IIIt--. have been represented to you as a man who was given to -gambling, - nnd the constant companion of gamblers. To this accusation, in gome part, my heat wiith feeling penitence PeInla guilty. I have gambled. I have been a gambler, but niot for the lasgt three years. During that timne I have niit attended tir betted upon a herse-race, or n light, or any public exhibition of that nature. If -I have erred in these T1hTris,li alf, ot-.the nobility of the land. have been my xaleze; some of the rmost enlightened statesmen of the -country h Ye been my companions in them. I have indeed been a gambler..4- have been an unfortunate one. But whose fortune, or -whosefsnly fued. from it? MVy. own family were the only cvIllerers-my own fortune wass the onily sacrifice. At this nivelit I feel the distress of my situationi. But, gentlemnen, let not -this misbfrtuine entice your verdict against me. Beware of your own feelings, when you are-told by thie highiest authority, that the heart of man. is deceitful atbove all things. Beware, gentlemen of ano anticipated verdict. rt is the rema~rk of a var - sage n experienced writer, thiat no man becomes wicked a~ at once. . And with this, which I earnestly requeat yoa to bear sn i mind, I proceed to lay before you the whole career of my life.- I will not tire you with tedious repetitions, but I will disclose enough of ney past life to inform your judgments ; leaving it to your lemnency to supply whatever little defects you maay observe. youl wdi consider mly misfortunes, and the situation in which I tatnd-the deep anxiety that I must feel-the object for which I have to strive. You may suppose something of all this; but oh ! no lines, no pen, "1thmt&b dippe in hues of Heaven," can portray: my feelings at this crisis. Rlecollect, I again entreat you1, nty situation, and allowm something for the workings of a, miud ifttle at ea,se ; and pit anti forgive the fauilts of~ my ad. dress. The conclusian of the late war which threw its lustre upon the fortunes of the notion generally, threw a gloomy sha- dow over mine. I enteredl into a mercantile life with feelings as kind, and with a heart as warim, as I had, carried with me in thie service. I took the commercial world as if it had been go- verned by thie same regulations as the army. I looked upon the, merchants as if they had been mny mess-companions. In any trans. actions I had with them my purse was open, my heart as warm, to answer their demands, as they had been to my f-ormaer associates. I need not say that any fortune, however ample, would have been in- sufficient to meet such a course of conauct. 1I of course, became th& subject of a commission of bankruptcy. Miy solicitor in whior I had foolishly confide-d as my mnost particular triend, I. discovered, too late, to have been a traitor-a man wiho was foremost in the ranks of my bitterest enemnies. But for that man, I sholstd still have been eenafiled to regain a station in society, and I should have yet pre.. served the esteem of my friendg, and, above all, my own ecif-reapet. Buit howi often is it seen that the avarice of one -creditor destroys tie clemency of all the rest, and for ever dissipates the fair prospeets of the unfortunate debtor. WVith the kind assistance of Mlr. Thomas Oliver Ilingfeida, I obtained the signiature of all my creditors.to a pa. ?itioa for supereeAing mv bankrurptcy. But just then, whlen I ilsttered mnyself that my Ill fortune was about to close-that mv blosorns. were ripening-there camne " a frost-a ni'p 'Ing firost5)' lifv chref creditor refusedl to sia unles he was psi a bonus of SOLi upon-his debt beyond all the outher creditors This demand was bacloidl by the man who was at the time his andI my solicitor. I nurneiVihe offer-I awakenedl his resentmnent. I was cast uo rie world7zin-Y alldispos,,ed off-in the deepest distr,ess. M1y brotherr afterwards aVnuled himself ofny misfiortune,and entered into business. His vrarehoueSt were destroyed by the accident of a fire, as has been proved by the ve-rdict of a' jrentrial at which the venerable Judge no' resent Aded. But that acciaent,unfortunate asit