IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MOIVDAY, JULY 22. IN the Hoene of LOillni yesterday, the Earl of DISHY moved the second reading of the Repre sentation of the People Bill. He said if he had been about to move a bill which was to cause so great a revolution as that which was caused by the great measure of 1832, he should indeed feel some trepidation. At that time large towns like Man- ' cheater and Birmingham were unrepresented, and the system of rotten boroughs was rife. It was true that at that time the government was supported by the tide of public feeling, which, assisted by the revolutionary feeling abroad, broke down all ob stacles. But though to a certain extent that popular • enthusiasm lent support to the government of the day, yet, on the other hand, it prevented that calm deliberation which ought to have been given to such a question. He did not think that under this bill they would have a House of Com mons which would more faithfully represent the people than that house had done since 1832. It might be asked, why, then, make a change 1 And to that he answered because it was desirable notonly that there should be a faith ful representation of the people, but that the classes represented should think so. The noble earl then reviewed the reform agitation of the last 15 years, and the several bills brought in during ' that period, and with reference to the bill of last year, said it was felt that the measure was brought forward prematurely in a new parliament and in a dictatorial manner, and that if the late Chancellor el the Exchequer had known how to consult the prejudices and the feelings of the House of Com mons he would have passed that measure. He had en two previous occasions endeavoured to carry on the government with a minority in the House of Commons, and had failed, and when under taking the office of first minister of the crown for the third time he determined that he would not again be a mere stopgap till it suited the convenience of the liberals to take office again, but that he would endeavour to settle this question which had agitated the public mind for so long a period. And in order to effect this object the government determined to take the House of Commons into their confidence. They first pro posed a series of resolutions; but the House of Commons would not accept them, and they then determined to bring in a bill, and, considering there was no other stand-point below the 10/. line, they based the borough franchise on the occupation of a house, conditionally on the payment of rates. They were desirous of accompanying this with other qualifications, such as the payment of a certain amount of taxes, and the possession of a certain amount in the savings banks, but of these the House of Commons disapproved. They also proposed certain restrictions, but these were also disapproved of. The fran chise, however, was limited to the occupiers of dwellings, and did not, as did the Reform Act of 1832, include the occupants of warehouses, shops, or buildings. The present borough constituency comprised 452,000 persons ; by the bill it was esti mated that 387,000 occupiers of houses below 101. in value would be added to the constituencies ; but of these three-fifths resided in 37 large boroughs. He then referred to the lodger fran chise, and said be did not for a moment question that many lodgers were of high social position, and he approved of the franchise under the re strictions unposed by the bill. He then passed to the county franchise, and stated that the 12/. occu pation franchise would add 171,000 to the consti tuency. Then, passing on to the question of re distribution of seats, he said the principle they went upon was not wholly to disfranchise any borough, but to take the second member from boroughs with a population under 7,000. The House of Commons went further. It took the second member from boroughs with a population under 10,000, and these with seven seats taken from four boroughs where bribery had prevailed, gave them 45 seats for disposal. Of these 25 were given to counties, 15 to new boroughs, four to four Lrge boroughs, which will in future each return three members, and the remaining member to the London University. The noble earl then adverted to the amendment of Earl Grey, which he said ap peared to him to be quite incomprehensible and utterly useless for any practical purpose, and he appealed to the noble earl whether it was consistent with the respect he and this house owed to the House of Commons to stigmatise the measure as not calculated to promote the object in view, and then to alter it in committee and send