Jacob W. Ali) , sidd, that about half past nine o'clock on the evening of the dth oi November last, be was Ire Veiling with Isis horse auil cart flour ilioldes , lon to London; when lie ar rived about bine furlongs on I !lib side of Hoddesduis he saw the body of John Cooper, lying on the road. The Wily was pat upon a gate or hurdle, and carried to the nett public. house ; it was evident the deceased had been robbed, as both his breeches pockets had been wined inside out, and lie hash no propel ty about biro then; he newer travelled the road ithoot mons v, which war Well known. lii and about the London Nlactxts. John Sou soy, another higler, stated, that on the evening Jiitin Cooper was dercd, lie was coming from London with lois waggon and 'Cain; when about tau miles how Hod uesilou, it mats passed by him, and inquired how many miles to iloddesdou ; shortly afterwards another man ' , wised by him, and inquired his way to Hoilde.dou. When lie got through ‘Varinsley, ahem 11 tiles front the place where the two mru passed him, lie met than again reterning, walking very fast and whist hog : our. of them was :thout four feet seven inches high, and wore a light coloured jacket and smock frock ; the other wore a 1141 k coloured short fro. .k, and was somewhat taller. lie knew their faces well in London, but was not snf fieiently well acquainted with them to ask them any ques tions; lie thought it very si ngnlar to meet them in such a manner so far out of town. The murder was committed within the time they lint passed him and their passing him a second time. When he arrived in London, and heard of the murder, lie related the eh euinstanee publicly, and inquired for them, but he had not met with them since. Another higler met the same men on the road the evening ot the mm der, and described their dress in the same 1114 'r the last w itiirss did. They used to work in Spitaltichls, and do any job they mild get from any one. The Magisti airs sent fur Mr. Wordy, who had employed them, and examined him. He said he had been in the habit of employing them occasionally ; they had left him prior to the minter, but did not know where they went to. They were both single in , m, rather of dissolute habits, and uutrh addicted to d& inking when they had any money. Their chief employment was market portering, but they had nut been seen in the market since the marder was committed. SEDUCTION.—About a fortnight since a most beauti ful and accomplished girl, 18 veers of age, the only daughter of a respectable tradesman at Bath, eloped from her parents' protection with a Captain in the army and who, it seems, is already married. The afflicted father of the young lady lost no time in pursuing them, but it was not until Wednesday that, after a must difficult search, he succeeded in discoveiing that they had taken apartments in Manor Place, in the Kings Road, Chelsea ; and having made application at Bow Street, he procured Smith. and two other officers to accompany him to the residence of the lovers. On inquiry, finding they were gone out, but expected home to dinner, the father and officers placed themselves in ambush at a public house near opposite, where, after having waited upwards of three hours, they saw them pass on the op posite side of the road. The father, with the officers, immediately pursued, and overtook them, .just as they were entering the house where they resided. The anxious father directly seized his child, who, in all the agony of surprise and terror, clung to her lover for protection,who vowed no earthly force should part them ; and it was not without the utmost difficulty (the lover being of a powerful and athletic make) that they could be sepa rated. In the struggle the gentleman's coat was lit terally torn to pieces. The fuller and daughter, with the officers,l!toceeded to the public-house, tidlowed by the disconsolate Captain in tatters, when a scene ensued that baffles description ; the fitther entreating his child t o return to the arms and ease the anguish of her almost broken hearted mother—the lover imploring her, with tears not to fimrsrke him. This having taken place in a Public tap-room filled with spectators, the father, daughter and discomforted lover, with the officers, retired to a private room, and at length the two dormer, still accompanied by the officers draw off in a hackney coach, leaving the Captain voeiferating that he would immediately tidlow them to Bath, and assuring the weeping fair one she should Si oo be restored to tom. — This aflitir will no doubt f e roi s l, employ to the gentle men of the long robe, as the iiithee of the young lady more than once expressed hi.• determination to prosecute the Captain for seduction.
