WINTER ASSIZES.
HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, DSC IS. "
Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.
Thomas bans and Edoua►d immonds were indicir.
for being found armed for the destruction of game in
the enclosed grounds of Mr. Ball Hughes, in the ;parish
of Walton-upon-Thames, bets een tl:e hours of one and
two in the morning of the Sth of October.
Mr. Jemst err stated the case for the prosecution.
It was proved, that en the night above•mentioned,
the tiring of guns was heard by Mr. Ball Hughes's game-
keepers ; that they found three men on the spot whence
the sound proceeded, two of whom (the prisoners) they
took into custody. No gun was found in the hands of
the prisoner', but Lucas had a bludgeon and Simmonds
a stick, which appeared to hate been used as a ramrod.
Three pheasants were found near the spot, with that
necks broken ; they had all been shot.
Guilty—Sir months imprisonment and hard labour.
Before Mr. Justice Paaa.
William Yates, otherwise Daniel Frideriek Jones, was
indicted for obtaining from the Earl of Brecknock the
sum of 21. by false pretences.
Mr. Lnw stated the case for the prosecution, and
Mr. ADOLPHUS was for the defendant.
The particulars of the ease have been alieady stated
in our police reports.
Mr. Aont.vitua, on the part of the prisoner, objected
that there was no proof that the money had been ob-
tained in Surrey. An acknowledgment of receipt at a
place by no means proved that it was actually at that
place that the money was received. A person might
acknowledge in the veiling at one place what he had
received at another in the morning.
Mr. Justice PARC thought that, under the old law,
there was evidence enough bete to go to the Jury of
receipt in Surrey, but as the law stood at present there
was no foundation at all for the objection, for by 7 Geo.
IV. c. 64,sec. 12, it was provided, that where a felony
or misdemeanour was commenced, in one county, and

•
completed in another, such felony or misdemeanour
might be tried in either county.—Guilty.
He was then tried and convicted on another charge,
of having obtained a check for VI from Colonel Wood,
M.P. by fake pretences, similar to those on which the
last indictment was founded.
In passing sentence, Mr. Justice PARK forcibly re-
marked on the enormity of the crime, and sentenced
the defendant to seven years' transportation for the first
offence, and to the same time for the second, to com-
mence at the expiration of the first seven years. The
latter part of the sentence will, of course, depend on the
decision of the point of law, which is to be submitted
to the Judges. The defendant, it is understood, has
succeeded to a great extent in his impositions on the
credulity of mankind.

INHUMAN MURDER OF A FEMALE.

OXFORD, Dec. te.
During the present week this city has been kept in
the greatest excitation, produced by the perpetration
, of a shocking and extraordinary murder.—The unfor
tunate woman who has been so inhumanly murdered
was about 23 years of age, and of great personal beauty.
The name by which she was known in Oxford was Ann
Crotchlev, but it is believed her real name is Preece or
Price. Without a friend to assist her, she became a prey'
to prostitution, but was remarkable for the mildness of
her manners—and she was far beyond the class of such
unfortunate outcasts, and her fate apreared to excite
great commiseration. The body of the poor girl
as, since death, undergnire a minute surgical investi-
LO
gation, and such, were the dreadful injuries she had
• sustained by some Sharp•edged instrument that they
• are beyond parallel; the description of them, how-
' ever, will be found in the sequel, as developed by
• the two surgeons (Messrs. Dickerson and Paxton),on tire
tawnier ON THE BODY.
The Inquest was held, pursuant to adjournment, on
Monday night last, before GLOROM Cacti., Esq. Coroner
foe the City and County of Oxford, and a highly re-
spettable Jury, at the Three Crowns Tavern, St. Tho-
mas e investigation- excited the most intense
• intere t, and the utmost anxiety prevailed throughout
the loan as to its result, as a person resident in the
• • neighbour hood, and who was in attendance upon the
Inquest, was strongly suspected of being a party im-
plicated in the dreadful affair.
The Jury having been empanelled and sworn, pro-
_ceeJed with the Coroner to view the body of the un-
happy girl ; it was lying at her lodgings, at the house
of Ali s. Cox, in St. Thomas's. The cot pse was remarked
by the Jury to be the most handsome they had ever
before seen, the limbs being cast in nature's finest
mould, and of the most delicate symmetry. On the
left breast there were discoloured marks of a man's
thumb and four fingers, and similar marks upon both
ancles; her left side was much discoloured, and various
other contusions were visible about her person, but
which delicacy prevents our describing. The masks on
the breast and ancles are considered to have been pro-
duced by two monsters, by holding her down perhaps'
whilst a third inflicted the deadly injuries on the un-
happy girl.
On the return of the July, the following evidence
• was taken by Mr. Cecil, the Coroner, touching the
dreadful elf irr :
Johnftledges sworn—l am the porter at All Saints'
• College, in this city. On Friday morning last, at about
a quarter past 12 o'clock, I arrived home at my house
in Blue Boar-hare, near the Racket Court, and on ap-
proaching the door I found a female sitting on the step;
her head was lying on the step, and her heels in the
gutter. I could perceive she was intoxicated, and unable
to speak ; I knocked at the door, and my servant, James
Champ, came out, and we removed her into a narrow
. passage close by, where we left her with her herd
resting against the wall. I went to look for-a watch-
man, leaving Champ with her. In Bear-lane I saw
a young man named Llewellyn, and a female named
Harriet Mitchell, in conversation. I asked them if
they had seen the watchman, and they said they bed not.
I then told them that a female was lying in the passage
intoxicated, and that I wanted a watchman to carry
her home to her lodging,. The young woman (Mitchell)
said she knew her well—that it was Ann Crutchley, a
friend of her's, and that'she would help her hoine. She
• further said that she and Crutchley had been drinking
together at Brasenose College, tiot that she (Mitchell)
• as not so tipsy as her. Llewellyn. and the girl Mitchell
en returned with me to the deceased, and we there
flstnd a watchman, and a man named John Williams, a
painter, living in Oxford. Williams and the young
' nue tleviellyn lifted the deceased upon her feet, but
she was unable to stand, and it was then proposed by
them to remove her home to her lodgings in.; wheel-
' barrows upon which I and my hay Champ went away,
and I saw no Marco' lair till after her death.

