this morning and told me that he had got a letter from the had gone with them to the waterside to wait I be married I saw my sister's body taken out oftlie in the barn I knew it by the things she had on HUKC SCULCOATES DISPENSARY. A General MEETING of the Subscribers to this institu-L tion, will be held at the Dispensary, To-morrow, Wednesday, August 13, at Twelve o'Clock precisely, to Elect a SURGEON in the place of Mr. Craven, resigned. WILLIAM LAVERACK, Hon. Sec.

Rev. Mr. Whitmore, from London, and in tnat letter mere was a warrant to have Maria taken up; and, to have her prosecuted for her bastard children I said, Oh William, if you had but married Maria before the child was born, all this would have been settled." He replied, Don't make, yourself uneasy, Mrs. Marten, I am going to Ipswich to-day to.see if I can't get a license to be married fo-morro morning." I said, "William, what will you "do if you can't be married?" He said, "Mrs. Marten, don't make yourself at all unhappy, for she shall be my lawful wife before I come home." I said, What will you do if you can't 1" He said, If I can't, I will get her a place to be in till such time as we can be married." Maria, after this conversation, came down, dressed in man's attire he asked me to go down into the yard to see if there was any body about to see her go away.

Nothing was said about the man's clothes after she came down stairs she had a man's hat on she told me it was William's hat, but he was not present at the time. She had a large comb and two small side combs, in her hair, and ear-rings in her ears; I had seen the ear-rings frequently. They left our cottage about half-past twelve o'clock Maria, went out at one door, and Corder at the other Maria went down a field and got over a gate leading into Ayers' Hill-field, and they both walked together down this field, which leads to the Red Barn. I did not see Corder again that day I have not seen Maria Marten since the prisoner had a gun in his hand when he left the cottage with Maria I said to him that morning, is this gun charged, William and he replied, yes and I said I will remove it, for fear of the child Maria had a green cotton umbrella in her hand when she left the cottage; next time I saw Corder was on the Saturday night, but I did not speak to him I was in a shop, and Corder was in a chamber where his brother James was lying ill I again saw Corder on Sunday morning at my house, about nine o'clock; I said to him, William, what have you done with Maria he said, "I have left her at Ipswich be said he had got her a comfortable place, and she was going with Miss Rowland by the water-side; on my asking what she would do for clothes he said, Miss Rowland had got plenty he told me he had got a license, but it must go to London to be signed, and he could not marry Maria til 1 a month or six weeks that he had changed check for 20, and had given Maria the money. The prisoner described their journey to Tpswich; and then I askeS him where she dressed; he told me she put her -things on in the barn, and a great coat that she went great coat and hat were put into the-seat 6( thebox of his ehr.

arid she put-her own-baton. rMy-sori GeotgeHold roe something on the 18th of and I told Uorder ot it the next week 1 said, William, you did not go from the bam so soon as you told tne you should;" he. said, Yes, Mrs. Marten, I am sure I did for I left withiii half or three quarters of an hour of, the time I left here;" I said, "No, William, that you didn't for my son George saw you go down the Thistle lay with a pick-axe over your shoulder Thistle. Lay is very near the Red Barn he said, "Mrs.

Marten, I am sure it was not me, it was Tom Acres, who had been planting trees on Mr. Hoy's hill." I- often saw Corder after Maria went away till he went away sometimes two or three times a day. I saw him after his brother died in July, 1827; he always said that Maria was very well, and was at Yarmouth, with Miss Rowland. Sometimes I did not see the prisoner for a day or two and when he went away, he said he was going to see Maria, and, on his return, when I asked him how Maria was, he said she was very well. He told me he should take her home at Michaelmas, and put her into the farm.

I never received any letter from MariaMarten after she left. I have more than once spoken to Corder about Maria not writing. He said more than once, and at different times, she had got a bad hand he never gave me any other reason for her not writing. I saw Corder before he went away from Polstead he came to take leave of me he said he was going down by the water side for his health, and should take Maria with him, and be married at Ipswich I never saw Corder after that time, till he was apprehended I have not seen the dead body, I was very ill at the time. Maria Marten had a wen in her neck, and was troubled with a confirmed cough at the time she left.

