• ' FINAL EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL FOR
TRIAL OF CHARLES HUSSEY.
, Se
. IYesterday1Yesterday morning, so early as nine o'clock, crowds w
were assembled 'at Greenwich, opposite the National w,
1 School, it being understood that the examination of h
Charles 'fussed would commence at half past nine ti
1 o'clock. The roads from Deptford, Blackheath, and
1 all the places adjacent to Greenwich, were lined with s,
persons, who were eager to have a view of the priso- o
nor. By half past nine there were at least 3000 a
persons waiting anxiously to see the prisoner, and
. witness his examination. The Magistrates f the h
i town had the precaution to erect partitions in the Na- a
i tional School-room, which holds two thousand per- t
sons, to prevent the crowd pressing upon them, and t
thereby interrupt the business.
• The prisoner (Charles Hussey) was brought from 1
t the Cage (where he was confined during the night, t
I '
) and had persons to sit up with him) by eight o'clock, i
by Adkins, Vickery, and the parish constables, to pre- ,
. ,
vent any disturbance which might otherwise have ,
I arisen Irons the extraordinary curiosity of the inhabi- 1
: i tans of Greenwich and the neighbourhood.
About twenty minutes before ten the following ,
Magistrates arrived at the School, for the purpose of
• taking the evidence of the witnesses :—Colonel Font:- ,
MAN, RICHARD SMITH, 1!..!•q. ASEAHAM CONSTABLE, :
; Esq. Rev. H. DavlEs, Rev. Dr. WATSON, JAMES !
RICE WILLIAMS, Esq. and Colonel PENN:ELL. I
. The prisoner was placed at the bar, about a quar-
t
ter before ten, by Adkins .and Vickery, by order of
i the Magistrates ; and the inhabitants of Greenwich
and the public were admitted at the doors to witness
i the interesting examination. • About two thousand
1 persons gained admittance, and as many waited out-
side the building during the whole of the examina-
tion. The High Constable (Mr. Smith) and all the
; . 1 constables and officers of Greenwich were called out
, upon the occasion. The windows of the School,
• where the examination took place (it Ling the most
commodious place in the town) were broken by the
i crowd, and the business frequently interrupted, which
the exertions of the officers could not prevent.
iOl Mr. BICKNELL, the Clerk of the Magistrates, read
.4 the following evidence, which was taken before Mr.
P Smith and James Rice Williams, Esq. on last Mon-
tl• day week, at the committal for trial of William Ha-
zeidon, charged on suspicion of being accessary with
Charles Hussey in the murder and robbery of Mr. ,
Bird and Mary Simmons. The Magistrate that )tt
0 pre-
sided (IticnAo SMITH, Esq.) said that the evidence
ii affected
affected both the prisoners, and was very important.
Mrs. Goddard, wife of Mr. Goddard, of Hughes...
1 1 i ) field, Deptford, being sworn, stated, that about a
• month atter the murder was committed at Green-
, wich, Mr. Lutton, of the Greenwich Academy,
i I brought a box to her house, and it.was placed under
a counter in her husband's shop. She and her hus-
band deal in grocery; the box was not removed from
.•
I i under the counter during the time it was at her !,
house, until Hodges and Larking, the constables,
I fetched it away.

MAoisraarz—What height is your shop counter?
About the usual height.
MAGISTRATE.—It you were standing where your
customers stand to be served, could you see the box
4 in the situation it stood ?—I know I could.
I .b•ACUSTRATI.—After the box was brought to your
house, did Hussey and Hateldon come to your house
9
in company together ?—Yes, they did ; I can't say
how often. In one instance I remember Hussey
, ' I came with Hateldon ;we had then just dined .—it
, might be a week before Hussey-lefi town ; they took
'
