OXFORD CIRCUIT.-OXFORD, MARCH 7.

William Archer, an opulent farmer, who has been
out upon his own recognizance, was indicted capi-
tally, for maliciously setting tire to two ricks, on the,
27th of July last, at the parish of Great Bourton, the
property of Ann Buckett; and John Naycoc, also a
considerable farmer, was capitally indieted Tor being
an accessory thereto.
John Buckett deposed, that he is son to the prose-1
cutrix, Mrs. Ann Buckett, of Great Common : she
rented a small farm there. On the 27th July his
mother had the misfortune to have her ricks burnt ;
the fire took place about two o'clock in the morning.:
they were barley; and clover hay. The barley was
of the year 1815 harvest, the hay vas of the summer
1816. They stood about half a mile from, his mo-'
ther's house, between 18 and '2O yards horn each
other. The clover rick was not thatched.: it had
been put together about ten days : it was pia tone.
Cher dry : it WAS not at all heated. The prisoner
Haycock lived in the village, and Archer lived about
80 yards tram witness's mini m% house. • 'A great
many neighbours came to their assistance ; but nei-
ther of the prisoners came. About four o'clock in
the morning witness went to trace footstep: : the grass
was wet with dew, and about 20 yards from the rick
he discovered a distinct trace tit footsteps, and he fol-
lowed the trace to the prisoner Archer's garden-gate ;
it was the trace of one person ; they were from the
rick : witness could not trace them beyond the priso•
ner's gate, because the yard was paved. John Allett
accompanied witness, and saw the lootst-ps within
20 yards of Archer's p...ne. The traces were of a
small foot, and the right one was a splay, it turned
out more than the other. The prisoner Archer has
a small foot, and at tamed out more than any per-
son's in the parish. On the same day, witness went
to the house of Smith, a shoemaker, in consequence of
information he received, and the constable who ac-
companied him demanded a pair of shoes. Ile asked
him for a pair of shoes of Archer's, and Smith pro-
duced them; they were very wet and dirty;. grass
and clover were sticking to them . the clover was
short. There was clover-grass and chive:-hay, and
the Clover-hay appeared like that of the rick which
had been burnt. The shoes had been mended. Wit-
ness measured the length and width of the shoes, vial
found them correspond with the marks on the crass.
The footsteps must have been after the dew had talivn:
Richard Buckett was from home when the fire
happened. Allow three or four weeks before, wit-
ness saw the prisoner, who said, short and sharp,
" Hang you, you shan't make a road acms my
place." Wiintss told him he would not, and would
likewise charge his family slot to do it, and I,e hoped
he (the prisoner) would not come upon his premises.
Some wards arose about a robbery, and witness told
the prisoner, " that if a neighbour saw another rvb.
bed, and did not tell him of it, he was as bad as lie
that robbed him." Prisoner said " •••• your eyes,
if you say any thing more about me, I will do tor you."
William Allett remetailavred the fire. On the even-
ing of the 24th of July be went to the Swan public.
house, and found the prisoner Archer there; he was
talking with witness's brother. The prisoner appear.
ed much agitated, and was expressing venrjeance
against some persons ; said be would do them a pri-
vate injury. Witness sat down, and the prisoner said,
."0. them Bucketts ; I will do them a private in-
jury in a little-time." Witness asked him bow they
had affronted him ? Prisoner said lie could mention
two points of Scripture to him, viz. "Do unto all
'men as you would have them do unto you." Wit-
ness told him if that were done, no private injury
would be done to any man ; and told I:im he should
