MURDER NEAVYLESBURY.
Yesterday, at an early boor in the morning, an inves-
tigation took plait before Colonel BrowrOhe Rte. Mr.
Owen, the Rev. C. A. Aitidelct, and the Rev. Mr. TUr-
ner, at the Town Hall of Alylesbdry, to inquire into
the circumstances attending the death of Wm. Morris,
who was killed on Saturday evening, at the village of
Ashton Clinton, between the towns of A ylesbury and
Tring, in Buckinghamshire. Three men, named John
Allen, Thos. lteeves, and Thomas Collyer, were appre-
hended immediately after the murder, and were pri-
vately exaniined on Monday, before Sir J. Dashwocrd
King, and remanded until yesterday, when a public
examination was taken, and the fcllowing facts ad.
duced. The deceased was the son of a respectable far=
mer at Ashton, and assisted in the management•of his
father's farm.
The men in custody are straw-dressers. and worked in the village.
- Joseph Thorn stated, that on Sunday morning last,
about two o'clock, he was informed by, his brother-in-
law that a murder had been committed, but he did not
leave the house. About seven o'clock he heard that A
man named Lutman lost a hedge-rail, and with others
proceeded to J. Nicholls's, and found it—(The rail was
here produced, and had marks of blood upon it).-4t
was lying within the hedge, close to the road-side. The
garden •in which it was found, is within a short dis-
tance of where the murder was perpetr aced. Witness
delivered up the rail to John Holder, the constable.
William Reeves stated, that on Saturday evening last
he was in she company of the deceased Morris and his
brother, at the sign of the Duke's Head, near Buck-
laud, until about half-past ten o'clock. Witness accom-
panied the deceased and his brother, and observed the
three persons, one of whom is his brother-in-law, try-
ing to get into a public-house in Greening-street, at
Ashton Clinton ; they were, however refused. Collyer
and Allen proceeded towards Allen's house, followed
by his (witness's) brother. Witness and Morris followed
them; when his (witness's) brother, observing that they
were followed, turned round, and said that he (witness)
and Morris deserved a drubbing. Witness's brothel-
' then went away, and Allen went down; he' returned
with a rail in his band, and said, 66 I'll end it." He
then made a thrust at witness, who -parried off the blow
with a spade. The deceased, who was immediately be-
hind witness, was then struck at by Allen, who made
a blow at his head. Witness's brother joined him, and
attempted to take the spade from him. Allen then
struck the deceased a blow on the head, and knocked
him down. Collyer and Allen then began beating wit-
ness, who cried out for mercy. After which they left
him, and went away together. Witness, after their de-
parture, crawled to where the deceased was lying, and
in feeling for his body, it being very dark, witness thrust
his fingers into a wound at the back of his head. The
deceased appeared to be quite dead. Witness then.went
to Allen's house, and saw Collyer standing by the door
of. Morris's house. Witness said, " the man is dead;
his skull is split; Allen has killed him, and nobody
else." Collyer said, "is he dead?" Witness went
back again to the spot, and Collyer came after him.
Allen also followed. He was then differently dressed.
Witness did not hear him say a word. 'The body was
conveyed to the Old Bell. Witness never knew of any
quarrel having taken place before between the deceased
and Allen. They had high words on the road between
Buckland and Ashton, but he did not hear what was
said; they all appeared to be in liquor..
Spencer, a constable, stated, that about one
o'clock on Sunday morning be was sent for, and found
the deceastd lying quite dead. Witness proceeded to
Allen's house, and found there Allen and 'Thomas
Reeves. Allen said he did not strike the deceased. Wit-
ness afterwards found a fustian jacket in the house with
spots of biotid upon it.
Reeves, the first witness, identified the jacket is that worn by
Allen on the night of the murder.
Skencer continued—He then took Collyer into custody.
George 'Thorn stated, he resides near the spot wheie
the murder was committed, and heard loud screaming •
on the night in question. He heard John Allen's wife
say, " Goa bles3 you, John, don't strike hien any more ;
if you do, you'll certainly kill hiin." Witness heard
several blows given in quick succession. After the
blows, he heard Allen say, " I have settled him, and if
you don't be off I'll settle you.." Wichita heard Reeves
say, " if you hadn't been my brother I, wed(' have
killed you before now," and Confer said, " and serve
him right.;" he added, the deceased's head laid- in a
hole in the earth, as if it had been- pressed in.
This witness Was reproved by the ktegiltraies for not endeteduri
ing to prevent violence, on hearing that blows were passing.
Mr. Hayward, the surgeon, stated, that he found a
lacerated wound at the back of the deceased's skull,
two incheeloug, by one and a half deep. This wound
occasioned death. He found wounds on several other
parts of the body,
Another surgeon proved, that he heard people quer."

blows struck, and afterivards site the body' of the de:
ceased,
_with a shovel lying between his legs.
A nom named Lotman, proved that the rail with which the
deceased had been struck was taken fiom a hedge near where
be resided.
Several other witnesses were examined, whose evidence was not
material, most of them merely proving that-the deceased and the
-prisoners were heard in quarrel at the public-house.
The clothes of the three prisoners were produced, and
upon those of Reeves and Allen blood was found ; all
which the latter accounted for by saying that he lifted
up the body of the dieeased.—The three prisoners were
then fully committed for trial.

