IHE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

In the STAR of yesterda/ we were enabled exclusively
to anticipate the reterns of the Quarter's Revenue, so far
as related to the Customs: We now present our Readers
With an Official Statement of the whole of the Revenue
for the Year and Quarles eliding on the .sth inst. The
increase has not only been great in the Customs, bat on
all the Taxes, which indicate commercial prosperity:
The increase in the Customs for the year is £1,009,317;
the Stamps have produced £1.54,068 more than the pre.
ceding year; the Post Office £28,000, and the Mis-
cellaneous Duties £774,660 more than the yea; 1822.
....The improvement of the Revenue in the last Quarter
is particularly sc. iking. The produce:of thearstoms, as
Compared with the corresponding Quarter of the pre-
ceding year, exhibits an increase of £447,107 ; the
Stamps, £105,823; the Post Office, £37,000; and the
Miscellanenits, £716,342. The deficiency is in those'
btauches of the Revenue where Taxes havebeenrepealed.
We have no room for comment, nor is it necessary.
To use the language of a respectable contemporary,
the British Press •
" TO resources of this great country are fast im-
proving; and the Continental Powers, who borrow mil-
lions from her capitalists, and yet affect to doubt the
power of Great Britain to strike with her former power-
ful arm iu the day of necessity or danger, will find
themselves deeply mistaken, should national security or
honour call on England again to arm for the fight.
The increasing prosperity of the country, in any way,
is always to us a source of unmingled gratulation ;—'
free from the prejudices of party we look at things as
they really are, and feel no pride in the character of
- -- augurs aicurst, for ever boding ill:

The political prophets of Paris will find themselves Woe-
fully out in theit reckoning, if they calculate on a want
of power in this country, to maintain her influence and
high reputation, by the full force of arms, whenever it
may be requisite to do so."

In a preceding page we have given a copy of a letter said to
bare been written by the Spanish Minister of Finances to M.
Cr[2ll.B.ltD, the Agent fur the incipient Loan to Spain, declaring
pretty positively the determination of FEIIDDIAND VII." who exists
only for his People," not to " purchase dishonour and ruin" by re.
cognizing the Loans to the Cortes. We confess we have peat
doubts of the authenticity of this letter, which is in all probability
a stock-jobbing fabrication. In the City it is not credited, but is
thought to be one of the manoeuvres Id. Gnsuusitta practices to
nyike his Loan be adapted. _ _ _

Our City Reporter speaks very confidently on the subject, and
says, " We know for certain that Messrs. RuTUSGUII4), BAILIN% and
Yasuo, have determined not to advance one penny to the Spanish
Government, unless they acknowledge the di Loan, and give
good security for the new one ; therefore, the present bad state of
the. Spanish finances must oblige them to acknowledge the old
Loin, or cause the Nation to become general bankrupts, as it is
well known that the Parisian capitaikstshave as good an opinion of
them as we have in this Country."

the expedition against the Pirates of Tontol has been

TRIAL OF I'HURTELL AWD HUNT.
Bit EXPRESS.
HERTFORD, MONDAY EVENING.
From the sombre appearance of the town, it would
not appear that any very strong excitement had been
created by the interesting trial that takes place to-mor-
row. To be sure, the Inquest at Shenley has attracted
a very large share of attention, and may, therefore, be
supposed to divide public interest with the approaching
trial. Yet there is not that inquisitiveness amongst the
strangers and inhabitants here, which one would sup-
pose to exist at the eve of a trial which has been
bruited from one end of the country to the other, with
rthe most sedulous industry, by the press and other
channels of public .communication. The attendance
to-morrow is expected to- be very full, and the same
difficulty prevails as to the obtaining of tickets for the
.Court-ho Use. There has been .very little alteration in
tfie manner and deportment of the prisoners. Thurtell
'cOntinues to the present moment as resolute; firm, and
{unbending, as he has been since the period of his com-
mitment. He relies with confidence on the 'esiablish-.
meat of his perfect innocence at the trial, and, indeeci,
his confidence is apparently so. great, that apprehen-
sicms are now entertained, that should he be convicted
at the trial, he may anticipate execution by a fatal
lett of self-despair. Neither of his Solicitors have, as
yet (four o'clock), arrived, and he naturally expressei
much anxiety and surprise, at their protracted absence.
Air. Jay has been here only once, and Mr. Fenton
twice, for a short time at each visit, since the postpone-
ment of the trial last month. On the great fight be-
tween Spring and Langan being mentioned to him, he
said, " he once took an interest .in those matters, and
would wish that he was as safely over his trial as he
was sure Spring would be over his affair with Langan.'
The same self-possession characterises his whore de-
meanour ; and whatever may be thkresult of the trial,
be appears at least to contemplate. it with indifference,
and every act and word of his bespeak him to be-a man
that d, has a heart for any fate." Hunt contintiesots
hitherto, at intervals betriying syMptcims of fear.ittsi
again re-assuming con6deace in the compromise laic;
which he alleges he has • catered with Governmeat.
Mr. Harmer, the Solicitor, W the only person who has
visited sr inquired after him since his committal. Mr.
Harmer is not at.preseciltere,"lintliespeeted this even-
ing. It is true that' Hunt- *sang several songs-0 The

