinum being plunged in a mixture of two parts
of hydrogen and r .e part nf oxygen, there ought to be
a detonation; which the experiment confirmed. If the
proportior,s of ti t gaseous mixture deviate much from
those of water, or if there be pt csent a gas foreign to
the combination, as for example, azote, the combination
goes on slowly, the temperature rises little, and water
soon appears co:idensing on the vessel. Platinum in the
spongy state strongly calcined, loses the property of be-
cornini incandescent; but in this case it causes the com-
bination of the two gases slowly and without a very
sett, title t Rising of the temperature. The finely-divided
pliaitia obtained by a well•known chemical process, has
no action, not even the slowest, at the ordinary tempe-
rature. The result with wires or lamina; is the same.
'the comparison of these observations might give rise
to the idea that the porousness of the metal was an es-
sential condition of the phenomenon: but the following
facts destroy this conjecture.
" We caused some platinum to be reduced into leaves
a$ thin as the malleability of this metal admits of. In
this state platinum acts, at the ordinary temperature,
on the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, and with
a rapidity proportioned to the tenuity of the leaf. We
obtained some that caused detonation after some mo-
ments. But what renders this action still more extraor-
dinary, is the physical state indispensable for its deve-
lopment. A very thin leaf of platinum, rolled round a
cylinder of glass or suspended freely in a detonating
mixture, produced no sensible effect at the end of seve-
ral days. The s tme leaf crumpled like the wadding of
a gun, acted instantly, and made the mixture detonate.
" Leaves prepared as we have just mentioned, and
which ate then without effect at an ordinary tempera-
ture, wires, powder, and thick plates of platinum, whose
action is always null, in the same circumstance, act
slowly and without producing explosion at a temperature
of from 400 to 572 deg. F. according to their thickness.
" We have observed that some other metals possess
the same property as platinum. the very remarkable
fact which Sir H. Davy discovered in the course of his
researches on the safety-lamp, namely, that wires of
platinum and palladium heated to a dull red become
incandescent when plunged in a detonating miatum,
baying appeared to us referable to the same cause with
the phenomenon in question, we were immediately led
to try palladium.
" The piece which we employed had been given to
one of us by Dr. Wollaston ; it must have been fro*
from alloy ; we were not able, however, to obtain very,
thin leaves from it; it shattered under the hammer of
the beater. To this circumstance we attribute its inac-
tion at the temperature or the atmosphere : however, it
acts at least as well as platinum, of the same thickness,
at an elevated temperature. Rhodium, being brittle,
could not be subjected to the same operation ; but it
caused the formation of water at a temperature of about
VA' deg. F,
" Gold and silver-in thin leaves act only at hi*h tem-
peratures, but always under that of the ebullition of
mercury. Silver is less efficacious than gold. A thick
lamina of the latter does indeed act, though with more
difficulty than the leaves ; and a thick lamina of silver
has an action so weak as to be doubtful.
" We have also tried if other combinations could be
effected by the same means. Carbonic oxide and oxy-
.4 • The hydrogen gas lamp improved by ?4. Gay-Lussac is very
convenient for making this experiment. The electrophorus id raised,
or the conductors merely are detached • a very slight morsel of pla-
tinum in the spongy state is placed at the db,tance of about two centi-
metres From the opening by which the gas escapes, and as the cock is
tamed the stream of hydrogen gas falls mixed with air on the surface
of the platinum. This becomes forthwith incandeecent, and the by-.
drogen gas, once inflamed, keeps burning as it flows out, as If it
had been lit by the spark.
" In default of a lamp, the common apparatus may be employed
which is used in laboratories for obtaining hydrogen gas. It is only
necessary to take care that the gas be let out by a very small open-
ing, in order that it may mix more completely with the air.

