Edward Warren, a soldier in the Guards, stated,
that he was bne of the codflpany on the 18th of line,
' and the deceased was also of the party; had peen the
prisoner previously about fotiro clock on that day,
who had a fork screwed on to his maimed hand (the
prisoner bad lost his right hand), which witness took
from him, as he was abusing people, and likely to
do mischief. The prisoner was not drunk, but in
' liquor.. Saw Saw the deceised go out to, buy tobacco,
about half after nine, and saw a row in the street op-
posite to the public house. Twig was wounded, and
was lying with his face upwards ; he was put upon
the back of the witness, and taken to the guard-
room, about fifty yards distant ; deceased said some-
thing which witness could not make ont, and was
quite dead when taken off the back of the witness.
David Evans, a surgeon, in Burr-street, deposed,
that the deceased was wounded a little below the
navel; the wound bad been inflicted with a sharp in-
.serumeat, and was the cause of his death ; it was
three inches deep, and a portion of the omentum
protruded.
Samuel Millar, a police officer, had taken the pri-',
inner, on the 19th, to the Police Office in Whitecha- i
pel ; asked the prisoner for hicknite, who said he had
hone, and that he had not committed the murder.—
At the Police Office, prisoner said, he did not know
I whither he had committed the murder or not ; that
he was mad and drunk ; witness hadtreceived a knife
from the landlord of the White Lion public-house,
and had kept it ever since.
' Charles Penlow (a Prussian), a servant at the
public-house, stated, that at eleven o'clock of the'
night in question, he had taken a candle, and went
'to look lot a knife, which he found about thirty or
forty yards from the public house ; the knife was shut
when found, and there was a little blood on the blade;
a knife was shewn to the witness, which he identified
as the one he had found. •
Jonathan Murray. a pawnbroker, in East Smith-
field, had, on the 17th, sold a knife to the prisoner,
similar to the one produced; it was a knife of the
same description, and had the same maker's name;
believed the knife :hewn him to be the same he.had
sold to the prisoner.
John Moody (the person assaulted by the prisoner
on the same night) did not know if the prisoner had
a knife; had seen him in the evening, and again at a
quarter past ten o'clock, when prisoner )14d a sharp
inktrnment in his hand. No other questions were put
to the witness. _ _

The prisoner being called upon for his defence.
stated. through the medium of the interpreter. that
he had been attacked by three soldiers, at die public-
house, then he had got two black eyes and a swelled
head, and lost his money and knife ; had been six
years at Greenwich, and had received twenty-eight
pounds to carry him home to his own country, of all
of which he had been robbed; was much in liquor
at the tune, and had no witnessestocall in his defence.

The first witness being recalled, contradicted in
the strongest manner, the statement of the prisoner.
Twig, the deceased, wore plain clothes at the time
when he was killed.

Mr. Justice PARKS summed up the evidence, and
the Jury immediately returned a verdict of—Guilty.
Tile RECOnDEA then, in the most impressive man-
ner, pronounced the sentence of death, and the pri-
soner was ordered for execution on Monday next.

fought the battles of thi► country fur 26 years, had
lost his arm in the service, and only regretted that he
had lent himself to the enemies of his own country.