it dcwn again to that house. In conclusion, the noble earl said he believed the bill was at once large, extensive, and conservative, and would for a long time settle the question of reform and prevent agitation. Earl GRIT said it was necessary, before they went into committee, that they should fully un derstand the character of the measure. The bill, he considered, was in no way calculated to settle the reform question. Hie object was not to defeat the bill, dangerous as he considered it, but to amend it in committee ; and so far from this course being an insult to the House of Commons, he believed that three-fourths of that assembly would agree with him. The noble earl then proceeded to minute adverse criticisms of the provisions of the bill, which he contended were of a most democratic character, but his voice could scarcely be heard, and towards the close he exhibited signs of great physical weakness. He concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that the bill would not effect a permanent settlement of the question, but that the house, recognising the urgent necessity for the passing of a bill to amend the representation, would not refuse a second reading of the bill, in the hope that it might be amended in its future stages. . . . Lord RAVEN:MO/MI thought the noble earl might well have taken the opinion of their lord ships on the first or on the second part of his amendment, but not on both together, for they were inconsistent. He supported the bill thinking that it would settle the question for a long time, but he must say that he feared it would increase the expense of elections and increase bribery. The Earl of MORLEY expressed his surprise at this being called a conservative measure, and said he saw nothing conservative in it, except that the lower class of voters being the least intelligent would probably be the most conservative. He regretted that the moderate bill of last year was rejected. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCL/FIE considered the amendment inappropriate to the occasion, and that it cast a censure on the other branch of the legis lature. There was a necessity for passing the bill which no statesman could overlook. The Duke of RUTLAND could not give a cordial support to this measure. He thought they should have waited till the commission on trades unions had concluded their labours, and that education was not sufficiently extended for such a measure. He thought, however, that if they gave up the DK franchise there was no safe resting place till they got to household suffrage. But this bill was a totally distinct bill from the one that was proposed. One by one all the safeguards had been abandoned. He hoped their lordships would send the bill back to the House of Commons decently clothed, with the securities that formerly guarded it. Lord CAMPERDOWN supported the bill, but predicted that the compounder would rise like a phrenix from his ashes. The Earl of CAKNARVON complained that they were called upon to legislate without any informa tion whatever as to the effects of the measure. A wholesale transfer of power from one class to another was a revolution, and that he considered would be the effect of this bill. And it was a re volution that was brought about without enthu siasm, and at the desire of nobody butithe occu piers of the Treasury bench. Ho refused to stul tify himself, and say that such a measure as this was a conservative measure. If, after opposing such a bill as that of last year, the conservative party were to support such a measure as this, he was ready to put ashes on his head and acknow ledge that the whole action of the party to which be had thought it a honour to belong was nothing but a mere organised hypocrisy. Lord Baavetrastr thanked the government for dealing with the question as they had done. He defended the measure as one which was likely to settle the question. Earl thr.atrvitta thought the government had been actuated in this measure by a desire to do harm to their political adversaries. He was not alarmed at the reduction of the franchise which was proposed. He should have been glad if what had been called the residuum had been ex cluded ; but he did not participate in the fears which had been expressed, and so far as regarded the franchise lie gave the bill his support. But with regard to the redistribution scheme, which was almost universally condemned, he asked government if they thought it would last three years ; and he put it to them whether it would not have been better to have offered a more ex tensive measure now. If they would agree to a redistribution scheme which would be calculated to meet the just demands of the country, the peers on the opposition side of the house would support them. The Duke of MARLROROCOH defended the measure, which he said had the unanimous support of all the members of the government. The times had been onerous, and the government had acted advisedly and conscientiously in introducing the bill. On the motion of the Earl of SHArrasseav the debate was then adjourned till this day, and one or two bills having been advanced a stage, the house adjourned at a quarter to 1 o'clock. HOME OF 0011:11ONS.