THE amazing crime at Denham has not proved the mystery that might have been at first anticipated. The person who is at present charged with the mur ders has been so accommodating in providing the police with abundant clues, he has been so careful in filling up blank places in his history, that within a week the entire story is complete. That is to say, a man Ts now in custody, and a set of evidence of great force is stored up against him. It usually happens that these crimes of exceptional atrocity involve some difficulty in tracing the author. The Ratcliffe Highway murderer was enabled to perpetrate two wholesale massacres before he wascaptured. TRorr• MANN was taken under very peculir circumstances, and only after much search .11 the woman Wmrson, ha d been content with a moderate number of poisonings, she might have been enjoying the recollection of them now. The ability or recklessness required for a very great crime may also be employed to defeat the ends of justice; and, moreover, when the horrid work is so thoroughly done it is frequently very diffi cult to obtain a clue: But the Denham personage, after doing his work most thoroughly, carefully set himself to undo it. He took no greater precau tions to conceal his connection with the deed than a beast of the field would have done. • , He took less, for an animal might have scampered away, but this libel on humanity tendered every needful clue to his apprehension, and remained in the neighbourhood that it might be effected'with the least possible trouble. JONES, or JENKINS, arrived in Uxbridge (Ai the night of Saturday week, and took lodgings in Bell yard. He was then dressed in the poorest attire, and slept with a tramp bricklayer, named COOMBS. Early on Sunday morning COOMBS was astonished to find that his companion was no longer in his place, and still more surprised to find him return later on the same morning with a different suit of clothes on, and bearing a carpet bag well filled with good things. During the few intervening hours the massacre . had been perpe trated. The MARSHALL family had been seen on the Saturday evening as late as dusk, and they slept in their own cottage that night. About three on the Sunday morning a policeman met a tramp dressed in shabby clothing in the village of Denham, and directed him on the road to Oxford, which ran past the MAR SHALLS' cottage. At seven o'clock a woman saw a person whom she took Ibr MARSHALL, as he was wearing clothes which she knew belonged to the blacksmith; but it could not have been he, for MARSHALL vas then beyond doubt lying dead in his workshop. Between three and seven the murders must have been committed. The murderer whoever he was, took MARSHALL'S clothes with some property, and left his own behind—saturated with blood. The ragged dress left behind was proved to be that of JENKINS, and the respectable dress in which 0001IBS saw JENKINS return to the Bell-yard lodging house on Sunday morning was proved to belong to the dead blacksmith. After returning to Uxbridge, JENKINS remained there some time. He pawned various articles belonging to the murdered family. He indulged in some remarkable extrava gancies of conduct, more or less pointing to him as a man who had been guilty of some offence. In fact, though there is not the slightest reason for thinking him insane, he appeared so drunk with the intoxication of blood as to threaten the lives of several of the.miserable companions with whom he spent Monday night ; and when captured at Reading, he drew out a revolver, not, it has been very justly conjectured, to kill himself, but to commit more murders. He left Uxbridge on Tuesday morning, and was taken at Reading on the same evening, leaving a door-key in the lodging house where he was staying. This key belonged to the house inhabited by the MARSHALL family. Except for its extraordinary magnitude, this mas sacre is now reduced to one of the commonest char acter. It raises no question of interest whatever. That the pure love of bloodshed, regardless of advan tage or consequences, does occasionally enter the mind of man has been proved before ; and the exertions of this b ery, bungling scoundrel were not needed to enforce the truth. All the accessories which rumour added to the crime in order to bring it within the scope of some rational law,, have vanished. There is nothing to prove that the murders were committed for revenge : and it does not appear that JENKINS is, as was horribly sug gest xl, the brother of MARSHALL. His motives were of the meanest, as his after conduct was of the maddest kind. Petty plunder of a few clothes, and of such valuables as a village blacksmith's home was likely to contain, was the sole object for which he took the lives of seven persons. Compared with him TROPP➢SANN was au intelligent and rational being, for the Frenchman had a plan, and the Massacre of the whole KINCK family was indispensable to his success. The Denham mnrderer committed an almost unparalleled crime in order to carry out a petty burglary. THE Bristol election petitioners have justified the perseverance with which, in opposition to the advice of some of their local leaders, they pressed on their objections to the return of Mr. ELISHA ROBINSON. It has been clearly established that bribery was practised to a certain extent to ensure the success of