- " lUB ^ ARMOUTIl MURDER . jfoawica , Feidat , Maecu 27 . —Samuel Yarham , aged 20 was p laced at the bar this morning at ten o ' clock , and p leaded " not guilty" in a firm voice and unembarrassed air to an indictment charging Uim with the wilful murder of Darrixt Candler , at Yarmouth , on the ISth of November , 1 SW , by inflicting divers mortal blows oiiher head with a hammer and cutting her throat with a knife . Mr . Palmer and Mr . O'Malley were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Daseut defended the prisoner .
It hang announced that this extraordinary and interestin caS ? , about which the whole county had been for so many months agitated from end to end , would be takin this morning , the Crown Court and all the avenues leading to it and the County Court generally were thickly thronged with men , women , and cbi'dr ; a . all eager to bear the trial and witness the expected conviction of one whom , it is not perhaps saying too much , they one and all firmly believed to have been mainly , if not entirely , conce rned in the atrocious murder in question . In order that the evidence now presented ou the part of the Crown may be more clearly understood and its weight appreciated , it may not be amiss to premise that the unfortunate deceased occupied the lower part of a bouse im Yarmouth , the residue and upper floors of which were
tenanted t'y an attorney named Caichpole , the prisoner ' s wife being his servant , and the prisoner allowed , as htr husband , to live on the premises , where he carried on his trade of a shoemaker . From her penurious habits Mrs . Candler was generally known to be possessed ot money , a & d J'erhaps that knowledge was shared by tho prisoner , who , as she sold grocery and tobacco , was , as weU as his wife , a frequent visitor in her shop . Behind her shop was a parlour , and then a bedroom , which opened on to a yard , divided from the yard of Mr . Catchpole bj a low wall , there being a . higher outer wall , which formed thelineof the adj # ining " row , " or street . This being the situation of the premises anil of these persons , it seems that Mrs . Candler received a parcel from Kornich not Ion » before her murder , which contained a
large sum of money This fact was known to many persons , and to one friend she stated her intention of paying it over to some gentleman at Beecles . This design she never lived to carry into execution , for the police , on going their rounds at two o ' clock , discovered that her street-door was open , and behind the counter they found the dead body ot the poor obi woman , crouched under the place where the till ought to have been . On her head were several frightful wounds , which appeared to have been inflicted by some instrument like a hummer , while her throat was cut in a manner quite sufficient to cause death . Underneath her body was a half-ounce paper of tobacco , which indicated that the murderer had distracted her attention in all probability b ) pretending to to buv that article , and had given the first blow nhibt she
was in the act of serving him . A further search led to the discovery of a caudle on a tub , which appeared to have been " nipped" out by the fingers , and the till , which stood in a corner against the drawers . On the table was the half finished supper of the deceased , and her bed presented the appearance sis if some one had sat down on the end of it . There being no immediate clue to the murderer , the police made a noise with their truncheons , but without effect , and it was not till the superintendent came and rang Mr . Catchpole ' s bell with great violence that any notice was taken of them by any one in the house or neighbourhood ; as soon , however , as the bell rang , XarhampntMs bead out of tie window of his bidroom , where his wife was lying sick , leeches having been applied to her head on that night , and on inquiring what
was th ¦ ' matter was informed , and asked to come down . He then called his master , and they both went dowu stairs , and learned all the police knew . In answer to several questions put to him by the police and Mr . Catchpole , Tarham , who had sat up for his master , and hud let him iu at half-past one o ' clock , stoutly insisted that he bad not heard any noise during the night , though the parti , tion between the passage which separated the shop and the room in which he sat was very thin indeed ; so much so , that bis wife said she had heard a conversation between her husband and Mrs . Candler on that very night about nine o'clock , when he had gone to buy some rushlights- ThuUghno SUSSieion alighted atfirstonany particular individual , yet the observation of all Yarmouth was on the qui rice , and the anxiety of the town was
shared by the wife and daughter of an old artilleryman named Dick , who was stationed at one of the batteries on the "Denes , " a large sandy tract stretching out to the sea and the mouth of the Yar from the town . It being well known that thieves were in the habit of secreting stolen property in the sandhiUs which abound on this plain , the attention ef Mrs . and Miss Dick was keenly excited on the day after the murder , as they were going honitwards , and they on their way noted a hill which had recently been disturbed , and was approached and surrounded by thefoot-printsoftwomen . On looking down Mrs . Dick saw a piece of string sticking up through tie sand , and polling at it she discovered three bags , which on being examined were found to contain gold , sUver , and copper money to somelittle extent , and nodoubt
formed part of the old woman ' s money , for one of the bags bore an address to her , and was afterwards identified as one which bad recently been despatched to her , with canary seed , from Norwich . While Mrs . Dick and her daughter were so engaged , Mr . Dick , Mr . Tooley ( taiUer ) , and a man named Royal came up . Without going more minutely into the circumstances of that interview , or those which afterwards came to the knowledge of the authorities , it rasy suffice to state that they weredc 3 nied sufficient to warrant the arrest of Yarham and the man Royal , together with two others named Mapes and Hall . These parties were all brought np frequently before the Mayor on the charge of murder , and the Dicks were most prominent witnesses , their testimony going to identify the foot-prints on the sands with two of them .