—MONDAY, JULY 22. IN the HOUSE of COMMONS, the CHANCELLOR of the Bxensurza made &statement as to the course of business during the remainder of the session. There were, he said, 50 government orders on the paper, and of these the government proposed not to proceed with nine—namely, the Murder Law Amendment Bill, the Writs Registration (Scotland) Bill, the Tenants' Improvement (Ireland) Bill, the Land Improvement and Leasing (Ireland) Bill, the Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill, the Petit Juries (Ire land) Bill, the Intestates' Widows and Children Bill, the Sea Fisheries Bill, and the (Moe of Judge in the Court of Admiralty Bill. There would remain 41 measures, and of these 11 were from the Lords, which they should not press unduly. He added that this day he proposed to take a morning sitting, to give an opportunity for the discussion of the case of the Tornado. The Representation of the People (Scotland) Bill was read a second time on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer without any dis cussion, apparently to the great surprise of the house. Mr. G. HARDY moved the second reading of the Royal Parka Bill. The bill enacted that the same protection should be given to the royal parks in London that was now extended to similar places in the provinces, so that they should not be used for political or religious purposes, and that to hold any meeting in them without the permission of the crown should be puishable as a misdemeanour with fine or imprisonment, and that the Commissioner of Works should lay down by-laws, the breach of which would be visited by a small pecuniary fine. Mr. NEATZ considered the bill inadequate to its object, and held that it was not expedient to deal with the subject of public meetings in the metro polis with reference only to the royal parks. Mr. P. A. TAYLOR condemned the bill on the ground that it waa an attempt by a aide wind to create a)iewstatutable offencethat was not required by the necessities of thecase. He moved the re jection of the bill. Mr. NRWDECIATZ suggested that the better way would be to prohibit all public meetings within three miles of the houses of parliament. The bill was further opposed by Mr. MILL as an attempt by a aidewind to take away the right of public meeting, and by Mr. ()TWAY ; and supported by Mr. KKK and Mr. J. HARDY ' the latter of hadwhom was called to order, and to apologise for saying that Mr. Taylor was returned by the refuse of the constituency he represented. The second reading was carried by 181 to 84. The house then went in committee of, supply, and a number of votes in the civil service estimates were taken. Some other business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at five minutes to 2 o'clock. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1867. SHARE LISTS.-{THIS DAY.) 131 Eti 64C U 4 171 CRICINT. Scossx c, Stieligr,—The annual contest between these two southern elevens, which Invariably excites a large amount of interest in Sussex, commenced on the well-known arena at Hove, near Brighton, yesterday. The prospect In the early morning was very discouraging. so far ss the weather was concerned, as It blew nearly half a gale of wind from the south-west, and the rain fell in torrent, hut. as the day wore on matters improved so rapidly that shortly afar ball-past eleven the umpires proceeded to mark out the wickets, which, as usual on this ground, were smooth as a billiard table, though of necessity soft and dead to an extent seldom witnessed at Brighton. The Sussex list was the same as published, but Surrey substituted Street for the colt Wheeler. Poutherton was claimed by Sumer. The former county woo the toss, and without much hesitation wisely deter. mined that their adverearka should take the Initiative in the batting. This they proceeded toildo at half-past 12 o'clock by sending in their stereotyped pair, Humphrey and Jupp, opposed to the bowling of James till white , junior, and Southerton—the latter at rho marine end. The game was very slow for the first quarter of an hour, and eight overs were