Mr. ROBINSON at the- test ballot, when the respective claims of that gentleman, Mr. lIODGSON, and Mr. ODGER, were decided. There is no doubt as to the fact, but there is a question as to its bearing upon Mr. ROBINSON'S return. A test ballot is entirely a pri vate affair; the law does not recognise it; and therefore Mr.BaronßuAmwELL has resolved to seek the assistance of the Couit of Common Pleas in order to fully determine how far bribery at the preliminary trial of strength invalidates the result of the more serious contest. ye seems disposed to think that the one can have nothing to do with the other; but he takes counsel in order to get a final decision on the matter. Of course the judges at the Court of Common Pleas will endeavour to lay down the spirit of the law as it is, not as it ought to be. There can be no doubt, however, that if the existing Acts are not adverse to test-ballot bribery, the sooner the omission is remedied the better. Any bribery whatsoever, bearing, however indirectly, on the issue of the - election, must be forbidden. At Beverley it was laid down that corruption at a municipal elec- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EN ENING, 114 Y 31, 1870. tion, with a view to affecting the greater contest, invalidated the latter. It is true that a municipal election is recognised at law, whereas a test ballot is not; but on ;the other, hand the second has a far more more intimate connection • with a parlia mentary election than the first. It may often be . doubtful whether money spent by would-be , to\vn councillors is distributed for any other purpose than that of merely winning them th lacal honour : there can scarcely ever. be any doubt that money is spent at a test ballot with an ulterior object. If these pre liminary trials, which now promise to become fre quent, are disregarded, nothing will be more simple than for corrupt men to once more set at defiance the law and the public. It will be easy to set up a test ballot. It will be safe to distribute any sum of money at it. 'lt is true that the bribers will have to trust to the honesty of the bribed; but it would seem that at Bristol, as well as at Beverley, there is no objection to this. Indeed, it will often be found that a bribed voter will be true to his bargain. The fact that he takes a bribe skews that he cares nothing for his vote, except in respect of what it will fetch, and he might as. well, therefore, give it to the candidate who has bought it, as to anybody else. Surely the pure saction of the community are not to be laughed at in this fashion. The business transacted in the House of Lords last evening was not of a very interesting character, the principal discussion being on the High Court of Justice Bill. In the House of Commons the Irish Land Bill came on for the third reading, and after several members had protested against the principles it con tained, and others warmly expressed their acceptance of its provisions, the measure was read a third time. The bill was subsequently brought up in the Lords and read a first time. The Navy Estimates, in the House of Commons, gave rise to a long discussion, and several Conservative members—notably Sir Jas. Elphinstone and Sir J. Hay—vigorously attacked the naval administration. Several grants were made, and the remainder of the estimates will be consi dered to-day, when the House will meet at two o'clock. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in moving the second and third reading of the Gun Licences Bill, announced his intention to retain the game licenc , in deference to private and public represen tations which had been made as to the inexpedi ency of abolishing it. The bill was rea I a second time. PARLIAMENTARY. INCIDENTS. THIRD READING OF IRISH LAND BILL. Without a division, and amidst enthusiastic cheer ing from the Liberal side of the House of Com mons, the Irish Land Bill was last evening read a third tim-, after an earnest and animated speech from the Prime Minister. The Premier's quoted couplet from Dryden, anticipatory of the time when the beneficent influences of the measure would become apparent in the sister island— " A flood of mercy that o'erflows our isle, Calm in its rise, and fruitful as the Nile"-- told magnificently. CLEARING THE HOUSE. Without waiting for the promised motion of Mr. Gilpin, the Quaker member, in reference to th e absurd power still at the command of any one of the national representatives, to clear the Rouse of Com mons of strangers, and thereby to turn out among others the whole body of the Reporters. Mr. Henley, last night, brought this important matter again under the consideration of the popular branch of Parliament. If the power should still be retained in the hands of a single member, it ought to be a pri vilege exclusively accorded to the Leader of the [louse, and to him only. LITEE,ATUivE A BOOK FOR THE DERBY DAY ! Nicholas's Notes. By the late W. J. Browse. Edited by Tom Hood. Ono vol , pp. 152. George Boutledgo and Sons. Some twenty years ago, several of the contributors to Punch wrote and published "A shilling's north of Nonsense." Hero, on the contrary, in this attractive little volume —alas ! that we should have to say it posthumously— a single con tributor to Fun, has issued from the press a shilling's worth —a splendid shilling's worth—of the truest sense