NARY ASHFORD.

So great was the public curiosity to hear this trial,
that the street in front of the County-hall was
crowded before seven o'clock. When the gates were
opened at eight, the rush was tremendous. At that
hour, precisely, Mr. Justice Hotnovn entered the
Court, and the trial commenced. The prisoner, a
builder and bricklayer, is about 5 feet 7 inches in
height his natural thickness is greater than common,
but his excessive corpulency has swollen his whole
figure into a sire that rather approaches to deformity;
his lace is swollen and shining, his neck very short and
very thick, but his limbs are well proportioned. He
was well dressed, in a long black coat,. yellow waist.
coat, coloured breeches, and stockings. His counte-
nance seemed unmoved during the whole trial. Mr.
CLARKE, Serjeant COPLEY, and Mr. PERKINS, were
Counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. READER and Mr.
REYNOLDS for the prisoner.
In order to make the evidence intelligible, it may
be proper to give the following description of the
scene where the mysterious and melancholy subject
of inquiry took place :
Langley, where Mary Ashford lived with her
uncle (Coleman), is north-east of Birmingham; Ty-
burn, where the dance was on the 26th May, is also
north-east, but not so far north as Langley : it is
upon the great Chester-road ; Castle-Bromwich,
where Thornton lived with his father, is north of
Birmingham, but not so far north as Tyburn, and
much further east. Mary Ashford, in going from
Langley to Birmingham, passed, through Erdington.
Between Langley and Erdington she crossed the
Chester.road. The public way would be by Pens-
mill-lane, south-west and by Bell-lane, turning off at
right angles and leading due south through Erding-
ton. But in the angle between these two lanes are
the fields that form the scene of this trial. Coming
from Langley to Erdington along Pens-mill-lane, a
foot-path appears on the inside of the hedge, or. the lefii
on the right is Pens-mill, and a little further on the
houses occupied by Reyn•ilds and Lave% The path
runs for some space parallel with the lane; when it
comes to the third field froni the angle field (that
is to say, it is the field of which one side is to
Bell-lane, and the other to Pens mill-lane) it runs a
perfect diagonal through it, cuts cff a segment of the
next field, and then goes straight on by the end of the
other two fields till it falls into Bell lane. The third
field to the corner field, that is, the fourth in the series
of fields along Pens mill-lane, through which the path
goes from corner to corner, had been just ploughed
and harrowed at the time of this event. The adjoin.
ing field towards Langley was in great; the path runs
straight by the north-end of it, and a few paces from
the path, close by the hedge that separated it from the
harrowed field, is the pit where the body was found.
Tyburn is south of Langley, and immediately on the
Chester-road. As you go along westward on that
road you cut Bell-lane at right angles, almost at
equal distances from Erdington, situated on the
felt, and Pensmill-lasts, on the right. On the north
side of the road, and in Bell-lane, lives the old man,
Coleman, the grandfather. Castle-Bromwich, where
Thornton lived, 'is also on the Chester-road, but con-
siderably to the eastward, and rather south of Ty-
burn ;it is nearly as far south as Erdington. The
road from Birmingham to Erdington is north-west ;
to Castle Bromwich north-east. In going from Er-
dington to Castle Bromwich one does not go near the
fields where the murder was committed. "

The prisoner was arraigned upon a charge of hav-
ing assaulted Mary Ashford, and thrown her into a
pit, in which she was drowned ; he was also' ar-.
reigned upon the Coroner's Inquisition finding him
guilty of the murder. He pleaded Not Guilty.
When the Jury were named, William Smith was
objected to and excluded : the following persons were
sworn :—John Brooks, George Hughes, Thomas
Pope, John Harrison, Isaac Green, Joseph Johnson,
William Bennett, John Halyburn, George Stanley,
Thomas Jones, John Tibbets, and Joseph Bird.
Cusnicz opened the case to the Jury in terms
to the following effect:
" Gentlemen—Mary Ashford, a young woman of
irreproachable character down to the event which ter-
minated in her death, was on the 27th of May last
found drowned in a pit near Erdington. The task
is imposed upon you to find whether the prisoner had
thrown her into that pit? The following facts are to
be laid before you in evidence:—The unfortunate
young woman went on the 26th from her uncle's at
Langley* where she lived, to Birmingham. On her
way she caned urn Hannah Cox, at Erdington,