was,has been taken advantage of in order to insinuate that he wagt guilty of crime, because his Kroperty was destroyed by it, as will be proved bytheverdict of an oneat and upright jury in an action tfor cons,i. racy which will be tried ere long before the Chief Justice of the_ King's. Bench. A conspiracy there was-but where? Why, In the nctiIs,f the VrPmieo htslitr abr-BAmn,who-Was: guilty of suborning witnesses, and will be p roved to have paid for false testimony. Ye.s, this professed friend of the eggrieved-th~is pret"de pro,~-cctttor of putblic abuses-this self.appointedl suipporter. of the lw,who pandlers to rebellion, and had the audacity to raise its standard in the front of the rovyal palace-t-his man., who has just head enoughi to contrive -crime, Xint not heart enough to risk its con. sequences-.thiS is the real atuthor of the conspiracy whiceh will shortly undergo legal investigation. ro these particulars I - have- thought it necessary to call your attention, in langoage which you, umay think petliaps too wvarni-in terms not Go measured, but thst~ they may incur your reproof. But - "The flesh will quiveriwhere the pincers ter "1The bloodl will follow where the Knife is d'riven." You have been told that I in tetidedI to decoy Woods to his destrune. tion ;, and hehbas said that he saw main the passage of thehonie,. I. can prove, by honest witnesses -fellow-citizens of my native city of Norwich, that I wuas thecre at dit time ; bnit, for thte sakeof anamji- able and innocent female, who rn!ght be. injured, I grat to Mr,~ Woods theinercy of m-ysilence. Wben,, borethisdid`it everfaWl to the lot of any subject to be bomrn down by the weight of calumny nnd obloquy which now oppresses mc -? The press, which ought to bh the shied ofpublic liberty, the avenger of public wrongs-whiclh nbove all7 should have exerted itself to preserve the purity of its favourite institution, the trial byitury,-has directed its whole force to my injury ard prejudicc; it haslheapedslander upon slander, and wvhetted the putilic appetite foridanders more atrocious: nay morc, -lhat in other men would serve to refute and repel the shaft of ca- lamnye is made to stain with a deeper die the villanies ascribed to me. One would have thlouglht, that some tiime spent in the service of my conntry would havc entitled me -to some favoutr from the priblic under achatyc of this nature. But no; ihiimy case the orler of things is changed-nature is reversed. The acts of times long since past have been made to cant a deeper shadow over the sets at, tributol to me within the last few days; and the pursuit of a profession, hitherto held honourable aniong honiourable men, has- been turned to the -advantage of the atecusation against rre. You hiave been told, that after the battle, I boasted of miv inhumanity to a vanquished, vieldiug, wounded enes rov-that I madc a wvanton sacrifice of m'y bleeding and suppli_ caiingrfobe, by strikiing him to the earth with my cowardly steel ; clnd that after this deed of blood, I coldly sat down to plundgr my sfnha;py victim. Nay, more-that with fplly indescribabl6 and in. crelible, I boasted of mny barbarity as of a victory. Is there an English officer, is there an English soldier, or an English man, svhose heart wwuld net-haQve revolted with hatred against such base. nr-sa ad, folly ? Far 'ttter, gentlemen, would it have been for me, lather tl-n haye seEn this day. to have fallen with my honourable c-mpa=ions, stemin, end opposing the tide of battle upon the field of i;ny country's glory.1'Thin my ftd~adm TziY hui they wouldt have mourned my loss, wtouldl have Olessed thy mne- mory, and shame wo'ild never haVe- darb,enca me -with a suspieion.I Before'I recur to th'e 'eviaenkcebrogt,igt'nist nylife, I wis-t retufli my mn !sn6e4e th;anks to' deihSrI 5"Ad the iba&'s erates for ~ ~ er -I cannt b *fejgiea regretait a slight ~5isna,t siaug i,bch asOCC' tWeen the~Rev.*i~ Llqy4 the iitigistrate, ond. ry ioliqltor., As:it wtas nothing more tbaftra msttcsada,Itutleed of fliendship are again ratilexl bet*ee us5 Afll MY most Ofiililotie~ gristitud&'isdue ito the N~ev.

