FER 4 URT AT LEEDS . John Jackson , 21 , was charged with committing perjury at Leeds , before John Clapham , Esq ., on the 26 th of October last Mr . Marshall and Mr . Hall appeared for the prosecution . Sir G . Lewin defended the prisoner . The first count ia the indictment charged the prisoner that he committed perjury in a deposition wbicb he gave before the Magistrates of Leeds on the 2 tith of October , on which occasion be swore that he was robbed by a girl of tbe name of Elizabeth Clarkson , who picked his pocket of £ 1 2 s . or £ 1 3 s .. The second caargod him that when this girl was brought up for trial at the sessions on the 31 st of October , he swore before tbe Recorder that she did not pick , hiB pocket , but that he gave her the money . She was accordingly acquitted , and the Recorder recommended the Magistrates to commence a prosecution .
It appeared , however , from the evidence that the difference in the prisoner ' s statements had arisen 'from a mistake . Not Guilty .
COW STEALING . William Favxett , 29 , who had been out on bail , was charged with having in January last , at Bolton , stolen a cow , the property of John Atkinson . Not Guilty . The Court rose at four o ' clock . Monday , July 19 . The Court wag crowded this morning with persons anxious to hear the trial of the Eaaresborough murderers .
MDBDEB AT ItNABESBOROWGH . John Burlinxm , 24 , Charles Gill , 19 , and Henry Kutfall , 22 , were charged with the murder of Joseph Cocker , at KnaresV ^ rough , the former as the principal , and the other as accessories . Mr . Knowles and Mr . Martin were counsel for the prosecution : Mr . Newto » defended BarliDSon and Gill , and Mr . Wilkiks appeared for NuttalL ' Mr . Knowles stated the case . The deceased was a widower , about fifty-six years of ape , and kept a pubiic-house in the borough of Knaresborongh . He had no child , hot no servant , and resided alone . He lived in a house facing the street , which forms jiirt of the Market-place , and immediately behind tbe housu there is a yard belonging to a person of the name ef
Snow , and from that yard , if a party be standing there , they can see distinctly into the kitchen of the deceased ' s heuse . That , Mr . Knowles stated , would form an important point in the evidence that would bo given that day . There would be no doubt at all , that on the night of the 18 tn of June , between the hours of eleven and twelve o ' clock , the deceased came to his death by violence inflicted by eome 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 kick of deceased ' s house , was disturbed by some noise which she heard in Cocker ' s house . She got up , and went into tbe yird and heard a groaning , and also heard distinctly the beating of something upon
the ground , -which induced her to look through Cocker ' s back window . She then saw three men , who proved to be the prisoners , standing in the kitch * n . She at that time did not see the deceased , but saw tbe three men , and she heard distinctly the groaning of some person who was in the bouse . Upon thi 3 Mrs . Snow went round to Cocker ' s front door , which she found was fast She therefore returned to her own house again , and waked her husband , who was asleep in bed . She again heard the groans in Cocker ' s house , and she went into the yard alone and looked through the window . She saw the deceased reared up against 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 , aud 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 . Vickerman ) afterwards found that decessed ' s breeches pockets , and one of tbe waistcoat pockets had 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 , and 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 had gone a * ay 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 . Snow observer !