he be brought to triaL As to the Coroner's-Inquest. he
expects a verdict of murder will be returneii against
him, but he does not seem to attach much importance
to the verdict, should it even be so. ,He has-frequently
inquired after the manner in which the arm-of the un-
fortunate Grainge was amputated. He asserts that his
death is attributable to the unskilfulness of his medical
attendants, and expresses confidently that if he had t;n-
dertaken the amputation, his life would have hien saved,

Breakfast has been ordered in the Town Hall for the
prisoners, from the Half-moon Inn. The High Sheriff
dines thilday with the Sub-Sheriff. Mr. Justice Park
does not arrive until this evening from London.;‘and the
trial commences precisely at eight o'clock in the morning.
HERTIORD, Tuesday Morning, Half-oast Sis.

The interest excited on the present occasion, seems
quite as great as on the last—indeed greater, consider-
ing that there is but the single case of Thurtell and his
companions for trial. The arrivals during the whole of
last night, of post•chaises, gigs, horsemen, &c. and to
this hour, have been very numerous. Already the doors
of the Court are besieged by an anxious crowd, and

the town is all astir.
The confidence with which Thurtell continues to

conduct himself, is the theme of everybody's c.onver.,
sation ; and it is, by all accounts, not an affected confi-
dence. The case is different with Hunt, whose affec-

tation of an ease which be does not feel. is described as
very obvious.

Half-past Seven.
The arrangements made for the accommodation of
the Reporters from the Public Press have this time been
singularly defective.. Oa their ends of admission they
were directed to "apply at the private door;" buron
applying there it is found that no instructionsifor. their
' admission have been given, and the door is irsow tort
rounded by a crowd of " Gentlemen of the Preis"' impi-
tient to be admitted to perform their duty'io the Public.
A carriage has this moment driven up to ptieuti
door, from which, themalighted the. Eari.of Errol and
Captain Fitzclasence, who, forcing their way through
the crowd of Reporters, obtained admittance. This was
not effected without a considerable exertion' of force ou
the part of these Gentlemen, and there 'were loitd com-
plaints against them (or their rudeness. The Repotter
of the Times said he bad been• almostAnaked by one
of them ; but that he would paragraph hid by .74
and a chocking parairapb it should be. • •

• THE TRIAL
At eight, o'clock precisely, the Learned Judge (Ms:.
Jottist,PAßK)., entered the Court ; and Wein -having
beca obtained, his Lordshipsobseived, he hiii!Cnoiv re../
peat what he bad said on the commenceakt a! ire,-

eeedings On a former day, with respect to persons in
the galleries—all theispectaion that part of tlle,
Court, who had seat 4 must sit down, otherwise they
must withdraw, as persons standing up very much
increased the heat of 'she Court, *ad not only rendered
it excessive, but intolerable and' unbearable.
The order thus peremptorily promulgated -by ti
Learned Judge, every one immediately obeyed.
At this period of the proceedings it was announces

his Lordship, that Mr. Fenton, acrd the Solicitori for the
prisoners were withoutside the doors, and could not gain
admission on account of the pressure round them.
His Lordship, on hearing this, directed the High
Sheriff to see they were immediately•admitted. The'
way was accordingly cleared, and on Mr. Jay entering
the Court, his Lordship addressed him in a sharp tone
saying,":, Why were you not in Court before, Sir? TU
ought to have been here by seven o'clock."
The prisoners were soon after placed at the bar,
Probert in the centre, THbrtell on his left hand, and
Hunt on his right. They were dressed as when last be_
fort the Court, and no perceptible alteration has taken'
place in their personal appearance.
Mr. TIIESSIGER, as Counsel for Hunt, then tendered
to the Court an affidavit sworn by' his client, containing
an application to the Court for its interference to pre-
vent his being forced on 'his trial, .and claiming to be
admitted an evidence for the • Crown, on the ground
of the hopA held out to him by Mr. Noel.? -the Soli-
citor far the prosecution, when .before the Magistrates,
to induce him to make a confession of all the Ciictili-'
stances within his knowledge, relative to the murder
-of
Mr. Weare, and the concealment of the body. • This
affidavit was sworn by the, prisoner in Court, and then
read by Mr. Knapp, and set--foi•th all the leading facti