I believe Maria had a silk handkerchief round her neck when she went Sway with asked Corder where that handker chief was, which he was to have brought back, and ue said it was lost. I recollect James Corder's funeral the prisoner was there he had Maria's umbrella with him. James Corder died soon after Maria went away on the 18th of May I had conversations with Corder about the umbrella after the funeral I said to him, William, you had got Maria's umbrella at your brother James's burial he said it was not Maria's, but it was Deborah Pykes's, which was left there, and they were going to send it home 1 said, William, I think that was Maria's umbrella he said, No, Mfs. Martin, it was not, it was one just like it. About a week before Corder went away, or it might be a little more, Uorder said he had been to Ipswich to meet Maria, who had come over from Yarmouth to Tpswich to meet him, and Maria had lent him her umbrella to come home with, and he should have got dripping wet but tor that he said he was going to take the umbrella with hira back to Maria.

Before he and Maria went away, he showed me a gold round ring before his brother, and said it was Maria's wedding ring, and he had bought it at Colchester; he and Maria had been away from the house tog-ether that day; I isaw two Jiistols in- Corder's possession at ray house, after Maria came home with the infant from Sudbury. On cross-examination by Mr. Broderiek, the witness said I was anxious that Maria should be married to the prisoner, I do not know that she was equally anxious. When Maria went to Sudbury, she was absent just two months, and the prisoner brought her and the child back his gig. I-cannot say at what-precise time the child died the prisoner and Maria took it away to he buried as they told me, but did not tell me at what place.

Maria was absent two days and two nights, and Maria told me the child was buried at Sudbury. The prisoner told me that the two nights Maria was absent, she was witn mm at his mother's, and they told me to tell my husband they had been at Sudbury. Her sister sometimes quarrelled with Maria, because she dressed smarter than her, and Maria sometimes quarrelled with her father, and was low spirited about it. On the day they went away, Corder gave Maria some ham out ot his pocket. He paid me a weekly allowance for the child, but did not give Maria money, as she had means ot support.

She had a child by Mr. Mat thews, and he allowed her 5 a quarter to maintain it No one but tbe prisoner told me the-parish officers were after Maria, about the bastard children. I and my husband were afraid she would be taken up about the children, and she therefore kept in the house. She was low spirited and crying, When she went away with the prisoner on the 18th. Corder often brought a gun with him when he called at my house.

Mr. Wayman, who sat as the coroner, is the attorney for the prosecution. I was sworn and exa mined at the Cock, at-Polstead, by Mr. Wayman, after the coroner's inquest, a magistrate being then present. At the.time the conversation took place about the 5 note, the prisoner said, Never mind, as long as I have a shilling you shall have it, and they appeared to be very fond of eacn other.

Thomas Marten, examined. I live at Polstead, and am a mole-catcher on Saturday, the 19th of May, I discovered that Maria had left home; I saw Corder on the Sunday, and ne told me that he had taken my daughter to be married to her, but the license must go to London before they could be married he told me he had got a place for her with a youg lady, at Ipswich, named Rowland, the sister of his schoolmaster, to go to the water-side for the benefit ot ner health. I had repeated conversations with the prisoner after Maria left home: he said she was quite well I asked him why she did not write to rhe the first time was about a month or five weeks after she went away, and he told me she had a sore on the back of her hand, and could not hold her pen I asked him once after that, and he said she was so full of business that she had not any opportunity. Corder left Polstead in September. After he wgnt away, I received two letters from him I heard no more from him after I had these letters.