'and arranged that she should be back early in the
evening to go to a dance at Tyburn. This was an
annual feast, and a dance always followed. She
was not in the habit of attending dances, but she did
attend at this dance. The prieener was there, ad-
mired the &tire and general appearance of Mary
AO:fere, and was heard to say, a I have been inti-
mate" (I won't use the coarse expression he made
nse of) e with her sister, and I will here eonrection
with her, though it should cost me ray life." He
accompanied her from the dancing-room, and was
seen with her at a stile abou: three in the morning.
At four she called at her friend Cox's, and was calm,
composed, and in good spirits. On her leaviag
Erdington at this time, between four and five its
the morning of the 27th, the fatal deed was done
which now forms the subject of your inquiry.—
Gentlethen, it will be shewn to you that the footsteps
of a man and a woman were traced from the path
through a harrowed field by which she was going'
towards Langley. These footmarks exhibited proofs
of running, chasing, and straggling. They at length
led to a spot where a distinct impression of the human
figure was found, and a large quantity of coagu-
lated blood was also discovered; iu the same place
were seen the marks of a mm's knees and toss. From
that spot, the blood was distinctly traced for a consi-
derable space on the grass by the side of the pathway
towards the pit where the body was found ; but along
with this blood no footstep was traced. There was
dew upon the grass, consequently had any foot gone
along there the dew would have been brushed away.
It appeared plainly as if a man had walked along the
footway carrying a body, from the extremity of
which the blood dropped upon the grass. At the
edge of the pit, her shoes, her bonnet, and her bun-
dle were found, but only one footstep ensile he seen
there, and that was a man's. It was deeply impressed,
and seemed to be that of a man who thrust one feet
forward to heave the body he had in his arms into
the pit. When her body was examined, there were
m irks of laceration upon. it, and both her arms had
• the visible marks of hands as if they had pressed
them with violertce to the ground ; in her stomach
some uuckweeds were found, which prove that she
breathed after she had been thrown
..nt the water,
but the small qaentity merely stews that she had net
previously been quite dead. The evidence of a skil-
ful surgeon will chew that down to this violence she
had been a virgin. It is therefore natural to suppose
that the violent agitation and outrageous injury of
sack an assault stunned her awl deprived her of
animation for the moment ; that in this state she
wes thrown into the water ; and that the animation re-
seared for a moment,was instantly cut off by drowning.
Hitherto, however, the prisoner is not connected with
the act ; but you will not only find him with her at
three o'clock, you will also find by his ()en atimes-
sion that he was with her at four. You will find the
marks of the man's shoes in the running and strug-
gling correspond exactly to Fs. You will find his
own admission that he was intimate with her, and
this admission made, not before the Magistrate,
never till the evident proofs were discovered on his
clothes: her clothes, too, afford most powerful (vie
dente. At her friend Cox's, at four in the morning,
she put off her dancing dress, and put on the dress
in which she had gone to Birmingham. The clothes
' she put on there, and which she la id on at the time
of her death, are all over bloody and dirtied. The
Surgeon will tell you that the coagulated blood could
not I eve proceeded except from violence. Therefore
the case appears to have been, that he had paid at-
tention to her during the night—sliewn perhaps those
attentions which she. might naturally have been
pleased with, and particularly nom one her superior
in life ; hut that afterwards he waited for her in her
return from Erdington, and first forcibly ve.leted
her, and then threw her apparently lifeless body into
the pit. It will be attempted to chew yon, that he
returned home, and that some other person must
have met her, and brought her to the dismal end she
met with : but, Gentlemen, as footsteps were traced
through the harrowed field to a stile leading to his
father's by the very course he took, and he admits
an intimacy with her, that is a circumstence of the
utmost importance ; and you will bear in asind that
he did not admit this till the proets were Adduced
against him. (Here Mr. READ= expostulated with
Mr. CLARK& for making such observations). Gen-
tlemen, the evidence will be laid before you. Troia
it you will form your judgment, and I desire yea to
lay out of view every thing that I may have amid.
unless it shall be confirmed by the Learned ,lodge
who presides at this trial.
Hannah Cox, examined by Serjeant COPLIT•••••I
live in Erdington, at Mr. Machin's : I always steep
at my mother's, Mrs. Butler: I was acquainted with
Mary Ashford: Langley-heath, where she lived, is
about three miles from Erdington. Wm. Coleman,
her grandfather, lives at the top of Bell-lane, near
Mr. Freeman's (immediately to the north of the
Chester road). About ten o'clock on Monday morn.
Mg, the Nth May, Mary Ashford celled for mete
she came to Mr. Machin's, and I went with her to
my mother's : she was going to Birmingham, to the
market: she had on a pink cotton frock, a straw
bonnet and straw Ore ribands, black stockings, and
half-boots; she had a clean frock, a white spencer,
and a pair of %hue stockings, in a bundle, which she
left at my mother's for putting on to go that night
to the dance at Tyburn, in Daniel Clarke's house..
Tyburn is between two and three
.miles from'Er-
dington. I saw her again about six o'clock in the
evening : she changed her dress : she put on - a cee
louree frock ; I fetched her a new pair of sheet
from the shoe-maker; we set out to the dance be-
tween seven and eight; I remained with her about a
quarter of an hour iu the dancing-room;, I felt the
house between eleven and twelve; I waited at the
bridge for her. Benjamin Caner came out to so:
Carter went in to look for Mary Ashford ; she came,
and Mr. Thornton (the prisoner) with ber all tour
walked on westward by. the Chester road, Mary
Ashford and Mr. Thornton first, Benjamin Caner
and I after theta. Carter left me, and went batk to
the danOng-room. I walked with them to a place
between Reeves's and The Old Cuckoe's (Potter's).
then walked on before them, and took cue road so
the left, to Erdington, and saw no more of them..
I was knocked up by Mazy Ashford at OD minutes
before five, by my mother's clock. The clock was
WO fast (41 minutes, as afterwards proved) She
*was calm and in g.sod spirits ; she changed ter dreg
'all but her shoes ; she put on her former dress, a
part of which was a scarlet spawn ; she put 'hew