Eventually the four men were all committed for trial , and just before the spring assizes for 1815 it was announced that Yarham had made a . statement which implicated the other three men , and that he would be allowed to give evidence against them . This he accordingly did , denying all participation in the offence , and stating in substance that he had by accident seen the thrte men come from the shop on the night in question , and that Iloyal had , in presence of the two others , admitted to Mm that he had killed the old womam . After this he added that he went into the shop , saw the body , and then repaired to hisowu home , where , after having admitted his master , he retired to bed . The effect produced ou the public and the Court by this statement was by no means so unfavourable to the prisoners then on trial as it was to the witness himself .
The tormer called several parties who proved otitis for th «< n , and they were acquitted , while the latter was discharged and met on the hill by the taunts and hootings of an enraged populace , who pursued him to a publichouse , and so beset him that he was smuggled away and crossed the river secretly at night near the railway Station , whence on the following day he returned to Yarmouth in company with the Dicks and some other witnesses . His situation at Yarmouth was not more free from public odium than at Norwich . The police were frequently called out to protect him , and at last he applied to the Poor Law guardians for funds to
facilitate his departure from a scene so oppressive to him . This aid he applied for on the 18 th of April , the trial having terminated on the 9 th , and on the 22 nd be received £ 3 , with which he departed . In about three months after this a communication was made to Captain Love , the superintendent of the borough police , to the effect that Mrs . Dick was in the possession of a full confession made by Yarham since the trial and before his departure , and the matter being inquired into , it was deemed proper to act on the communications of that person . The result was that Yarham was apprehended in Gloucestershire , and fully committed to take his trial for the murder of the deceased .
Under such exciting circumstances it was that this second trial came on , and many of the facts above stated by way of introductory explanation having been proved on this second occasion , or referred to as proved on the former trial , we at once proceed to the evidence on which taischarge exclusively rested , ane ! which was as follows : — William Botwright : I am assistant at the Black Swan . Mrs . Candler came therefor some beer on the night of the murder , at a Utile after eleven o ' clock . Mr . E . Worship , surgeon , of Great Yarmouth : I was called up in the morning of the 19 th to go to Mrs . Candler . I went and saw some policemen ; Sergeant WilUamet was there . My attention was called to a body behind the counter in a sitting position . There was a large wound six inches long in the neck . The windpips was not cut through , nor were any large veins . . The wounds in the
bead were five in number . The first was on the upper or tight side of the head , and one through the scalp had driven in a part of the brain . The next wound I obsen ed was on the top of the nose , and three other wounds on the top of the left eye . Great violence appeared to have been used . The bone was driven into tee brain . There was blood behind the counter amounting to t . vo pints , which came from the wound in the neck . The fore-finger of the right hand was sliced off . At the time I examined the body she must have been dead two or three hours . She was partly cold , and quite stiffi The wounds she bad received I have no doubt occasioned her death . The wounds in the head were eaough to occasion death , but not instantaneously . She might have lived an hour two . She might have survived the wounds in the neck if the thers bad not been inflicted .
William S . Catchpole , examined by Mr . O'Malley , deposed : I am an attorney , residing at Yarmouth . In Kovember , IS 14 , I resided in Howard-street , aud knew Mrs . Candler ; she occupied the lower part of the house . It was a separate occupation . lors . Yarham was my housekeeper . Mr . Yarham was a shoemaker , and worked in a room at the back part of my bouse . Ou the night of the murder I went out to dine . I told Mrs . Yarham I was going on the Monday morning . I told one of them to sit up for me . I returned home about hatfpast one . I rang the bell , and it was answered immediately by the prisoner . I kept a Scotch terrier dog . It was a good watch dog . I left it at home , and when I
came back the deg was with Yarham . There was a candle on the stairs . I went into his room , and there was scarcely any fire . I retired to rest soon after . He said nothing to me about a noi-e . I heard the bell rin " about two o ' clock in the morning . The prisoner came to my room and told me to get up , as there was something the matter at Mrs . Candler ' s . I got up , and we both came down stairs together . After I had been iu the shop , and looked about the money , I went over to the Black Swan to get some tea . Yarham came about live o ' clock . I sent him over to my room to get my suufi-box . When he carnC hack he said his wife was frightened , —there was somebody up the chimney , I went over with L ' ales and
- " Lub^ Armoutil Murder. Jfoawica, Feid...
