John Burlinscm , 24 , Charles Gitt , 19 , and Henry Kultall , 22 , were charged with the nmrfier of Josepii Cocker , at Ktmrtsborough , tke former as the principal , and the oth ? r as accessories . Mr . Knowles and Mr . Martin were counsel for the prosecution : Mr . ifEwiojf defended Btirlinson and Gill , and Mr . Wilkiss appeared for Nuttall . Jir . Knowles stated the case . The deceased was a ¦ sridower , about flfty-six years of age , and kept a public-house in the borough of Knaresborougb . 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 n&mo ef
Snow , and from that yard , if a party be standing there , they can see distinctly into tbe kitchen of the deceased ' s heuse That , Mr . Knowles stated , would form an important point in the evidence that would be given t 2 ; at day . There would be no doufet at all , that on tha night of the isth of June , between the hours of eleven Mad twelve o ' clock , the deceased came to bis death by violence infiicted 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 back of oecessed ' s house , was disturbed by some noise which she heard in Cocker ' s houaa . She got Up , &Iid went into the y- \ td and hefurcl a groaning , and also heard distinctly the beating of something npon
the gTound , which induced her to look through Cocker ' s back window . She then saw three men , who proved to be the prisoners , standing in tbe kitchen . She at that time didnotBeB the deceased , but saw the three men , and she beard distinctly the groaning of some person who ivas in the housa . Upon this Mrs . Snow -went round to Cocker ' s front door , wliich 8 he 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 alono and looked through the window . She saw the deceased reared up against the chimney piece ; he was groaning heavily , and was using eome expression , which was , howtver , unintelligible . Her husband folJofred her , and tliey
again looked through the window , and they tbere saw the deceased lying on the floor and the three men standing about hia ; one of them was in the act of rifling his pockets . The police officer ( Mr . Tickermanl afterwards found that deceased ' s breeches pockets , and one of the waistcoat pockets bad been tamed inside out The prisoners then got up , and rnshed out of the house . It appeared that between the interval of Mrs . Snow first seeisg the men , and the second time , and while Ehe was waking her husband , she heard Cocker's door open , and someKxiy go out . It therefore seemed that they had gune away in > he first instance , and returned again , as tbey were afterwards seen by Mrs . Snow and her husband . As » oon as they -went out a second time , Mrs . Snow observed
the direction i » which they took , and she and ktr husband gave aa alarm to "Vickerman , tbe police officer . He entered the dfce ' - ' . sed ' s bousa with some of ttt o n ^ icbbours , and &ft « r a Hght had been obtained , be found thb unfortunate man lying on his face in a pool of blood . He was not then quite dead , b » t he was insensible , and he died soon a&erwards . Vicker » i 2 n fouud a foe poker "partly l"jir >^ across the deceased ' s legs , » nd partly across the lender . Tko floor wn » nearly covered o ~« wr with blood , a chair and tbe wails about the fire-place , and within the long-fiettle , - wen ! covered with b !' 'Od . Yickermaa fjund a large holi ; on the right side of deceased's hea'i , and he also had anothrr on the Itft siiie . There was a cut upon one of lii = > cheeks , about an inch in kngth . The deeeased being
so near death could not thcrafore give any account whatever as to who the men wtre -who had commenced the outrage . Mrs . Snow , however , waa perfectly C'ign'zant with th » persui-. s *» f t"a > o of the prisoners , vii ., Burlin 3 ou aim Gill , and the otiitr prisoner was identified by her husband . As soon as the alarm was givet' . and a&soon as it bau been ascertained from Snow what had taken p ! ace , ia deceased ' s house , differeat parties set out in pursuit of the three men . and in about an hour all tbe thrre prisoners vfare taken into- cufitody . They were not , tuwever , taken at thtir own homes , or altogether , but they were found in and near the town and were taken separately . Xheip dress and persans then necessarily became the objects of investigation , and spun the ¦ " ¦*;¦ .-ons and clothes of all of them ,
partieuiaTly npon BuTlins ^ n Gill , were copiuus maTks of blood . Yickerman examined fiurlinson ' s clothss , whico M ~ erevery bloody . His face was covered with blood , and his chin appeared as if ii-e hu . < l fni ' en into some bkwO . Yickerman asked him if he couid account for the blood , but he did not give any answer . The wrt-t ' aniis of GUI ' s shirt were also staiacd with blood , and his-handkerchief was spotted with blood . Nuttalla -svaiftsoar w&s stain&d with blood , and in tiltpoefctw was fouud so . ae bloorty hair . On asking him to give an acc « mt of it . be said that his nose had bld < l . >' ext mornint ^' uttall nmde a confession to Yickerman . ¦ w hich -was to the effect , that ho Went to deymscti ' s house at ten a ' clook at night , and had two or tliTee pints of ale ; that he afterward- " went into the yu 7 ( i , and when he retxrucd , ha tvuad deceased knocked dowzi . In the tveniai : of tbe s . nue day , GUI also mads u
confession . Ha said it was noi him "who baa killed tbe old man . He said they -went into Cocker ' s about halfp- ^ t t « n at nigh t , and they had about five picts ot' ale ; and , about twelve o ' clock , the old man would nut draw them any more . That the old man told them Uiey had better go iiOKB , it was getting latt *; timt Burlinson was stauiling by the old man when he drew a piecu of iron out of his p . cket and struck him on the head , when tba old man feil down on his knees , and he said " Oh , lao . 8 , don ' t murder iiib . " Some one then came to the tloor , and they afterwards ran out across the strett up the Synagogue ' s Passage ; that two of them went down the Buek Street , and the other ran up Jockey Lane into the Hi ^ h Street . &n < i that they afterwards iiwt on the High Bridge , and then went into Dinroore ' s Fieltis , and ~ when they returned they were taken .