to be Harriet Mitchell. I stood talking to her, when'
the last witness came op and asked me if I had seal,
the watchman. On his telling me that a femilie'
was lying in the passage drunk, I returned with bid,
i
and found the deceased lying as he had described
—Her cap was off her head, and her black silk
apron was lying in the gutter. I attempted to raise
her on her legs, but she could not stand. Field, the
watchman, was there. and Harriet Mitchell asked him
to let her stop in his box, but he replied, " No, 11l see
her first." I remained with her about 20 minutes?'
and then went away, leaving one young man with her ;
I believe it was Williams; I proposed to him to carry
her home, but he would not assist me.
Juror—Did she speak at all ?
Witness answered in the negative. 1 heard her groan
once, but I saw no blood.

Harriet Mitchell sworn—l have heed acquainted
with the deceased two days only. On the evening of
Thursday last, about seven o'clock, 1 met her, and
we walked together from St. Thomas's to Brasenose
College. When we came there, the deceased went
up to the window of one of the gentlemen's rooms, and
seven or eight of the gownsmen came to the window, and,
one of them asked her if she would take any thing ; she'
answered, "Yes, a little wine: One.of them said he
had no wine, but he would give her a little brandy, if
she would have it. Sbe consetabed ; and the.Gentlemanl
then said, as he could not get a glass between the bars,l