examined all the chimnies in the house , and found nothing . Yarham said all the morning he was wide awaku all the time , aud heard no noise whatever . About eight o ' clock I heard Yarham and his wife talking about thu murder , and she said her husband had been in for some rushlights , and she could hear all the conversation that passed . A few days afterwards I had some conversation with Mis . Yarham . Yarham was present . She said , " Don ' t you remember saying to my husband in your dressing-room , « I have got nothing of Mrs . Candler ' s here , and I don ' t suppose you have . "' I said I did not think I said so , and asked the prisoner if he did . He replied , he did not . On another occasion he told me he went upstairs , once at elcveu o ' clock , aud once at twelve o ' clock , on the night of the murder . He said he thought he might have frightened his wife when he came down at eleven o ' clock .
Cross-examined : Yarham and his wife had lived with ine from June or July . He was recommended to me by a tradesman in Yarmouth , and I have always found him stvictly honest andiudustrious . I always thought him a very quiet man . I never saw him with Mrs . Candler . I came home at half-past one o ' clock , aud the first noise I heard was the ringing of the bell . My house was examined several times . On the first time Yarham was taken up and discharged ; I took him in my service again , until he was apprehended a second time . George Laytou : I keep the King ' s Head , at Yarmouth , now . At the time of the murder I was a pcticeman . I remember on the night of the murder being at Tooley ' s-
buildings . They abut on one end of the South Marketroad . I went along the road to South Market-road . I remember turning on my lamp to trim it . I was close to the Turners' Arms , and kept it turned on for fifty yards . I crossed the road leading from the Mnrket-gatcs to the Deues . Ther « were carts standing at the corner that obstructed my view down the street . I then went down the Market-gates , when I met a person who I have no doubt was the prisoner at the bar . He was going towards the Deues . 1 know Mr . Harvey ' s premises . The direction that man was going would lead to that way . lie appeared to be dressed in a coat with pockets in the hips . This was just before a quarter to one o ' clock .
Sarah Dick , the wife of John Dick , of the Town Battery : On the morning of Tuesday , November 19 , 1814 , I went to get some iiuen . At half-past two I carried some linen to Mr . Shipley ' s , and on returning home I said to my daughter , who was with me , "Let us see , the boys have been hiding something here . " I put my hand there , and there was nothing , and followed the feet a little further , whem the feet stopped . I said " There is something here , let us see ; perhaps it is the old woman ' s money . " 1 went dowu ou my knees and began to poke the sand away , and I found a bag buried , and which jinked as though there were coppers in it . Mr . Tooley ' s men came over from tkeir aiUI ; my husband also came up . I was far from the battery . Royal came up last . My huiband pulled the bag out of the hole , and said it was the woman ' s money ,
because the ticket was on it . Royal said there ought to be more yet , and he put his hand in and pulled out a small bag with some gold and silver , and he wanted to count it . My husband said it should not be counted ; my husbaad said he would carry all ; but Royal would not let him . We all then went to the inquest together , and gave them to Sergeant Williamet . There was a broken bottle and mug •• ear theplace , as if for a mark . I was at the battery in the afternoon after I came from the court ; amau came up to me , and was at the place where I found the meney ; he was poking at the hole . He walked up to me and began to talk to ntc ; hehad dark trousers and a blue coat buttoned np to his neck , and a high hat , and I did not know him then , but have since ascertained it was the prisoner . The man said , " It is cold here , and you need
have good fire . " I said , " I would keep better if I could afford it . " He said , "Your name is Dick . " I said , "Yes . " He said , "You found the money . " I uaid , " 1 did . " He said , " All you have to do now is to find the murderer . " I said , I wish to God I could ; I would walk twenty miles to fiuiit out , though I was lame . " He then said ( moving his foot ) , *•! am the murderer . " I said , " If you are the murderer you would not tell me ; what is your name ? " He said , "You know nnr . " I said , "I do not . " He said , " Yes , you do . " I said , "If he would tell me I would tell the gentlemen . " He said , " You know me . " He then walked away as far as the hole , then turned round and looked at me again , then proceeded towards the town . I told the Mayor what had passed , aud the Mayor said it was only somu person
tampering with justice . I said , " I should like to see Yarham . " He said , " It could not be him . " I was afterwards examined before the magistrates , and when the other persons were examined I looked at the dock , when b-. fore the magistrates , aad thought I knew him , but could not recollect who it was . There was a young man ia the battery at the time the man spoke to me , and he told me the mat ' s name was Yarham , and that was why I asked to see him . After the trial , I and my husband went home by the train , when we saw Yarham and his wife . He tried to shake hands with my husband , but he refused . I said , " Good God , if that be Yarham , that is the man that spoke to me . " Attar I got in the carriage , Yarham ' s wife asked me if I thought the people in Yarmouth would think she was the guilty party if they