could, in his- opinion, be construed
,into
,a breach--
'of
faith on the part of the Magistrates. . .
' During the reading of tire -affidavits there was much
-confrusion'iu the gallery, and his Lordship directed that
oue of the: persons most prominent in creating that dis-
turbance should be brought before him.
'The Sheriff's officers soon afterwards brought forward
a person namedarosier, a shoemaker, residing in Hen-
it'otd, and.biSLordihip directed that be should stand
.. ..
nommlited for the present. •
- Mr, GURNZIG after quiet had been restored, submitted
that; on the face of thew affidavits, it was plain that
Hunt's confession bad not in any degree been full and
satisfactory-; and, secondly, that the Magistrates had
lot power to make, any, such promise as that of which
the prisonennow,claimed-to have the benefit.
Mr. TIIESSIGER, on the Other hand, contended that the
Magistrates itad.a-right, on the disclosure of any fact
which they alight consider necessary to promote the ends
of justice, to make to the person through .whom the dis-
closure came, such acianditional promise as now claimed
by the priipner;lfistordship had recently laid, it dosin
that no protecution.for. murder could be' sustained un-
less the body of the person supposed:la .be murdered

was found. Id 'ease, had it not been for

never have bsen found,„anA.Withckut that information

And, a conditional promiserviin.gioen, .he would male

isooar.to the, benefit of that. proMisr. It
was perhaps thee, that .Hunt had not made a NA con-
fessiou. of *ache tirennistaneers. hdt this might-be-ac-
-counted for, by the con't.ued state of his naitl,l,-a-nci; as

soon as he recollected any circumstances Omitted, 1:e
sent for the Magistrates, or Mr. Noel, to conimaiikite
them. His Lordship would be aware of the public mis.
representation which had gone abroad on this sibject.

was kept in cases like the present 'nasty tiajimei .of the
highest magnitude must escape unpunished fcie
proof: the Learned Counsel cited thecate Of Mrs.. Rudd,
alone in point, and submitted that Probert...having
been admitted an evidence, Hunt was entitled tq a s;i
miler indulgence, and indeed bad a stronger.- clabkfor
that favour. . .
His LORDSHIP said, although this point had been ?non
ably argued, yet he could not consider that k at all ap7
plied to the present case, as before him, asit'isoogit it
might be ground of application for mercy to the c,rovrc.
That application wis still open to the prisoner.. .Mrs.
Rudd's case had been cited. Mrs. ltudd was put apon
her trial, and it was not a case in point, He did riot
blame the Magistrates for the course which they bad
hadopted: they had, no doubt, acted for the best.—
Hut here was a person interfering' in this case} a person

to !Wake confessions ; but those promises so made to a

The Court then promulgated an order that all the

Mr. GVRWIT then rose' to address the Jury, the case
baring been opened by Mr. Brodrick.—The Learned
Counsel said he !lid now to Oil the attention of the'
Jury to a case of the greatest importance—to try the
•prisoners on a charge of the greatest magnitude. It
was one of the mast important circumstances to the

Public, that crime should be punished ; but it was
equally important, that the innocent should not suffer
Frith or for the guilty. To gttard against such a result,
the la* of England had been most..careful, and with
that- vie* it was, that the inquiry before a Coroner's
Jury, that before a Grand Jury, and finally that before
sucha Jury as he was now addressing, were-cOnsidered
as neces;try before a man could be found guilty. • The
prisoners at the bar 'were charged with. 1111 offence-of
the greatest magnitude. One was charged as the prin-
cipal and the Other as an accessary in the commission
of murder. He would not desire the Jury to find a ver-
dict of guilty in such a case but on the most satisfac-
tory evidence; but there should be evidence .sufficient
to satisfy the minds of jhe Jttry of the guilt_ of the nri-
Soners; they would not hesitate to ited vierdict of

the Jury would of course look with iconsiderable cau-
tion. Having said thus much be Wistrld pry:o6lo'S*
the fact' of the case. TheLeareed Contra then pro.
ceeded to state who the parties. wefe, and %heir several
occupations, and here the Jury would recollect that
they were not called on to consider sthethet the cha-
racter:of the deceased was good or bad, but whether a
murder had been committed. The Learned Gentleman
meted into a detail of the particulars belonging to
Gill's-03 Cottage, and the family of Probert, resident
there, on the 24th of October last, on which day the
murder of Mr. Weare took place. He entered into a
history of the conduct of Tbortell and Hunt for several
days previous to the:murder,and detailed it in-the same
terms as those contained in the evidence already before
the Public she narrated the intimacy betteeen the parties
row charged with murder, and Weare, and their con-
nexion with Rexworthy; the visit of Weare to Rex-
worthy previous to going into Hertfordshire, as he said,

towards Gill's-hill, Martell did arrive at Probert's
cottage about nine o'clock in the evening, and that
he hid in the chaise a dotible-barrel gun, a back-
gammon board, and several other articles, the property
^f the deceased. He should afterwards shew the arri-

val of hunt at Probert's cottage, who. previous to that
time bad been a stranger there—he should spew them
going out together, under pretence of calling on a person
named Nichols—their return with the body of a man
tied up a sack, which body was thrown into a, pond.