street, and saw her talking to Cos, the watchman,
and heard her ask him the way to St. Thou:ail
parish. He told her she was tipsy. She then tamed
back and went towards Carfax, and on getting to
Blue Boar-lane she turned down very fast. I then-met
with Llewellyn, and whilst we were standing toge-
ther the witness Hedges came up, and told us of the
circumstance of the deceased lying near his house. I
and Llewellyn went back with He iges to the deceased.
and I found that she could neither stand nor speak. I
went away to procure the assistance of Cox, the watch.'
Man of St. Thomas's parish, where the deceased resided,
but I was so overcome that I c moot recollect anymore
that took place till about half-past one o'clock, when I
found myself at my lodgings. The deceased was oboist
24 years of age.
By the Jury.--The liquor the, .deceased drank- tip-
peared to be brandy. Does not think any drug had
been introduced into it. .
Mr. Joseph Dickerson, of the City of Oxford, sur-
geon and apothecary, sworn.-01h•Friday morning lasts
about sighs o'clock, he attended Ann Crumble,' at
her lodgings, in St. Thomas's parish ; she was then.
completely inseasibe from the loss of blood-from the,
womb ; these was no external injury. I could not ac.
count for the loss of the blood, there being no external
masks of violence uhats6ever. She appeared to be
dying; I adopted the plans necessary in such cases= I
returned is the evening and found her getting worie.l
and She died abcpt two o'clock neat morning. I asitmC
her what she had drank, and the only answer I had
(somber was " Port." There were symptoms of her hav-
ing swallowed something of a poisonous nature ; the
symptoms were sickness, and loss of motion, violent pains
in the stomach alter swell° sing. pulse imperceptible.,
and dilation of pupils. In consequence of these appear.,
antes I deemed it necessary to open the body, which
I did in the presence of Mr. Paxton, surgeon and ape
tbecary, of this city. On examination 1 frond all the
contents of the abdomen in perfect health, and no sign)
of a ruptured-vessel connected with the womb. On et'.
staining the womb internally, about two inches frees
the external part, there were two cuts about two inches
'in length, apparently as if they bad been done with a
double.edged instrument ; and the parts were so much
lacerated as to cause the flow of blood, which, in my
opinion. occasioned her death. Their jury must have
been inflicted by some other person, and not by the do.,
teased; and that at the time it was done she must have
been in a state of insensibility.
James Champ, servant to Mr. Hedges. sworn.—Be.
tween the hours of twelve and one o'clock on Friday
morning last. I returned from All Saints' Hall with
my master, Mr. Hedges, to his house in Blue Baar-lane.
On our arrival we found the deceased lying as has been
deicribe.l by my master ; I and Mr. Hedges lilted lser,
AP, and removed her three or four yards from the
'door. She did net speak a word. She seemed very
drunk, but at this time there was no blood about
her, nor did she seem at all injured. My master called
to a man named. John Williams, who was walking
by the end of the passage, along Blue Boar-lane, and
be came up ; Llewellyn and Mitchell asked him to stay
with hes (the deceased) whilst they procured some one to
tike her home. Williams said he would stay with her
lifer an hour. The rung man and woman then went
away, as also did I and my master, leaving Williams
with the deceased. I and my master remained with
her till the young m ill and woman went away, and I
MD certain they did not use any violence towards her.
lead
Llewellyn propose to Williams to see her home,
Lead Williams offered the watchman a shilling to carry
,ber home; the watchari-paid be would, if he coald
get a wheelbarrow; Williams said it would to the best
way; Williams and the watchman then tried to lift her
up
to carry her. but said she was too heavy ; Llewellyn
said he had better put her into his box. Tne Watchman
rep Ted, " No, I'll see her first." Tae watchman
and Williams did not come up to the young woman
together ; witness will swear that no person has per-
suaded him to keep back any thing he knows respecting
'the affair. and he has disclosed every thing he kurvis
about her death.
Richard Field sworn—l am a watchman of the parish
of All Saints. On Friday morniag. between 12 and
one o'clock, as I was going my rounds. I saw Williams
standing in. Swatocourt, and he walked with me to Mr4l
Hedges house, which is adjoining Blue Boar.lane, and
after we had proceeded about 100 yards we saw the
/deceased lying on some straw in a passage,2 or 3 yards
from Hedges door. We looked at her, and found she was
iseliquce, but at thisaime there were no signs of any
blood ;.bout her person, or upon the ground. Whilst
We were there, Llewellyn and the other girl came up,
is Llewellyn asked me to tab, the girl into my box,
jibl refused, but be did eot ask me to assist -iri
tarrying bee home. I said to the person who asked'
,111 d
me to take her Wei my boa. that .1 would see them
,Srst. I then went away, leaving Williams. Llewellyn,
and the girl Mitchell' with tie deceased, and I did not
',see them again. About two o'clock in the morning I
returned to the spot again, having previously told Crom-
well, another watchman, that a gill of the omelet