stopped or left Yarmouth , I said , "God knows , you know your conscience best . " When the prisoner first came up to the railway station , he said to my husband , "Don ' t you know me ? I am Yarham , but call me Mr . C , " and offered to shake bands . When we were going along , Yarham said , "Mrs . Dick , say as little about the money as pussible , for my solicitor told me that the prisoner ' s solicitor wanted to fetch me in the murder , aud you as the person that helped me to hide it . " I said , " Dick , doyou hear what Yarham says V and my husband came up , and the prisoner told him the same thing . Oil getting to Yarmouth , the prisoner said , "Dick , if I see anything in the paper that would affect you or your wife ' s character , I will let you know . " My husband said , " Don't come to me , I don ' t want you , I take iu the
paper . " I saw him again at the top of the market on a Tuesday , either a fortnight or three weeks after ; it was between nine aud ten o ' clock . He came up to me and said , "How do you do ? " I said , I don ' t know you" ( 1 didn ' t for a moment ) . He said , "Do any of these three fellows interfere with you ? " I replied they did not interfere with me so much as they did with the girL I said , "Do they interfere with you 1 " lie said , "No , they know batter , but the people plague me so much that I cannot stay here ; I have been to the workhouse to get money to go away . " I said , " I think you ought to have spoken the truth at first , and things would have gone better . I think you are either tho murderer yourself , or know who did it . " I thought I bad no right to say so , and I turned to leave
him . He said , "Stop , and I will tell you all about it . " I stopped , and he said he was not so much to blame as they were , for they never let him rest after thsy heard that Mrs . Candler had got the money . He said he heard Mr . Catchpole was going about amongst the Angels . 1 said , " Where is the house ? " He said , the Angel Inn . He said they came to him and asked him to let tbem in . He made a bargain with them not to hurt the old woman , for they bad time enough to get the money in the time she was getting the beer , as she was generally a quarter of an hour gone . He let them in at the back door , except Royal , who watched about the time she went for the beer . He told them to go into the bed-room , for that was where she kept the money . While they were there the woman came in sooner than usual . He was upstairs ,
and on hearing Chandler come in , he put out the candle and sat on the bed . Royal went in . She said "What dojyou . here ? I know you . " Royal asked for half an ounce of tobacco , and the time she was getting it , Royal aud Hall knocked her down with the pincers . They thought she was dead . Mupes ran out to a woman on the other side of the street , and said " All's right . " He asked if there was any noise at the Swan . She said , " I will go and see who is there . " She said there were several people there . They all then went up Black Swan-row , and saw several people there ; one of them was a young man who they thought must know tbem . Mapes then ran home to the Feather ' s Tap . As he was going along the Market-gates he saw a person turn a
light on him , who afterwards appeared to be Lay ton . He then ran home , telling the others to bury the money and give him the signal when it was done , as his hous : would be sure to be searched first . When he wenthome he saw the woman lying in the shop . She turned her eyes on him , and , seeing a lard knife lying by her , he took it and cut her throat . I said , " You are the murderer . " Prisoner said , " So , she could not live , she had been beaten so much by Iloyal aad Hall . " Iloyal gave the s ' gnal , and he opened the window and saw Royal go down the street , and the policeman Waller coming down the other . There was a man came up then and hit him on the shoulder , and said , " Are you going t" and they both went away together .
Sarah Dick : I am daughter of the last witness . I lived in 1844 at the Battery . On Taeseay , the 19 th of November , I remember a man coming and spoaking to my mother ; there was a boy iu the Battery Who told me the man ' s name was Yarham , —the prisoner at the bar is the man . I remember going to Norwich after the trial ; Yarham aud his wife were there . I know him to be the same man that spoke to my mother . My mother told me the conversation she had had with Yarham , and I told Mr . William Yates , the magistrate , about it . There was some disagreeableness between my father and my mother , and I asked her the reason . She then told me all about it . I told the magistrates , because I thought it was not a proper thing to be kept secret .
TVilliam Seaman : I remember the 19 th cf November , 1844 . I was at the Battery . I looked out of the gate and saw a man whom I knew to be Yarham . I told Mrs . Dick so when she asked who he was . 1 had known him before . He lived at Mr . Catch pole ' s . I had seen him there when I swept the chimnies . John Dick : I am a gunner of the artillery , and I remember finding the money . I was at the trial , and in Die witnesses ' room , but I did not see Yarham then . I saw him down at ths railway station . My wife said something to me . I told her to have nothing to do with him , we had had . trouble enough . Some time after , my wife was going to tell me some conversation with Yarham about ir , but I refused U listen to her .