Henley, who gave evidence in the utast bf is'Coir4i. 10101," wai
brought up in custody, for the purpose of givinf hail• to answer a
charge of perjury made against him by Alderman rpi.
Henley is ad old mid in some nttifl4l ockiliftrA akant Thin y.
lane Theatre. He was called upon for the de(ebde to the Wove;
mentioned action, and he deposed to Whit, it the Jury had given
credit to him, would have materially ilFicted the-refs-64f Ih4
tiff. He swore that, in May or June, 1824, he haw' All:erman Cos
and his wife walking together, between eleven it•tid tWelve o'clock
in the day time, in St. Martin's-lane; that Afro. Coil kid• i veil

till next Sessions. Mr. Henley entered 'into retdgbiiAes ;be

. .
and produced two Gentlemen, who, we believe, belong to the same
Theatre, as his sureties, each in the hum of £4O.
BOW-STIIEtT.

The late hour at which Prober! was examined, only enabled oi
to give an account of his.committal in the STAR of yesterday, we
now, therefore, give an acc oust of his examination. On his being
?laced at the bar, his Solicitor applied to•have the exantinatleit ad=
roomed, but this was refused.
Andrew Meredith, the prosecutor, was then sworn, and tie-
saibed the loss of his mare in the same manner as before. He
added, that he saw kis mare on Saturday and Monday •last, in the
custody of Ellis the officer. He found, as he sulpected he should,
that she had been cropped at the tail. She was much impoverished.
There did not appear to have been any attempt to disguise the ap-
pearance of the mare beyond the docking of her tail. He should
have known her among twenty others. He valued her at 25 goineas.
James Stammers sworn.-a-I am hostler to Richard Francis, of
Philhimore-place, Kensington, livery-stable-keeper. About seven
o'clock on the evening of last Wednesday (the 16th instantjv the
prisoner came to my master's stables with a mare, which I Lave
this day seen at the door of the office. He said, as he rode into that
yard, " Hostler, will you take care of my mare for the night? t
told bins I would; And he said, " Be sure you take care of her,
and give her plenty to eat, for I have ridden her forty miles to.
day." He followed nee into the stable, and gave me his spurs, and
said, " I don't know that I shall come myself for her to-Morrow ;
but if I don't, I will send a man for her. I don't know whether I
shall come this road to•morrow, and I shall most likely send." lie
then inquired my name ? and said be would address a note to me
in my christian name.
Mr. hit:Postai. here desired the ptisoner to put on his hat—end
asked the witness if he was qulte sure that this was the man who
brought the mare? •
Witness—lt is the same man. He said as he was going away,
" Mind, I shall direct the note to James, the hostler." A mall
came the next day with a note, which I now produce.
Thisvote was read by Mr. Richmond, the Clerk.
"To James, the hostler, livery stables, near the Adam and live,
Kensington. •
" James.'-Let the bearer have my mare,aad he will pay yea fot:
the keep of her.--Thursday. '6 Jamas ruososotar

John Fruen,the man now present, was the man who brought the
note. He paid me 4s. 6d. for the keep of the mare, and took her
away. She has now the same saddle and bridle.witleh she bad
when the prisoner brought her.
John Fruen sworn.— I keep a chandler's shop in Carnaby-street,
Carnaby-market, . and I occasionally cook victuals.. One night.
about five months ago, the prisoner came into my house and took
supper. He came again four or five times, and then I saw no
more of him until Wednesday night last, when he called- in and
asked me, after some indifferent remarks, if I knew of a lodging in
the neighbourhood ? I said I did not, and he said he saw one td
let as he came through Cross-street. He called again the next
morning, and said he had taken the lodging in Cross-street, and by
his order I sent bread and cheese and other provisions to the house.
He told me that he had a mare at Kensington, and he wished me
to take her to one of the Repositories for sale, and he would give
me a sovereign for my trouble. On Thuriday I called on him by
went, and he asked me to go to some livery-stables and in-
-eon what days the sales at the hammer took place at Dixon's,
rtat
• Barbican ; at the Repository in doswell-street ; and at Al..
dridge's, in St. Martin's-lane? I ascertained that •the public salt n
Dixon's would be on the following day (Friday). I informed floe
prisoner of this, and called on him again by appointment in the
afternoon of Thursday, when he wrote •three andes--one addressed
to James, the hostler, at Phillimore-place; one to Mr. Cozens, in
High-street, Kensington; and the third to Mr. Dixon, B.rblean.
'l'be witness said he believed the note produced was tit-sante he
saw the prisoner write to Mr. Dixon, and which he delivered at the
RZpository with the mare. He produced the straps and spurs de-
livered to hint with the mare, and went on to say," I took the mare
to Dixon's. The prisoner told me to go with her through the iron
gate 'M Kensington, and across the Park to Cumberland-gate, and
down the New-road, as she bad not been used to the atones; and
going so far over them would, perhaps, bort her. - I hdwever
came ant at Greaveneriate, and pursued the nearest road to Bar-
bleep, where I left the mare and the note. I attended- the next
day, and saw her sold at the hammer for twenty guineas. I saw
the prisoner the same evening, and told him she had been sold for
£l6, as I. intended to surprise bias whin I btought him the money,
which I was to call at Dixon's for elf Monday. That evening .we
hid' three pots of beet- together, and philid a gime at cards. I