Bailey had left another girl drank in Davis's pass etfr
(the passage where the deceased ,eras lett), and eel
returned together. The deceased
.was then sitting oath
the grOund and alone. I said nothing to her. but yeti
back and met Cox, the watchman of St—Masy's, and
told him of the ci-connstance, and be said. as soon as
he had been his rounds, he would go and see her. 1,
afterwards saw Cox, and he saidhe had been, and that
there was a large quentity of blond about hey and on
the gteund, and that he thought the girl was dyiag. .1
then procured a harrow; and with assistance I wheeled
er home. Her clothes were waked in blood. aid she
'was in a senseless state, and apparently lifeless. I
carried her in the wheelbarrow to Mr. Simmonds;
the apothecary, and he advised me to take her to the
Hospitafk but I subsequently took her home to her
indgings,liat Mrs, Cot's, in St. Thomas's pati,h,:and I
Went back and requested Mr. Simmonds to go and see
he-. He said he would not, and desired me to apply to
the Parish Doctor (Mr. Dickerson); I felt her at Mr.
Cox's, under the care of Mrs. Cox. I afterwards went to
Mr. Dickerson's and requested him to go to the girl.
which he promised to do. I did not call the hoot of one,
found Davis's•passage.
J ernes Paxton, of the city of Ox fio-d. surgeon and apo-
thecary sworn—On Saturday last I accompanied Me.
Dickerson, and essisted in opening the body of Ana
Ct utcliley : I found the body exceedingly pale fromioss
of blood—the womb was perfectly I estate—there wait
two wounds in the vulva, apparently cut with a knife,
which had caused a great effusion of blood, and occa-
sioned death; the stomach was perfectly healthp. mat
I do not believe her death' could have been caused' by,'
intoxication ; I think that a sharp instrument had bees
inn oduced into the vulva, which had ten wounds and
were much lacerated; there were several severe bruises
on the left breast and sm., and on both the legs and
thighs of Ann Crotchley, but those Istui•oes erre not
sufficient to occasion her death ; I do not believe that
she could have inflicted the wounds herself—the bruises
were secret.
Mary Ann Cox. the wife of .I,mes Cnt,of the parish
of St. Thomas, Oxf, rd, watchman, sworn.—The de-
ceased had lodged with me about four months. She
was frequently in the habit of coming home tipsy late
at night; on Friday morning last she was btought to
my house about half-past 'Mee., by Field, Coe, and
Cromwell, three watchmen. I went down stairs and
toot her in, and the watchmen left her in my care; she,
was laid on some blankets by the fire, and I went up
stairs; there was a light when the watchmen brought
her. I thought she was only tipsy. NAttet I had gotist
up stairs a quarter of an hoot, I heard her groaningTjl
went down and got a light, and examined her, and found
her in. a. bad state, and that she had bled a great
deal, and was then bleeding. Mr. Dickerson came
about five o'clock, and knocked at Mr: Tandy's the noml
door to my holm; I looked out at the window, sad -I
asked him what he wanted ? He said he bad called tell
attend a young woman; I told Mr. Dickerson the aid'
was only intoxicated, and he- in consequence wank
away. Th..: dece sed afterward, got worse. Ithen-asleink
her if she had been ill-used ? and she said she b:
and by some man, bat she did not know who he was.
. Witness went for Mr. Dickerson again, and he c
about eight o'clock that morning, and.again in oba
evening, and applied leeches, and gave her medicine,
but the d ed the following morning.
A discus,ioo now took place between the Coroner
and Jury, as to the propriety of examining the man
Williams, against whom strong suspicion rested. It
was ultimately agreed that he should be called in.
Oa his entering the room, Mr. Cam, in a very plain
and explanatory manner, told him that he was not
bound to answer any questions that might be put to
him by the Jury without he thought proper, and more
particularly he cautioned him not to give such answers
that would tend to criminate himself with the unhappy
woman's death. He would say there were some sus-.
picious circumstances against him, and in justice to him
he would al,o say there were some favourable to him.
Having thus placed him upon his guard, he was at
liberty to give what account he plea'ed to the Gentln-
men of the Jury. He merely said he was quite innocent,
in having any participation is, the death of the woman:
and what he had done had been from motives of hal
amity. He had offered the watchman a shilling Is
carry her h me, but be would tint do it. '
Mr. Cacti. said, he must admit that that circumvance
was in his favour.

Williams said, he could only say as he had done be-
fore, that be knew.nothing whatever as to the manner
she came by the injuries that caused her death.-1-le
was then desited to leave the room.

filr.Cscit. then read overtire evidence, and commented
thereon at con.iderable length as he proceeded. That the
deceased had come by her death, by the injuries u de-
scribed by the surgeons, three could be no doubt, and
the fact svk (on to by them, that it was impossible for her
to have perpettated them herself, placed it beyond all
conjecture that she had been most brutally murdered.
The next point for their consideration would be, whether
they could safely say by whom the murder had been
committed. He (eared there was no evidence to
enable them to do so. There certainly seemed
some suspicion against Williams, but he most say
that it was so slight, that no Jury would ever convict
him upon it. It, however, would be for the Jury to
weigh the testimony of the witnesses in their mind, and
return such a verdict that the facts swam to would
warrant them in so doing.
The Jury coasulted for several hours, they being di-
' vitied in their opinions. A verdict of " Wilful Murder,
against some person or persons at present unknown;
was recorded.