Mr . Dasent then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner . The learned gentleman said , —Had he not been present at that trial lie should have declined the brief , which had only been placed in his hands on that nioruingat nine o ' clock ; but having a general knowledge of the case , he did feel that it was his duty not to shrink from the task of defending a man accused of so heinous a crime as that of murder , for lie considered that every member of the bar held himself out as the advocate of the accused under whatever circumstances his services might be required . He trusted that the jury would cometo their verdict with the firm determination to administer justice , without lisUniug to the suggestions of prejudices
- " Lub^ Armoutil Murder. Jfoawica, Feid...
imbibed from newspaper reports , or conversations on the subject of tli * triM , —without yielding to the ue staeto shield a murderer as the object of undue sympathy , on the one hand , and without rushing blindly , on the other , to a conclusion that the prisoner was guilty , merely because he was charged with so odious a crime as that now under discussion . The learned counsel then entered at great length into an examination of the evidence adduced today , contrasting it with that which had been adduced on the former occasion , when it was the object of the prosecution to make their case chime in , and coincide with the evidence of the prisoner against other parties , and commenting en the gross impropriety of the witness Mrs . Dick , who had ou that occasion kept back so material a fact as the confession of that very witness whom she was then assisting in swearing away the lives of three felloy *
creatures . If evidence of so material a character as the conversation with Yarham at the Battery had been kept back by Mrs . Dick and her daughter , who were the most material witnesses on the former trial , and were called to corroborate Yarham's statement , and that too with the sanction of the Mayor and magistrates of Yarmouth , who could tell that even now the jury were in full possession of the whole caso ? It might be that even now there was something kept back to suit the purposes of the present case , and if such a state of things was possible it was the duty of the jury to put a stop to it by declaring testimony so tainted to be such as they could not adopt . These observations were strictly applicable to the first interview with Yarham ; but if they were well founded thejury might easily sea that no reliance could be placed ou the marvellous confession after the last trial , which
came from the same polluted source , and must have been concocted by Mrs . Dick after she had _ acquired the knowledge of the facts intended to bo disclosed in it for the first time , and from some sinister motive , which a clever , designing woman , couMeasilj'j keepseerttundei'anj * crossexamination , however searching . The accuracy of such testimony could only be tested by its probability , and if those statements were to be tried by such a criterion , he felt convinced that the jury , as reasonable men , would reject them , and come to the conclusion that their verdict ought to be one of acquittal . Mr . Justice Maule then summed up the whole case to the jury , and in so doing drew theiv attention to the various points of corroboration which were to be found throughout the evidence * and which were said to tend materially to throw an air of truth over the important
testimony deposed to by Mrs . Dick . If she was believed , it was admitted that the case was proved , and it was for thejury to look at the whole circumstances and to judge whether she could have come into court with a deliberate design of swearing away the life of Yarham , who had ctrtainly done her no injury . If he were guilty ef this murder his offence was very great ; but if she were guilty of such conduct as had been imputed to her , her crime was far deeper than his , though tte punishment might be less . Yery strong comments had been made on her having omitted to state the first interview on the first trial ; but that evidence was not material to that issue ) and she might well agree with the mayor in thinking lightly of it . Those observations , however , only applied to that interview , and did not afteet in any way the second station and the third in Yarmouth , which might well
revive the recollection of the first , and give it an importance which it really deserved , and an explanation which it required to make it available . T in whole case , however , was one peculiarly for the jury , who would deal with it according to the impression the evidence had made on their minds . If they believed Mrs . Dick , they would find the prisoner guilty , but if they doubted her veracity , or saw any reasonable ground to distrust the story she told , it would be then their duty to acquit the prisoner , who bad received a good character , and was therefore entitled to all the advantages of such testimony . The jury retired to deliberate for upwards of a quarter of an hour , and at the lapse of that time their foreman pronounced their verdict to be that the prisoner was Guilty , Proclamation was then made for " Silence , " and
The learned Judge , having assumed the fatal emblem of death , proceeded to pass upon the wretched man the last sentence of the law for " the crime of most deliberate murder committed by him upon a most inoffensive person without any provocation—without anything to excite illwill towards her , and for no other cause than the desire to possess himself of tho small sum of money which she had accumulated . The crime of which he had been found guilty had not one mitigated feature in it . It was without excuse and without palliation , and possessed no feature which could remove it from that class of crimes which ev « n in the opinion of those most averse to the
punishment of death deserved its infliction . Under such circumstances , it would be the greatest folly to waste any part of his few remaining days on secular affairs , or to allow his attention to be drawn from the most important business of all men's lives—the preparation for a future state . In that work he would doubtless recei e the ready aid of good and able men devoted to such service . " The learned judge then concluded his most impressive address by earnestly exhorting the prisoner to : ivail himself of that aid , as all worldly concerns must now be entirely vain and useless , aad adjudged him to be hung by tho neck till ho was dead .