bowled for three runs Lillywhite four maidens in *occasion'. Sixteen nuts were recorded, ten by Humphrey and six by Jupp, whea a dissolution of partnership was brought about by Lillywate clean bowling Jupp 's off stump. Griffith sucaedeQ and Soutberton bowled to him from the other side of the wicket. He made a run per ball for the first five, and then caused the registration of the first four by driving Southerton to long off seven were then hit off an over of lAllywhite's. Griffith was Amply taken by lOUs off Southerton, for 17, Including one four, one three, and four twos—! for 37, When MorUock was In, Wells ggoot • well merited cheer for • smart bit of fielding, which Jeepardjsed Hum phrey's wirket. Mortlock after driving Sou therton to longon fort, was run out hyselever bltof fieldingon the parta E It, the wicket keeper-3 for 45. Next came Stephenson, and Just after Hum phrey, who had then made It, was missed by Payne on the on side. This lucky escape emboldened him, and he hit away with great freedom, driving Lilly white finely forward to the wall for 4. He now had an o ther let oil in the fickl, at the handeof Kit. lick very easy. St ,phenson cut Lillywhite over point's head for 3, and this was his last hit, as in Mouthertoo's next over he was caught by • substitute fielding for the Hon. Mr Pelham, who had missed the train in London-4 for 61. The Sarre,' wicket keeper followed, made a 2, and then was neatly caught by Wells at point-5 for en. When Mr. Collyer was in the bowling became very good (Lillyefithe trundled 5 maidens In suc cession, and took two wickets'. The sixth wicket ',Mr. Collyer's) went with the score at 72, and another Surrey gentleman 'Mr. Noble; immediately had Miler stump bowled down by southerton. 7 for 75. Humphrey's next macs was Sewell, who, like most of his predecessors, was net at home with Southerton ; after making • good 3 to l, 2usre leg off him, and cutting lallywhite for 3 Just in front of nt, Southetton bowled his leg stump - 8 for st. Howson fob owol, received only • few lolls, and then ran out 9 for 67. The dinner bell then rang, and at the end of an hour play was resumed, when Street was tempted off Maryland, and Ellis stumped him. =t it re . y, who went in first, played • lucky of 41 , coo th ree fours, one three, six twos, Ac., and s is arat a hhi side out, 1 innings closed at 3.35 for 95 runs. The Sussex bowling was as under :—Lnlywhite, 116 oven, 16 maids for 46 runs and 3 wickets ; Southerton, 35 ova& 10 maids fa 41 runs and 5 wickets. At 4 o'clock the Sussex Innings commenced, Mr. C. H. Smith and Payne commencing operations against Matlock 'flows) and Griffith. A series of disasters betel Sussex. Payne went In io drive Mortiock and, missing, was stumped. Griffith in his second over sent 'Mick, who followed, back to the dressing room. Next Mr. Smith was clean bowled bythiffith, letting in the Hou. Mr. Pelham, who immediately lost his partner, James Ullywhite, who was caught in the slip, and thatiwood was bowled by Griffith the very test ball, an that fire of the beat &wee wickets were down for ten runs in about as many minutes. Aud now it was that • most determined stand was made by Mr. Pelham and Tiny Wells, who pluckily "collared" the howling, and both hit away to • goof) purpose, elevating the 'wore rapidly, by hitting the ball to nil parts of the ground, amidst tassel cheers. At 34, blortlock gave way to Street ; Sewell went on vice Griffith at 46. Then Street bowled five madam la succession, and Sewell three. With the score at 69, Humphrey had • try, and in his second over got Welled wicket, who was esoily caught at cover point—he having made exactly • moiety of the runs by excellent play, including three fours, three threes, and throe twos, Ac. John lailywhite was In next, and the run -getting continued till Sewell put Mr. Pelham's wicket out of shape. He made 33. an Sulnilralile innings, by one four, three three, and three twos, and thelped to rase the score from 7to if!. Ellis was also In goo.) form, and :it 66 Griffith went on again. Sussex cheers were heard when the Surrey total was passed, and again when lOU were posted John Lthywhite was now caught at mid nn by Street. Southerton was also caught at the wicket sag the second ball he received, and Stulthentlekl got a 2 Then Mori ta* came on again, and Stubbenneld was caught at slip in hitting to leg. this carried oat his bat fur 21, and thus the Innings closed for 129 or 25 " " The Surrey bowling we as follows :—Mortlock, lo oven for 22 runs and 10 wicket; Grifillh, 13 ovens, 6 maidens, fr r 36 runs and n wicket.