gee combine, and nitrous gas is decomposed 11 hydro-
gen at the common temperature by contact with plati-
num in the spongy state. The fine leaves of the same
metal do not produce the combustion of the first-men-
tioned gas; except at a temperature above 5/2 deg. F.
Gold leaf causes it also at a degree near the boiling of
mercury.
h Finally, olefiant gas mixed with a suitable quantity
of oxygen, is completely transformed into water and
carbonic acid by platinum in the spongy state, but only
at a temperature of more than 572 deg. F.
" We would call to mind on the subject of the pre-
ceding experiments, that one of us shewed, long since,
that iron, copper, gold, silver, and platinum, had the
property of decomposing ammonia at a certain tempe-
rature, without absorbing either of the principles of
that alkali I and that this property appeared inexhausti-1
ble. Iron possesses it in a higher degree than copper,
and copper more than silver, gold, and platinum, in
proportion to the surfaces.
" Ten grammes of iron wire are sufficient for decom-
posing/within a few hundredths, a current of ammo-
niacal gas rather rapid, and kept up for eight or ten
hours, without the temperature passing the limit at
niiich the ammonia completely resists decomposition.
Thrice that quantity of platinum wire of the same
thickness, doei not produce nearly a like effect even at
a higher temperature.
" The remarkable results of this experiment depend,
perhaps, on the same causes as those which snake gold
and silver effect the combination of hydrogen my, ozy-
gen at 6,2 deg. F. solid platinum at 518 deg. r. and
spongy platinum at the ordinary temperature.
" Now, if we observe that iron, which so well decom-
poses Ammonia, does not effect, or but with difficulty,
the combination of hydrogen with oxygen, and that
platinum, which is so effective for this latter combina-
tion, produces but with difficulty the decomposition of
ammonia, we are led to believe that among the gases
some have a, tendency to unite under the influence of
the metals, while others have a tendency to separate;
and that this property varies according to the nature of
each. Those of the metals which would best produce
the one effect would not produce the other, or but in a
less degree.
" We shall abstain from offering some further con-
jectures to which these singular phenomena give rise in
our minds, until we shall have terminated the uperi-
ments which we have undertakenin order to verify them."

MILLBANIiE PENITEWriARY.
!ROM VIZ LONDON MEDICAL RitPOSITORY.
We have just now received the Report from the Se-
lect Committee on the State of the Penitentiary at
Millbank, with the Minutes of Evidence given before
the Committee of the House of Commons, and at pre-
sent we would merely direct attention to the various
points of interest which it presents. The first object
which will engage the attention of the medical reader
is the nature of the disease which appeared amongst the-
prisoners confined in that place. Whatever difference
of opinion existed amongst those whose eviclence,ap-
pears in the Report, we think that there canistot be
much amongst those who will take a comprehensive
and an unprejudiced view of the subject. We pray re-,
gret that the opposing opinions of men of eminence in
the Profession should go abroad in the community in a
manner u hich cannot tend to elevate the medical cha-'i
racter, or to impress the Public generally with any fa'-,
vourable idea of our science or of our professional ethics.
We are sorry that a most able and deserving individual,
who has served his country for many years in one of the
most responsible offices attached to his profession, and
who, moreover, has had extensive experience kit the dis-,
ease which prevailed in the Penitentiary, should have
been deprived, from the commencement of its preva-
lence, of any management of the disorder, and subse.
quently of his office, particularly as the treatment
' which he recommended appears, from' the evidence of
the most experienced witnesses, to have been the best
which could have been adopted in the disease. We
Cannot, indeed, refrain from concluding, from the evi
dence contained in the Report, that Mr. Hutchison has
been very, and most undeservedly, ill-treated by the
leading members of the Committee of the Penitentiary.
He has not, and indeed cannot, as far as this business is
concerned, suffer in the eyes of the Profession: on the
contrary, we think that, as an eminent and deserving
brother, who has unjustly suffered, he will find protec-
tion there.

ANECDOTE OF LOUIS XVI.

TROUT THE LITERARY GAZETTE.

The following anecdote of Louis XVI. is in the second
volume of Barbier's Dictionary of Publications, which
have been either anonymous, or to which fictitious
names have been prefixed :
The third literary undertaking of Louis XVI. was a translation
of Gibbon's Decline awl Fall of the Roman Empire. After having
completed five volumes, the DAtiphin (which he then wu), not
wishing to be known, enjoined M. le Clerc de Sept-Chenes, his
private reader, to get them printed in his own name. M. le (3erc
de Sept-Chutes having requested M. le Garde-des.sceaux to ap-
point a censor for the work, it was sent to the Abbe Aubert, who
readied it with marked and distinguished approval. About two
years,afterwirds, M. le Comte de Vergennes, the Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, inquired for the censor of the work. The Abbe Au-
bert accordingly waited on the Minister, who, presenting him with
a copy bound in red morocco and gilt en the edges, said—" I atn,
desired by the translator to give you this copy, and to thank you for
the trouble which you took in examining his translation, and for
the approbation which you bestowed upon it." On the center's
observing that M. le Clete de Sept-Chenes might have dispensed
with so magnificent a binding, M. de Vergennes added—" It is the,
Dauphin who is the real translator, and who commissioned me to
make you this present."'—Of various anagrams contained in the
above-mentioned publication, one on Voltaire is curious, and calm.
lated to produce much difference of opinion-r" 0 elle sir."