Mr . Beaumont , turgeon , of Knaresbro , " was catted to attend the dt ceased soon after he was found as above described , and he df . scribbd the injuries which he had received on his head . On the right side t . f tbe head , above thu tar , there was a "wound about two inches in extent , and about three inches in depth . The right ear "was divided and hanging down . There was a wound on the right chtek passing into the mouth . Thtre was another wound on the left cfeeek abuut an inch and a half ia extent , and about an inch deep . His left ear was also divided and was hanging down . Tkere were five other wounds en the side and back part of the head , of various dimensions , and the skull was fractured beneath each of them . On tbe long linger of the righthund there was a -wound about an inch long and tue Scgtr was crushed . Tho wound above thu right-ear tbe witness considered a mortal wound ; some of tbe other wounds were also mortal . There was xn > Ueubt that that occasioned tbe death of Cocker .
Witness expressed an opinion at the time that it must have I been some pointed instrument to have iunicied three of ; the wounds . He thought the poker would not have 1 caused the wounds over the right ear or that passing j through the right cheek , but he believed them to have ! been with a pointed instrument . He though a Dam "Tier might have done it . He was of upiuion that the other : ¦ wounds might have been ma . de by a poker . Witness thought , after the post mortem examination had been j made , that tbe wounds hsd beea given by one instru' inent . j Mr .

Nnttall stated that he was innocent of the charga When they wentintoCockershousenothingwassaid , and he had two or three pints of ale , when he went into the yard . He had not been oat 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 on ; as he thought it was a severe thing that was going 0 B , He came back again , aud Gill then knocked the old man several times very baid with the hammer . He iNuttall ) could not have done such a thing ; he never did lift a hand against Cocker , and he was quite innocent .
Mr . William Inchbold , tallow chandler , Knaresbro , proved that the prisoner Nuttall , had been in his employ up , othe 17 th of June . He had anadza upon his premises which be had missed about bis weeks before the murder , but he had found oue half of it . Witness saw Burliuson and Nuttall at Cocker ' s house , about ten o'clock on tbe nii ; ht of tbe 17 th of Jur . o ; they were there when he went in ; they stayed there two or three minutes , nnd then went away , leaving witness in the bouse . Witnega stayed there about five minutes after they had gone . Mr . Wilkins then addressed the Jnry for Nuttail . He contended that his client , although present , did not previously know any thing about the murder , and he did not participate in its commission . Mr . Newton also addressed tho Jury for the other two prisoners , and contended that from all the circumstances of the cob 0 , the prisoners were guiity of manslaughter only .
The Jury retired for a quarter of an hoar , and then feund all the prisoners Guilty . The Judge then put on tbe black cap , and proceeded to p : i-s the sentence of death upon the prisoners , but some of his sentences were inaudible from the low tone of voice in which he addressed there . 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 Btate into which they must eo soon enter . A most awful duty remained fjr him to perform , 'and that was to pronounce upon tbeui tho fieuUwce of the law—that they be severally taken from thauce to the place from whence they came , and that thpy , and each of them , be taken to a plfiw of execution , there to be hanged by the neck , until cn-h of them herfeud ; and that afterwards their bodies s ! i >> uid be buried within the precincts of the prison iii > vhich they had been confined .
The prisoners seemed much affected after hearing the sentence .
HUUDER AT MIRFIELD . Sarah Guldl / wrpe , 18 , was charged with the murder of her illegitimate child at Mirfield . Mr . Lnghah and Mr . Lister were for tbe prosecution ; Mr . WILKINS appeared for the defence . For upwards of three years the prisoner had lived in tho service of Mr . . Murmaduke Ransomo , an elderly gentleman who bad rt-tired from business , and was living at Mirliold , and who occupied part of a dwellinghouse belonging to his son-iu-bw . It was about a twelvemonth since he had first observed that thesiza of the prisoner bad increased , and lie remarked that circumstance to her , and charged her with being in tho family way , upon whicJi she said she Was not , and attributed her iiguro being bo for the want of stays . On
the 24 th of May last , Mr . Iiansome breakfasted between eight and nine o'clock , and he was attended upon by the prinonwr in the usual manner . He then remarked that her figure was more than usually large , and he fold her she was a shame to be seen and that iiiie was to go to IXiWsbury to purchase a pair of staya . Her answer was that she vraa busy Washing that day but she would go in the course of the week . About two hours afterwards Mr . Rausome , who had been out , returned to the house , called the prisoner down stairs to give liim some hot water as he wanted to Bhave hims-ilf . He noticed her figure was much diminish- 'd and that she wua looking very ill . He mode some comment oa her appearance and she said she had been very ill and that was the reason why she had been charged
with being in the family way . As Bue came down stairs he heard soraething which appeared to him like a rubbiug on the ? uir » , and he observed some spots of blomi on the stairs which were partly rubbed out He went up to his lodging-room and in passing the prisoner ' s tioor saw some clothes on thu floor in the room which were marked with blood . Mr . Ransoms told ilia daughter what had patsed and Mr . Parker , tho surge-n , was aont for . He arrived about two O'clock ftud Weat . up stairs and ho there found her ia ted vrit St her clothes on . By thu observations be then made he- bocamo satisfied that either at that time she was in labour or had already given birth to a child . He afterwards saw her in bed , aud he ashed her whtre the- oaild was .