IVeare. Pro. bert tells you that I was gohib to kill him becaute he had robbbed me of some hundreds. Can y'ou believe me to be sa e Vriously foolish ? He gay's ~'that I told the man to-stop for me at 'a cer'tain .place. He aftnits that the mfan Wma,s b t~ne bth to h'hi 'and hi-s wif, and that he haid never stopped 'at th,e cottage he- fore.

You learn that Prohert de. sired tha't 203. might be given 'to 'Hqnt, .in,cae be-went down in his own gig. You Also learn that 'he gevehlimi 'mbney to procure a loin of pork on his 'wav- down. Isi this niot the coniduct of rmon engga ins aoint business? I believe, thoutxh I 'abnnt speak with certain. t,tat VreAre was designed to be the saerificeof the fatal spirit' which then possessed them, and that I also was to haye become' their victim. They had well prepaed thens'rlVes for the deed by; the quantity of brandyvantdwaterw wich they'had taken. Prob6rtteIIs! you thatland Hun slpt on the sofa, aLtO ill's.bill-lane.Beiso Probert has admitted that he fnvitgd us down without havfing siufEicient a4comnxoadaon to receive us. Why we put.pp with 'the sofa is clear. Aliss Noyes was sleeping iii the only spare bed. Wtthat else could wit have done under the circumstance? 'As to the evidence.of. that' was t4ken out of' the bsg, I have no observ.. tions to make. upon it, h~cause, if true, it. is peribetly consisteaq withi my innocence. The evidence of the conversation spokent t by- Probert caries its. own refutation. Wus' it likely that 'I- should trust matters of such great 'and 'a*ful:aitger to Probbrt whe says he had no knowledge of mny design'? l'robert ~adds.' 2ia I:en. 1f-,,e1t wx hhmwy ittutsiuirws 'uiurdcr 'Mr. P'4TQQ 'DeautoOnt ana. lIlY. Wood, the latter being on the verge of - =lnar,g with .Mrs. Probere's sister. Is' it credible that I zhould: in.- trust such a secret to Probert, above all men on 'earth?' Ob- serve, too, the contradiction in their testimony.. He says that WVardle's field waes the place where the body was first deposited. Mrm -Probert says; that it was first taken to the stable, and then draggdtthpo. He says that 'there w4s a lantern.' Mrs. Prbet ays that 'it was finie mroonhEcht, whichi is contrary to the evidence of all the other witnesses.Wa will be your sur-prise whenyou ear tha th garen-ate s On o.ne side of the hous, th stble n' te oher,and hatthe wvallir'froma. the stale o te pnd s ot o b sen fomany part of thie house Probrt aysthathe id ot et u net mrnig till nine o'clock. 'Wht tuthisthee, n tis Prber sas hat oo telling me what he had heard at Mr.Nicholls's,I said "Te lam sbaked."And yet it appears that I returned to'town and lived where I did thep receding week, with doors and drawers unlocked; aptua)ly posting te marks of my guilt. Probert says that Hunt came down in) Airty clothes; and it is proved that he' was aftlerwards seen isa clothes belongn to my brother. Probert tells you that the,boy was sent away, wiha the truth, and that it was becas~e he rmight not be in the way tq answer questions. 'What' truth' is there in this ? You learn that Probert wa3s going next day to quit the cottage, and that regular no. rice had been given. I have no more remairs to offer on this cold. blooded witness. Vou will receive with caution thieevidence of such a man, when in his croos.e)aniination he con&isses that he did not think of giving evidence uritil. Runt hadl confessed. Then commenced the strife between themr 'which should make otct the strngest case to deserve and obtain the snecy of the Crown. After imuch prevarication, Pr.Qbext said' 'tht he did not come downd till niine o'clock the next morning. Re tliit refu15ed to sweat that' it was go late as eight o'cloclt: his boy swea;rs that it wFas not seven. You w'iWlnrt fail to remiark the 'character of. bthis' w'it,' ness, as it was wrung from him by the. cross-examination of Air. Andrews-that he h4d b^.en dommnitted to gaol six or seven times, and that he had been freqi;entlv remanded by the commissiopers in his bankruptcy. He'proved himself that he had introduced -Hunt to me: for what purpose is now only toe plain. The evidence of Mfrs. Probert, genitlemnen, is nio less epei) to discredit. You :cannot have forgotten, the accunt she gaive ofseeing'the horse come from the.itable, whien, from the subsequent p art of her examination, she admitted that she could not see the stable-door. That witness lies als deaild log cnvesaicn whchshle -ays shle heard al. thoughit wascondueed in his~er, and Ithg the .door wjid intevend wa sht.

The appearance of the ground is accounted for, because shle has said that potatoes wvere growin there; 'and they 'would 'of course be dug~ up before she left the 'premises, 4s alma was about to do wheii the circumselances to which ~he s'peaks are supposed to hiave takenplc. It has beeni stated, too, that the boy w'as stripped, And takea out at'the side of thte pond. I could not' learn fromn thje evidence at whiich aide ; but an engraving in theObscrver ncw,xpapcr, of the 9th of Novemiber last, represenata itas being on that side op. piosite to which 'Al. Prolhert said she heard thie bod'y dragging. rhe evidence given by Probatt, the horse-k-eener, seems to moe, gentlemen, to deserve your most serious conasideration. Froni his t$tirony, you widl perceive it is beyond all' doubt that Hunt hired the harse easo gig ; ~it is' proved' no less clearly that he provided every thinwgwhich aws necessary for the occasion on which he was to employ htmself. The witnesS Fleet has proved, too, that' Hunt took the shawl; and Probert has himself' told you that he supplied him vwith th'e sovereign vhich'was to 'pay hls e"penses. I; now caU your attention to tbe evidence of Clark, the person keeping the White Lion at 3dgeware; and this I beg you to examine most sacrupulously. You well remember he stated, tat as he was 8ctum. ing home at night he met a gig on the wrong side' of'thq road; that a coach was at the same moment passing alofig, by the lamps of which lie was enabled to distinguiRs my persoi.' Now,'gentlemen, I ask you wheLher yDur own experience does, not coGnvince you tbat this is altogether fasce? rknow, and everyotherman who will take' the trouble of reflecting for a moment on thecstatement, must xtl's know, that it must be false. (n'a wide Tend as thiia is stated to have been, ina dark night, itwuuld be.impossibleforaperson passing be.- tween a coa'chml lamps and a gig on the wrong aide of the road, to distinguish thc features of the mnain the gig. You know very well, that under such cir6wnstances the lanmps wbuld rather have been' a hindrance than-otlerwise. And yet, in the face of this ab. solute impossibility, the witness Clark has sworn that he was able to disesn my person, and'to see that a gentleman was sittii'rg upon my left bamd.

