THE PRPIONERW DEPORTMENT.

INerrell's eppearanc• was that of a man who bad not the
e„,,ec,i In what was going forward. Whilst Waiting -ill.
ale psssnge before the opening of the Court, the prisoners had
11-, nit foot. Thertell ate heartily, and conversed with the waiter
-- Cm". "'Y hoy," said he, '• bear a heed, and let's have
pl,nt y t ;" and at the same time supplied himself from
ti.e trio which was hefore him. He had a German snuff box,
Vern olden he neeasinan:ly took a pinch. There was not, how-
ei tr. any teirg ire his appearance indicative of the bravo.—
Esery body who saw him must have pronounced him to be
possessed of unaffected firmness. He did not speak to either
of the prisoners. Snell was the impression of his revengeful
eiing towards Mut, that it was feared he could not be re-
...mined from making mu assault upon him in open Court.—
Prdbert was placed between the two in the dr ek. and the Ho-
verer)). of Hertford Gaol, Mr. Wilson. kept himself la close at-
tendenee upon Thurtell.who frequently addressed observations
to him. In other respects, he seemed to occupy himself but
little with the business of the Coors, occasionally taking snuff,
with Mr. Wilson, am:lvens* newspapers, of which he seemed
to have a great umber. fie often asked Mr. Wilson
the bear, as if tired of the legal argemeots of his Counsel ;
and the only remark be made while at the bar, was upon
healing the sound of some man's voice who was crying
hellade in the stryets: turtling to Mr. Wilson, who re.
cquuttentlrd him not to distract his attention by listening
to any noise outsidothe Caure--.• Oh! I dare say it is the
la,t•clying speech, some fellow is eiying." On his way

What a concourse of people are here!" In the course of
Or day-the keeper of Sesaffhain thud went over to Tim-
tell, and shook him cordialty by the band. A friend who
as with him also shook bands with Thurtell.—Hunt and
i'robent listened with great attention to the preliminary
ptocernfings, hut remained unmoved. All the prisoners
trete in iron.. While the affidavits of the Solicitors were
reedits', they were indulged with seats.

THE WITNES;ES.
The witnesses on the back of the bill of Indictment were,
as was stated by Mr. Jstlce PARK, fifty.five in number. They
sere all In. attendance la the avenue of Om Court, and each
was provided with a ticket.—Mrs. Peahen end Miss Noyes
were seated on a form immediately outside of the door by
%%hie+ witnesses usually enter. They were both dressed alike,
i blue cloth pellssee, straw bonnets, green veils, and white
gowns. They scarcely spoke to each other. Mrs. Probert
t•,oked very well, and was pert ctly calm and collected. When
the trial was postponed, they were 511 taken back to the inn,
wi.ere a dinner was provided fur them. Mrs. Probert was in
the custody of the Gaoler of ht. Alban's.
At three o'clock the whole of the witnesses were conveyed
to London by the same conveyances In which they were brought
down. Miss Noyes and her brother were among Ithem. Mrs.
Probert d d not go up with them.
THOMAS THURTELL.

Thomas Thurtell was taken to town the same evening in Mr.
Ttorris's Hertford roach, accompanied by Bishop and his as-
sistant. Ile was taken up at the gaol, and saw his brother
before he departed. He was a good deal affected, and cow-
rained of a violent pain In his heed. He scarcely opened his
lips during the journey. and was safely lodged in Newgate, at
eight o'clock, last night.
MRS. PROBERT BAILED.

Some doubts are now entertained as to whether Mrs.
Probert was to be pot back to St. Alban's Castle or to be
bailed. The Counsel for the prosecution were consulted,
and we understand, with their sanction, as well as that of
ti.e Magistrates, that she was permitted to go at large on
fluting sufficient securities. Her bail were Mr. Thongs
Jimmie, of Kingston, Surrey, brewer, and Me. Thomas
Hobbs; Mr. Knapp, the Clerk of the Arraigns, took the
bail. On her return to the Salisbury Arms. where she
bad dined, she appeared quite reanimated.
It now appears that the determination to admit Probert
as a King's evidence was formed on Wesisesday night, at
a confronce which took plater between Mr. Burney and
Mr Holland, 01 the part of tie promotion. and Mr. C.F.
Williams and Mr. Charles Phillips, on the part of the pri-
soner. It was then distinctly understood that the prosecu-
tion could Dot go on without the testimony of Prohert ;
and it was agreed ,that be should be put to the bar with the
o'ber prisoners. to be arraigned and to plead, and that the
Counsel fur the prosecution would then state to the Court,
that they bad no evidence against him, and consent to his
arqnittal; so that, by this means, he woald become a pet
fectly unbiassed witness.
THE touter Mat COUNSIL.
The High Sheriff continued assiduous in hi. duties the
whole of the day ; but in defiance of the exertions of his
<AVM, the Court was repeatedly interrnpted by the noise
of persons endeavouring to farce their way in to get a peep
at the prisoners.
The Counsel engaged in this important case, are

Though io Hertfordshire, as every where else, the tar
sex hare felt largely interested in the developments of facts
connected with the subject of these proceedings, their
curiosity did not lead many of them to be present at the
trial, or obstacles to its gratification were thrown in the
way which have oot been interposed in other places, where
juticial inquiries, somewhat similar in their character have
been in progress. One lady (Lady Caroline Lamb) was
accommodated with a seat.
