LANCASHIRE LENT ASSIZES- YESTERDAY. Crown Court.

THE MURDER AT HEYWOOD.

James Tetlow, a decent looking person, having the appearance of a farm labourer, and described in the calendar as being the age of 49 years, was placed on his trial, charged with the murder of Thomas Duckworth. Mr Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Monk, instructed by Mr. Thomas Grundy, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. James appeared for the prisoner. The case occupied a very considerable portion of the day, so that we are obliged to give in a contracted form the evidence which was adduced.

It would appear that the deceased, a person somewhat older than the prisoner, worked with him as a farm labourer and out-door servant in the employ of Richard Kay, Esq. of Harewood Hall, near Heywood, for some considerable time previous to the 28th of October last, on which day the prisoner had, as it would appear, been discharged, but only, as it was stated, in consequence of no work being required. About five o'clock in the evening of December 28th, which was a Saturday, Duckworth was in the Dog and Partridge publichouse. He was somewhat in liquor, and had some quarrel with a man named Wolstenholme. The quarrel was, however, over before the prisoner came in with a man named Garnet. Deceased paid for a quart of ale, of which he asked the prisoner and Garnet to partake. Duckworth went out, saying he would go home, and the prisoner also went out. The latter returned to the seat he had occupied before, and said, "I have given yon sommat, and he won't go whome tonight". In five minutes after this speech, the people who had been sitting in the house heard that Duckworth had been nearly killed, and, shortly after, the body of the deceased was brought to the house. He was attented by Mr. Leach, surgeon, at once, and he was found to have received several blows at the back of the head, one of which fractured the skull, and ultimately caused his death at about twenty minutes before eight o'clock the next morning, the unfortunate man having only survived the attack about twelve hours. The fatal blow was unseen. It had been struck in the dark and from behind. The surgeon described a longitudinal wound at the back of the head, and four lateral blows across that, any of which would have stunned him, and which were the cause of death. The body was found lying on its face, the hands being in the front pockets of the coat (a 'Cheadle swinger") which the deceased wore. A cart-prop, which had been taken from a cart standing in the front of the Dog and Partridge, was found broken a yard off the body. This appeared to have been the instrument of death. The evidence to connect the prisoner with the deed was principally composed of statements and conversations made by him at different times. The first of these was related by Mr. Lees, a surveyor of the highways, who deposed to a statement alleged by him to have been made some six or seven weeks before the death of deceased. The prisoner had come to the witness's house, and said that "he (meaning the deceased) has been taking very undue steps about my labour." Witness said, "You have to deal with him, and as a workman you do the best you can." On this the prisoner said, "I'll lay in wait for him some dark night, and I'll knock his brains out with a stake." On examination, Mr. Lees said that he told Mr. Kay at the time; but though he and his daughter were both at the inquest at Heywood day after day, he never tendered any evidence of this statement, though he knew Tetlow was then implicated. The first time he communicated it to the attorney for the prosecution was about a fortnight ago, but he never told him the last statement until about five minutes before he went into the grand jury room at the present assizes. The conversation occurred on, he believed, the first Thursday in September. John Stott was the person who spoke to the conversation about "giving yon summut." On examination, he admitted that the new landlord of the Dog and Partridge was giving a house-warming on taking the house, and that he himself was greatly in liquor at the time. He had not mentioned the conversation to the police, though he saw them take Wolstenholme into custody, and though he saw them examing next day that part of Mr. Kay's grounds where the body was found. It was not until the prisoner was taken into custody that he mentioned it at all. He could not tell any other conversation that had passed during the evening, and he could not speak distinctly to either the prisoner or deceased going out. He only missed them from their respective seats, and had not seen them either go out or return. The speech of the prisoner was addressed to no one in particular. The deceased had quarrelled with a blacksmith at the Dog and Partridge, and struck him before the quarrel with Wolstenholme. The blacksmith had gone out before either Duckworth or the prisoner. He was, however, corroborated to some extent by the subsequent witness, a person named Fenton, the son of the new landlord, who acted as waiter on the occasion. The latter saw the prisoner and the deceased go out, and the former return alone. This witness came into the kitchen where he and Stott and the rest of them were drinking, and told them about Duckworth being nearly killed, on hearing which the prisoner turned very red. He admitted he was very busy all the evening, and was in a hurry to get a candle to meet the