was put Nina all the notes. He believed the nute in
gw•st;.m had newer been paid away.
Richard Wills, a baker, stated that one of the 101.
notes now produced had been paid to hint by Saxwell
on the I:stli of Octolu.r.

Another witness proved that the other HU. note had
been paid to him on the 'mit of October by Mr. Sax-
well.

William Saxwell stated, that he is the nephew of
Mrs. Shepherd. lle is Isy trade a journeyman baker.
Knows ti:e prisoner at the bar. On the day mention-
ed in the indictment, he went to his aunts, and accord-
ing to a previous engagement, engaged her in eon-
t•ersatiun whilst they went up stairs. {nen he came
out, he met the prisoners at the Yorkshire Stingo,
New-road, when Hermit said they had made 6:11.
This they shared witl t resurving 21/. as his portion.
There were four 10/. notes. Witness paid his rent
with one of them to a Mr. Jones. Long lodged in

thery-by.,the Acts of another.
Long received an excellent character, and from
..01110 persons of respectability.
'Elie Jury found them Guilty, but strongly recoup.
mended them to merev.
•

On the other side, a number of witnesses, several of
tf.sin very respectable persons, gave a very different
arectint of the affair, in which they entirely exculpated
the accused, and attribnted the whole blame to the un-
governable violence of the deceased himself.
Mr. 31iNancLt. (the Magistrate), however, said he
:110041 not only detain Mr. Sturm in custody, but
should issue his warrant for the apprehension of the
other two persons said to be concerned.
Mr. Sturin's friends offered hail to any amount, but
Mr. Storm was sent to the watclilionse, to await the de-
cision of a Coroner's Inquest, and warrants were issued
against Cooley and Tuck.
On Wednesday night an Inquest was held upon the
body, before the Coroner, at Kensington ; and after
several hours' investigation, the Jury returned a ver-
dict, that the death of the deceased was caused by his
own misconduct.
The warrants against Messrs. Sturm and Tuck, and
the other person, Cooley, were instantly discharged
by Mr. Sketchley (one of the Middlesex Magistrates),
awl they were set at liberty.
MARLNOROCOH-PTREET.—Yesterd:ty the Office was
excessively filled by persons to view the pr•soners
now in custody, on the charge of attacking Marsden,
the gaoler, and rescuing the five prisoners from his
custody, while taking them to the !louse of Correc-
tion. Several fresh ones were brought up, charged
on suspicion of being concerned in tl►e transaction,
in the following order;--
Charles Woodgate and Thomas Cook, young men,
were first placed at the bar. They were apprehended
by Genre Brand and Fitrzemati, the officers, on in-
formation received that they were concerned in the
affair. Womigate, on being questioned by the slagis-
trates, declined answering any questions ; Cook said,
that at the time represented that the attack and rescue
took place, l►e was asleep in bed. 'hey were remanded,
with an intimation that they would be again brought
up na Friday next.
W. !lardy, alias W. Jones, by profession a minia-
ture painter, but addicted to loose habits, was the
next placed at the bar singly; he was in custody about
two years ago on a charge of stealing sonic siinif-
;loxes. He iris apprehended by Furzemati at an rat-
ing house in Middle row, Holborn, in consequence
of information that he was seen in the company of
some of the prisoners shortly before the rescue.
The Magistrate, F. Farrant, Esq.. questioned the
prisoner as to where lie was on the day it took place ;
lie said lie was not up until late that morning
('l Intraday); he was only at one public house during
the day ; lie believed that to he the (lettere! Elliott,
corner of Iledforilbury. The Magistrate asked whe-
ther he was not at some of the public houses, from
which several of the prisoners were taken, mentioning
their signs. He denied being at any of them, pro-
testing his innocence of the charge, and requested to
know whether hail would not be taken for his appear-
ance. Mr. Farrant hoped he was innocent, and that
he could prove it, but they had information that he
was concerned in the transaction, and they could not
take bail, as Marsden was not able to attend, when he
did lie might probably Identify him; if lie could not,
then the case would be donbtful, ■nd hail would be

received. Other questions were put to the prisoner,
and he was remanded till Friday.
Win. Jones, Kaluck, Watts, and Harris, were
brought up heavily ironed.
Jones, un his recent examination, said that Oilby,

the landlord of the house, in the neighbourhood where

he lived, could prove him to be there when the attack
and rescue took place, and a summons was granted
for his appearance, but lie failed in his attendance.
Watts complained of not being allowed the oppor-
tunity of bringing their friends forward, in conse-
quence of their confinement.
lialock requested that he might have permission to
be released from his irons.
It was intimated that the prisoners had been very
decorous ever since their confinement, and the Magis-
trates gave directions for the irons to be knocked off
the whole of the prisoners, who returned thanks.
They were informed that Friday next was the day
inten46:l for their farther examination, u hen it was
anticipated Marsden would be able to attend at the
office.

Marsh was next brought np ; he denied all know-
ledge of the transaction. He had nobody to speak
fur him. He was also remanded.
Hawkins was then placed at the Bar. The pri-
soner was apprehended on suspicion of bring con-
cerned ;be told many tales. His father, who came
forward to speak for hint, differed widely from the ac-
count his son gave on being brought up. lie stated,
that the time the rescue took place, he was at a pub-
lic•house taking a pint of porter with a young loan
named Mears, who actually came forward and swore
he had nut been with him that night. A person
named Howslip came forward, and said, he could
swear that hr saw the 1 rimier at his father's house
(who is a milkman) the same evening at the hour of
the rescue. Up swore that he was there with the
prisoner from five to six olio& ; when be left the
place the prisoner was there.
Mrs. Harriet Le Ray, of the Haymarket, swore that
the prisoner was in the habit of serving her with milk
every night, and for the last fortnight or three weeks
he had not tuissed an evening at the above hours.
The prisoner has been before its custody, and he attri-
buted hie misstatements to the confusion of being
taken at so short a notice.
Mr. Maur& attended for the prisoner, who was
remanded.
