MCSDES AT KNARESBOSOUGH . John Burlinson , 24 , Charles Gill , 19 , and Henry Nullall , 22 , were charged with the murder of Joseph Cocker , at Knaresborongh , the former as tbe principal , and the other as accessories . Mr . Kxowles and Mr . Mabtik were counsel for the prosecution : Mr . Newton defended Barlinson and Gill , and Mr . Wilkiks appeared for Nottall . Mr . Knowles stated the case . The deceased was a widower , about fifty-six yean of age , and kept a public-bouse in the borough of Knaresborougfa . He had no child , nor no servant , and resided alone . He lived in a house faring the street , which forms part of the Market-place , and immediately behind the bouse there is a yard belonging to a person of the n * me ef
Sbow , and from that yard , if a party be standng there , they can see distinctly into the kitchen of tbe deceased ' s house . That , Mr . Knowles stated , wo * J 4 form an important point in tbe evidence that would be given that day . There would be no doubt at all , that e » the night ef tbe 18 th of June , between tbe hours of eleven and twelve o ' clock , the deceased eame to his death by violence inflicted by some person , and tbe only question in tbe ease would be , whether the evidence would fix tbe charge upon the three prisoners , or any of ttes * On the Bight in question , Mrs . Snow , who lives at she back ef deceased's house , was disturbed by some noise which she heard in Cocker ' s house . She got up , and went into tbe yard and heard groaning , aod also heard distinctly the beating of something npem
the ground , -which induced her to look through Cocker ' s bock window . Sbe then sjnr three men > who proved to be the prisoners , standing in the kitchen . She at that time did not see tha deceased , but saw tbe three men , and sbe heard distinctly the groaning of some person who was in the house . Upon this Mrs . Snow went round to Cocker ' s front door , which she found was fast She therefore returned t * her own house again , and waked her husband , who was asleep in bed . She again heard the groans in Cocker ' s house , aad sbe went into the yard alone and looked through fche window . She saw the deceased reared up against tha chimney piece ; he was growing heavily , and was asing some ezpressios , whieh was , however , unintelligible . Her husband followed he » , and they
again looked through the window , and they there saw the deceased lying on the floor and tbe three men standing aboHt bin ; one of them was in the act of rifling his pockets- The police officer ( Mr . Vickerman ) afterwards fo » nd that deceased ' s breeches pockets , and one of tbe waistcoat pockets bad been turned inside out The prisoners then got up , and rushed out of the house . It appeared that between the interval of Mrs . Snow first seeing the men , aad the second time , and while she was waking her husband , she heard Cocker's door open , and somebody go out . It therefore seemed that they bad gone away in the first instance , and returned again , as they were afterwards seen by Mrs . Snow and her husband . As soon as they went out a second time , Mrs . Bnow observed
the direction in which they took , and she and her husband gave an alarm to ' S ickerman , tbe police officer . He entered tbe deceased ' s house with some of the neighbours , and after a light had been obtained , he found the unfortunate man lying on his face in a pool of blood . He was sot then quite dead , bat he was insensible , and he died soon afterwards . Vickerman found a fire poker partly lying across the deceased ' s legs , and partly across the fender . The floor was nearly covered over with bl * od , a chair and the wails about the fire-plaoe , and within the long-settle , were oovered with blood . Vickerman found a large hole on the right side of deceased ' s head , and he also had another on the left side . There was a cut upon odo of bis cheeks , about an inch in length . The deceased being
so near death could not therefore give any account whatever as to who tbe men were who had commenced the outrage . Mrs . Snow , however , was perfectly cognizxnt with the persons ef two of the prisoners , viz ., Burlinson and Gill , and the other prisoner -was identified by her husband . As soon as the alarm was given , and as soon as it had been ascertained from Snow what had taken place , in deceased ' s house , different ; parties set out in pursuit of the three men , and ia about an hour all the three prisoners were taken into custody . They were not , however , taken at their own homes , or altogether , but they were found in and near the town and were taken separately . Their dress and persona then necessarily became the objects of investigation , and upon the persons and clothes of all of them .