• Tlil CASE OF CONNOLLY.
•
The following case, furnished by a Correspondent,
seems a parallel to a late unfortunate occurrence:
coop's CASE.—CRO. CAR. 537.
Conk was indicted for the murder of Marshall. Upon,
his arraignment, pleading Not Guilty, it was found that
Marshall was a bailiff to the Sheriff of -, and had
several warrants upon several capiss ad satisfaciend.
against the said Cook and his father, directed unto him
and other bailiffs; and that they, by virtue thereof, en-
tered into the said Cook's stable and outhouse, and hid
themselves there all night: and at eight of the clock
next morning, came to Cook's dwelling-house, a
called upon him to open his doors and suffer them to enter,
because they had such warrants upon such writs, at the
suit of such persons, to arrest him, and willed him to
obey them. But the said Cbok commanded them to
depart, telling them that they-should not enter, and
thereupon they brake a window, and afterwards came
unto the door of the said house, and offered to force
that open, and brake one of the hinges thereof.;--
Whereupon thc said Cook discharged his musquet at
the said Marshall, and stroke him, of which stroke the
day following he died. And whether upon all this
'matter, heti guilty of murder or of manslaughter, was
the doubt.. And it was now argued by Rolls, for Cook,

COURT OF. KINOIS BIL*CH, DECEMBER 5.
dintlllol v. WRITE.
,•cr.
mr. k,AMPRIZI. Opened the pleadings, and stated the
Vast *rani absence oiMr. likkaaustz. The plaindif is
a respectable merchant in London, who having imported
a quantity of whiskey (tom Canada, employed the de-
fend.ant as his broker, to sell the same.
This action was for negligence; the defendant •on a
former trial hiving deposed that he did not think he had
authority from Coates to make out the sale to him, by
which the plaintiff lost his verdict against Coates; and
this
_action, therefore, was to recover, not only the &-
Tags but the costs of the action brought against Coates.
On the evidence being gone through, in which no
noSelty of importance occurred,
The LoRD CRUM JUSTICE observed, that this having
been the first importation of Canadian whiskey, there
could be-no established usage—therefore it was incum-
bent on the deferitrint to have set forth the terms the
more explicitly in the contract. Exclusive of the loss
on the re-sale, the costs were 1921. The less on the re-
sale 12,206 gallons. His Lordship thought this question
was one of much.importance to the
.City of London,
whether a broker shall make a contract other than that
which shall bind the parties to it ; and afterwards him-
self prove he was not authorized by one party to make
the Contract in such terms as stated. The Jury would
say, without any reflection being implied as affecting
the integrity of the defendant, whether he did not in
the hurry of business, make this contract for Mr.
O'Brien, the plaintiff, in such a negligent manner, as to
have made himself liable for the damage sustained by
his principal? - Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages
3561. 7s. 10d. and costs.
MESSRS. LATHAM AND CO. V. MESSRS. nUTLEY AND Co

