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 Hazeldon were in his house all the evening, and night of Saturday; when the murders were committed. The Magistrate severely reprimanded the Constales for not bringing the prisoners before them, instead of taking .upon themselves the office of Magistrates, to examine and discharge prisoners; and the itness, Mr. Ousten, was censured very much for Leading the officer: into an error, by speaking a falsehood.—Mr. Ourten said he was sorry, but it was luite an error what he said. The evidence of Mrs. Goodwin, of Peckham, Hussey'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 custody, 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 produced, 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 themselves, their shoes, &c. and often eat and drink together 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 remembered Hussey entering the house at the back door, with a bundle ; she was positive it was on Sunday 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 intoxicated ; 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 something 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