th » direction in which they took , and she and ker husband gave an alarm to "Vickerman , the police , officer . He entered the deceased ' s hous 9 with some of the neighbours , and afttr a Tight had been obtained , he found the unfortunate mau ljing on his face in a pool of Wood . He-was not then quite dead , but he was insensible , and he die'l soon afterwards . Vickerman found a fire poker partly lyin ^ across tbe deceased ' s legs , aDd partly aeross tbe fender . Tbe floor was neai ' . y covered over -with blood , a chair and the wails about the fire-place , and within the long-settie , were covered with blood . Vickerman found a large holu on the right side of deceased ' s head , and he also had imotli-r on the left side . There was a cut -upon one ot his cheeks , about an inch iu length . Tbe deceased being
so near death could not therefore give any account whatever as to who tb « men -were -who bad commenced the outrage . Mrs . Snow , however , was perfectly cognizant with the persons ef two of the prisoners , viz ., Burtinson aud Gill , and the other prisouer was identified by her husband . As Boon as the alarm -was given , and as soon as it bad been ascertained from Suow wiiat had takea piace , ia deceased ' s housa , diS ' creat parties set out in pursuit of ths three men , and in about un hour all the three prisoners were taken into cu&toity . They were not , however , taken at their own homes , or altogether , but they were found in and neat the town and were taken separately . Thiir dres 3 and persons ihen necessarily became the objscta of investigation , ami upon tho perj »> ns aad clothes of all of them ,
particularly upon EirHnsm and Gill , were copious marks of blood . Vickerman examined Burlinsou ' s clothes , which were very bluody . His face wasoiVtrtU with blood , and his chin appeared as it he hu'i tii . eu into some blood . Vicfeerman asked him if lie could account for the blood , but he did not give any answer . The wristbands of Gili ' s shirt were also stained with blood , and his handkerchief w ^ s spotted with blood . Nuttail's -waistcoat was stained with blood , ai : d in the pockets was fuund some bloody hair . On as ) : in , ' hiui to give an account of it , he said that his r . o . ° e had t > kii . Next morning Xuttall made a confession to Vickrriuau . which , was tu ths effect ., that ho went to ( ioc ast > a ' s h ' -US 6 at ten o ' clock at night , and bad two or t ' iref pints of ale ; that ha after' , ards went into tbe yard , ami when he returned , he fi , u ; id deceabud knocked down . In tiie evening of the same day , Gill also made a
cuiifessiou . He said it was not him who had killed the oid man . He said they -went iuto Cocker's about halfpast ten at night , and they had ubout five pints of ale ; and , about tweive o ' clock , the old man woukl u--t dtaw them any more . Tnat the old roan told them ttiey had better go home , it was getting late ; that Buriiiison was standing by the old man when he drew a piece uf irtMi out of his packet and struck him ou tne head , when the old man fell down on his knees , and he said " Oh , la <' . s , don ' t murder me . " Some one ttk :: i came to the door , and they afterwards ran out across the street up the Synagogue ' s Passage ; that two of them wtnt down the Bsck Street , and the other ran up J ckfy Lane into the H ;? h Street , and that they ufter-¦ wards Met on the Hign Bridge , ami then -went into Diuniore ' s Fields , and when they returned they were tiiken .
Mr . Beaumont , surgeon , of Knaresbro , ' was called to attend the dt ceased soon after he was found as above described , and he described the Injuries which he had received on his head . On the right side i . f the head , above the ear , there was a wound about two inches in extent , and about three inches in depth . Tho right ear vras divided and hanging down . There was ii -wound on tbe right check passing into tho mouth . Thtre was another vf ound ou the left cheek about au inch and a half in extent , and about an inch deep . His i _ -ft eaT was also iiv ? u \ eil and was hanging down . There were five other wounds au tha aido ami back part oi i the head , Ol various dimensions , nnd the akull was I fractured beneath taeh of them . On the long nn ^ tr ol ; the right-hind there was a -wound abuut an inch long ; ^ . nd the linger was crushed . The wound abuve tho j right-tar the witness conbidtred a mortal wound ; some ' of the other weunds were also mortal . Th . ru was no
1 deubt that that occasioned the death of Cocker . Wit-• nes > s expressed an opinion at the time that it rsiUSt foaVti ! been some pointed instrument to have inflicted three of ¦ the -wounds . Ho thought the poker wouid uot have ! caused the woup . is over the right ear or that passing t through the right cheek , but lie believed them to have i been with a pointed instrument He though a hummer ; mi ^ ht have done it He was of opinion that this other wounds might have been made by a poker . Witness I thought , after the past mortem examination had beeu I 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 prisoutrs , ' had made siatements on the inquest which he took I dewn ill writing , and he cautioned them before they made those statements . i These -were read by the Clerk cf the Court
: Giil fcfcited that he told Vickerman he knew all j abom it . Burlinson told him that Nuttalt and j him went the ni ^ ht 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 vriiiing as another .

Nuttall stated that he was innocent of the charge When they wentinto Cockers house nothing was said , and he bad two 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 Cocker -was down . Burlinson then said " Bar that door . " He did so , and ran away , when he saw what -was going ou ; as bethought it was a severe thing that was going on . He came back again , and Gill then knocked the old man several times very haid with the hammer . He ( Nuttall ) could not have done such a thiug ; he never did lift a hand against Cocker , and he was quite innocent .