I searched the Red Barn oh the 19th of April last the bays were covered with litter and fodder bailiff was in before trie his; name is William Pryke we began to poke down we could, find any thihgand after itrying that; Way; rinding the straw thick, we removed it with a rake, and found some great stones in the middle of the right hand bay, and on account of the stones being up, I thought the earth had been disturbed I poked down the earth with the handle of a rake, and with a mole spike "that I had with me; we turned up something that was black, and pieces of something like flesh stuck to the spike, and I smelled it, and thought it was flesh we were, both of us, struck on seeing this, and' we waited to get else the mole spike was iron, about a foot long, and round; I remained near the barn until Pryke returned with William Bowtell we removed the earth away until we came to a body we cleared towards the head part, and there we found a handkerchief which appeared to be tied, round the neck; we left the handkerchief as we found it, except we raised part of it to see the colour; it was placed two or three times round the neck, and appeared to be tight we cleared the earth from towards the feet the body was lying down, but not stretched out it was about three feet and a half long the legs were bent up, and the head was bent down a little in the earth the mole spike was driven into the body about the hip bone; I went away and left Pryke arid Bowtell there, and returned to i them in half an hour, in company with other persons when I went away her shoes were lost; but I saw them' wnen returned Mr. Whitmore came with me to the barn, and he advised me to let the body alone till the Coroner came, and we did so the Coroner came next dav, and I went with him to the barn. Mr." Lawton, the sur geon, was there; the body was in the hole in the same state as when I left it on Saturday the surgeon had a door placed under the body, and it was raised up and brought to the light; I could not tell the body, but I thought when they turned the bod tip. it was like the mouth of my daughter Maria the things upon the body were given to Bay lam, the constable a shawl was underneath the body when it was taken up there were also earrings found, parts of stays, and a wooden busk; I saw some combs taken out of the deceased's hair. This witness was cross-examined by Mr.

Broderiek. Ann Marten, the sister of Maria Marten.

Next week, another Hanfersation place, when she said she had heard that JCfe had been seen near the barn with a pick-axe. He re: plied, It was not me, but a man of the name of Acres, who had been rooting up trees. From that time till the harvest, Corder saw her father, mother, and other of her relatives, frequently. The account he gave was, that she was living Witrrhis friends, as he had introduced her to a Miss; Rowland; and she was very well off. The mother complained of her not writing, when he gave different reasons, such as being too busy, a sore hand, and others.

To other persons he had said Maria Marten bad gone to France, by the steam-packet and to other persons he had made statements which it would be their duty particularly to attend to. fb a person of the name of Stow he had said, in answer to questions, that Marialived not far from the barn. That likely to have any more childten that he could go to her whenever he liked and if he did not see her, no other person did. Some time about the 18th May he borrowed a spade from a woman in the neighbourhood. During the harvest Corder superintended the workmen and some time previous to the 18th May, and up to the harvest, the barn was empty, excepting some litter scattered on the floor, when Corder directed the labourers to place the first wheat on the upper bay of the barn.

The barn; of which they had a model before them, was surrounded by out-buildings, and boarded all round, with a gate about seven feet high. After the harvest Corder went to Colchester; and on his way told the driver that he had not'seen Maria since May. Before leaving Polstead, he told Maria's father he was going away, that he had sent her money to get a new suit, and on the 10th of October, the: father received a letter from him with the London mark, in which he said he was going to make Maria his wife, and that she had written to him, and was surprised at not receiving an answer. Inquiry was made, and no such letter or letters had passed the London post-office. He afterwards wrote that she was residing at the Isle of Wight.

In a conversation with a Mr. Mathews, in the month of November, he also stated that she was at the Isle of Wight, and that he could not make her his wife till his affairs were The parehts, on not hearing from their daughter, became anxiousand uneasy, and suspicious. This suspicion was increased by a variety of circumstances, and directed towards the barn. The father, in consequence, resolved to search it, and, after vain attempts in two or three places, he at last found a body in the upper bay of; the barn, about a foot and a half below the surface. This body had on a female dress, was that of a female, and several parts, of the dress, such as the petticoat, shoes, were discovered.