&rots in her pocket handkerchief a.napkin contain.

have remained a qn.srter of an hour. but 043 w 1 as
the inmost of it. She stood up while putting on'
her stockings.
Cross-s•zarnined by Mr. READER.—Mary Ashford's
father is a gsrdener in Erdinvon. She said she had
slert at her erAndfAths;'s since she had parted with
rte. She Mr. Tirtntoe had stopt a good bit
with her, and was gooe
by the Couttr.—Mary Ashford bad told 'tie, when
we were coming hon.?, slit was, going to her grand-
father's. _ _ _

Benjanun Carter, a farmer's son in Erdingtnn, ext.
mined by Mr. PalmNs, concurred with the form I.
witness SO far as their evi.lence came in contact. He
saw M.,ry Ashford dancing with the prisimer a few
minutes hefor2 they left the room to go away.

Toornas Ashbury, esamined by Seijeant Comex.
—On the morning of the .I.7th I saw Mary Ashford
against the Horse-pit in Bell-lane, going towards
Erdington t she was walking very last ; it was half
after three. She was alone; I looked up Bell-lane,
and saw ho other person.
Jol:st Chesterton Was up soon after two to fettle his
hoists : he went with them afterwards to 13irminp.
ham ; after be had Passed Mrs. Bittler's he stood to
look back, and saw Mary Ashford coming out at the
ratty : he smacked kis whip, anit she turned and
looked. This was a quarter past four. She went
along Bell-lane in a gre,t hurry.
Joseph Dawson SAW her at a quarter past four.
They asked each other bow they diJ ? She had on
a' searkt spencer, and walked very fast towards

Thomas Broadhurst, as he was going from Ty.
trim along the Ciester road, sew Mary Ashford
er•Asing it towards Pens mill-lane, walking fast. He
had asked a man whom he had ►een trenching, what
o'clock n was e he said ten minutes past four: it was
SO minutes to five when he got home: his clock was
a quarter fast. I. got home seven minutes after I
saw her.