This was an appeal by Richard Oakes, whose name was alleged to appear on the list of contributories in the com pany of Overend, Gurney, and Co, (Limited), for 2-i sharer; against two orders of Vice-Chancellor Melina, dated respectively the 9th February and the 7th March last, whereby the Vice-Chancellor refused the motion of Oakes to have his name removed from the register of members of the company ; to have his name excluded from the list of contributories, and to prevent a call of 10/. per share, and directed the appellant to pay the costs of the liquida tors. The respondents contended that the appellant's name was inserted in the list of shareholders with his own knowledge and consent; that he continued such regis tered shareholder until the date of the winding-up order; and that, therefore, the orders of the Vice-Chancellor ought to be affirmed. The arguments were not concluded when their lordships rose. Mr. Gifford and Mr. Swanton for the appellant; Sir R. Palmer, Mr. Mellish, and Mr. Roxburgh for the respondents. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant Judge.) Grorpe Parker, calling himself a refiner, of No. 19, Long acre, surrendered in discharge of his bail, to answer an indictment charging him with receiving a gold watch the property of George Bell Galloway, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Poland prosecuted . • Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoner. Mr. Poland opened the case, and briefly detailed the facts, which have already been given in our police reports, and said that the prosecutor had been under the impres sion that he had recovered his stolen watch through spiri tual agency. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, to prosecutor—l am in the flesh, and not in the spirit, and I want to Imow is it true that the reason you went to the shop of the prisoner was in consequence of some information you received from the spirit the night before. Witness—l have spoken precisely the truth. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—Did any spirit speak to you' Witness—No. I saw no spirit. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—Then you had no conversation -with the spirit? Witness—No. Mr. Serjeent Ballantine—l find you said, " I had slept very little during the night, and the spirit told me that John Roberts had the watch." I want to know if that is true. Witness.—l had no conversation with the spirit. Mr. Serjesnt Ballantine—Then I should like to know how you et the name of John Roberts, without having a couversatton. itness.—lt flashed across my brain whilst I was in bed, between sleeping and waking, wondering whether the spirit would assist me or not, and dating that time the name of John Roberta became forcibly impressed upon my mind. I did not much believe in 'pints, but in my waking moments I said to myself, " I wonder whether the spirits can assist me as to the person who stole my watch." I was assisted, and I said, " What's the name!" and the answer was "John Roberts." I then said mentally, "Come, now, can you tell me where the watch is?" and was answered by impression Long-acre, and the shop was mentally visible to me." These words were put into my mouth by the counsel for the pri soner, Mr. Montagu Williams. and after a long cross-ex amination, in which I was exhausted, I consented to them. My impression was strengthened from the information and advice I received from George-street, and I went to the prisoner's shop. I did not brandish the Spiritual Maga zine, and say there was a similar case in it of a watch being discovered by the aid of spirits. I bought the watch about twelve months ago of Mr. Grant, a pawnbroker, in London-wall, and I made a mistake when I said I pur chased it in July, 1866, as it was in January of that year. Several other witnesses having been examined, Mr. Serjeant Ballantine made an able speech on the part of the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE POLICE COURT& GREENWICH. Inspector Reece, of the Berke county constabulary, stationed at Windsor, attended the court to receive charge of a prisoner named Worm Baker, who has several aliases, on a warrant granted so far back as June, 1865, for a highway robbery with violence upon Captain M'Kay, nephew of Mr. G. H. Vanaittart, of Bisham-abbey, Berks. It appeared that the prisoner was given into custody a few days ago for robbin:ii f tan of two sovereigns and two half-sovereigns while ri ding together in • cab in the neigh bourhood of Greenwich. e was remanded to Maidstone Gaol, and there the prison authorities identified him as having been frequently in custody. In 1849, when about nine or ten years of age, he was convicted of