_ Remarkable DeteBisn of 2 Murder. /% tarmer,on his return fromthe market, st Sout- 2 X ham,in the county of Warwich, was murther- ed. A man wentthe rext moraing to his wife, ¢nd enquired if her hufbsnd camehome the evening before ; fhe replied no, and that fhe was under the u'meft anxiety and terror on that sccount, Your ter- ‘o5, faid he cannot equal mine, for laft night, as I lay i1 bed, quite awake, the apparition of your hufbsad tppesred to me, fhewed me feveral goftly ftabs in his bedy, told me he had been murder’d by fuch a per- ‘on, and his carcafs thrown into s marle pit. The slarm was given, the pit fearched, the body found, ard the wounds anfwered the defcription of them. The man whom the ghoft had scculed, was appre- liended end commiited on a violent (ufpicion of mur- ther. His trial czme on,at Warwick,before the lord chief juftice Raymond, when the jury would hsve coavi€led, as rafhly asthe juftice of the peace had comimitted him, had not the judge checked them. ile addrefled him'elf to them in words to this pur- pole ; ¢ [ thirk, gentlemen, you feem inclined to lay more firefs oa the evidence of an apparition, than it will bear. T cannot fay that [ give much credit to thefe kind of florics ; but be that as it will, we have no right to follow our own private opinions here : We are now in a court of law, and muft determine accoraiggto it ; and I know not of eny law now in being which will admic of the teltimony of an ap- parition ; nor yetif it did doth the ghoft appear to giveevidence.”......**Crier,” (aid he ** call the ghott.” which was thrice done 0 no manner of purpale, it sppearéd not, « Gentlemen of the jury, continued the judge, * the prifoner atthe bar, as you have heard, by ua- denizbie witnefles, is * man of 8 moft unblemifhed character : nor hath it eppeared, inthe courle of the examination, that there was any manner of quarrel or grudge between him and the party decealed.... .....1 doverily believe him to be perfeéily innocent; and, as there is no evidence againft him, either pofi- tive or circumitantisl, he muft be acquitted. But from many circumftances which have srofe, during the trial,I do ftrongly fufpeét that the gentleman who faw the apparition, was himfelf the murtherer; in which cale, he might eafily slcertain the pit, ftabs, &c. without sny fupernstursl affitance ; and on fuch fulpicion, I'fhall chink myfelf jultified in committing him to clole cuftody, till the matter can be further enquired into.” This was immediately done, and o wacrent granted for fearching his houfe, when fuch ftrong proots of guilt appeared againft him, that he confelled the murther, and was exccated &t the next aflze, € s e B oemme TO BE SOLD AT a Public Vendue to the highe® Bidder, by Facob Curtis, on Tuefdry the Third Day of Auguft, at Ten a Clock in the Fore- noon, et Kobert Pattens, Innholder at Arundel, 2 Tie&t of Land containing feventy five Acres, [cituste in the fecond Parifh in Wells, called Kenebunk, very commodious eitber for a Farmer or Trad{man, with s new Dwelling Houle,and confiderable of Improve- ment been mude thercon, good Pafturing, Carn or Grafs Land, well wocded and well Watered, con- venient boch ‘to Meeting and Mill, N.