_George Jackson.—l heard it strike five when I was
at the top of More-street, Birmingham ; I was going
to work beyond Pen's-mills. I passed by the work-
house in Erdington, turned out from Bell.lane into
the foredrift (that is, to cut the angle by taking the
pathway) towards Pen's-mills: I came to a pit, and
observed a bonnet, a pair of shoes, and a bunule, on
the edge of it, close' by the slope which leads down
into the pit. I saw that one shoe was aU blood. I
went to the nearest houses for assistance; I found a
Irian coming ont of his own door-place (Leven, who
occupies the house at the end of Reynolds's, on the
north of Pen's.mills-lane, and near the Mills). He
came with met I then told him to stop at the pit
while [went for More people. Going along the foot-
path I saw some blood in a sig-sag line; a little fur-
ther I saw a cake of blood, by the side of a bosh; 1
,aaw some more to the left, on some grass opposite.
I went on to get- men, apd went back, and saw them
at the place. I did not see the body. 1 went off to
* Crespexantitted by'Jlfr. Revont.ns.o—l tame to the
pit about halt-pasfsix. The pit is c10..e to a public
footpath, which is kparated from the public road
ortly by a hedge. The stile, communicating with
the harrowed field collie west, is two or three yards
from the pit. ' a
Wm. Lavell'conetirrid, in the part which he saw,
In common with the former witness. He further
stated thus:— After crossing the' stile beside the pit
and going along the diagonal footpath in the harrowed
field, towards Erdington,,l saw, first, a man's loot-
efepi striking off the path : at about eight yards fur-
ther I discovered a woman's striking They got
together in 15 yards. (By the plans produced, it
was evident that Lie wranAn, going towards Lang.
ley, had made an attempt to pass the man by run•
sting out of the path, and making a circuitous race
out of his line r and that the man, who had been
tither wasting for her or coming on to meet her, see-
ing this, ran out of the path to intercept her. It was
manifest too, that shehad been coming from Erding-
ton, and that he had been mowing in the contrary di-
rectisn, ur standing on the path). The foot-marks
theasbore towards the hedge on my right going to
Ershogtots. I judged tl:e persons to have been run-
ning, by the length of the strides,, and the sinking
into the groond : I traced them to a dry pit in the
far end of the harrowed field, observing them dou-
bling there as it they had been (lodging one another:
I traced them together then to the stile into the grass
field where the pit is; I traced a man's footstep in a
contrary way through the harrowed field : it appeared
that the man had been running : no woman's
trace was there; they could be tiaced to a stile which
led to Castle-Bromwich. The nest field in that di.
section was clover, and they wild be traced ne fur-
. theft there was no regular way without a .trespass in
this direction: I, with Joseph Bird, compared the
prisoner's Shoes which be had on that morning with
all these traces: they fitted exactly : I haven() doubt
et all that they were made by them : they !ere right
and left: there were sparibles :" in one place, where
a piece of wood ?lad turned up the shoe, the coinci-
dence was -quite conclusive. We compared Mary
Ashford's shoes, and theyfitted exactly to the woman's
traces.' • I saw one footstep, it was a man's, at the
edge of the slope ; it was the left foot sideways and
-
inclined

were on the clover. There was dew. There waste
first a regular run of blood, it then came to drops.
Cross examined by Mr. READER.—I traced the
footsteps at seven, compared the woman's shoes at ten,
and the man's at one. There WAS no thunder storm.
It rained while we were going at one. I observed'
the footmark at the pit as soon as I came to it ; it
was broad and evi lend), a man's, but not such as I
can swear to, as the spot was hard and grassy.
Joseph Bird concurred most accurately. The
, Counsel was prevented from inquiring into the state
of a field of oats on the way from the fatal spot to
Castle-Bromwich, because the witness had not ob-
served it till eight days after the murder.
James Symmons fetched a held rake, and with
others got the body out. The face was covered with
mud and oak leaves, such as were on the sut face of
the water.

Mr. Joseph Webster, preprieter of Pen's Mills, gave
' very distinct and foil evidence as to the footmarks,
the blood, and the state of the lvaly. Some of the
footmarks were immediately covered with hoards, to
i preserve them from any injury. The shoes fitted
quite exactly. He had not the smallest doubt of tl
having been made by.those very shoes. He de•
Iscribed the impression of the human body, and the
coagulated blood on tbe gronnd. in most distinct
terms. Delicacy frbds a full statement here, but
the inference clearly was, that violence had been of—
f,-red by ruffian force to virgin innocence. skle sent tl
body an d the clothes to Lavell's house.
The clothes were now produced in Court. They
were a sickening sight to all present. The muslin
spencer she had on till she ch.olged her dress at four
o'clock was quite clean : the eown she put on at four
was excessively cbrtied and bloody. The seat chewed
evident marks of violent pressure to the ground.—
The shoes were bloody, but she had them on all
along.—Mrs. Laren and Mary Smith swore to the
deep marks as of fingers on her arms.
Mr. Bedford, the Magistrate, swore to the decla-
ration and signature of the prisoner. It sets forth
that he had been with the deceased till four, when he
waited five minutes for her near Mrs. Butler's, and
then went away and saw no mere of her. He had
been drinking during the night, but was not intoxi-
cated. It mentioned several persons he had seen on
his way home. which was by fsfr Holden's (this is
quite the line to which the running footsteps of the
man, alone, would lead), and says that he was at
home by 20 minutes past five, when he changed his
coat and hat, but not his shoes a although they woe
wet by going through the grass. This declaration
was made about one o'clock, en the 27th of May, at
Daniel Clarke's in Tyburn.
Thomas Dale, the Constable, found the prisoner
at Tyburn by ten o'clock. lie went up stairs to exa-
mine his person, after he had been examined by the
Magistrate. There was blood upon him. He ac
knowledged that he had been intimate with her, with
her own consent, but that lie knew nothing of the
murder. This witness then said. that the prisoner
had previously admitted to him the connection, but
that lie did not recollect whether any other person was
present ; and that the witness did not recollect having
menu ned it to Mr. Bedford.
William Betson was at the dance. and beard the
prisoner salt Cotterill who Mary Ashford was ? and
on being told, he said, go I have been intimate with her
sister twice, and I'll be so with her, or I'll die by it."
Mr. Bananas endeavoured to throw discredit on
this evidence, by insinuating that Cottarill had de.
Hied it, and that such an observation cculd not pass
unanswered.