Around the neck was a green silk handkerchief, and another below the body. The body had certain marks which the parents and surgeon had seen, and which corresponded with those on Maria Marten. There was a wen on the neck, and two teeth were wanting in the dead body. The mother would prove that her daughter had similar marks. The face was not altogether defaced, tie dress -was xwtlthat, the witnesses would nnn clio x.mvt.

nr. luQvinir liar mtv'a tmiica Besides this, she had complained often of a pain in her side, and on opening the body, the Burgeon found that it was considerably inflamed in those parts. The surgeon 'also found a pistol-ball in her neck, a cut in. the neck from some sharp and another wound between the fifth and sixth ribs, and. also that green handkerchief had been pulled tighter, so as to strangle her.

In conse quence of this, suspicion fell on the prisoner an officer 'jraifc'sent off to London, and Lea, another police-officer, was iStppointed to apprehend him. He found him at Ealing, and informed him that he had to apprehend him on a serious charge about a young woman and asked him it he knew Maria Marten, He said No. On being asked a second time, he' said No, never. Lea said he would ask a third time for the last. He didso, and received for answer No, -never.

He then apprehended him, brought mm down, and had him committed. Lea then proceeded to search the house in which Corder was apprehended, and found a black velvet bag, lined with silk with a peculiar edging. In the bag was a pair of pistols, and on a second search Lea found a.sword in. the house. These were the principal facts of the case, and he would leave them to the Jury.

He had, however, to state, that Corder, previous to the 18th May, had sent a sword to a cutler to be ground, and this sword was afterwards seen in his possession at Polstead. He would make no observation on these facts, but call on the Jurj- to examine them themselves, as they would be proved by the different witnesses, He had only one observation further to make the case had excited extraordinary interest; and naturally gave rise, to various reports, many of which' were without foundation. These reports, or any impression made by them on the minds of the Jury, ought to be forgotten on the present investigation. They must be guided solely by the facts brought before them, and he called upon them as bound in duty to the public, the prisoner, and themselves, to give, them that mature and impartial investigation which such a grave and serious charge required. If, after having done so, they were not folly convinced ofthe prisoner's guilt, they must acquit him on the other hand, they should have no doubt of the charge being clearly proved, they must, in duty to their country and to their own consciences, return a verdict of guilty.

EVIDENCE. Anne MartpnT live at Pnlstpad. mv husband Thomas Marten had a daughter, named Maria Marten, before I was married to him. I have known the prisoner 17 years, he ln'the habit of coming to bur house a year before the I8thof Mav, 1827; he was intimately acquainted witn Maria, and she became pregnant by him. She was delivered at.Sudbury, and returned home with the child about seven Weeks before the 18th of May; the child died in about a for.tniirht after, and I heard conversations between the pri- 'Qoer and Maria about the burial of the child; he said he had earned it to Sudbury.

Maria had had a child eetore which child was living. with.me iHpnt a week betora tne isthot May, i neaid tnem taiK note; and she told the prisoner he had taken the otead oui of her mou th and the child's. I also heard the nrison'er tell Maria that the officer of the parish was'ahout to take her up for having a bastard child. The 18th os May Was a Friday, and on the previous Sunday the prisoner came and said, lie was some to take Maria to aleip that night at his mother's house, and she was to accompany him next day to Ipswich. Maria went away wnii uuu, out returned nome aoout tnree o'ciock tne next morning.

In the course of Mondav the prisoner called. ari'dsaid, he should drive Maria to Ipswich on the follow ing: Wednesday, but he afterwards said he could not go on that aay as it was stoke tair, and it was fixed that they should go on Thursday night the prisoner put it off again, on account as he said of his brother James being so bad, that his death was expected every hour. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Friday the 18th of 1 was up stairs with Maria, when Corder came into the room and said, Come, Maria, make haste, I am going," she replied, How can I go at this time of day without being seen He Said; "Never mind; you have been disappointed many times, 'but shall hot be so any more she again said, she could not go wiuiuui ucmg seen, and uorder said, iou can go up to the RedBarn, and wait there till I come with my horse and gig;" she said, "How am I to order my things Corder said he would take the things and carry 'them up to the barn, and come back and walk with her she said again, How can I get'away without any one seeing me?" he replied, "There are none of my workmen near the barn, and Tam sure the coast is quite clear;" the things were then put into a brown Holland bag, which belonged to Maria the things were a reticule wicker basket, a velvet reticule which was put into the basket, two pair of black silk a black silk a black cambric skirt, The prisoner took the bag, and went away, and I then assisted Maria to dress herself in a man's clothes. While Corder was at my house that morning, I observed him snap his pistols two or three times. I do riot know from-' whence he got them she was dressed in blue trowsers, a striped waistcoat, and a brown coat she had under this dress a shift, a pair of stays, and a flannel under cost I kriow all those things well, and likewise her shoes.

