John Burlinson , 24 , Charles Gili , 19 , and Henry Nuttatl , 22 , were charged with the murder of Joseph Cocker , at Knaresborougb , the former as the principal , and the other as accessories . Mr . Ksowles and Mr . Martin wereconnsel for the prosecution : Mr . Newton defended Burlinson and Gill , and Mr . Wilkins appeared for NuttaU . Mr . KNOWLES stated the case . The deceased . w » j a widower , about fifty-six years of age , and kept a public-house in the borough of Koaresboroagb . He had no child , nor no servant , and resided alone . He lived in a house facing the street , which forms part of the Market-place , and immediately behind the house there is a yard belonging to a person of the nume ef

      Snow , and from that yard , if a party be standing there , they can see distinctly into the kitchen of the deceased ' s house . That , Mr . Kuowles stated , would form an important point in the evidence that would be given tbat day . There would be no doubt at all , that on the night of the 18 th of June , between the boors of eleven and twelve o ' clock , the deceased came to bis death by violence inflicted by some person , and the only question in the case would be , whether the evidence would fix the charge upon the three prisoners , or any of them . On the night in question , Mrs . Snow , who lives at the bock of deceased ' s house , was disturbed by some noise which she heard in Cocker ' s house . She got up , and went into the yird and heard a groaning , and also beard distinctly tbe beating of something upon

      the gronnd , which induced her to look through Cocier ' s back window . She then saw three men , who proved to be the prisoners , standing in the kitchen . She at that time did not Bee the deceased , but saw the three men , and she 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 grpans in Cocker ' s house , and she went into the yard alone and looked through tbe window . Sbe saw the deceased reared up ajrainrt the chimney piece ; he was groaning heavily , and was using some expression , which was , however , unintelligible . Her husband followed her , and they

      again looked through the window , and they there saw the deceased lying on the floor and the three men standing about him ; one of them was in the act of rifling his pockets . The police officer ( Mr . VickeTman ) afterwards found that doceased ' s breeches pockets , and one of the waistcoat pockets had been turned inside out Tbe prisoners then got up , and rushed out of the house . It appeared that between the interval of Mrs . Snow first seeing the men , and the second time , and while she was waking her husband , Bhe heard Cocker ' s door open , and somebody go out It therefore seemed that they bad gone away in the first instance , aud returned again , as they were afterwards seen by Mrs . Snow and her husband . As soon as . they went out a second time , Mrs . Snow observed

      the direction in which they took , and she and feer husband gave an alarm to Yickerman , the police officer . He entered the deceased ' s house with some of the neighbours , and after a light bad been obtained , he found the unfortunate man lying on his face in a pool of blood . He was not then quite dead , bnt be was insensible , and he died soon afterwards , Yickerni&n f . Mind » fire poker portly lying across tbe deceased ' s legs , and partly across tbe fender . The floor was nearly covered over with bl * od , a cmthr tiar& the wails about the fire-place , and within the long-settle ^ w * re covered with blood . Yickerman found allrge'hole on the right side of deceased ' s head , and he also had another on the left side . There was a cut upon one of his cheeks , about an inch in length . The deceased being

      so sear death could not therefore give any . account whatever as to who the men were who had commenced the outrage . Mrs . Snow , however , was perfectly cogn'jmt with the persons ef two of the prisoners , viz ., Bnriinson ana Grill , and the other prisoner was identified by her husband . As soon as the alarm was given , and as soon as it bad been asceltamed from Snow what had taken place , in deceased's house , different parties Bet out in pursuit of the three men , and in 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 tbe town and were taken separately . Their dress and persons then necessarily became the objects of investigation , and upon the persons and clothes of all of them ,

      particularly npon BurlinBon and GHll , 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 . Yickerman 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 bis handkerchief was spotted with blood . Nuttall ' s -waistcoat was stained with blood , and in tbe pockets was found some bloody hair . On asking him to give an account of it , he said that his nose had bled . Next morning Nuttoll made a confession to Vickerman , which was to the effect , that he went to deceased's bouse at ten o clock at night , and bad two or three pints of ale ; that he afterwards went into tbe yard , and when he returned , he found deceased knocked down . In the evening of the same day , Gill also made a

      confession . He said it was not him who had killed the old man . He Baid they went into Cocker ' s about balfpast ten at night , and they had about five pints of ale ; and , abont twelve o ' clock , the old man would not draw them any more . Tbat the old man told them they bad better go home , it was getting late ; that Burlinson was standing by the old man when he drew a piece of iron out of his pocket and struck him on tbe head , when the old man fell down on his knees , and he said " Oh , lads , dont 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 Bick Street , and tbe other ran up Jockey Lane into the High Street , and that they afterwards met on tbe High Bridge , and then went into Dinmore ' 8 Fields , and when they returned they were taken .