The plaintiffs are bankers at Dover, and the defen-
dants proprietors of the Dover Union waggon. The
defendants were in the habit of bringing up to town and
taking down to Dover, parcel! of the plaintiffs' notes
weekly, for which they received one guinea per week.
They had an iron chest fixed in the front of the waggon
for .this special purpose. On the 16th of May, 1800,
Messrs. Hoare, Barnet, and Co. the town correspon-
dents and bankers of Messrs Latham, sent a paper parcel
containing 1,3401. of paid notes belonging to the latter,
to the office of Merrs. Butley, to be forwarded, as usual,
by their waggon to Dover. The parcel, was deposited
in a desk in the office, by the clerk. The office opened
to the yard, and it appeared that the clerk having gone
out for a few minutes, he found on his return that the
desk was broken open and the parcel- taken aivay. This
action was btought to recover the arnounr; 'upon the
ground that although the defendants did not undertake
against fire and robbery by superior force, yet that they
mutt be considered in the light of insurers, on account
of their having entered into a contract-to deliver. the
parcels both up and down for the consideration of one,
guinea per week. It was-also questionable, whether the
robbery had been committed by superior force, or by
any force At all, as the police-offiter who esamined,the
rdesk after the robbery saw. no marks of
.violeqcp pion it.'
After going through a patt of the evidence far the
plaintiffs, which was, extremely. unconnected. end can•
fused in consequence of the death of the principal, wit-
ness, who entered the notes-before they were tear to
Messrs. Butleys'office, s verdict was taken for the plain-
.
tiffs by consent.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Last night a new dramatic piece, in four lets, was produced at
this Theatre, entitled Einiltasethr or, The Days of Goat Queen
Bess, founded on the Novel of that name, much of the text of
'which is retained In the Drama. Poetical justice has been more
strictly administered' in the Drama than in the original, Jsy the
substitution of Varney for the Countess of Leicester in the catastrophe.
Among the most striking scenes is that in which the Queen iss•
sists on the reconciliation between Leicester and Sussex. Mrs. aunts
who performed the character of Elizabeth, sustained it with con.
siderable power, and never seemed to forget the attachment of the
virgin Queen to prerogative. Her whole deportment indicated, at
least, the authcrity which belongsto a crowned head. Another very
effective scene, was that In which Anthony Foster (Mr. Taney)
presents the poisoned cup to the Countess of. 1-4 c-ester (M
Weer.) His first advance, betraying all the tremulous
of spilt, was finely contrasted by the calm attention of the Countess,
who quickly suspected his design, and the interposition of his
`datighter June (Miss S. Boom), who offered to drink, on the Rai'
rural conclusion, that what was good for her mistress could not be
injurious to her, completed the interest. The father snatched the
cup,. dashed it to the ground, and confessed Ids guilt. The
of the Countess subsequently prepared another situation of Imre:del
interest, which was the meeting with her Lord at Kenilworth, after
the artifice of Varru;y had succeeded in representing her as his
wife. Mr. War.tamt' who performed the -kiwi of Leicester, ac-
quitted himself with dignity; "and 'Mr. Ancuza, in -litiehasnt
Varney, appeared to at least es much advantage as• he bad ever
done before. Mr. Ilmarr bad a character which gave hint but
little to do, yet that litileledid with his usual vivacity and success.
He sung a few comic soap ; 'they were well received. The prin-
cipal character is certainly that of Queen Elizabeth, whose domi-
neering spirit absorbed the' interest in all the scenel 'in which
the appears. Mrs. Wise, knwever, imparted considerable pathos
to the sufferings of the unhippy dungen. Mr. PENLEY was effec-
tive in Tressilian, and Ilk. Gerrie, as Nicholas. 131ount, strutted
about in his mock finery to the amusement of the beho:ders. After
the dramatic part of the pieee concluded, and the interest was at
an end, the curtain rose tiPori—the'pegotor which was certainly
splendid, but did not add to thrArarawier.oethe piece, or the gra-
tification of the audience. The piece was, however, u!tagether solry
sucCesiful, and was announced Iclr tifitititin this e%euipg. The
House was very full. .1 4 " • •

LOSS OF THE ARAB SLOOP OF WAR.
" Eillybegs, Dec/ 2ti,
" From the 11th to 14th instant it Mew a tremendous gale—f
was fortunate enough to get Shelter in Broadhaven. On the 15th,
as Brent out, I perceived that torne'vessel had been wrecked, but
from the state of the westher,•and the heavy sea, was not enabled
to make out who or what she was; and net until the tl.:tb,.`when L
was off the same part of the coast again, I was infcrined, antLtsiw,
a part of a ship's magazine,. with the name Arab' marked on it,
which was picked up, and lift no doubt on my mind that it was
his Majesty's ship_Artau—and from every account 1 could procure,
am induced to believe that every person on board had perished,
particularly as none of her crew, or any other shipwrecked persone,
had arrived at or near 13roadbaven." •
Admiral Lord Covent.; the Commander-In-Chief on that station,
issued an order for the Captain,.Officers, and the whols.of the Gen-
tlemen on the quarter-deck of bis ship, the Ssxtn.►ws, to go into
mourning on the occasion, fur a month, which commenced on We
S.Sth ultimo.
The Alt All mounted IS guns, and was commanded by Captain
W. Histrars. The loss of this ship has produced very general and
poignant grief in Cove and its vicinity, fur she was so lung on this
station that most of the crew became connected with many families
in that neighbourhood. •

squalls. She, in consequence of the badness of the weather, beat
up towards the Park, to gain an anchorage, and at sun-set anchored
or Bognor with her small bower, and veered 220 fathoms of chain
cable, it then blowing a heavy gale. At ten o'clock it freshened to
a perfect hurricane, and at eleven, In a violent squall, she parted.
The best boWer was immediately let go, and two cables (hemp)
veered, when she brought up in four fathoms; in the morning the
gale moderated., In getting under weigh at day-light, to return to
Spithead, it was ascertained Oat the small bower anchor had
parted near the stock; and the best bower cable was stranded in
three places.