particularly upon Borlinson and Gill , were copious marks of blood . Vickerman examined Burlinson ' s clothes , which were very bloody . His face was covered with blood , and his chin appeared as if he had fallen into some blood . Vickerman asked him if he could account for the blood , but he did not give any answer . The wristbands of Gill ' s shirt were also stained with blood , and his handkerchief was spotted with blood . Nuttalls -waistcoat was stained with blood , and in the pockets was found some bloody hair . On asking him to give an account of it , he said that his nose had bled . Next morning Nuttall made a confession to Vickerman , which was to the effect , that he went to deceased ' s house at ten o clock at night , and bad two or three pints of ale ; that he afterwards went into the yard , and when he returned , he found deceased knocked down . In the evening of the same day , GUI also made a
confession . He said it was not him who had killed the old man . He said they went into Cocker ' s about halfpast ten at night , and they had about five pints of ale ; and , about twelve o ' clock , the old man would not draw them any more . That the old man told them they had better go home , it was getting late ; that Burlinson was Btanding by the old man when he drew a piece of iron out of his pocket aad struck him on the head , when the old man fell down on his knees , and he said " Oh , lads , don't murder me . " Some one then came to the door , and they afterwards ran out across the street np the Synagogue ' s Passage ; that two of them went down the Back Street , and the other ran up Jockey Lane into the High Street , and that they afterwardB met on the High Bridge , and then went into Dinmore ' s Fields , and when they returned they were taken .
Mr . Beaumont , surgeon , of Knaresbro , ' was called to attend the deceased soon after he was found as above described , and he described the injuries which he had received on his head . On the right side of the head , above the ear , there was a wound about two inches in extent , and about three inches in deptb . The tight ear was divided and hanging down . There wa 3 & wound on tbe right cheek passing into the mouth . There was another wound on the left cheek about an inch and a half in extent , and about an inch deep . His left ear was also divided and was hanging dowa Tkere were five other wounds en the side and back part of the bead , of various dimensions , and the skull was fracti"ed beneath each of them . On the long finger of the right-hand there was a wound about en inch long
and the finger was crushed . Tbe wound above the right-ear the witness considered a mortal wound ; eome of the other weunds were also mortal . There was no deubt that that occasioned the death of Cocker . Witness expressed an opinion at the time that it must have been some pointed instrument to have inflicted three of the wounds . He thought the poker wou'd not have caused the wounds over the right ear or that passing through the right cheek , but he believed them to have been with a pointed instrument He though a hammer might have done it He was of opinion that the other wounds might have bees made by a poker . Witness thought , after the post mortem examination had been made , that the wounds had been given by one instrument .
Mr . Wood , coroner of York , who sat on the inquest on the body of the deceased , proved that the prisoners had made statements on the inquest which he took down in writing , and he cautioned them before they made those statements . These were read by the Clerk cf the Court Qill stated that he told Vickerman be knew all about it . Burlinson told him that Nuttall and him went the night before to do it , but Mr . Inchbald came in and put them off Burlinson stated that they all knew what they were going to do—one was as willing as another . The
weapon belonged to Nuttall ; it was a long hammer ; it had a square face and it was thrown into the river Nidd , near Cherry-tree top . Gill bad said that he iBurlinson ; had struck the deceased with a hammer . It was true that he bad struck witb a hammer . Nuttall barred the door but he afterwards cut out in consequents of a woman , * s he thought , coming to the window . Nuttall came back and Gill struck deceased four or five times while he was sitting near the fire place- When they wtnt away he rau down the synagogues . In a short time after Nnttall ? aid it would be better to come back into the town and he [( Buriinson ) was immediattiy taken .

Nuttall stated that he was Innocent of the charge When they went into Cockers house nothing waj said , and be bad two or three pints of ale , when he went into the yard . He bad not been out more than two or three minutes , when he went back again and Cocker was down . Bnrlinson then said " Bar that door . " He did so , and rail away , when he saw what was ' going on ; as he thought it was a severe thing that was going on . He came back again , and Gill then knocked the old man several times Toy bud with the hammer . He ( Nuttall ) could not have done such » thing ; he never did lift a kand against Cocker , and he was quite innocent . ¦ . '¦ - .- ¦ ¦ ¦ ; --- '' - ¦ . ¦ ¦ " ¦ . ¦ " ' ; : . ¦ ¦¦ •• ' ¦
Mr . William Incbbold , tallow chandler , Knaresbro ' , proved that the prisoner Nuttall , had been in his employ up , othe 17 th of June . He bad an adze upon his premises which he had missed about six weeks before the murder , but be bad found one half of it Witness saw Burlinson and Nuttall at Cocker ' s hOUBO , about ten . o ' clock on the night of tbe 17 th of Jane ; they were there when he went in ; they stayed there two or three minutes , and then went away , leaving witness in the house . Witness stayed there about five minutes after they bad ' gone . Mr . WiLKitfS then addressed the Jury for Nuttall He contended that his client , although present , did not previously know any thing about the murder , and ho did not participate in its commission . Mr . Newton also addressed the Jury for the other two prisoners , and contended that from all the circumstances of the case , the prisoners were guilty of manslaughter only .