      Mr . Beaumont , surgeon , of Kn&resbro , ' 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 depth . Tbe right ear was divided and hanging down . There was a wound on the right cheek passing into the mouth . There was another wound on tbe left cheek about an inch and a half in extent , and about an inch deep . His left ear was also divided and was hanging down . There were five other wounds en the Bide and back pait of the head , of various dimensions , and the skull was fractured beneath each of them . On the long finger of tbe right-hind there was a wound about an inch long

      and the finger was crushed . The wound above the right-ear the witness considered a mortal wound ; some of the other weunds were also mortal . There was no deubt that that occ&sloned tbe death of Cocker . Witness expressed an opinion at the time that it must have been some pointed instrument to have inflicted th * e © ol 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 beea 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 tbat 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 of the Court / Gill stated that he told Yickerman he knew an about it Burlinson told him that NuttaU an # him went the night before to do it , but Mr . Inohbali came in and pat them off ¦ ^ Burlinson stated that they all knew what they wer ¥ going to do—one was as willing as another . The w « 0 T

      pon belonged to Nuttall ; it was a long hammer ;« bad a square face and it was thrown into the river Nid $ near Cherry-tree top . Gill bad said that he ( Burlinaoo ) i had struck the deceased with a hammer . It was tni ' that be had struck with a hammer . Nuttall barred the door but he afterwards cut out in consequease of a * woman , as be thought , coming to the window . Nuttall came back aud Gill struck deceased four or five timea while he was Bitting near the fire place . When they Wtnt away he ran down tbe synagogues . In a short time after Nuttall said it would be better to come back into the town aud he {( BurlinEon ) was immediately taken .

      Nuttall stated that he was innocent of the charge . When they wentlntoCockershouse nothing was said , and he bad tiro or three pints of ale , when he went into the yard . He had not been out more than two or three minutes , when he went back again and Cooker wag down . Borlinson then said " Bar tbat door . " He did so , and ran away , when he saw what was going on , as bethought it was a severe thing that was going on . He came back again , and GUI then knocked the old man several times very baid with the hammer . He ( Nuttall ) could not have done such a thing ; he never did lift a band against Cocker , and he was quite innocent .

      • Mr . William Inchbold , tallow chandler , Knaresbro ' , proved that tbe prisoner Nuttall , bad been in his employ up , otbe 17 th of June . He bad an adze upon his premises which be had missed about six weeks before the murder , but he had found one half of it . Witness saw Burlinson and Nuttall at Cocker's honse , about ten o ' clock on the night of the 17 th of June ; they were there when be went in ; they stayed there two or three minutes , and then went away , leaving witness in the housa Witness stayed there about five minutes after they had gone . Mr . WiLKiflS then addressed the Jury for NuttalL He contended that bis client , although present , did not previously know any thing about the murder , and he did not participate in its commission . Mr . Newton also addressed the Jury for tbe other two prisoners , and contended that from all the eircomstaocea of the cass , the prisoners were guilty of manslaughter only .

      The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour , and then feund all the prisoners Guilty . The Judge then put on tbe black cap , and proceeded to pass tbe sentence of death upon the prisoners , but some of his sentences were inaudible from the low tone of voice in which he addressed them . He observed that they had been convicted , on the clearest evidence , of a foul and cruel murder on the unfortunate deceased . There was no hope for them iq this world , and he exhorted them to prepare for that future state into which they must so soon enter . A most awful duty remained for him to perform , and that was to pronounce upon them the sentence of . the law—that they be severally taken from thence to the place from whence they came , and tbat they , and each of them , be taken to a place of execution , there to be banged by the neck , uutii each of them be dead ; and that afterwards their bodies should be buried witbin the precincts of the i rison in which they bad been confined .