THE LATE FAT*AL OCCURRENCE.

surxtriqtal; "boar s.
Subscriptions, we hear, have been made in Ate neigh-
bourhood, for the widow of James Grainge,•on whose
body the present Inquest is held. • .
• Mr. Noel, the Solicitor on the part of Mrs. Brown and
Connolly, has intimated that he will bring an action for,
the trespass committed on the premises of the former
on Wednesday.
A Solicitor (Mr. Mincham), from town, was admitted
this morning to act for Mr. Connolly. He was accent-
'ponied by the brother of the latter. •
INQOUT ON THE BODY OF .IAIKES OBAlsrote.
' Previous to entering into the evidence the Coroner
wished to exculpate himself from a charge which had
been alleged against him, of saying he did not care a
farthing for Mr. Justice Park. He had been informed
by his Clerk, that after he left the room Mr. Mason, the
Magistrate, had made such a charge against him ; this
he positively denied ; and confidently asserted that no
man had a right to bring forward such a charge.
Mr. Watson, of Great Suffolk-street, London, was
then sworn, and was proceeding to state the particulars
cf the entry, as before detailed, when
Mr. Stephen observed,-that the examination of the
witness was furnishing evidence to Mr. Noel for the sup-
port of the action or indictment against those whom he
defended, and who might be the person under exami-
nation; he therefore objected to the presence of Mr. Noel
cr any other person except the Coroner and-the Jury.
• Mr. Noel replied, that he should certainly bow to the
decision of the Coroner, but could not do so without
stating that he saw no rational grounds-for the protest
of Mr. Stephen.
The CORONER thought, that being ignorant of any
future purpose of any of the parties-, the Jury and him-
self had only to prosecute the present inquiry.
After some further angry conversation, in which some
reflections were endeavoured to be cast on the witness,
but from which he was exculpated by all in the room,
except by the, individual who attempted to hurt his
feelings, be was permitted to withdraw ; and W. Gray
Cannon was sworn, who stated as follows:—On the 30th
of December issued a ca. so. by direction of Mr. Ste-
ehert. for 5361. 'against P. Connolly ; on the followiug
morning, accompanied by.Mr.Dignum and Thomas Wa-
tson, I ptoceeded to Hertford, where I obtained a warrant,
directed to Thomas Watson ; on arriving near Rabley
House, we alighted from the chaise; Mr. Dignum
crossed the fields towards the but of the house—Wat-
son *walked right up to the house, followed by witness
as far at the outer gate—after waiting there for about
a minute, witness returned, and stated the result of the
inq,niry, as detailed in the evidence of the last witness;
lan' Moran retching them, who on seeing that he was
obierved, withdrew ; followed him with Watson ; in-
glared of him if Captain Nestor was at home ? he an-
swered in the 'negative, and said that he did not know
whether he was in England or Ireland ; asked to see
Brown ; went to the back of the house wi:h Wat-
son, and foul:d the folding doors leading_into the house
open ; an inner door was shut. Mrs. BTOWlticame to
:t, and, without opening it, asked why they wished to
see her ? told her they had. been informed that Captain
"Rester bad a horse at the Bazaar for sale; she said
- she li.elew nothing about it ; that she was an unpro:
tlsct*h woman, and • had the house and all the furniture
_ emit* her Gale. Watson told her he had came from Mr.
Chatles James, of Regent-street, to inform Mr. Patrick
Connolly that, in consequence of an occurrence in
I;s*family, his ptcsence was indispensably necessary.—
Mrs. Brown said he was tut there; neither did she
*•.ow snch a person. Watson *replied, that was strange,
. as the funnily in Regent-street had told him that Mr.
Conno;ly w as at Rabley-house ; she said she hardly knew
(he—family in .Regent-street, as she had only visited
them• Once or twice. Watson then told her that he was
aiitiag's officer, and had a warrant against P. Connolly;
he then requested her to open the door ; she said Con-
roily was not there, and that she did not know him ;
at this moment witness caoght a glimpse of Connolly
and raid-to Watson, " there he is; it ?night be about
half-past three o'clock ; Watson asked if lie should break
ofen the door? I said, " Do sio, by all means." Watson,
o:en kicked it, by which a pane of glass in the upper
part of it was broken. • Connolly immediately rushed
up to the door, and called to the servant to bring the
sPit She did se, and give it him; he brandished it about,
andswere, 46. By the Holy J—s be would run it into
the g—sof the first person that offered to arrest himf
Mcprinolly then called out," Bring up the men." Hugh
oran and Edward Trayers then came to -the door
from' the direction of the stablelard ; he told them
to-fetch the pitchforks; they went away, and imme-
diately returned, each with a fork ; told them to give
him one through the broken pane; 'thinks it was
Trayers who did so. Connolly called out,' These are
d—d rascally Sheriffs officers come to irrest me;
ci—n them, run your pitchforks Into their bl—y
g-.=4;" Trayers put himself in the attitude to charge
—Watson at this time had his foot upon the step.
Connolly thrust a pitchfork at him through the win-
dow ; Watson stepped back, saying. " He has wounded
roc in the side." He answered, ID—n you, I wish
had killed yen!" Witness hailed Pignum, who came
tip, and when he got to the door, Carnally thrust at,
l:itn ; he. immediately drew •baek, and said he was
wounded; Fudd him to go for assistance, and he went;
•Ccnnolly told Moran to go to Mr. B:el tllolotnew's, and
.tsk him for his gun, and to by sure ;tip bring itloaded;
Connolly then said to witness and *Watson he'd soon
▪ send an ounce of leadinto-such a d—d set of stamping
rascals, adding—" I'll shoot Six -Meer rather than be
taken." Wanes; followedMoran,`-tor the purpose' of
-cautioning Bartholomew not to lend the gun. , Ai be
tot to the gate' he met Moran coming out.; -he said—
"lt won't do, arts% got it (meaning -the gun}; they.
.returned't6 ltabley House; kveut to the front; Moran
came near witness, and slowed him,a handful of bullets
and slugs, and, rattling them, said, " Look here, there's
'plenty of lead for you." in two or three minutes Trayers
came round to him with a. pitchfork, and said," You'd