Horse lieititis, 134.. 1894.
At a General Court Martial held at Corfu on the 27th
May, 1823, and continued by adjournments to the 31st
of the same month, Quartermaster REYNOLDS, of the
28th Regiment was arraignid upon the undermentioned
charge: viz.
• For conduct derogatory to the character of an °dicer, highly
kregular in his responsible situation of Quartermaster, and injurious
to the interests of the Service, in having procured from different
tradesmen, soldiers' necessaries: and other articles to the amount of
1645 lei. ld. er thereabouts • and in not having liquidated the
debts thus contracted, or settled with the respective tradesmen for
the articles furnished him, although he the said Quartermaster Rey-
nolds has long disposed of the greater part of the articles se pro-
cured by him."
Upon which charges the Court came to the following
decision :
"'The Court, after the most attentive consideration of the whole
of the proceedings on this Trial, is of opinion, that the prisoner,
Quartermaster Reynolds, Stith Regiment, is guilty of the Charge on
which he has been arraigned, in breach of the Articles of War, and
does therefore sentence him to be dismissed his Majesty's service.
—But it does appear by these proceedings that Quartermaster
Reynolds bas suffered considerable losses, and hap been grossly de-
ceived by a person to whom he entrusted several sums of money,
which, had be not so lost, might have enabled him to have liqui-
dated a great part of the claims against him ; in consideration of
this, and further, of his services of forty-six years, and a wife and.
family depending on him for subsistence, the Court does moat hum-
bly recommend him to the gracious consideration of his Majesty."
His MAJESTY has been pleased to approve and con-
firm the finding and sentence of the Court. But in
consequence of the very strong recommendation of the
prisoner, his Mugs?: has been induced so far to ez-
tend his gracious clemency to the prisoner, as to-coin.
mand that he, Quartermaster RzyunLos,shall be placed

Hine Guards, Oct. 10.

At a General Court Martial, held in Dublin on the

13th of August, 1823, and continued by adjournments
to the 15th of the same month, Paymaster WILLIAM
PHILLIPS, of the 40th Regiment, was arraigned upon
the undermentioned charges ; viz.
" Ist. For having erabeszled or fraudulently misapplied monies
entrysted him for the Public service, by withholdingkand detaining
in his hands the sum or balance of 2595 16s. ll id. or thereabouts,
appearing to be due by him on the foot of his accounts, as Pay-
manor of the 40th Regiment, with the Commissioners of Military
Accounts, from a period commenting on the 1.5 t& of November,
1820, and ending en the 94th March, 1822."
" 2d. For having embezzled or fraudulently misapplied several
sums of money entrusted to him for the public service, as Pay-
mager of the 40th Regiment, from a period commencing on the
25th December, 1821, and ending on the 24th April, 1822, leaving
at that time an unsettled balance on the foot of his accounts with
Messrs. Armit, Borough, and Co. Agents to the 40th Regiment,
amounting to the sum of 21,489 10s. 411. or thereabouts."
Upon which charges the Court came to the follow-
ing decision
" The Court having deliberately considered the evidence pro-
duced clothe part of the prosecution, as alio the plea of confession
put in by the prisoner to each of the chargei exhibited against him,
is of opinion that the prisoner, Paymaster Phillips, of the 40th Re-
giment, is guilty of the first charge.
" With respect to the second charge, the Court is of opinipn, that
the prisoner is guilty of having embezzled, or fraudulently misap-
plied several sums of money, entrusted to him for the public service
as Paymaster of the 40th Regiment, from a period commencing on
the 35th December, 1821, and ending on the 2401 April, 1822, leav-
ing at that time an unsettled balance on the foot of his accounts
With Messrs. Arndt, Borough, and Co. Arms to the 40th Regi-
ment, amounting to the suns of £1404. Os. 51d.
" The Court having thus found the prisoner guilty on both
charges preferred agidnst him, do sentence and adjudge him, the
said prisouer, Paymaster Phillips, of the 40th Regiment, to be dis-
missed his Majesty's service, and rendered incapable of ever serv-
ing his Majesty again in any capacity, civil or military, and that he
do snake good the sum of public money so embezzled and fraudu-
lently misapplied by him, amounting to the sum of 21,997. 17e...1.1."
His MAJIIBTY has been pleased to approve the find-
ing and sentence of 'the Court, but in consideration oil
the facts disclosed tei the Court in a statement made by
the prisoner, as to his former services, and tending to
shew that the defalcation in his accounts was caused in
some measure by untoward circumstances, and that he
was not chargeable with wilful and gross neglect,
much less with malversation in his office of Paymaster ;
and also in consideration of the opinion which appears
to have been entertained of him by some distinguished
Officers in his Majesty's service, his MAJESTY has been
further pleased so far to extend his gracious clemency
to the pi isoner, as to direct, that he Paymaster WILLIAM
PHILLIPS shall be placed upon half-pay.