Affer Maria vas dressed, the prisoner came back, and the prisqnersaid tome, "Mrs. Sflarteii, tjie reason (hat I go to Ipswioh' fo-day is, that John $ay the constable, has come into the stables to rhe THE FOLSTEAD MtJRBER. TRIAL of WILLIAM 'CORDER, AT BURY ST. EDMUND'S, FOB THE MURDER OF MARIA MARTEN. Thursday, August 7.

Such was the extraordinary excitement produced by the trial of the person charged with the murder of the unfortunate Maria Marten, that soon after day-break, although the morning was a continued rain, people began to collect in the church-yard, in front of the Court-house and at; seven o'clock the crowd, was so great that the doors were; completely blocked up. The arrangements by the civil; power were so badly taken, that no passage was kept open through the multitude for the access of the Counsel and the officers of the court. The consequence was, that the gentlemen of the bar, the Clerk of Arraigns, the Crier of the Court, and other official persons, had to fight their way, as" well as they could, through the populace, at the risk of life and limb. Several, on getting into court, appeared to nave been nearly suffocated, and the wigs anil gowns were thrown into a state of sad disarray. Loud were the complaints- against the Sheriff's officers and the javelinmen, who, if they had kept opeu an avenue to the court in the, morning, instead of remaining passively within the barriers, might have prevented the confusion.

Several of trie Jurymen seemed to have suffered considerably, and much time had elapsed before there were a sufficient number to make a Jury. A Jury having been at length sworn, the Clerk of the Arraigns desired Wm. Corder to stand forward. William Corder then appeared at the bar. He was genteelly dressed in a dark frock-coat, with velvet collar.

He appeared in rather good health, and looked about him at the Court and Jury with an air of assumed confidence. His countenance was that of an ordinary young farmer. The Clerk of the Court then proceeded to arraign the prisoner, and read over the indictment, which comprised ten counts; in the first the murder was alleged to have been committed by the prisoner on the 18th of May, 1827, by discharging a pistol, loaded with powder and shot, upon Maria Marten, and thereby giving her a mortal wound on the left side of the face and that by those means, wilfully, feloniously, and of his malice aforethought, he caused the death of the said Maria Marten. The second count laid the offence as having, been committed by. striking the deceased with a sword upon the left side of the body, be tween the fifth and sixth ribs, and thereby giving her a mortal wound, of which she instantly died the tnird cyliht stated that the murder was committed by striking tlie deceased with a sword on the left side of the face the fourth that it was done by sticking and stabbing with a sword on the riirht side of the neck the fifth, that the prisoner fastened a.

handkerchief around- her mjcls, and thereby theamnj timt neuia her by discharging oj the left side of her face the seven th, that'he pushed ani thrust her into hole made in the floor of a barii, and by covering: her with large quantities of earth and gravel suf focated and choked her; the eighth was only technically, different, from the orecedimr orieii the. ninth laid thS offence 'to have' been committed byithe joint hleans of sticks ing the deceased with a sword on the left and fasteiK ing a handkerchief round' her neck the tenth. describeoyfi as being done-by the joint force of all the -felonious acts laid in the whole of the preceding counts recapitulating; the; wotindi, stabbing, shooting, strangulation, and smo' therme, as the cause of the'death of the deceased. The Clerk of the Arraigns then asked "Hqw say William isomer, iq me onence imu iu mio luuiwucm are you guilty or not guilty?" Tiie prisoner-ill afirm manner, and with a distinct voice, said I am Not The prisoner challenged two of the persons who were called upon the Jury, and they were set aside. An accurate and closely-finished model of the elevation ofthe Red Bam, the scene of the' tragedy, and the place where the bodyof the unfortunate MariaMarten was found, was brouffht into Court and laid upon the table, to assist the Court and Jury in understanding the evidence of the.