All this mieght be true of an acessory before 'the fact, as well'as 4fter it; and it was 4.rgued by the counsel 'for the Ctown, that tan't imust have had a 'guilty kno*ledge of what waLs intended 'to be done, bef=r it was 'actually effected; and that he received thiuse atrticletaa 'reward or douceur fbr the` part he had 'takenin tfiis transaction. T-he next witness was 'Henry Simmons,' coist4b~e ot Watford, 'who ' produtced the pistol and knife which wrere foand bict the spot wbere the murder- was, confimitted, adid also a box 'anid gold chain, which he had received from Mrs. Probert. The'I firmer jets the fe]llow to the pistal. found 'on Thurtell. William Probert wAs the next evidence, anai certainly it 'was, in every point ,of view, most imporuint. He camae forwvard in the character of an* acoompli.et, and certainly hiis coniduct had been most base, in being, privy to th`e commiselon of a miurder, and concealing it.. He spoke of' Thurt,U.iiasbeiinga very intimnate acquein'tafce~:as.apIerson who was in the habit of coming down to sport, and who was rveel ac-1i quainted wvith all th roads ini the neighbourhood. This -was AnInIvortant point ini'aaswer to that part of the dtfence whicli rested oni Tharte1l' alleged ignoranee of the country, from which it was assumned that he miight have 'mnissed his way idnt proceeding to the cottage. Sdmestress had beep laidb'onthe Buddenness of Thurtell's visit at' the cottage but lookinKt to the intimacy between Thur.. tell and Probert, it was not surprising that he saoultl go downi, with- out: an invitation, and even that he should take a friend with him. The singularitv of the case Was his having said, withouit hesitation, as was statel ini evidence, ;1If Weare comes down, I will do him,I 'for he ha's donei me out of: several hundred pounds." TIhurtell, it appeared in evidence, when he proceeded for the cottage, left the Coach and Horses public-house in a gig alone. The.gig, it wvas stated, was drawn by on iron-gray' or roan horse, witha white raee. I luiis-circunsiseace was ver imorit, as it was most clearly proved thitt'such aliorse~a ieh J h 11unt. This fact was sub- stantiated by prisosfoeon a by the little boy (Addis), who gave his evidenceete lywl.Sm of these persons ,deposed as to the colour of tehreiedbHunt, and the boy, Addis, prov- ed that the horsewihdwtegg in which Thiurtell arrived at 'hiis isaister's vottaea ih,wso thesm ecito of colour.

The learne4 Judge, in pursuing his observations on tj'e evidence ofl?ro- bert, referred to 'the evidence of Clasrke a~nd 'Field, thepublicans, as ~orsioborative of what hatd been sworn 1y Pr6bert, And pointing out a completelink of evidence.' The leaLrned Judge icdentally al- luded' to that part of 1Mrs. Pr-obert's evidence in wh ich she described Huint'a h'avinF talents fo'r singing. [ Here Hunt placed one of his hands before hiafacee,swayed his head from side to side, and exhibited all the aippearance of'extreme diskreis. The eyes of the whole Court wereattracted tow4rdshirn, whilsthe exhibited'this perancie, which contiauedfor tw6o attriireeinutes.HetlfenresumedhrisoDmposure.1 The general 'eft'ectof this evidence (of Probert's) went to show that Huint was aware of'the vaeiouts facts of which it imnputed to hinrt e guiflty knowledge; 'articul'arly that part which regarded the drv- cumstances that tosok place wvhent Hunt and Probert stoppea to drink aethtie Artichoke. - The boy (Addis)j proved the coming in of the three parties together.to him (Addis) in the stable. First of all Hunt came in' by himself, bibt having gone out, he returned accom- paniedaby Prob9raandThurte11.