      The prisoners seemed much affected after hearing the sentence .

      MURDER AT MIRFIELD . Sarah Goldlhorpe , 18 , was charged with the murder of her illegitimate child at MirSeld . Mr . Ingham and Mr . LiSTEB were for the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins appeared for the defence . For upwards of three years the prisoner had lived in the service of Mr . Marmaduke Ransome , an elderly gentleman who bod retired from business , and was living at Mirneld , and who occupied port of a dwellinghouse belonging to his son-in-law . It was about a twelvemonth since be bad first observed that the size of the prisoner had increased , and he remarked that circumstance to her , and charged her with being in the family way , upon which she said she was not , and attributed her figure beiufc bo for the want of stays . On

      the 24 tb of May last , Mr . Ransorae breakfasted between eight and nine o ' clock , and he was attended npon by the prisoner in the usual manner . He then remarked that her figure was more than usually large , and 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 that she was busy washing that day but she would go in the course of tbe week . About two hours afterwards Mr . Ransome , who had been out , returned to thohouse , called the prisoner downstairs to give him some hot water as he wanted to shave himself . He noticed her figure was much diminbhed and that she was looking , very ilL He made some comment en her appearance and she said she had been very 111 and that was the reason why she had been charged

      with being in the family way . Am she came down stairs he heard something which appeared to bin like a rubbing on the stuirs , and be observed some spots of blood on the stairs which were partly rubbed out . He went up to his lodging-room and in passing the prisoner ' s door saw some clothes on the floor in the room which were marked with blood . Mr . Ransome told his daughter what had poised and Mr . Parker , the surgeon , was sent for . He arrived about two o ' clock and went up stairs and he there found her in bed with her clothes on . By the observations he then made he' became satisfied that either at that time she was in 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 the told him it was under the bed . Tbe child was then found between the bed and tbe mattress , and when it was taken out its head dropped back , the throat being cut to the bone . Tbe prisoner was asked what she hod done it with , and she at first said with a penknife , and afterwords a razor . A razor was fouud among the other raaors belonging to her master , and it waa stained with blood- Tbe surgeon was of opinion that the child had been born alive . The prisoner had borne a most excellent character in her situation ; she w&a a plain , traple , hottest , and even prudent « i * L . In crosaexattJBfttiou , tbe surgeon stated that aistreaces of . opinion ezwted atppag the medical profession as to the teats which mho wed when a child ia born alive .

      Mr . Wilkins addressed the Jury fox the prisoner , contending that the child was dead when it was bora , and that the prisoner was only guilty of attempting to conceal the birth of the child , . The Jury foand the . prisoner guilty of concealing the birth . . John Hanson waa charged with having counterfeit coin in his possession at Bradford . Mr . Armstrong and Mr . Wasney were for the prosecution ; Mr . HOleotd defended the prisoner . On the 30 th of June or the let of July , tbe prisoner paid a bad shilling to Margaret Ackroydfor a halfpenny piej who BborUy ascertained that it waa a bad . one . Sh * . went to him to return the shilling , but he would no £ take ft . On the 10 th of . Jaly , the constable saw tbe prisoner In a publio-house , when he threw a pane * parcel into the spittoon . On taking it out , it was found to contain five bad balf-crowas and one crown . — Guilty . . r The Court rose about half-past four o ' clock .

They are not Episcopalians ; Episcopalians are excellent men : their religion is not Episcopalian , it la anything or nothing , only it must be national : their religion is not the Christian religion—it is the religion of the Sovereign and faU Bishops . Hence they will flgfit for it , or bribe for it , or drink for it ; and they can tt tbe Poor Man ' s Church , because the State is nothing without the poor man—nothing unless he works for it and fights for it ( they are fond of fighting both in private and in public it is part of tkeir religion ;) so , without the poor man , it could not be the State Church , and in that case 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 won't pay for it themselves when they get all the advantage otit The poor man has a private religion and is willing to pay to it—those whose tellglon is public , in the matter of it , should pay for it as well . Why should not the publicists pay fox their own xeligion , which belongs to themselves and nobody else ? It is to be feared their reli gion is no religion at all—at leastit ia not a national one .