The wretched man , whe had listened to the trial with close attention and to the awful sentence of the learned judge without evincing any emotion save a slight and occasional quivering of the lips and eyes , was then removed from the dock , while the shouts of the populace on the "hill" resounded in his ears . Intent to Pbocobe Abortion . —Satubday , Mabcii 23 . —Sarah Whisker wag indicted for having administered to Frances Railey a quantity ef a certain poison called white hellebore on the Sth of March , with intent to procure abortion : Mr . Burcham conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr . Prendergast defended the prisoner . It appears that the prisoner , who is a beldame of between 30 and 40 , is esteemed as a " cunning woman " iuthe city of Norwich , and that she was visited by the prosecutrix on aday previous to that named in the indictment , for the purpose of having her fortune told . The wreteh soon elicited from the girl that she was in the family-way , and directed her to come on the Sth of March , when she would give her something which would " do
her good and not interfere with her work . " The appointment was kept , and the presecutrix received from the prisoner a powder and a liquid , which she took according to the directions which accompanied them . The result , however , was far from satisfactory , for she tell siek , and , being obliged to quit her service , resorted , very wisely , to medical aid for relief . The surgeon then called in , and a chemist , who proved that he had frequently supplied the prisoner with small quantities of " white hellebore , " were now examined , but from lack of experience in " poisons , " were not enabled to speak dccidedly . as to the fact whether that ingredient was or was not a poison , and the prisoner was , therefore , on tho point of escaping " seot-fro . " The learned judge , however , hearing that Mr . Scott , a celebrated practitioner in this city , and surgeon to the gaol , waspreunt , caused him to be examined , and from that gentleman ' s evidence , founded on his more extended experience , the whole case was fully made out , and the prisoner was duly convicted and sentenced to transportation for life . With this case the business of the assize terminated .

Romantic and ExniAOHWNAnr Smcibh op Two Loveks . —On Saturday Mr . Baker held an inquest at the Edinburgh Castle , Regent ' s-canai , Mile End Old Town , on view of the body ef John Warren , jun ., aged 20 , a young man of respectable connexions , residing in the neighbourhood , who committed selfdestruction by drowning himself in the Regent ' scanal . The melancholy catastrophe created more than ordinary interest and sympathy amongst the inhabitants of the locality , owing to the circumstance ef the sweetheart of the deceased , a yo'ing woman of considerable personal attractions , named Caroline Beale , aged eighteen , having only a few days previously committed a similar act of self-destruction near to the spot where the body of the deceased
w .-s found . It appeared that the deceased and the young female , Caroline Beale , agreed to take tea in Sunday night last , with an acquaintance of the young woman of the name of Amelia Bane , living in Rhodc-well-road , Liniehouse , where the deceased went , according to his appointment . Caroline Beale did not arrive till some time after , when , on seeing the deceased , she remarked to him that she knew he had been taking tea with Amelia , and that if he preferred her , she would have nothing to do with him . She was in a very excited state and loft the house , but was induced to turn back a part of the way with deceased . She , however , again ran away , and was seen no more alive . The deceased returned to the other female , and said he had no doubt Caroline would come back when she became more collected . About nine o ' clock the same nightas policeman
, M'Grcgor , K . 291 , was passing the Edinburgh Castlo , he saw a bonnet and shawl upon a stone , forming the boundary mark between the . iarisUea of Mile End Old Town and St . Anne ' s , Liniehouse . lie obtained the draas , upon which the body of the deceased was discovered , which was taken to" tho Edinburgh Castle . The deceased , on hearing of tho melancholy death of his sweetheart , was inconsolable . and on seeing the body , clasped it in his arms , and exclaimed that ho wished he had followed her , so as to have prevented her self-dc-truetion . From that time he fell into a state of despondency , and daily visited the corpse of the unfortunate female . The previous night ( Friday ) he called at hi-r mother ' s to see it , being in company with Amelia Bane and a young man named Frederick Cook , who lrosdirectcd not to leave him . Deceased afterwards called at a
public-house wherehe said he had to meet a person . Cook and Beale were in the parlour when the former fell asleep . Deceased took the opportunity to leave , and went , it is supposed , to tho Regent ' scanal , as shortly after his hat and coat were found upon the same stone on which the shawl and bonnet of Caroline Beale were placed , by the same policeman , who instantly obtaining the drags , got the body out , and which was also conveyed to the Edinbur"h Castle . Mr . Willis , surgeon , then attended , who tried to restore animation , but without effect . Verdict , " Found drowned . "

Execution Of Wicks. At Eight O'Clock On ...
