THE MURGBtt Ertot tOATFORD.
FURTHER PARTICULARS, n I 11l CORONER'S INQUEST ON
THE BODY.
In addition to the particulars of yesterday, the following
facts Dave reached us:—
. As soon as Hunt made a confession of what he knew of
the assassination of this unfortunate Gentleman, the Magis-
trates, with great promptitude, requested Mr. Noel, the
Solicitor, Itutloven, and a number of officers to attend Hint
to the pond, where the corpse was concealed—Hunt went
in a post-chaise, accompanied by Rutliven, and on arriving
near a pond, which is on the side of a lane leading from
Radlett to Battledore Green, in the parish of Altlenham,
Hunt put Isis hand out of the chaise, and said " that is the
place." A drag was provided by Mr. Field, the Landlord
of the Artichoke, at Elstree, and a man threw it into
the water, and drew it out without finding any thing.
Hunt called out of the chaise, " it is not there,
but further that way" (pointing on one side of the
water). The drag was again t'irown in, and the body of a
matt, enveloped in a new sack, was drawn out, placed on a
ladder, and carried to the Artichoke public house. The
• following is an accurate description of the corpse when ie
was brought out of the water. The head, and as far as the
abdomen were enveloped in the sack, the body having been
thrust into it head foremost ; the feet here tied together
with a piece of cord, to u hitch were appended a pocket
handkerchief filled with flint cotes, about 30 pounds
weight. Another cord was tied over the sack, round the
waist of the deceased, to which was affixed a very large
Hint stone, and in the end of the ss, k a great number of
stones bail been placed before the body was put into it. The
Magistrates gave orders for the body nut to be examined till
theory were impanelled ; and yesterday morning, when
the Jury, with the Coroner, took a view of it, no one
could bs certain, thoegh very little doubt could possibly
exist, that the deceased was Mr. IVea.re.
On the night (Friday) when this murder was cotninitted,
Probert and Hunt arrived, about eight o'clock, at the Ar- •
tklooke, at Elstree, in a chaise, and stopped there drinking.
till about a quarter before nine o'clock ; they had five on&
shilling glasses of brandy and water,and then went their way.
It is believed that Probertywho could not be actually present at
the murder, as it was perpetrated about the hour of right
o'clock,weut to the Artichoke at the time the murder wasbeing•
committed byJohn Thurtell, for the purpose of being seen
there,that he might be able to provean alilil,tfthecrime should
be found out. When hunt was returning from the pond he ad.
dressed himself to Mr. Field, the landlord of the Artichoke is
the following words:—" I and Probert were sitting under
the tree in front of your house for an hour. on the night
of the murder, oiriakiug—You know this "r" Mr. Field
replied in the affirmative. Ilunt continued: " Peahen
wanted me to sin.', but I was so very "muzzy" (drunk)
that I could not. Mont was then conveyed to St. Allian's
Gaol, and the CORONER issued stimmouses for a J ary to
assemble yesterday (Friday) morning, at the Artichoke, at
Elstree; and the Magistrate gave orders that Hunt should
be conveyed where the inquest was appointed to sit, and
also Thomas Ttsurtell and Probert.
After the evidence was taken before the Magistrate at the
Essex Arms Tavern. Watford, on Thursday afternoon, John
Tbartell was brought into the room, and the whole was reea-
pitula at the conclusion, he said, " 1 wish to ask Hasa a
question." The Magistrate told him that be could not be per-
mitted at present to confront Hunt.--John Itturtell then re-
plied, " I wish to ask him where he was on last Tuesday
night." lie was again informed, that at present he could not
be allowed to see Hunt. lie then asked leave to write to r.
Sergeant Vaughan for his professional assistance, oh eh wan
instantly granted, and he was conveyed to Hertford Gaul.