stealing at Tunbridge Wells, and was sentenced to three weeks' im prisonment and to be whipped. In 1853 he was put upon his trial at Maidstone on • charge of burglary, and acquitted. In the following year he was indicted for manslaughter : and, being con victed, escaped with a month's imprisonment. He was subsequently tried at the Surrey Sessions, and, being found guilty, underwent twelve months' imprisonment. In 1561 he was again in custody for passing counterfeit coin at Seal, near Seveneaks, Kent, when, although hand cuffed by both wrists, be succeeded in making his escape from the police. He afterwards appeared to have followed the occupation of a cab-driver in the neighbourhood of Windsor, and at the races at Ascot, in June, 1865, he was engaged to cone C aptain M'Kay from the race-course to the residence of Mr. G. H. Vannttart, of Bisham - abbey, instead of doing which he and another man (since con victed) drove the cab into • lane, where Captain M'Kay was attacked and robbed. It was stated that the man robbed in the cab declined to prosecute, having been kept out of the way by the pri soner's companions, and Mr. Trail ordered the prisoner to be given up to the custody of Inspector Reece, by whom he was conveyed to Berkshire last evening. SHOCKING MURDER AT ST. HELEN'S.—Shortly after 12 o'clock on S •turday eight last a murder was com mitted near St. Helen's. The murdered man is Adam Mather, about 60 years of age, who lived in a detached house at Greenleach, about half a mile from Carr Mill, on the St. Helen's-road. He was a man in easy circumstances. possessing • good income from household property, but to fill up his time worked at the Garwood Colliery as fire man. It appears that the deceased and his wife, having been to St. Helen's on Saturday night, retired to bed shortly after 12 o'clock. They bad been in bed some four or five minutes when the attention of Mrs. Mather was aroused by hearing a drawer being opened in an ad joining room. She told her husband, and at the same time said it was not " Dan," referring to their son, who bad not then got home. Mather, having got out of bed, went to see who the in truder was, and seeing a man whom be did not know said, " What are thou doing here? thou had better be going." The man then made a rush at Mather, and with a razor which he had taken from a drawer cut a severe gash across the deceased's throat and chin. The wife hearing a scuffle went to see what it was, and seeing her husband on the Boor covered with bloo d, she rushed out of the house screaming " Murder," and went towards • neighbour's named Mort. Before she got many yards the murderer came upwith her and stabbed her in two places, and struck her in the face, which caused her to fall to the ground. He then made off. The man Mort, having been aroused, came out of his house, and Mrs. Mather told him the direction the murderer had taken. Mort followed, but was not able to come up with him. Ho immediately afterwards pro ceeded to St. Helen's and informed Dr. Jamieson, who at once proceeded to the house of Mather, and in formation having been given to the police, Superintendent Ludlam mustered his force and sent scouts through the county. The murderer was traced across several fields, but upon approaching the railway all clue was lost. He left his clogs at Mather's door, and his cap was found near to the deceased. He is said by Mrs. Mather to be about 40 years of age, light hair, under middle height, and had the appearance of a tramping collier. The clogs have duck-bill irons. two brass eyelet boles on each side, and two on each tongue, with brass tae-tips. Apiece is cut out of each hind quarter to give room for the ancle bone. His cap is of brown cloth, ribbed in three-inch squares, old and greasy. He was dressed in cord trousers, and had on • light coat, and speaks with a Lancashire dialect. The un fortunate deceased lived about belt an boor. Our Liver pool correspondent, writing last evening, says : A man named John Smith, a tramp, bag been arrested on the charge. When taken into custody he was without cap and shoes, and the right arm of his shirt was wet as though recently washed. There was blood upon the sleeves and other parts. Smith accounted for this by saying that he bad been in a " row" at St. Helen's on the previous night. The only money found upon him was some rippers. This evidence having been taken before the magistrates, yester day, the case was remanded. The cap and clogs found in Mather'. house bare been identified as belonging to Smith. One man who has come forward states that the clogs were offered to him by Smith for Bile recently, but be refused them because they were cut in the sides.