They said thiey were going to Mlr. Nicholls's, and they stayedl nearly an h6ur. Now let the jury ask themselves )yhat these Atsen'did'duriiig'this tjfie ? fidi they in fact go to Mr. Nicholl-s's ? 'Mr. NiTclholls, en his cross-examina'tionr, suid he wras at home all this while; that he was never out on that eveninig; and that neither Mir.

How came - they, then, into this' cottage and into the prisoner's possesion ? - If the jury'- believed Pro. bert, it 'was very clear that the mnurdered man had' -brought thein down ini the gig 'with him; but the boy a-nd the-womexrt differed as to whether Thurtell or Probert'brought-~them in%o the cottage. A gun was- seen in the gig by Probert's ho ;ad irs that gig to the cottage Thurtell caine alone.' Probert and.- i~ thet otheryprisoner at the bar, came in Probert's gig. and these, conse-. quently,were circumstances all of them- requiring io be accounted for. Thurtell...4teg to say, my liord, ithat that guri of min.e was sold. by,public auction, at a sale of Probere's effects. -- - he Covrnw.-Tbat fact does not appear in evidence.

The jury 'witob. serve, that what the -prisoner may o'bserve to the Court mnerely, is no evideRce iar itself. In adverting to Thurtell'a saying lie - 'was bage," on Probert's informing him that cries of' murder wee heard near- the lane on the Friday, and l to Pro- bert's observation that he was-afraid the business would ruin him, the learned Judge expressed a wisih that Probert had.-acted up to this h'is i'mTession, anid had sent for some magistrate, whose interferencee miight have prevented some of the ac'ts that subsequently-rook place.. Unfortunately, all this conduct of Probert's had been, undoubtedly, mnost intfamous, and was not to be deftaded. The story about going to Probert's pond, taking out the bodly, disposing of' it for the time naked on -thBe green swa-rd, returning, for the gig, and puttinF it itx thercenvelope in the sack, Huntiirthemeanitime remaining ithe parlour-this was confirmed by the evidlence of'-Mlrs. Probert, 'who raw Hunt, as-she thought, and Thurtell diaggping something weighty through thegarden,atud afterwaitds4verheard them and-hernhusbafid in the- arloiir, whispering. She also tlhought sheheard themtrrkJng on clo les.' Now the jury would hear by-d-odby-,whether any per- son was afterwards seen in the deceasied's dl6thes. ' Mrs. Probrt also overheard them tell her husband, "1that thoynimust say to the boy, that a hare had been lad on theqgigseatyand -tha t they liad had a hare made them a present of." ~Tis looketl abKif some. blood had been spilt in the chaise, end that it was thought necgssary, -by a false story, to delude the boy's - mind as to the, -m40er in which it had been, ocatioqned.-, erarTyidlM of tluWt'TTh,ir Tuel si ehad his revenge. At this part of the evidence there seemned some alght degree. of con.. fusion;- for one or two facts wvere spoen to- by-others, whereas it did not appear thiat, ext.epting Hiunt, Probert, and - Tliurtell them.. selves, any body but Mis. Probert 'was up at this time. -Thurtill.-Will you allow-mne, my Lord, to call the Sheriff'now, in order to prove that my gun was sold previously at a- sae of Pro.. bert's goods ? The CouxR...-You don't mean the High Sheriff, prisoner, ofC course ? Thurtell...No, my lord ; the Under-Sheriff.- .5r.

The Under-Sheriff.-Certainly there was t aIouble.ban-elled gun sold under an execution levied'-on 1Mr. P-o~ert's_Foods Whether that gun belonged to you or not, I cawn-ot say. WVe supposed it to b.e the property of.M1r. Pro'bert. The JUDGE.--."

Again, the eidence as to the spade, which' had been'given by Probert, wan strongly corroborated. A new spade sourchased, it was said, to bury the deceased, andc which was brought'd6wn in the carriage-that eon.. hayd buetend Thomas T-hurtdll to Probert's abus& on- the Sun-. dyhab-enproduced. - Thomas Thurtell sivore~ that -when thley- arrived- there, it w~si thrown over th-e garden-wall. Then as to H-unt's 'wearing clo6thes 'ihich bhad belonged to i te deceased, it 'was not 'ikhely that Hunt or the firisetihtrThurtell should say any thing aboutthat fact in the hearing of indiffecrent persons. But that Hunt 'ent -uplon theSetndav,dtesed in suchedothes,there could be surely scarce any doubt wbatever. And this received some degree of confirniation from- the circuimistance under which be 'went downL with the two Thiirtells-to the cottage, and'from the throwihg;of the spa~de. The learned Judge then-observed upon this observation oC Huts-"1 Probert, they can do nothing'-with you or mne either, be.. ecatise neither of uis'was at the snurdei." The Court availed itself' of1 ths tpruly - t6n observe -again, that 'such -wvas the erroneous. doctue hc the -mrinds of'imen, such' as Hunt appeared to be, 'were apr to' entertain. He seemed erroneously- to sup. pose, that -if he did not actually perpetrate the -murder, b whe N not liable to the punishment -'of the law.

