Mr . Brown a Surgeon , corroborated the evidence of Dr . Cruikshank . Pie likewise deposed as to a short conversation he had with the deceased when he tvent to administer lo him . Upon his asking him how it had happened , he replied Miss Jones had been the cause of all . Robert Jaggett , a labouring Mason , was at work at about sixty yards distance from the deceased's house , and hearing lhe report of a pistol , and the cry of murder , lie ran towards the sound . When lie got to she deceased's house in Staffordhe saw a crowd round the doorand the door was openedwhen in

vow , , , a person black cairic out : a young girl , exclaimed , ' ¦ ' That is the man that shot my Master . " The Witness instantly seized him , and delivering him over to the custody of another person , went round to the back part of the house , to endeavour to get in . He scrambled over a wall , eleven feet high , in order to get . to Mr . Yates ' s garden . When he got there , he perceived him lying on the grass . He said he had been shot . The Witnes ; a . kr .-J bv whom ? He replied , a man in black , with light hair . The Witness . concluded it to be the same man he had seen . He therefore into the hou

• endeavoured to get = e , but the dcors were fast ; however he got between the bars of the win . inc . - a ; which the deceased had unsuccessfully tried , and immediately went and opened the street'door . He cbllarcd Sellers , and took him through the lions' ? into the garden , and asked the deceased if that was the man ? he said it was : Seller . ; fell on one knee , and made some obscrva- * tions to the deceased , but what they were the Witness could not hear , as he went off for assistance . A Gentleman , who lived next door to the deceased , deposed to hearing the report of the pistol , and mounted the top of the garden-wail , by means of a ladder , where he saw the deceased , who said he had been shot . That he went round and

saw Sellers taKen into custody by lhe ma on and another person , and went with him into the garden , when he fell on his knee , and asked the deceased to forgive him , for that he did not intend it ; to which the deceased made no reply , but only observed to the persons about him that he was the man who did it . Henry Clapton was passing by at the time the pistol was fired , and saw the Prisoner open the door , and the young girl desiring he might be slopped ; that he assisted in so doing , and interrogating him afterwards , as to his motive for ' committing such an action , he replid , he did not intend it , and that he did not

pull the trigger . Tho Witness corroborated the foregoing evidence . It was conceived by the Jury , as strong circumstantial proof , that the pistol was loaded by the parties , and was not acciden ' ally in that state , by Sellers being desired to tell what the contents were , in or . ler to enable the Surgeon to extract the ball—when he replied , there was only one ball in the pistol . The Coroner , in a short address to the Jury , informed them what were to be the subjects of their consideration in returning Iheir verdict . They were to judge whether the parties were all participant , in the murder , and knew it was to take

place ; or could have prevented it , and did not ; in either case they were equally culpable , and alike punishable by the Laws of this Country . If they were satisfied , from the conduct of the parties during the whole of the day , that they act c in concert , it was quite sufficient to implicate them in the guilt of the party , who actually did commit the Murder which had been so unequivocally proved . The Jury-consulted about ten minutes , and returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Sellers , EHxahetb Jones , and Rieb . ird I ' oo ' ney . The Inquisition commenced at six o ' clock in the evening , and was not finished till past twelve .