Mr . William Inohhold , tallow chandler , Knareabro ' , proved that the prisoner Nuttall , had been in his employ up , o the 17 th of June . He had an adze upon his premises which he had missed about six weeks before the murder , but he liad feuml one half of it . Witness saw Burliuson and Nuttall at Cocker's house , about ten o ' clock on tho night of the 17 th of Juno ; 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 fire minutes after they had gone . Mr . WiLKiNS then addressed the Jury for Nuttall . He contended that his client , although present , did not previously know any tiling about the murder , and he 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 manslausflrter only .
The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour , and then found all the prisoners Guilty . The Judge then put on the black cap , and proceeded to pass tbo sentence of death upon the prisoners , but Boine of his sentences were inaudible from the low tone of voice in which he addressed their .. 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 in this world , and he exhorted them to prepare for that future state iuto 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 thsnee to tha plaea &om whence they came , and that they , and each of them , be taken to a plact-- of execution , there to be hanged by the neck , until each of them be dead ; ami that afterwards their bodies shirtild be buried within the precincts of the prison Ui . * h \ cl \ they had been confined .
The prisoners seemed much affected after bearing the sentence . MURDER AT MIBFIELD . Sarah Goldlhorpe , 18 , was Gharged with the murder of her illegitimate child at Mirfield . Mr . Ugham and Mr . Listeu were for the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins appeared for the defence . For upwards of three years the prisoner had lived in tbe service of Mr . Marinaduke Runsonie , an elderly gentleman who had retired from business , and -was living at Mirfield , and who occupied part of a dwellinghouse belonging to his son-in law . It was about a twelvemonth since he hail first observed that the size of the prisoner had increased , and he remarked that circumstance to her , ami charged her with being in tbe
family way , upon which sli « said she was not , and attributed , her tigure being bo for tha want of stays . On tbe 24 th of May last , Mr . Kunsome breakfasted between eight and nine o ' clock , and ho was attended upon 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 sharue to be seen and that she vras to go tu Dcvrsbury to purchase a pair of stays . Her answer was that she was busy washing that day but she would go in the course of the week . About two hours afterwards Jlr . Ranaome , who had been out , returned to the house , called the prisoner down stairs to give kim some hot water as he wanted to shave himself . Ha noticed her figure was much diminished and that she was iockin * very ill . He made some
comment en her appearance and she said she had been very iil and that was the reason why she had been charged with being in the family way . As she came down stairs he heard soinethiuij which appeared to him like a rubbing on tho stiir . s , and he observed some spots of blood on the staiTS wijich 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 Wood . Mr . Ransome told his daughter what had passed uu < i Mr . Parker , thesurge « u , was sent for . He arrived about two o ' clock and went up stairs and ho there found her in bed with her clothes on . By tbe observations he then made he became satisfied that either at that time she was in labour or had already civeu bir . h to a child . He afterwards saw
her in bed , aud be asked her where the child was . After some hesitation she told him it was under the bed . The child w . is then found between the bed ami the mattress , and when it was taken out its head dropped back , tha throat being cui to the bone . The prisoner was asked what she had done it with , aud she at tirat said -with a penknife , and afterwards a razor . A razor waa found among tho other rreors belonging to her master , und it was stained with Wood . Tne surgeon was of opinion that the child had been bora alive . The prisoner had borne a most excellent character in her situation ; she was a plain , . simple , honest , and even prudent Rirl . In cross exaluinatiuu , the surgeon stated that differences of opinion t xLsted atnoi'i ; the medical profession as to the tests which . showed when a child ia born alive .
Mr . Wjlkins . addressed the Jury for the prisoner , contending that tho child waa dead when it w ^ s born , and that tho prisoner was only guilty of attempting to conceal the birtu of the child . The Jury fouud the prisoner guilty of concealing tha birth John Hanson -was charged with having counterfeit coin iu his possession at Bradford . Mr . Armstrong and Mr . VVasnet were for the p .-osecntion ; Mr . HOLROYD defended the prisoner . Oc tho 30 th of June or the 1 st of July , the prisoner paid a bad shilling to Margaret Ackroyd for ahalfjienny pie , who shortly ascertained that it was a bad one . She went to him to return tho shilling , but li « -would not take it . On the 10 th of July , tiie constable saw the prisoner in a public-house , when he threw a paper parcel into the spittoon . On taking it out , it was found t » contain five bad half-crowns and one crowu . — Guilty . Tho 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 evMent from the following statement , showing the small stipends for wiiicli the clergy undertake the cure oi tbe souls of their flock ;—Archbishop of Canterbury £ 20 , 000—Poor fellow ! Archbishop of York 12 . 001 )—Disinterested man ! Bishop of Durham lt > , 000— Sflf-denyhijj paator ! Bishop of London 14 , 000—What straits for the poor man ' s sake . Bishop of 'Winchester ll .