As to thle 'accosn~ pvhich Pro-bert ihad gi ven of Iihnself, his transactions, and his conducfi, f4ie Ccrtu could do no more than repeat,in thie'sttrongest manner, its ut.N renobation of his conduct. whrich had been most disgracefuLl.eI yierecl that he had been; brought ui before the Commrissioners of 'nnrUpt si or seVen tiMes ; and th ey highly respectable wimMess, Mr. Wadeson, being called, proved thiis fact, anid his comn- initial; but the same gentleman's evidence showed that the comn- mnissioners mnust have been satisfied at least, because Probert ulti- mataly passe-d his examination. The jury were not quite aware, perhap2, of the nature of those pxoc-eedingts; but it was sufficieut'for Th'e Couart to observe, that the presumption muist be, that thie corn- enoinxaers hadl been finially, satisfied by Probert, or else they would ct hare pcsed him. He deposed that he could recollect no playin~ aS cards in the cottage on the Sunday. Now the fact, though.di - s'erently stcaed by another witness, might be so, although the jury couldinot give credlit to any decorous or conscientious feeling in Pro. btert'a mind, as hiav-ing deterred him or his friends from an action T.hir-li was, on Sunday-, highly improper, withiout doubt. On his, i'Anther cross-examination by another counsel, Prob!ert stated. chat ha bad met the prisoners at Tetsall's rnore than a week bef?,re the night of Friday; and had known Hunt more than twzelve moinths, having himself introduced him to Thuirtell. The peric which was purchased in Oxford-street, Probert swore to hare bean paid for by Hunt, and the sum he does not remember to ba-re eve:r repaid hiim ;neither had he, on the othier hand, ever anpplied to Hunt fox the remainder of -the 20s. he had given him at Thur-tall's request. Now, neither of these circumstances could create any surprise in the minids of the jury; for all the parties ap. peased to have since engaged in transactions,- of which the history 'wa.s to full of blooashed and atrocit-y to allow of any calm recollec. tie of~uc peuniarv matters. Probert admitted that he saidi to Mr. ranlin theclegymn, ad u tothe day of his going before the r-ad jry, hatHun andhimelfwere innocent of the mur. der nd vey lik It ws, th Couti toht., that he did say so.

Htunt, again, migh hv,said to Mir. Frankliii, whons the Court believed to be a most respectable officer of the county of Her-tford, that he was or was not guilty.

The evidence of Thonmas, Tliurtell was exce-s- sirely important; for lie swore, to his recollection, that on the 24th cif'Octnher-, his hr-other John (the prisoner) andI Hunit dined at Teestl's; and] lie rememibered, be thoighlt, thlat after- dinner Hunt broughlt a sack, with him aiid a gigg to the door.

The teamned Jtzdlc next reMarked, thlat the fact of Hutnt having ahav-ed off' his whisters after the 215th of Ozttober,as mentiionedi by the wites RleXT7othy, meritedi thie attention of the jury. He n'iight abc.,ovvrta Re-xwortisy was not a man whlose clharacter waq zI,f the best description. He wasq the keeper of a houise appropriated to b;Iliard.plaving, and he (Mlr.

The next winriess, uport whose evidence he felt it rnecessary to reninrkc, sr-as Johin tRhcpherdI, the servant of Alr. Probatt. Shephierd swore, that whien hAuint came to his masvter's yard to hiire the gig, he sitatedi that he was ginirg tal take it to DrTtford.

The evidence of ,hr-. Probatt shlowed that Hunt hiad a most tilepraved mind. His language wias coarse andl bnital, snd he talked of muir. ciar ast a matte r of indiffebrence. MrT. Probatt's evidence didl not meeyprove that Huint indulged in declamation, for if it had gone no tuoflear thani that, he woutld have felt it his duty tc prevent it from belting laid lmefore the jury; hut Mr. Probatt stated that H4unt on one occasios; took, a pistol from his pock-et and '-aid "This is thie boy to do blisiness." lIIe wouhld leave it to ttime tirv to for-rn their own judgment of suchi a proceeding.

