The annexed account of the conviction and execution of a man on the basis of cir cumstantial evidence. is copied from, a late volume of Chambers' Edinburg Journal.--, 'the tragedy ttansi•ired more than a -hun dred years ago; at,d is now cited to. warn courts and juries against retying too implic itly on circumstantial evidence. "In the year 1742, a case of a very re markable nature occured near Hull, Eng land. A gentleman traveling to that place was stopped, late in the evening, about sev enteen miles from the town by a single high wayman, and robbed of a purse containing twenty guineas. The highwayman rode off by a different path at full speed, and the gentleman frightened but not injured, ex cept in purse, pursued his journey. It was growing late ; however and being naturally much agitated by what had passed, he rode only two miles further, and stopped at the Bell Inn, kept by Mr. James Brunel!. He went to the kitchen to give directions about his supper, where he related to several per sons presentt he fact of his having been rob bed ; to which he added this peculiar cir cumstance that when he traveled he always ,gave his gold a peculiar mark, and that ev ery guinea taken from his purse was thus marked. Hence he hoped that the robber I would be detected. Supper being ready, I he retired. "The gentleman had not long finished his supper, when Mr. Brunel' came into the parlor where he %vas, and after the usual in quiry of landlord as to guest's satisfaction , with the meal, odserved, .1 understand that you have been robbed not far from here this evening ?' -'I have sir,' was the reply.— 'And you ninny was marked?' continued the landlord. 'lt was,' said the traveller. A 'circumstance has arisen,' resumed Mr. Bru nel! 'which leads me to think that 1 can point out the robber. Pray, at what time in the evening were you stopped ?' 'lt was just setting into be dark,' replied the travel ler. 'The time confirms my suspicions,' said the landlord ; and then he informed the traveller that he had a waiter, one John Jen nings, who had of late been so very full of money and so very extravagant, that he, (the landlord) had been surprised at it, and had determined to part with, his conduct being every nay suspicious ; that long be fore dark that night he had sent Jennings out to get h guinea changed for him ; that the man had only come back since the ar rival of the traveller, saying that he could not get a guinea changed and that seeing Jennings to be in liquor, he had sent him off to bed, determining to discharge him in the morning. Mr. Brunel' continued to say, that when the guinea teas, brought back to' him, it struck him it was not the same one he had sent out for change, there being on the returned one a mark, which he was very sun' was not upon the other; hut that he should probably have thought no more of the . waiter, Jennings having frequently had gold in his pocket of late, had not the 1 people in the kitchen told him what the I traveller lied related respecting the robbery ' and the circumstance of the guinea being math( d. (Mr: Brunch) not being prey ' cut i% ben this relation waslnade and lucki ly before he heard of it from the people in ', the kitchen, he had paid away the guinea to a man , who lived at a distance and now had gone home. 'The circumstance, how ever,' said the landlord, in conclusion, 'struck me so very strongly, that ['could not refrain as an honest man, from coming and-giving information of it. "Mr. Brunel' was duly thankethfor his candid disclosure: There uppers from it the , strongest reasons for suspecting Jennings; and if, on searching him, any other of the Marked pines should be found and gentle , NUMBER 34. man could identify them, there would theti remain no doubt in the matter. It wet 1 . now agreed to go up to his room. Jennings was fast asleep ; his pockets *ere searched • and from one of them- was-drawn-forth purse, containing exactly nineteen guineas. Suspicion now becamecertainty ; for the gen.; tleman declared the purse and guineas to be identically those of which he had been rob., bed. Assistance was called, Jennings was; awakened, dragged out of bed, and charged with the robbery. He denied it firmly f but circumstances were too strong to gala him belief.—He was secured that night, and next day taken before a justice of the peace. The gentleman and Mr. Brunell deposed the fact upon oath, and Jennings having no. proof, nothing but the mere assertions of- innocence, which could not be credited, was committed to take his trial at the next as.' OEM "So strong seemed the case against him; that most of the man's friends ad tised him to plead guilty, and throw himself on the' mercy of - the . court. This advise he rejec ted, and when arraingcd, plead not gully.— The prosecutor swore to the fact of the rob bery ; thought him of the same stature near: ly, as the man who robbed him. To the purse and guineas, when they were produ ced in court, he swore —as to the purse, positively and as to the marked guineas,. titi their having been taken from the pocket of the prisoner. The Prisoner's master, Mr. Brunell, de; posed as to the sending of Jennings for the change of the guinea, and to the waiter's ha ving brought back to him a marked one in the room of one he had given him un marked. Ile also gave evidence as to the discovery of the purse and guineas on the prisoner. To consummate the proof, the man, to whom Mr. Brunell had paid the" guinea as mentioned, came forward and pro; ' duced the coin. testifyiiie to the same time that he had received it on the very evening of the robbery, fr en the prisoners's master in payment of it debt, and the traveller, or prosecutor. on comparing it with the other nineteen swore to its.being to the best of his belief, one of the twenty marked guineas taken from him by the highwayman, and of tvhich the other nineteen were found on Jennings. The judge summoned up the concurring circumstances against the prisoner and the jury convinced by the strong accumulation of . circumstantial evidence, without going out of court, brought in a virdict of guilty: Jennings was executed sometime afterwards . at Hull, repeatedly declaring his innocence up to the very moment of his execution.-:-- - Within a twelve-months afterwards, Brunel( the master of Jennings was himself taken' up for a robbery committed on a guest in his house, and the fact being proved on trial he was convicted and ordered for execution. The approach of death brought on repen-. tance and repentance confession. Bruneir . not only acicnoWleged that lie had been guilty of many highway robberies, but own; ed himself to have committed the very one for which poor Jennings suffered. The account which Brunell gave, was; that after having robbed the traveller he had got home before him by swifter riding and a nearer way. That he found a man wait ing for him, and to whom, not having enough of other money in his pocket, he gave away one of the twenty guineas which he had just obtained by the robbery. Presently came in the robbed gentleman, who while Brunell, not knowing of his arrival; was in' the stable, told his tale as before related in the kitchen. The gentleman had scarcely left the kitchen before Brunell entered it, and there to his consternation, heard of thei . facts, of the guineas being marked. He became dreadfully alarmed. This guinea" which he had paid away, he dared net ask back retrain, and as the affair of the robbery; as well as the circumstance of the marked guinea, would soon become publicly known he saw nothing but detection, disgrace and death. In this di lema the thought of accus: ing and sacrificing poor Jennings occurred to him. The state of intoxication ir. which. Jennings was, gave him an opportunity of . concealing the money in the waiter's poc ket. The rest of the story the reader knows: Setting Fence Posts • There have been many suggeitiOas in our Agricultural papers in regard to beat manner of setting fence posts, among them i s on e we wish some of our farmers would' try. The plan is, to set the top end of the Oat: in the earth, instead of. the•butt end. The' reason is obvious. If you set green paste, ; the water in the earth will continue to be; taken up by the sap vessels, it the post* stand in their natural position, and if the ; soil is very wet and the posts are set. in the, spring many will put forth leaves. Reverse, the post arid sap vessels cannot take up the . water. The same is true of dry posts in some degree.. •• . • Soft maple and black cherry are the . 'ninit t durable for posts, when. white,oak or techi cannot be obtained: . - • tar The pupils of the Public Schooli cif BaltiMore have presented a`bloOlc of bitable ) to the National Washington Monument..