threw up the sash, and presenting the-guns said, "
will shoot any man that attempts to arrestame,.-as I
value my liberty too highly to be taken." 'Watson said,
You can't intimidate me, Mr. Connolly, I am • not to
be deterred from the execution of my duty." Connolly
replied, •' Sy the Holy Saviour of the world; t will
-shoot you dead if you don't instantly quit the premises."
Mrs. Brown and 'the maid servant were also at the
window; the former said, " and I have got a pistol,
and if his fire don't take effect I will shoot they." Wit-
ness told her she made herself a party to the illegal
conduct of Connolly by using such language; witness
did not see the pistol ; returned with Watson into the
house, and at a short distance met with a posse of con-
stables, one of whom said Captain Hearn (Foreman of.
the Jury, and who is also a Magistrate) having heard
that a dreadful accident had happened; had sent them ;
witness led them round. to the. back of the houie,
and told them of the assault that had been committed,
ern Watson and Dignum: The latter did not say at
the time where he was wounded; has since learnt it
was slightly in the thumb. Witness then directed
them to break into the house. Connolly appear-
ing at the same Window, said, if you do, by G-41,-
ra shoot you. The Magistrate's warrant had not at
that time been obtained. Before this I had Seel) Con-
nolly at one of the front windows, when he spewed me
a powder flask, a gob, and some bullets, saying, " I've
plenty of ammunition, and put .sorhe lead into
you before I've done." The men, on being ordered tot
-force the door, hesitate& Connolly came forward to,
the window, and spoke to the men, telling ,them the•
circumstances under which the Mention had been-ob-
tained, and that witness was a d—d blaCkguard of
an attorney's clerk. He also said he would give them a,
guinea each to retire. The men then left the premises,'
and Dignum arriving, witness told him to come with,
him to the nearest Magistrate, and get a warrant fora
the assault; went to Mr. Winter, who sent to -John
Grainge, the constable, to tome With his brother
and ether assistants, for the purpose of executing We.
warrant—they came, acid James Grainge was sworn in
specially—the Magistrate furnished him with an axe;
they then proceeded to the house : on reaching the house
James Grainge demanded admittance ; the Magistrate
had given the warrant to James Grainge; believes it was
directed to his brother John ; Mr. Winter did not give
any further directions : Connolly asked who was at the
door P Grainge raid, " the constable of Shenley-hill ;,"
thinks it,was stated by MreDignum to the Magistrate,
that it would probably be necessary to break into-the
house ; Grainge added; " I have a Magistrate's warrant
for the apprehension of Patrick Connolly, and request
that the door may be opened that I may be able to cake
him." Connolly replied, 4' It sliall,not ; and if you. at-
tempt to take me, All shoot you r ermine answered,
l! I hope not so ; don't be rash ; govern your passion ;"
did not hear -the-voices of any other persons • inside ;
Connolly 'said, " shoot you by-O—deif -you attempt
to take me.""*Grainge said, " pray don't, I am a waste-
ble, and have a Magistrate's warrant, and hope you'll
open the door for me." CMtbellyakerplied, "I will east."
Grainge said," if you.won'r,Sir,l really,mustbreak °nen