Afttr aouie hr . sUu . tum sh « told , him it w » b u&der the bed . The child was then found between the bed and the mattress , and when it was taken out its head dropped back , the throat being cufc > to the boue . The prisoner was ftskeil VThftt Bhft had done it with , and s / : e at fir . it said with a penknife , nnd alterwanis a razor . A rnajr wiw found among tbe other r ; « urs belonging to he ? master , and it was stained with hluod . T . ' : e aurgeou wm of opinion that the child had beeu born alive . The prisoner had borne a most excelkut oharacter in iher situation ; she was- a plain , . simple , hunest , and even prudent girl . In crots txamiii . 'Uk'i ) , tbt * burgeon siated that differences of opinion txisted umoi ' . g the medical profession aa to tbe tests which i > i-owcil -wher . a ohi ' . xl is born alive .
. Mr . 'Wilkins iiddrassed the Jury for the prisoner , contending Uial the child was dead when it was bum , and that the prisoner was only guilty of attempting io conceal the birth of th » child . The Jury fouad the prisoner guilty of concealing tbe birth John Hanson was aharced with having counterfeit coin iu liis possession at Bradford . Mr . ARMSTRONG and Air . XVASXEY were for the p .-osecut ; on ; air . Hmroyu defendtjd the prisoner . O-i t ! i «* 30 th of June or the 1 st of July , the prisoner paid a bad shilling to Margaret Ackruyd for abalfpenny pie , who shortly ascertained that it waa a bad one . She want to him to return tho shilling , but he would not taitf it . On the Mth of July , tlie constable saw tho prison * r in a public-hduse , 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 abo * t half-past four o ' clock .

with 9 national one . A State Church fa nobndy ' s Church , and suits them exactly . They are not Episcopalians ; Episcopalians are excellent men ; their religion ia not Episcopalian , it is anything or nothing , only It must be national : their religion is not the Christian religion—it is the religion of the Sovereign and his Bishops . Hence they will fight for it , or bribe for it , or drink for- it ; and the / call It the Poor Man ' s Church , because the State ia nothing without the poor man—nothing unless he worka for it and fights for it ( theyare 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 tet 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 of it The poor man has a private religion and 1 b willing to pay to it—those whose religion is public , lathe matter of it , ahould pay for it as well Why should not the publicist 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 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 he has a religion of his own , and that religious freedom , or liberty to bold his own religious views and worship , be guaranteed to every man .

Does this said Cniirvh ( say they ) look like the poer man ' s church ? Is it not a littlo like tlie 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 tho rich , and you may call it by its right name ; but do not belie the church and insult tho poor by Kivia ; it tbe otl . er isoienm } nickname . To call the bish"i ) b' church tbe church of the poor , is to h <; ap upon it thu severest caluiuuy , and arraign it as a culprit at thu bar of religion and common sense . It is the church « f the aristocracy and their youngest sons . Were her wealth her own , this would still be true ; hut is it her own—this poor man ' s wealth ? Alas ! we go from bad to worse—a iarge part of this wealth has absolutely been abstractea from the poor roan ' s pockets to gild the liveries and emblazon the arms of the Bishops . Onethird of her tithes were set aside for the support and relief cf tho poor , and was , for some time , so applied ; but tho Church has contrived to swallow the whole , and
now sends the poor man to the workhouse for relief , if haply he may find it . Tho poor man's Church . ' so indeed she is , if by this is meant that her Bishops have tha poor man ' s money in their pockets , aud that htr enormous wealth has been so far tieductsd from his 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 . Tiiere are six hundretl livings under £ 60 a year , and five hundred more under £ S 0 , besides upwards of five thousand curacies , averaging £ & 0 , and many more ot 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 haa contrived to
uviide . la this sense ahe is , and is determined to continue , the Church of the poor iubb , whom it haa been her practice to keep as poor as she found him . The poorman ' a Church , indeed ! Whose Church is she then ? this State Church ? As a State Church , chitfly of the pnctitaliy infidel and irreligious , Sabbath desecrating lords , who leave it to tbe 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 , cursing . and swearing lords and gentry—( who dares deny it r /— ' who will maintain tho Cuurcb . with their lives and fortunes !