Mr. Justice PAOK.-I do not see what reason you have for wvish- inz the fact to he stated, if it were so, Thurtell said something which was not very intelligible, about Probert having confe-ssed tofive iena in the gaol that he had planned the whol affair in conjunction with Hunt. Mlr. Justice PArxs observed that be could not understand what the prisoner meant. Thur-telL-There is another thing, my Lord,- -Mr. insurie PARic said that lie couild not permit the prisoner to coniment on the evidence. Thur-tell said that lie did not wish to mrake any comments, but merely to offer an observation. Mr.' JUStice PARiK told him to communicate what he wished to raw to his counsel. 'Thur-tell accordingly spoke to his counsel, who afterwards address. cad Mir. Justice Park in an under tone. .1r.

His Lordship then pro. c:adcd with his 'viece' of the evidence. Hie observed, thiat James Freem'an hasl deposed, that on the evening of the 25th, lie saw two getlemnen going fromn Probert's cottage in a gig, diawn by a white. facr-l horse. T Ihur-tell again interrpted hisi Lordshiip with an observation, this pu-rpoirt of w7hich was, that Freeniani, in his deposition before the ma;zisstrntes, h ad sworn that the honse was of a ditTerent colour. Mr. Jusfie P~ARK referred to thie deposition whilch Freeman had rzadc before the magistrates; and then observed that the prisoner's aseertiona was quiite unfounded. He had diescribed the lhorse on that czasicnG p-recisely as he hah dlone before the Court. Thur-tell said hie alluded to tIme deposition ofMirs. Freeman. Mr. Justice P Aurt said, that Mrs. Freemani hiaa not been ex- anained ; and the Court could not contrast evidence given by a wit. -ess who lied not been exaniined there, with that given by a wvit- =mcs examin"d elsewhere. He understood, however, that Mlrs. Freema--n had beean called for the purpose of affording! thle prisoner's co-a=te1 an opportunity of propuding some qluestion to her, hait she had not appeared before the Court. " I have now, gen- #k7ren, gonet through every fact of the evidence byv which rour consid1eration of this case aught to be governed. Among t2se wi!nesses called by the prisoner Thurtell, is Mr. lVadeson, a o resectable salicitor, who, upon being exalmined has told you the, from his knowledge of Probert, lie would not believe cnv thing he should say upon his oath, unless it was confirm. c-d bv some other testimony. To the same question,- from whatX have seen of the witness Probert, I should have retuTned a ssuhTar Enswer. I would not believe hinm, unless his evidence c-Ps cronfirmed. You siave heard the respective addresses of the pr.ioners, and they will have such wveight with you ais they enerit, consideriug at the same time the depositions of the wit- esses far the prosecution. You will remember, gentlemen, that -th pnisanrThurtall is in one respect distinguilshed from the pri. ssner Hunt, as the foTmer has called three witnesses to his character. Of t.ee, C,aptain hl'Kinlay, a most respectable officer, was oiie, ,iot whoe knowlde of the prisoner was of an ancient date, If t-ht san-meman bad known him since 1814, as he knew hiim before, znd if be could have given him the satne character for good temper --; Fimianity during the lapse. of nine yeats between that penod - --the present, then his tewtimony in the prisoner's behalf would tee entitled to rnuch greater weight. The other tuwo witnesses, Mlr. Ifaycdun and MIr.

His objection,w4s, that tile trial of the pr'soners had been held on the 6th of, January, the feast of the E piphany, and wa-s therefore, as lie was preparedl to show, altogether illegal. His argument-wvas foundedl upon a statute' of 5th and 6th of Edward VI., whichi he then read. The Dreamible set forthi, that it was the dlutv of Christians, at certain seastins of the year, to cease from- all labour, and to apply themselves to holy works. It was thierefore enacted, thiat on all Sundays; anid on the feast.days thereafter mentioned, aitl public and other business should be suspendedl. Among these days waus mentionedl the feast of the Epi- phny; and by the samne set a puinishmient was provided for the oender. This act wvas -repealed in the following reign of Queen Alary, and was re-.enacted in th, reign of her successor, Queen ELix- zabethi. The learned cornsel then quioted a passagfe from Dr. Blurn's tieclegiastical Law, in which it was stated, thiat offenders againsitthis statute might be nunished by fine and imprisonment. Among the holy days mentioried in this act,that of the " Epiphany" was, of all others, entitled to peculiar respect. It was tle- day on which the birthi of the Saviour was made mianifest, and therefore, amonig Chiristians. possessedI the most holy character. In a late case in the C-ommon Pleas, (Mlar tin v. Goold, 7th Taunton, p. 316), wvhere a motion had been made against the sealer of the writs, for not sealingacm e drsodna on the day of the Epiphany, Sir Vicary Gjibbs said, that these dayvs shouild be kept sacred, and that no business shiouild be done on them. The learned counsel went on to arguie, that. as it was the duty of every person to at- tend divine service, and to aseist in' the holy offices of re- ligion on this day, all business that miglht be transacted oTn it woul(l be in violationi of thie statute he hiadl quotedl, and therefore uinlawfuil. There were decisions in the books, thait if a Court wvere field by custom on Alonday or any other day arm which Cliristmas- dlay, shouild happen to fall, it must be piostponed, or all the proceed. ijugs would( be carmn nron judie..