witnesses for the prosecution as to tne localities ot tne scene. Mr. Andrews then rose and addressed the Jury to the following effect It was his duty, he said, as Counsel for, tne urown, to lay Detore tnem all tne iacis ana circumstances which hereafter would be detailed in evidence.re-specting the guilt or innocence of the prisoner at the bar. It had alwavs appeared judicious and just not to enlarge. on any case that may be brought against a prisoner; and from that principle he should not depart, but would merely lay before, them a distinct statement of the facts, and prove them by witnesses, so that they might be able to judge of the importance, weight, and bearing attached to the charge.

The prisoner was son of respectable parents at Polstead nis tacner naa neen some time aeaa.i mre uviug, uc followed the occupation of a farmer, and held a farm of considerable extent in the parish of Polstead. After the decease of the father, the.mother, assisted by the prisoner's brother, and afterwards by the prisoner, continued to manage the farm up to the dark transaction which they were called upon to MariaMarten, the young-woman whose death was charged to the prisoner at the bar, was the daughter of parents of an humbler rank in life than those of the prisoner, and whoresided in the same parish they vtere of course acquainted, but the acquaint-; ance was not intimate till about a year previous to the 18th of May, 1837; during which time the young woman; was delivered of an'illegitimate child at some distance from Polstead Between six' and seven weeks previous to the 18th of May, she returned with an infant, which Corder acknowledged to be his. It roignt pe proper to stare, tnat a few wests after her return to her father's, Corder, on '6aidt- to take her up i)n aocount. of a bastard child-. cr alter this, he made similar remarns uieir -ueigu-hours, had heard of differences and quarrels between them abouij a 5 note, on one of whictt iwaria marten naa Deen heard to say, If 1 go to gaol, you shall go too." Also on more than one occasion Corder had said that he would' make her-his wife.

On Sunday previous to the 18th of May, whicli was on a Friday, he went to her mother's; house, and promised that she would, go with him to Ips-; wich. He returned on Monday, and a third time on the' Thursday following, and it was then arranged that they-should set off on the Friday. On that day, about noon, the prisoner came to her father's house. She was up stairs and Corder said, Will you go now-are you ready She replied, I am not ready. When ne saiu, urc ueen so often disappointed, let us go now.

Some further conver sation took place, and it was finally arranged that she should put her clothes into a bag, Corder carrying them to. a place called the Red Barn and that MariaMarten should: dress herself in male attire, then come to the Red Barn, and, after changing her dress, set out with him to Ipswich next day to be married. She put several articles of dress in a bag, in which were also a basket, and. a reticule of black velvet, lined with silki- Corner was absent from' the house about quarter of an hour; and when he came back she was dressed in a coat, waistcoat, and trowsers. This dress was above her' own uoukm, i or wnicn were a flannel petticoat, and stays with an ashen busk.

She had ear-rings; one large comb and two small ones in her hair. They left together, and went out at different dqorsi She had also a green handkerchief round heriieckp and, after leaving the they both, proceeded in the direction of the Red Barn From that period neither of her parents tod ever seen her or heard er ner, except ty ac-countsih letters from the prisoner, which would be laid-before the Jury Before they went away he said to her that ineconBtame had a letter against tier, ana would take her up for bastardv. Th will state that bo npver had SHCh a letter, nor hnrt that he had anv orders to up. On the day she left the cottage, and some hours after, a little brother of her's, who was getting grass for bis donkey near the barn, saw the prisoner passing in the direction from the barn to his mother's with pickaxe on his shoulder. The next Saturday evening returned tb Maria Marten's' mother's house, and also on the Sunday, when Jie'said that they' were riot yet but-he had got a license, and it wasvueoossary to sand iV.