The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour , and then fennd all the prisoners Guilty . The Judge then put on tbe black cap , and proceeded to pass the sentence of death upon tbe prisoners , but some of his sentences were inaudible from the low tone of voice in which he addressed them . He observed that they bad been convicted , on the clearest evidence , of a foul and cruel murder on the unfortunate deceased . There was no hope for them in this world , and be exhorted them to prepare for that future state into which they must so soon enter . A most awful duty remained far him to perform , and that was to pronounce upon them the sentence of the law—that they be severally takea from thence to the place from whence they eame , and that they , and each of them , be taken to a place of execution , there to be hanged by the neck , uutil each of them be dead ; and that afterwards their bodies-should be buried within the precincts of tbe prison is which they had been confined .
The prisoners seemed maeh affected after hearing the sentence .
MURDER AT MIRF 1 B 1 . D . Sarah Gotdlhorpe , 18 , was charged with the murder of her illegitimate child at Mirfleld , Mr . I KGB . ** and Mr . LiSTBR were for the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkims appeared for the defence . For upwards of three years the prisoner had lived in the service » f Mr . Marmadufc * Ransome , an elderly gentleman -wb * bad retired from business , ' and was living at MirfMd , and who occupied part of a dwellinghouso belonging to his son-in-law . It was about a twelvemonth since he had first observed that the size of the prisoner hart increased , and he remarked that circumstance to her , and charged her with being in the family way , upoa which she said sfce was not , and attributed her figure being so for the want of stays . On
the 24 th of May last , Mr . Ransoms breakfasted between eight and nine o ' clock , and he was attended upon by the prisoner in tbe usual manner . He then remarked that her figure was more than usually large , aad he teld her she was a shame to be seen and that she was to go to Dewsbury to purchase a pair of stays . Her answer was thai she was busy washing that day bat she would go in the course of the week . About two hours afterwards Mr . Ransome , whe had been out , returned to the house , called the prisoner downstairs to give him some hot water as he wanted to shave himself . He noticed her figure was much diminished Mid that Bbe Was looking Vtry ilL He made some coJnraeat en her appearance and she said she had been very ill asd that was the reason why she hack been charged
with being in the family way . As she came down stair * he heard something which appeared to him like a robbing on theetair » , and he observed some spots of blood on the stairs which were partly rubbed out He west up to his lodging-room and in passing the prisoner ' s door saw some olotbes on the floor in the reom wkkh were marked with blood . Mr . Ransome told his daughter what bad patsed and Mr . Parker , the surgeon , was sent for . He ariived about two o'clock and went up stairs and be there- found her in bed with her olotb . es ob . By the observations he then made he became satisfied that either at that time she was la labour or had already given birth to a child . He afterwards saw her in bed , and he asked her where the child was .
After some hesitation she told him it was under the bed . The child was-then found between the bed and tbe mattress , and when it was taken out its bend dropped baek , the throat being cut to tbe bone . The prisoner was a&ked > what she bad done it with , and she at first said with a penknife , and afterwards a razor . A razor was found among the other razors belonging to her master , and it waa stained with blood . The surgeon was of opinion that the child had been born alive . The prisoner had borne a most ex * cellent character ia her situation ; She was a plain , simple , honest , and even prudent girl . In cross examination , the surgeon stated that differences of opinion existed among tbe medical profession as to the testa which showed when a child is born alive .
Mr . Wilkins . addressed the Jury for the prisoner , contending that the child was dead when it was born , and that tho prisoner was only guilty of attempting to conceal the birth of tbe child . The Jury found the prisoner guilty of concealing the birth . ; John Hanson was charged with havfug counterfeit coin in his possession at Bradford . Mr . Armstron g and Mr . Wasney were for the prosecution ; Mr . Holrotd defended the prisoner . On the 30 th of June or the 1 st of July , the prisoner paid a bad shilling to Margaret Ackroyd for a halfpenny pie , who shortly ascertained that it was a bad one . She went to him to return the shilling , but he would not take it . On the 10 th of July , the constable saw the prisoner in a public-house , when he threw a paper parcel into the spittoon . On taking it out , it was found to contain five bad half-crowns and one crown . — Guilty . The Court rose about half-past four o ' clock .

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS THE POOR MAN'S CHURCH , " And all for love , and nothing for reward , " As is evident from the following statement , showing the small stipends for which the clergy undertake the cure of the souls of their flock .- — Archbishop of Canterbury £ 20 , 000—Poor fellow ! Archbishop of York 12 , 006—Disinterested man . ' Bishop of Durham 19 , 000—Self-denying pastor ! Bishop of London 14 , 000—What straits for the poor man's sake . Bishop of Winchester 11 , 00 * \ How heavenly-Bishop of Ely 11 , 000 ) minded !