EXECUTION OF WICKS . At eight o ' clock on Monday morning the extreme penalty of the law was carried into effect u pon 1 nomas William Wicks , aged twenty , for the willul murder of James Bostock , his master , on the ICth ot hist month . Dming the interval which has elapsed since the exertions were made in his behalf , Wicks was desired by the sheriffs not to entertain a hope that they would be successful , and , in con seqvienee of this , when informed that his fate was inevitable , early last week he betrayed but slight emotion , and very shortly after that rallied and maintained his firmness to tho last . On Saturdav , the last day allowed for the unfortunate relatives " to visit and take leave , his father and mother visited their unhappy child , and the final parting was most distressing , the wretched parents
tooling mostacutely the miserable situation they were in , especially as thev had not seen each other for years . On Sunday tiie convict attended the chapel , but as the preaching of condemned sermons , as they were called , is done awav with , the rev . ordinary , in the course ofhis discourse , but slightly alluded to the crime for which he was about to suffer . About half-past seven o ' clock the sheriffs and undersheriffs were in attendance , and about ten minutes before eight o ' clock they entered tho press-room , where Wicks was pinioned . To the sheriffs and under-sheriffs , and the other authorities , he gavo his thanks lor their kindness and exertions in his behalf , and again acknowledged the justice of his sentence , as well as his deep regret at having taken away the life of his master . Everything being inreadiness , the
convict walked with a firm step to the drop . Precisely as the hour of eight struck , the chapel bell was heard to toll , being the signal that the fatal procession was approaching , and the tumult ami cries of " flats off , hats off , " that ensued , baffles description ; in less than a minute the authorities approached and took their station near the scaffold ; the prisoner then mounted it , preceded by the Rev . Mr . Davis , the chaplain , with a firm step , and wholly unassisted , taking up his position under the fatal beam . The prisoner ' s pale and youthful appearance , being under twenty years of age , excited the utmost commiseration , and was the signal for loud aud continued yelling of execrations against the authorities , mingled with cries of " Shame , shame ! " " Where ' s
Johnstone ? " which continued during the whole time the fatal preparations were being completed . In a short time , the cap being drawn over his face , and the rope adjusted , the wretched culprit was launched into eternity , and in a few seconds ceased to exist . His struggles , although of a spare and light stature , did not appear to be great . From all that can be ascertained , youthful though he was , Wicks appears to have been one of the most hardened criminals ever confined within the walls of Newgate . Ic may be satisfactory to those few persons—if anysuch there be—whomight conscientiously have desired to spate the wretched man ' s life , under the impression that he was not master of his own actions when he committed the murder of which he
was found guilty , to know that prior to his execution he made a full confession ofhis guilt , not only of the actual murder by . shooting his muster with a pistol , but also of having long premeditated the crime , and of having purchased , some weeks previously , a knife for the express purpose of cutting his master ' s throat —a determination he subsequently changed to thatoi shooting him . It appears he had also intended to shoot the foreman employed by the deceased . It has also transpired that even within the last few days he contemplated and laid a deep scheme for carrying into effect thft \ auvtav of the young woman with whom he was intimate for some time past . This person , it will be remembered , gave evidence on the trial which in some degree tended to strengthen the presumption of his guilt . Whether this may have influenced the prisoner , or whether the knowledge that the woman in question had been seen in company with a young man—a former rival in her affections , it
is believed—a fact which appears to have been im-. prudently communicated to the wretched youth by his mother during one of her recent visits—is not known , but it is certain that during the early part of last week he made a formal request to the proper authorities , with a view to obtain an interview with this young woman . The question was considered , and it was finally resolved that the interview should not take place . Wicks was greatly mortified at his request being refused ; but it was thought better not to give way to his wishes on the subject , and most fortunately was it so determined , for two or three days subsequently the wretched man confessed to the ordinary of the gaol , in the presence of several other persons , that it was his full intention , in the event oi his request having been granted , to have received the young woman with apparent affection , and that while pretending to kiss her , to seize her by the throat with his teeth and retain his hold until he had suffocated her .
It has been ascertained that Wicks has witnessed nearly all the executions which have taken place since that of young Crouch some years ago . He appears to have had a morbid curiosity for such scenes ; and on the occasion of Martha Browning ' s recent execution he actually paid 2 s . Od . fur a seat in a room opposite the scaffold .
The Brazilian Pirates.—Our Readers Will ...