Daniel Clarke, on hearing of Mary Ashford's
death, went immediately to Castle-Bromwich. He
met the prisoner on a pony, at the Chapel. He said,
What has become of the young woman that went
away with you over night ? she is murdered and
thrown law a pit." The prisoner exchrimed, in some
corrosion, 1, Murdered was along with her till
four o'clock this morning." Witness asked him to
come al..ng with him and clear himself ; he replied
he could soon clear himself. He went with the wt-
ons to 'l') barn, put his pony into the stabli, went
into the room and eat and drank. There was not a
word said of the murder. The prisoner seemed not
disposed to speak of it, and the witness did not cress
it. They sp*.ke of the crop and the weather. He
never proposed to go to Sutton, where the body was
found.

• Mr. George Frere, a surgeon in Birmingham, gave
a very particular account of the state of the body,
which of course cannot be published: He gave it as
his decided opinion, that she had been a virgin till the
last fatal intercourse. The lacerations and the quan-
tity of blood evidently betokened violence. She had
died of drowning. Another surgeon who had been
present, the Counsel for the prosecution said it was
quite unnecessary to call.
Here the case toy the prosecution closed.
William Jennings, a milkman, in Birmingham, his
wife, John Holden the younger, and Jane Eaton,
swore that the prisoner passed by Holden's in the
morning of the 27th,,and walked slowly. They had
seen him pass, and ten minutes or a quarter after-
wards Mrs. Jennings asked Miss Eaton the clock,
and she said 17 minutes to five. Holden's cloilt was
neat day ascertained to Ise with Birmingham time.—
John Heydon saw the prisoner at Twarnley's stables
five minutes before five. This he knew by recollect-
ing the time be left h:s own house, and by taking a
watch and walking over-the same ground that he
had walked that morning; John Woodcock, miller
to Zaccharia Twamley, at Bromwich, and James
White, servant at Castle-Bromwich, saw the prisoner'
there at 20 minutes past five. By comparison of
watches and clocks, it was 'hewn that Mrs. Butler's
cluck was too last by 41 minutes ; the distance from
Mrs. Butler's to the pi: is one mile, two furlongs,
38 yards; and from the pit to Holden's, three miles,f
four furlongs, 38 yards the argumeht was thereto:*
.thus—Mary Ashford left Mrs. Butler's at tcn v:i-
nutes past lour; the prisoner was at Holder.% at
half pan boar, a distance of more than thin miles
from the pit; theretore, the deed charged could rot
have been done by the prisoner, since tie could not
have done it, and walked more than three miles, in
less than ten minutes.
William Coleman was called to say, that his grand-
daughter had not slept in his holm on the Eight in
question.
The Learned Judge summed - the --idence, if

!was Emu ; far as it win,. tl-nuph nn necnnnt had
peen gist t of the toot marks. The Jury would ba-
nish all i :-.pressions-received out of doors, and tread-,
len that the question was, not •thether the prisoner
hid acte.l improperly, but whether lie had commit-
ted the act chsrg-rd ? If they were convinced of his
guilt, they would convict him in consequence. as a
matter of justice to the public ; it they entertained
any reasonable doubt, justice to the prisoner deman-
ded an accrii;tal.
The Jury in five minutes returned a verdict of—
Not Guilty.
He was then; pro forma, arraigned for the rape, and
acquitted.
It came out incidentally during the trial, that the
human form was not capable of being moulded int,,
finer symmetry than distinguished the person of lkls:y
Ashford. Her age was CO: she was 5 feet 4 it=ches
high, and she was remark shly spr:slitly : all her
friends are in indigent circumstances.
The Court, though the Lsdies were necessarily er-
eluded, was crowded to excess through,ut the day.
The trial lasted from eight in the reorniog trll half-
past eight at night. —Thus the Midland Circuit closed.