Wh'lenever any allusion wvas made to lIis famiily, lie seemed to be nineba affected. Thsellisnr Hunt declined to address the Court. - Mr. JusticePARK liaviiig put on the black coif, addressed the prisoners as follows : "John Thurtel 'and i6sej-I ~ ~ 1 l, et- fair, and, -I trust, uin impartial trial'by a jury of your country', you have been. found, I thiink withi great propriety, guilty of the of- rences with which you have been respectively c arge-yout, John Thurtell, as a principal in the mutrder, and you Joseh Hunt, as his accessory. It cannot but give to crysry feeliong mionsdedeep regret, that a person vwho has this day shown himself bornu for batter things, and who, I hope, in earlier life. received impr6u%ions of virtuec from hiir parents, shiould have committed so detestable a grime';fo,nt withistanding the assertions of innocence which you have; ove~rr and over again made, I, wbocan only jtidge like all other mo lrtl fom time evidence before me, am as fully satisfied of your guil,a if I bad seen yout commnit the crime with my mortal eyes.

The Rev. Mr.-Lloyd was inan adjoiting room, but did not present himself'to the prisoners.- ' Whenthe irons were fixed, lr. WVilson, according to the usual practlee after condemnation, searched the prisoners, buts nothing-worth particular notice was' found upon their persons. On opening ThurtelPs' sniff-box, which was taken' for theimoment out of his waistcoatpock'et, it was found to be empty, he-turned round to Bishop. and said, " Bisbop 'have you any snutf you see my box 'i empty ?"

The room' in which -Mr. YFiLop placed Thurtell little cone.- sponded with jhe idea form'ed-by-thebfrequenters of Newgate, of a condemedcell. Itwam large, spaciou6s, and airy, lighted by a iamp and caidle, and'wgrmed bya comfottable fire. Three or four pri- soners are' ordered to -attend him constantly; and as an.-additional precaution, handcuffk were apulied to bim. His books are a bible, prayer-book; and one or two other volumes, containing religious copssolatico.. As seoh as tbe.a*rangements- for his foinl confinement were made,the Chaplain of the. gaol waited upon him. .Thurtel1, struck by the presenee of the gentleman, whose appeirance-(as he unifbrmly expresslid it) consbled him, burst into tears, and 'for, the first time since his imprisoniment, minifested the warmest -and most agitated seiise of hiri deplorable condition. The Chap- lain, as'we understood, expressed the gratification he felt at find- ing this happy change, in ThurtelUs demeanour, and impressed in the strongest manner the necessity of his availirg himself of the few hours which remained to him, to offer up his contrition and pray- er for merev vhewe alone he could now expect it. Thustell instantly, I with his.eyes suffused in tears, declared that his contrition was sin- cere, that he forgave the world, and implored the merciful forgive- ness of God. His manner was fervid and impassioned, but at the same time free from. any whining afftctation of tnerc pcni- tence, or tremulous, appredhensoii at -the near prospect of the newv seene into which he'is about to pass. His declaration of contrition was at once manly and resigned; fand his manner so unaff'ected and solemn, thatit was calculated to inspire very great interesuin his fate, notwithstanding the dreadful circumstanecs of his -now established and admitted crime. He said tbat death to him, after the misery of his late mode of life, Was a reMief, and that he could go forth with the firmness of a Christian to his fate; but he added, that domestic' recollections-the anguish of the surviving members of his family,a3d- particularly of a mother and^sistcr,whose instructions and society would,if adhered to, have made that life respectable which woild only now be remembered with sbamne- these were, he said; the reflections which overwhelmed him with grief and sOrrow. He was now readly to resigrn himself to. any preparation for-isis fate, and more particularly with a gentleman who had never appreached 'him; as others had done by letters, to tamper with hig feelings, but to gompose and assuage Iiis affliction. The attendants were struck.-vith the altered mannerof thc prisoner, and more affected, aln1ost4ban he was himselef lie became calmer after his interview with .thie Chaplain, and his flrmness stbsided into: a decent resignaidon; he repeated his readiness to. meet his fite as soon as possible,. hope& for the forgiveness of his family, and- the ohlivion of his'dffences. .