The Brazilian Pirates . —Our readers will recollect the circumstances attending the trial and acquittal of the prisoners charged with piracy on the coast of Africa , aud the murder of the crew of her Majesty ' s ship Wasp . The prisoners , on being acquitted , were sent home by the British government . One of ihem , Majaval , a Spaniard , a young man of rather superior manners and address , who acted as cock , was charged iu the trial as being the person who inflicted the murderous blow on Midshipman Palmer . The prisoners were in all probability indebted for their acquittal to tho munificence of the late High Sheriff of the county , Edward Simcoe Drewe , Esq ., of the Grange , who , with his wonted generosity , finding that most inadequate provision was made for their
defence by the Brazilian government , caused-the learned Serjeant Manning to be retained on their behalf ; aud the high personal character of the learned serjeant . and his equally high reputation as a lawyer , secured from the court that attention to his exposition of the law which would not have been obtained by a junior counsel , even supposing that his critical acu men had enabled him to raise the same points , and give the same breadth of principle to his exposition as the learned serjeant did . The prisoners all expressed themselves most grateful to the High Sheriff ; and it was a proud spectacle to see these wild and lawless men leaving our shores , and bearing away with them , for the rest of their days , an adequate conception and living experience of the impartiality and dignity of British law . The t > ris ~ , ner , Majaval , who , as we have said , had evidently received a
superior education to the rest , and had much of the manners of a gentleman , is a native of the town of Prima , near Barcelona . He left England in the highest spirits , rejoicing in the prospect of returning to his family , snatched as it were from the jaws of death . But on arriving at Barcelona he was arrested by the authorities and thrown into prison , charged with the crime of piracy , for which it appears ho is amenable to Spanish law . He has written a letter to the late High Sheriff , praying for a copy of his acquittal in the British court , expressing the renewal of his thanks for the kindness which fie experienced here , and describing bis disappointment at being a second time incarcerated . The letter contained also one enclosed for General Espartero , between whose family and Majavul ' s there appears to have been some connection , with a view to get tho influence of the General with the British authorities .
MANSLAuoiiTiR . —Fukious Driving . —On Tuesday morning Mr . Thos . Wakley and a highly respectable jury assembled in . the Admission-room of Middlesex Hospital , to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Mr . Daniel Etherington , aged eighty - three years . The deceased was a " master-tailor , and resided at No . 21 , Silver-street , Golden-square . Charles Philott , postboy , 3 , Brewer ' s-court , Bedfordbury , said that he saw the deceased man on the morning in question , passing out of Hanover-street
into the square , when a four-wheel chaisa driven by a groom came up at a most furious pace , and although there was plenty of room for the driver to pass , he drove right on to the deceased and knocked him down . There was no one besides the servant in the vehicle at the time , and when he heard the cry of " stop him , " he hogged the animal , thus increasing the speed , and ultimately escaped , having driven into Ucgent-stieet , Deceased died on Friday morning . Verdict , —'' Mans aughter against some person or persons unknown . "
A Narrow Escape . — " One circumstance may be named iu reference to the escape of Captain Biddulpb , an active and enterprising officer of the 45 th , who had been taken a prisoner . His sword was demanded and refused—taken from him , and again demanded , after this indication ofhis inability to offer any resistance . Again he refused to yield it , aud a gallows was ordered to be raised to intimidate him . The Sikhs changed their minds , and determined to blow him from one of the guns , to which he was accordingly chained , aud preparations made . The action just ihen interfered , and called off tlio whole body of tku Sikh troops , who left Captain Iiiddulph chained to the gun . One of tho Sikhs offered to conduct him to the Governor-General ' s camp if he would give him 1 , 000 rupees , and not take arms again , to which ho acceded , and was released , ami conducted to Sir H . Ilardinge , who at once paid the amount . "

Lo . VDOif Corn Exchange , Mosdat , March 30 . — The supply of English wheat was somewhat larger this morning than it has been for some weeks past , and difficulty was experienced in getting through the whole of it , though offered at Is . to 2 s . per qr , below the rates current on Monday last . For foreign wheat in bond the consumptive demand was very trifling , and there was no speculative inquiry for it , or for free on board cargoes , though the latter were offered , by to-day ' s mail , on lower terms from the Baltic ports . —Fine barley was not so ready of sale as it was last week , and secondary sorts were rather cheaper . Irish oats , and the finer descriptions of English brought an advance of Od . per qr . upon the prices ofthis day se'nnight ; but upon light and inferior corn no improvement whatever could be realised ; the supply from our own coast was tolerably extensive . —Beans were dull and rather cheaper . — Peas of all sorts firm . There was more inquiry for clover seed , but it was freely met , and the lower description of both red and white must be quoted fully 2 s . per cwt . cheaper , l'ine qualities support their value better , but go off very slowly .

Of beasts there were near 3 , 200 head , which met with an indifferent demand . The price realised for the best Scots was 4 d . per atone under the rate of this day last week .
Interior qualities also sold dull , at the same decline , and a clearance was not effected by the hour of closing the market . The supply of sheep was near 5000 in excess of the return upon last Munday . This , together with the more plentiful-supply of Leasts , produced much less activity in the mutton trade , aud rates declined 6 d . per stone for polled sheep , and 4 tl . for half-breds and Downs ; the latter realising only 5 s . 2 d . per 81 b ., half-breds is . 10 d ., and polled ewes 3 s . lOd .