Five more pojr men ' s bishops £ 5 , 000 to £ ( i , Q 00 a-piece —how apostolic ! Six more successors to the Apostles , £ 3 , 600 to £ 4 , 000 a-piece—bow poverty stricken ! Six , again , upwards of £ 2 , 000 a-piece—how like the early teachers of Christianity ! Two £ 1 , 500 a-piece . One , £ 924 . — •¦ They wandered about iu sheepskins and goat-skins ! " Besides a host of rectors , vicars , &o ., with £ 500 to £ 2 , 000 ! These figures speak more than it might be prmlent to put into words , lest we should be called infidel and irreligious ; but the figures will spsak . Does this said Church ( say they ) look like the poer man ' s church ? Is it not a little like the rich man ' s church ? If it is the poor man ' s church , how comes this anomaly of starving flocks , and pastors oppressed with wealth ? Call it the
church of the rich , and you may call it by its right name ; but do not belie tbe church and insult the poor by giving it the other ( solemn ) nickname . To call the bishops' church the church of the poor , is to heap upon it tbe severest calumny , and arraign it as a culprit at tbe bar of religion and common sense . It is the church of the aristocracy and their youngest sons . Were her wealth her ewn , this would still be true ; but is ither own—this-poor man ' s wealth ? Alas ! we go from bad to worse—a large part of this wealth has absolutely been abstracted from the poor man's pockets to gild the liveries and emblazon tbe arms of the Bishops . Onethird of her tithes were set aside for the support and relief of the poor , and was , for some time , so applied ; but the Church has contrived to swallow the whole , and
now sends the poor man to the workhouse for relief , if haply he may find it The poor man ' s Church ! so indeed she is , if by this is meant that her Bishops have the poor man's money in their pockets , and that her enormous wealth has been bo far deducted from bis due —so indeed she is , for , after filling the pockets of her dignitaries , who turn their backs upon the poor , she sends forth her ill-paid and half-starved curates into the houses of the poor , who , instead of her enormous wealth wherewith to relieve their wants , are , in some cases , themselves dependent upon their parishioners . There are six bandied livings under £ 60 a year , and five hundred Hioie under £ 80 , besides upwards of five thousand curacies , averaging £ 80 , and many more of them under £ 50 , and this in spite of ancient laws and usages which would ensure to every pastor a liberal subsistence , but which the Church has contrived to
evade . In this sense she is , and is determined to continue , the Church of the poor man , whom it has been her practice to keep as poor as she found him . The poor man's Church , indeed t Whose Church is she then ? this State Church ? As a State Church , chiefly of the practically infidel and irreligious , Sabbath desecrating lords , who leave it to the middle classes to keep the fourth commandment , —important personages in the Church , who prepare for Sunday , by spending the Saturday night at the Theatre and the Opera , in order to solemnise their minds—gambling , curaing . &nd swearing lords and gentry—( who dares deny it*)—who will maintain the Church with their lives and fortunes ! Defenders of the faith , who trarople on the sixth commandment , and take away life for a word ! Duelling Lords ! pillars of the Church ! whose hands are stained with blood . Men , who , rather than own a religion , will hire one—who , disliking personal religion / take up

with a national one . A State Church is nobody ' s Church , and suit * them exactly . They are sot Episcopalians ; Episcopalians are excellent men ; their religion is not Episcopalian , it is anything or nothing , only it must be national : their religion is not tbe Christian religion—It is the religion of the Sovereign andhbj Bishops . Hence they will fight for It , or bribe for it , or drink for it ; and they call it toe Poor Man ' s Church , because the State is nothing without the poor man—nothing unless ho works for it and fights for it ( they are fond of fighting both in private and in public it is part of their religion ;) so , without the poor man , It could not be the State Church , and in that ease they would be without any religion at alL Let them call it the Poor Man's Church if they will—but what a pity they wont pay for it themselves when they get all the advantage of it The poor man has a private religion and U willing to pay to it—those whom religion ia public , in the matter of it , should pay for it as well Why should not the publicists pay for their own religion , which belongs to themselves and nobody else ? It is to be feared their religion ia no religion at all—at least it is not a national one . Now , since a national religion is no religion at all—it is binding upon every man , therefore , to see to it that be has a religion of his own , and that religions freedom , or liberty to hold hit own religious views and worship , be guaranteed to every man .