Five morn poar mea '» bishops £ 5 OUO to £ 6 . 000 a-piece —faovr apostolic ! Six inorit successors to the Apostles , £ 3 , 000 to £ 4 , 000 apiece—how povsrty stricken ! Six , again , upwards of £ 2 , 000 a-piece—how like the enrly teachers of Christianity ! Two £ 1 , 500 a-piece . One , £ 924 . — " They wandered about in sheepskins and goat-skins ! " Besides a host of rectors , vicars , Ac , with £ 500 to £ 2 , 000 ! TlK-se figures speak move than it might be prudent to put i :. to words , Itst we should be called infidel and irreligious ; but the ( i n ures will speak . Does this said Church ( say theyi lo > k like the pour man ' s church ? Is it not a iittle liko the rich man '« church ? If it is the poor man ' s church , how come . t this anomaly of starving flocks , and pastors oppressed with wealth ? Cali it the
church of the rich , and you niny call it by its right name ; but do not belie the church and insult the poor by ^ ivinif it the other ( solemn ) nickname . To call the bishops' cbureh tiie church of tho poor , is to heap upon it tho severest calumny , and arraign it us a culprit at the bar of religion and common acuso . It is the church uf tbo atistocraey and their youngest sons . Were her wealth her own , this would still bo true ; but is it her owu—this poor man ' s wealth ? Alas ! we go from bad to worse—a large part of this wealth baa absolutely been abstracted from the poor man ' s pockets to gild the liveries and emblazon thu arms of the Bishops . Onethird of h 3 r tithes were set aside for the support and relief if the poor , and was , for some time , so applied ; but thu Church nan contrived to swullow the whole , and
now sends tho poor nian to the -workhouse for relief , if haply ha 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 l in their pockets , and that htr enormous -wealth has been so i ' ur deducted from his due —so indeed she is , for , after tilling the pockets of her dignitaries , who turn their backs upon the poor , she aends forth her ill-paid and half-aUirved curates into the houses of the poor , who , instead of her enormous wealth whtiewith to relieve their -wants , are , in some cases , themselves dependent upon their parishioners . There are six hundred livings under £ 60 a year , and Sve hundred more under £ 80 , besides upwards of five thousand curacies , averaging £ 80 , and many moro of them under £ 50 , aud this in spite of ancient laws and usages whicU would ensure to every pastor a liberal
subsistence , but which the Church has coutmed to evade . In this sense she is , and is determined to contiuue , tbe Church of the poor man , whom it ho 3 been her practice to keep as poor as she found him . The poor man ' s Church , indeed ! Whose Church is she then ? this State Chuich ? . Ab a State Church , chitfly of the practically iufidel aud irreligious , Sabbath desecrating lords , who leave it to the middle classes to keep the fourth commandment , —important personages in the Church , who preparefor Sunday , by spending the Saturday night at the Theatre aud the Oj * ra , in order to solemnise their minds—gambling , cursing , and swearing lords and gentry —( who dares deny it?)— who vrill maintain tbe Church with theirIive 3 aud fortunes !

with a national one . A State Churca is nobody's Church , and suits them exactly . They are not Episcopalians ; Episcopalians are excellent men : their religion ia not Episcopalian , it Us anything or nothing , only it must be national : their religion is not the Christian religion—it ia the religion of the Sovereign and his Bishops . Hence they will flght for it , or bribe for it , or drink for it ; and they call it the Poor Man's Church , because the State ia 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 &ot be the State Church , and ia that case the ; wonld be * itboat any religion at alL Let them call it
tbe Poor Man's Church if they will—but what a pity they won't pay for it themselves when they get all the advantage of it The poor man has a private religion and is willing to pay to it—those whose religion is 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 is no religion at all—at least it ia 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 he has a religion of his own , and that religious freedom , or liberty to hold his own religious views and worship , be guaranteed to every man .
