tts ;_ and after they .had dined they went lam the
it shop together. Hooey went to his box to take
. something, which he said he wanted.
MAGISTRA rx.--Where did Hazeldon stand when
Aussey was looking over the box ?—He stood on the
other side of the counter, talking to Hussey.
Maoisraara.--Could he see the contents of the
where he stood at the time ?—Yes, he certainly
.Id, if he looked that way.
MAGISTRATE.—DO you think he must have seen
hat the box contained, when he was talking to
lussey ?--She could not speak positively on that
int, but she imagined that he did see the contents.
MAGISTRATE.—What were the contents of the box?
was led by curiosity to open the box, and she
aide silver ladle, four sheets, toe I /. and two 21. Bank
England notes, and his clothes, which he wore in
common. (The property was produced by the con-1
Ibles.) The jacket then produced, the gaiters,
`le and the hat, were the property she four.d in
..e box,' and what she delivered up te the constables.
The gaiters were marked with blood, as they ap-
axed at that time, also the jacket ; the shoes were '
iso marked with dark spots ; they were then in the
'uation she found them in, and she knew they were
apparel of Charles Hussey. She believed that no
person but Charles Hussey had been at the box dts-
ring the time it was in her house.
Mr. Ousten, the landlord of the Tiger's Head, was
,xt examined, he stated that Hussey and Hazeldon
'ere at his hoase on Saturday, the day preceding the
siscovery of the murder, about three o'clock ; he did
not see either of them after, until half past ten
;lock, when he saw Hussey in the Lodge-room.—
'hat became of Hussey from three o'clock until ten
could not say. Hussey slept at his house on the
iturday night the murders were committed, and left
soon as he had breakfasted next morning.
MAGLSTRAT&—Were not Hussey and .Hazeldon in
:ustody of the constables (Larkin and Hodges) at
rour house, a few days after the murder was disco-
rered ?—Yes, they were ; and the constables exami-
Aed them, and discharged them without taking them
before a Magistrate.
MAGISTRATE.--.Did you not then say that both
'ussey and Hazeldon were at your house all the
Sight of Saturday, on which the murders were sup
posed to have been committed ?—I can't positively
say the precise words I told the officers ; but if I did
say so it was under a mistake.
Larkins and 'lodges declared that the witness did.
most positively say to them, that Hussey and Hazel-
don were in his house all the evening, and night of
Saturday; when the murders were committed.
The Magistrate severely reprimanded the Consta-
les for not bringing the prisoners before them, in-
stead of taking
.upon themselves the office of Magis-
trates, to examine and discharge prisoners; and the
itness, Mr. Ousten, was censured very much for
Leading the officer: into an error, by speaking a false-
hood.—Mr. Ourten said he was sorry, but it was
luite an error what he said.
The evidence of Mrs. Goodwin, of Peckham, Hus-
sey's brother's wife (which we have already given)
was next read ; the only additional part worthy of
notice is, that she said that Hussey and Hazeldon
had been together to her house, and that she fo'und
the watches belonging to Mr. Bird in Hussey's box.
Mr. George Martin Bird was next examined. He
seemed much affected at the sight of the blood-stained
property. He identified the watches, the silver ladle,
and all the other property, except the Bank notes.
H. Larkins, Constable of Greenwich, stated, that
he found the property produced, except the watches,
at the house of Mrs. Woodward, in a box belonging
to the prisoner Hussey. The watches were brought
to Greenwich by Mrs. Goodwia, of Peckham.
James Hodges corroborated the above evidence.—
He added, that when he took Hazeldon into cus-
tody, Hazeldon said that he was in company with
Hussey on the afternoon of Saturday night when the
murder was committed, and also on the following
morning, but he denied having any knowledge of
the transaction.
John Vickery, an officer of Bow-street, was then
sworn and examined. He stated that on the 2d of
April instant he was examining the prisoner, and
the paste ring he then produced tell from his boot, as
he was in the act of taking it off, for the purpose of
searching him. Hussey then informed him that he
found the ring, with the other property, in Mr.
Smith's ground at Greenwich.
Mr. George Martin -Bird identified the ring pro-
duced, as the property of his late father.
Henry Adkins, Bow-street Officer, produced the
ring which Mr. Poulton, of Deddington, delivered
up on the examination at Bow-street. The prisoner
said he found that also among the property, at the
back of the Greenwich Academy; in Smith's grounds.
The inscription upon it was—" To the memory of
six children."
The evidence of Mr. Lutton, of the Greenwich
Academy, was then read, (the chief part has already
appeared) the only part worth the mention is, that
Hussey and Hazeldon, frequently came together,
after the murder, to his house, and cleaned them-
selves, their shoes, &c. and often eat and drink to-
gether in his house ; indeed, he believed they were
nearly always together, and had been companions
for a considerable time.
Mrs. Lutton stated, that Hussey and Hazeldon
were frequently together at her house, within about
a week, and between that and a fortnight, after the
murder was committed. Upon one occasion she re-
membered Hussey entering the house at the back
door, with a bundle ; she was positive it was on Sun-
day afternoon, the day the murders were discovered.
Hussey went to the privy before he entered the house,
and he took the bundle up the back stairs into his
room, and put the contents of it into his box, with Out
she having an opportunity of seeing what it con-,
tained. Hussey afterwards came into the front roam,
and sat with her and her husband ; he appeared to
have been drinking, but he was not very much in-
toxicated ; her husband asked him to send for a pot
of beer ; he refused for a long time and said that he
had no money ; her husband, in a joke, called him
a shabby fellow, or a near stingy fellow, or some-
thing like it, and he then took sixpence out of his
pocket, and sent for a pot of beer. They had some
conversation about the murders, and Hussey spoke
about them without the least concern ; he left the
house between five and six o'clock, and said he was
going to Peckham, to his brother's, where he had
promised to dine, but had disappointed them, for be
had dined at his washerwoman s, where he had bete