wheelbarrow which was coming up to the door with the body at the moment. That he went only to the door of the kitchen, and did not observe how any body else looked, or how they sat in the kitchen, but the prisoner sat just opposite the kitchen door, so that the witness could see him at once. This witness's brother, who also assisted in waiting that night, deposed to seeing Duckworth depart from the house, followed by the prisoner, and that about twenty-five minutes after the body of deceased was brought to the house. A collier named Stanley, one of the persons in the kitchen, stated that when the body was brought to the house and taken up stairs, he heard Wolstenholme say to the prisoner, "Thee have not gev' him half enough." The prisoner replied, "Yes; they have gev' him quite enough." There was a tall man standing by them who then said, "Hush, hush, or you will tell," whereat the witness said they were telling them. Witness then went upstairs to look at Duckworth, and came down, saying that he thought he would not live. Tetlow appeared to be full of sorrow when he heard it. The most important, however, of these conversations was that of William Bury. He deposed that he came from Dublin. He was convicted at the last August sessions of the borough of Manchester, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment at the New Bailey. Witness was appointed a nurse at the Infirmary. Prisoner was brought in two days before Christmas Day. When he came in, he said to witness, "I suppose they will hang me?"' and afterwards said he had been taken, with two more, for committing murder at Heywood. Witness asked, "How was the man killed?" Prisoner replied, "By a cart leg." On Christmas morning , the rest of the prisoners were left alone. Prisoner said he felt uneasy in his mind. Witness asked why? He said, because he always used to have his children in his arms on that morning. "I hope this case," he continued, "may come to nothing, for there's no evidence against me, and they can't hang on circumstantial evidence. The man that was taken with me knows nothing about it, for if he had known, he would have told, for he kept constantly telling me to tell while we were in the lockups if I knew anything about it." He said, "What a damed fool I must be to tell, because there is an individual among the witnesses against me who has more than once given me five shillings to make the deceased drunk and then to kill him." He mentioned the name of the individual, and he said it was Stott. Witness said, "Did you ever make him drunk." Prisoner replied, "Yes, he said. Once deceased was in a field so drunk that he could not button his breeches." Witness asked him when he was drunk, why didn't he kill him? He replied, because he was afraid the old man (Stott) would tell of him, and it looked as if he would, for he was one of the witnesses against him. Witness had not heard anything about anybody called Stott before, and did not know where the place was or anything about it. Witness asked how far the public-house was from the place where the deed was done. He said it was about a hundred yards. Witness asked him where the cart leg was taken from? He said it was wrenched off. Witness said that was a hard job. He replied, "Not so hard." Witness asked him if he followed him. He said, yes. Witness asked him what excuse he could make when he was asked about going out after him. He said, he would say he had gone out to make water. He would say, he stopped about five or six minutes. Prisoner asked, what if he should have to tell his counsel if he had done the deed, when he came to be tried. Witness said, he supposed the counsel or attorney would take him into a private place, with nabody by. Prisoner then said, "I would not like to tell, there was no one know'd anything about it but one." Witness then said, "Well, Tetlow, now if they were to hang you, would they hang you innocently?" He said, "No, but I would not tell my wife, or the dearest relation ever I have." Witness then said, "You've all as ane told me." "Yes," he said, "But you are not a witness." Witness replied, "No, and I hope never shall be." The witness then said, "Before he told me this, he said something about his shoe corresponding with the marks in the soil, and he said if he had "held his whisht," he would have put it in the fire. Witness had never heard of this affair before. He had given the whole of his statement before he left gaol, and he served his full time. The chaplain was the first person he had told of the affair.

This witness was subjected to a very close and searching cross-examination by Mr. James, as to his previous habits and conduct. He came from Clonmel, and had been about two and a half years in England. He was sentenced to six months imprisonment for his first offence, it was snatching a purse from a lady's hand in Deansgate. He had a wife who was living in Manchester at the present time. He (witness) was nothing with his wife. He lived with his landlady in a house in Back Irwell street. He had never committed any offence previous to that of which he had been convicted. 

This was the case for the prosecution.

Mr. James then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. He made a very powerful and able appeal on his behalf, of which, however, we cannot at this late hour, give even an outline. The learned judge them summed up with very great care and caution, and the jury were locked up when our dispatch left.