—lt was then cc mpletely dark ;.Grarugetbett 'began. to
batter the door with an ase ; seves-al :apertures were
soon made in the upper parts of it; through one of these
the gun was discharged from within the house; I couls;
not see by whom the gun was pointed, nor in what di-
rection ; I was close to the door. Grainge said "My
arm is shot off." He dropped the axe, and reeled off
*the step ; I then, with others, assisted in bringing •
him into the lane; in about ten minutes 'another gun
was fired ; a little time afterwards I heard some one call
out for the officer ; this was Mrs. Brown, who said. Con-
nolly had escaped, and begged we would withdraw the
men; settle time afterwards; having sent-for more as-
sistance, I went again to the-door; when I knocked at
the dots' Mrs. Brown asked who was there ? I-answered,
' and said that I bad a warrant to apprehend 'Patrick
Connolly ; I got this warrant from "the pocket of
Grainge, after lie bad been shot; I informed her that,
this warrant was for an assault committed, and that in
the execution of it -a capital felony had been commies
led, urging her at the same time to open the door,
that he might be sestned ; she said she coeld not open
the door, and that Mr. Patrick Connolly hail escaped.
I told her we would force the door open: she answered
it would be useless to attempt to take-Mr. Ctemolly;
that he was a desperate man, and would resist 'to- the
last; Mr. Newcomb, the Magistrate, then recommended
her to open the door, and said, that if necessary, the
whole force of the calmly Could be raised; Mrs. Brown
replied, that she would speak to Mr. Connolly, and en-
deavour to prevail upon him to .urrcritler ; but' that be
had a gun and powder and shot, and she knevrit would
be useless; shortly afterwards she came to the door,
and said that Mr. Connolly would surrender, but to no
other person than Mr. Newcomb, and that he alone was
to, enter the house; I told Mrs. Brown to open the
doore -she did so, and I and Mr. Watson entered the
house followed by Mr. Newcomb ; Connolly instantly
came down stairs, and surrendered himself; Propstriug
having by then art ived, was sent over the house tavice,
for Moran; I went with hime and ire found a gun in 1
the cockloft, and gave it to me ; I found it was prattled,'
and at half-cock ; I shook out the priming, and it then
appeared as having been recently discharged ; I ex-
amined the barrel, and about three inches- from the
muzzle found a ballet; I brought the gun .devrie
and delivered it to Mr. Newtomb ; 'soon afteri Moran
was brought in in custody, and the prismsers were then
taken to the house orMr. Winter, where thehieposi-
dons were taken. •
, .
Mr. Watson was then- ir Wed in, -und resumed'
his deposition.—.l urgentri; Btbsvn by etery means in
my power to let me in.- She reThsed, and said she had
received an express from Mr. Noel, the Solicitor, and
he had apprised her of what was going to happen. I
read it The

Sn;
!said he was glad he had wounded him, and wished he
!had killed him. He, thrust at him several times, and
called him b—y thief. He did >tll he could to soothe
,him, but in vain, and told him-his vests his prisoner.--
Moran appeared with along—knife in his hand, and
went in through the cellar window. Trayers threatened
to take his life with a pitchfork if he did not go. The,
;remainder of this witness's testimony went to prove the
violence of. Connolly's behaviour, and to corroborate
what had been stated by the witness Cannon.
James Dignam stated that he teas a Solicitor, and
had gone at the request of Mr. Stephens to identify
Mr. Connolly, whose person he knew. He corroborated
the evidence of the other witnesses as to the part he took
in the transaction. Connolly upon seeing him, greatly
abused him, and offered to fight.
MI:. Noel here entered the room, and stated that he
could inform the Coroner and the Jury that the person
who informed Mrs. Brown of what was going to hap-
pen, was a person sent down by Mr.Dignum, to pre-
sent a hundred pounds bill of exchange to facilitate an
act of bankruptcy on the part of Mr. Connolly. lie
then presented a. paper. containing Mrs. Brown's state-
ment to.the same effect. „ • r
Mr. Step k.
heus appealed to the protection of the orer.
ner agsiost.the insults of Mr. Noel.
Mr.-Noel =Wit was not be who had offeredtlie insult.
The•Coltosiza put• a stop to this conversatiepo aufkl
Mr. Noel was allowed to remain in the rootr'•
' At five o'clock the Coroner .read over the evidenCe.,
making such observations as seemed reqUisite to lead
the minds of the Jury upon the question-0f law involved
in the case. He observed that malice was implied by
the law in an act of this kind; and lithe eiidence-sitts-
ffied them of the fact, a verdict of murder must be re-
'corded. The parties were Patrick .Conh011y; High
:Moi an, -Edward Trayers„ Eli z. Brown, ' and 44thelia,
Morgan. They s; ere in custody, and fie had
ing heard,lolly committed for trial. But. that had
nothing to do with the verdict.Xbey would distinguish
between principals and aceeisaries.. He begged, for fin
own part, to express his regret so aeon to. be called on
again, in the same neighbotulsobet.to investigate a case
of murder.
After a consultation of an trues ducatioN in a pti.
tate room the Jurrretnraed, and give in their verdict