The inquest on the body of Martha Britte n, who was killed and then burnt, was hell yesterday by D T. Wybranta, coroner for East Somerset, at the Red U Inn, Woolverton, before a jury, of which the Rev. C. P. Baker VAS foreman. The room was crowded. Mr. 14, miter, solicitor, of Frome, watched the proceedings sa half of the family of the prisoner, who war present. prisoner is a somewhat aged man, gray-haired, and dress e d in a suit of black, and appeared to feel his position. 14 Valentine Gould, chief countable of Somerset, was present . and Mr. Superintendent Duggan, of Frome, in whore cm. tody the prisoner wax. As the prisoner has confessed the crime, it is imam,. nary to do more than give his own statement. Superintendent Duggan said the prisoner, when tak en into custody, said " It's a bad job." He roduced the statement written by the prisoner on Sunday morning, I t was directed to Mr. Woolly, his brother-in-law, and w., e ea follows :—" Mr. Woolly,—l do to you what I could not do to any one else. With shame and true abhorrence m i d repentance of the deed I have done, I confer it was that foully murdered my poor wife. It wan done in th e heat of pinion and in • fit of jealousy, and arose thus. I sew what I shall keep to myself —told her of it—she treated it lightly, which enraged me. I caught hold of th e first thing that came to hand, struck her with it three s e four times. Oh, how I wish I had been blind or God had struck me dead before I did so. ob . what power the devil must have over me. I t seemed as though I had almost a hundred devils ie me, and, I believe, had twenty people been there, I sho u ld , had they interfered, served them in • similar ; but after it was done, and I reflected a little time, oh, how I detestedand deplored the act—viewed it with abhorreike, and oh, what I would have gave to bring her to life I fully intended then to have destroyed myself, but was prevented by two thoughts—first, that, alone in the boort, the child would come down and first find us, and n o d ou b t would lose his reason, or something as bad. Second, th a t probably God may forgive murder even, but not sell. murder. Then I thought of at once giving myself up, but then the devil or my awn evil heart tempted and induced me to try and hide my act from the world, which 1 d i d immediately by carrying her poor body over the wall by the pear tree into the maltAouse, and finished the next night. I chose that place for reasons Roger and her friends will understand. The reason I would not take your hand was, I could not put the hand of a ma. derer into that of my sister's hus ba nd. Once you rid, if anything happened to me, you would take care of the boy. Will you do so now There is a draft on the o ld Bristol Bank for 350 f. in m trunk. Do so for not mine but his sake, and I hope, poor f e llow , be may reward you. 06, what I have brought on myself and friends, and first begun and ended by false friends, which has been my b aba through life. Oh, how I pity and feel for poor Elizabeth —you—your family—my boy—Charles and Joseph. A s for myself, now I feel my doom is fixed, and that since the last tragedy I deserve it, but not before. I have no wish to live. May God receive my wife's soul in his abode above, and may He forgive me and receive mine at last also. As for man, I do not ask, nor expect, to relines forgiveness. Do let me again beg you and poor Elizabeth to take the poor boy into your care, and may G o d bless you all and him. (Signed) Geo. Murree. Witnessed, Edward Duggan, Superintendent of Police, Thomas Westcombe, police-oonstable ' No. 194. Dated at Frome, this 21st day of July, 1867. Four o'clock, p.m." He shook very much and said, " I could write more, but I can't." He then voluntarily made this statement to me : " I killed her on Thursday night. I put her body in two sacks. I tied a rope round her neck. I dragged her body up the ladder by the pear tree, threw it over the tiles, dragged it over the plank which was over the cistern, and then set fire to the place. Oh, God forgive me, I loved her, I struck her with a piece of lead down stairs." That is the whole of the statement. He seemed to be in a low depressed state. He made no reference as to the time nor where the body remained from the Thursday till the Saturday. The coroner cautioned the prisoner in the usual manner, and he replied, " I don't wish to say anything." The coroner then summed up and the jur in a few minutes returned • verdict of " Wilful murder " against the prisoner George Britten, who was formally committed for trial at the next Somerset assizes.
