The hole in the tap, eatat which they drew water, was large enough for a man in liquor to tumble in. The water in the well looked very thick; and she dipped d.wn the pan. when she saw the deceased's hat on his head, and part of his face. She went immediately to her master, and said to hint, ,• Good 'gracious master, there is a man in the well!" Tuck was letting this awls out. lie went and looked into the well, and said, " Good gnaws I I s . x pose it is the poor old ostler." He seemed very in abobeed. deceased seemed as if he was standing in the well Her luster came back, and told Radium the poor old ogler was in thwerell. Her master, Robinson, Crouch, and Saunders, took the body est, and put it ja the brewhouse with its clothes on. The deonners Sell and brother came soon after. Her master could eat no breakibet je h e l s lid d . because it had shocked him so. Her master sent for the 's brother. Then followed the evideace of Tuck's servant, B. Petts, who was em ployed to carry the notes to the brewer, and which were delivered to I'. Eldridge, clerk to Mr. Baiasford. brewer at Enfield, and among which were the two nou n proved to have been in the possession of Dra per on the day of the murder. D. Draper, brother of the deceased, was sent for on the morning of the 9th of August, to the Stag. Tuck was the first he saw, and he asked him if he had taken care of his brother's property. Tucksaid, what property he had about hint hey supposed he had then, for he did not know what he had about him. The body was in the brewhouse, with the clothes on, Tuck said witness should see him, and he might search hint. The deceased's son then searched his pockets, and fosusd two pocket-books, which contained nothing hut orders of Cotut said summoners, and a purse, containing nine shillings and a halfpenny.— The papers were quite wet. Nothing was said then about th e pro. rty. - When Thai saw the body he turned sick, and retched very uch. lie was obliged to leave the brewhowie. Witness left Tuck'ss house almost immediately. At times hi, hmthei carried large sums in notes, He received IN notes of 11. each. from Eldridge. two of .which he gave to Head the Officer.

During his examhastion, 'ruck lent witness his chaise to go down to fetch up one of the *Mnses. Draper reexamined.—Said he never took the pocket-hooks and put !hem in his pocket, saying they were all right. lie examined the pa pers when he got about 5(10 yards from Tuck's house. Mr. Reynolds, an attorney at Chi:shunt. went to Potter's-bar on the morning of the nth of August. He saw the deceased there; and paid hint three O. notes, on &count of a client of the name of Chimp& (hoot" the notes which Smith received front Tuck's boy, was one of those which he paid to the deceased. He had 'written 19 on it, because it was the top of a parcel of notes amounting to 191.—This was fully confirmed by the endenceof the wither's son. Keziahlttreet proved, she paid Draper. the deceased, a 11. note with other monies. Being abeam one of the two notes which Read the offi cer had prodweed; she swore - that was the note she paid to - the deceased an the loth ofJ fly. Mr. Clark, a surgeon at Enfield, by desire of the Coroner, examined the body, and thought the mark on the neck indicated a sufficient blow to have stunned a man, He did not think the blow who the immediate cause of his dwitji. Mr. Holt, also at Enfield. examined the body on the 13th of Augun, and dieaetrsafi bruise* on the side of the neck to a consider able el t _temeillmely under the ear, and there appeared to have been a ue lakeidinglhem the ear. He thought the blow on the ear suffi cient to peados lneentribllity, and might have occasioned death, more likely in a pine full of liquor than m one who was temperate and sober. Here the caw for the prosecution was closed, and the prisoner was put on his defence. The prisoner then put his hand on his heart, aund declared himself perfectly innocent of the heinous crime alledged spinet him ; and left case to the Court and a Jury of his country. A great number of witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for honesty and humanity. Mr. Baron GRAHAM then proceeded to sum up the evidence. lie began by observing, that it seemed quite clear that a flair. der had been committed for Ike es idence of the surgeons was distinct as to the probable effilet of the blow, the marks of which were so visible under I)raper's car. The blow too ap peared to have been dealt by a person well skilled in the science of producing stupefaction at least, it' not death, by one etfeettial stroke. Granting then, what seemed scarcely to ad mit of dispute, that Draper had been murdered, the question to be considered was, whether the pi leaner's wits the hand, or sore of' the hands, that perpetrated this act of wickedness. stoat here the . Jury should first sift the probability of the alle gation preferred by the prisoner, that Draper had received this blow of which the marks were esrvisible) in his wrestling with any of the pennon in the pnblichottse. Now two wit. messes loud positively SWIIIII that no blows steer struck in the eery trifling wrestling that took place, The deceased bad merely received a posh which threw him backwards. It was a vire 1111 l stance deserving tl.eir attention, that when Draper was ont,three 111',1401/4, (though 'ruck was not one of the:o, Black, Crouch. and Saunders, went oust lifter h' , and were seen no more in the house that night. 'rock, to he slue remained some time afterwards in the parlour. The most material evidence ma' that of the boy, Johnson, who swore positivels to the fact of having seen, at about half past I l of the night iu ipteation, tiair persons ( the foremost of whom was Tuck) come out hastily of latek's house. He knew Tuck by his face, (fur it ea, moonlight) soul by his voice; and heard Dim say. " his old eves, he's gone round here." Another of the time then lid, " i.et's folk - mil ' bins a good hiding " possession, almost been a parcel of those notes which Draper lind collei;ted, and of which he had been completely stripped. It was proved by the intelligent lad who was clerk to the brewer, that he hail called upon '1 tack twice in the coarse of the day in the evening of which Draper was murdeied: it was proved - that Mra.Tuck, had then been unable to pay his detaand, though the money was sent early the next inor ii ill g and part of the money so scut, and marked with the clerk's signature. consisted of two notes, which had been in the possession of Draper. the other hand it was in evidence that Mrs. Tuck, though she had not the saw on the preceding day, had however promised to scud it; that a person had lent Mrs. Tuck six pounds about seven o'clock in the evening, before Draper arrived ; and that Tack himself had, at 6 o'clock time same evening, ordered his boy to be in rea diness to go with a parcel to the brewer on the next morning.— The next circumstance which at all weighed upon the point in issue, was the behaviour of Tuck, as deposed to by Draper's brother. He allowed that Tuck answered all his questions; but when he was asked to go with him and show the dead body he became pale, very agitated and sick, and retched violently , Tuck's servant also had deposed that, her master had declared that the death of the old man had made him ill, and that he could not eat any breakfast. The , prisoner, in his defence, had laid his hand upon his heart, and had maintained his innocence in a bald and solemn mauner. lie had also called a great num ber of witnesses to character, and several of them were appa rently creditable persons. They had known the prisoner for varions periods, some even from his childhood, and all deposed that lie bore a good character for honesty and linnianity. —The circumstances, as he had before said, lay in small com pass. A man had been murdered—evidently murdered. The blow in the neck—the upright posture in the 'well—the utter absence of all appearance of struggle, occasioned, no doubt, by the stupifyin; blow— that blow too applied with such akin in the very part of the body where it would be most fatal—the house °coupled by a• landlord and guests, all well skilled in that pernicious science—the well, so ready at hand to throw in the dead body—that body, too, absolutely stripped of all its pro• party ;—ali these were circumstances which the jury would take into; their consideration. Was Tuck the murderer, or one of the murderers: , Had he reheated satisfactorily the evi dence of Johnson, who swore to seeing him run out of his house, and who had heard him use the MOM violent expressions. Did those expressions admit of any interpretation short of a guilty one. The note too—how was that difficulty to be explained i it might be conjectured, but it had not been proved, that the note traced from Draper to Tuck had been paid by the de ceased for part of his reckoning. This, however, was not in .evidence. Were the jury to believe that Tuck had no motive to commit this crime; or were they to imagine that lie had, on being pressed by the brewer fur payment, made the desperate resolution of paying his debts by murder and robbery i All these considerations they would weigh fully and deliberately ; and tithe circumstances appeared to them to warrant a verdict of guilty, they would honestly pronounce it : if there were just cause of doubt, they would acquit the prisoner. The Jury then, having retired and deliberated fur hair an hour. returned a verdict of—Nu Gritty. The prisoner, however , who was arraigned upon two indict. ments, is to take his trial for the robbery. The trial did not terminate until past ten o'clock at night. CHARMS OF Mt/RDER.

