>From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, March 8, 1800; Issue 2445. On Saturday Mr. Baron THOMSON and Mr. Justice LE BLANC opened their commission for holding the assizes for the county of Berks, at Reading, when John HUTT was tried for he wilful murder of Ann PEARMAN, and convicted, and executed on the Thursday following. In the evening of his trial, despairing of all hopes of mercy, the prisoner made a confession to the Chaplain of the perpetration of one of the most dreadful murders recorded in the annals of this country, and what added not a little to the horror of the crime was, that it was wholly unprovoked, and without any apparent object, and committed by a lad who had the appearance of not being above the age of 16.