He deposed, that on that day he went into Newgate to s isit an unfortunate friend who was in that prison. immediately on is going through the second gate, the prisoner jostled against him and look his watch from his fob, and immediately handeJ it to another person. Witness directly collared him, and the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. Newman, the governor of Newgate, deposed. that he insisted on the production of the Ivatch before the riots, and in about 20 minutes it was handed through the grating. Samuel Davis, une at' the toorukeSs, stated, that he saw the prosecutor come in, and saw Levy run against him. and Monk caught hold of him directly, but on his being taken into a cell and examined, no watch could he found on him. The prisoner, in his defence, denied the charge, and called two unconvicted prisoners, Dwyer and Jordan, to prove that he had nothing to do with the robbery ; but these wit nesses thought it most prudent to affect a total ignorance of the circumstance. The Jury found the prisoner gnilty, and the Common Ser. jeant, learning that there was a bill against him him far a high way robbery, forbore to pasv sentence ur - u him. W. Morgan was convicted of stealing Manchester goods to the amount of 40s. in the dwelling-house of Messrs. Butter worth and livens. Gnitty—lleath. OF THE CONSPIRATORS.

There were other counts in the indictment, one of which charged tha prisoners, generally, with conspiring to induce persons to COMM vari ous burglaries, for the purpose of procuring the rewards attendant upon conviction for such iClonies. Mr. Rolland, on the part of the Crown, opened the indictment, and the case was stated by Mr. GURNEY at considerable length, in the course of which, he detailed to the Court and Jury, the various circumstances, which have already been so ftequently betbre the public, and which arose from the several examinationsof the prisoners, together with the confession of Muckay.,--The learned Counsel addressed the Jury forcibly upon the ferment that these cases had excited in the public mind, but en treated them not to be led away by any previous feeling, which popular opinion or prejudice might have canted, but to decide entirely upon the evidence which he should this day produced. Much of this he would not hesitate to say should be watched with jealou.sy and caution, as it . would be detailed by those who were themselves engaged in the transactions which were the subject of the pristine's' offence.—The witness, however, whom he was prepared' to bring forward, who would corroborate by their t4..sti monj all the principle features of the ace, would be so conclusive, that he had no doubt the Jury would feel it to be their imperative duty, to pronounce: the prisoitime Guilty.