and of the richest, and with a double significance, it may be said, the raciest humour. Appended to Nicholas's Notes and Sporting Prophesies are several miscellaneous poems, seri ous and comical. Prefixed to the body of the work there is a brief biographical notice by the editor of Fun, and the per,onal friend of the creator of Nicholas. The title page of the volume has as a frontispiece to it a 3ife-size sketch, from a photograph of the author. Born at Torquay, on the 6th of May 1836, William Jeffrey Prowse—known among his intimates as Jeff Prows:., according to Mr. Hood— died at Nice, on the 17th April (being Easter Sunday) 1870— having run out his career in thirty four years, another vic tim of consumption, and (if we understand his biographer rightly) in some sort also of journalism. He was a leader writer in the Daily Telegraph, in which his first contribution was an ac ount of the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, in 1861 - his last article in that journal being a leader, written not long before his own death, on the death of Tom Lockyer, the Cricketer. The one " hit" of Mr. Prowse's life, however, was his creation in Pun a that genuine original, or character, the Old Man Nicholas. Mr: Hood in no way over-rates the achievement of his friend, in having called into existence this most humorous individuality, where he speaks of it as " surely a creation which might have been not unworthy of the pen which drew Captain Costigan." Throughout, from the first page to the last. Nicholas's notes are thoroughly and genuinely humorous. There is no straining after omicality in thorn. They are—in all their lingual muddle and confusion as to the personal pror,oun, in fact as to all the rudimentary laws of gram mar simply delightful in their droll extravagence. Wit and Wisdom, mother wit and worldly wisdom, 'run through the maundering monologue of the Old 4 'ard one can hardly say the Correct Card—giver of tips, lover of sherry wine, knower of horse-flesh, in one word—Nicholas ! H.M. SEVENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT. Already we have announced the return of this splendid regiment from India, and its disembarkation on Wednesday morning at Portsmouth. Having first of all proceeded (on leaving England shortly after its return home from the Crimea), across the ocean to Australia, and having thence crossed the ocean again to Hindostan on the breaking out of the Indian Mutiny, the Seventy-Seventh Regiment, upon now returning to England via the Suez Canal, have, in point of fact, become the Circumnavigators of Africa. Already this noble troop bears inscribed upon its colours these eight grand historical names— Seedasere - Seringapata m Ciudad Rodrigo —Elbodo --Badajoz Alma —lnkerman —Sebastopol. Seeing that the 77th is the very first regiment that has been conveyed bodily along the Suez Canal, one is almost tempted to suggest that the name of the "Suez Canal" should be emblazoned on its banners, side by ide with the vic tories in memory of that peaceful achievement. Now that the 77th have on reaching Portsmouth, passed from the floating palace of the Great Indian screw relief troop ship the Jumna, to its old location, twenty years ago, in the Clarence Barracks, it is intrlesting to read among the re collections in regard to it penned by a Correspondent of the Ilampshire Telegraph, tho subjoined list of the 77th, as it was, 21 years ago, that is in 1849, and as it is now in 1870— Officers of 77th in Ports mouth in March, 1849.

"Colonel Kent"—who served the Eastern campaign of 1854 and up to 26th March, 1855, with the 77th Regiment, in cluding the battles of Alma and Nkomo!), and siege of Sebastopol (Medal with three Clasps, sth Class of Med jidie, and Turkish Medal)—'• it will be ; erceived," says the correspondent of the Hampshire Telegraph, is the sole regi mental remnant of the commissioned officers of 77th— the ultimus herein virorein (almost) Roinanorein —that left this command in spring, 1849 ! How many, therefore, of the non-commissioned officers and men must since then have passed from its ranks by death and otherwise! In Captain Sayer's official volume the fatal pre-emi nence of the 77th in the Russian campaign is recorded on the beautiful monument in St. Paul's Cathedral, the most aesthetic within its sacred precincts, of the East Middlesex Regiment, from the studio of the gifted Noble, records its fearful total of losses in the expeditionary army of 1854-5-6. An engraving and detailed account may be found in the London Illustrated News of 6th July, 1864. On one scroll the marble bears the following inscrip tion : To commemorate the loss of 15 Officers and 542 N. C. Officers, Drummers, and Privates susLained by the 77th Regiment During the Crimean Campaign, 1854, 1855, 185 G. " Upon the basement portion the names of the fifteen officers, viz : Colonel T. G. Egerton. Captain E. H. L. Crofton. Captain W. W. G. Dilke. Captain W. H. C. G. B. Pechell, Captain J. Nicholson. Bt. Major B. D. Gilby. Cai tain W. B. C. Parker. Captain Audley Lempriere. Captain Knight. Lieut. Robert Walmesley. Lieut. Francis Alder. Lieut. Arthur F. Maine. Lieut. Basil H. Brown. Ensign Charles Henry Massey. Surgeon C. Macartney. " The present remarkably healthy condition of the men is surprising after their long Indian service, and the bronzed complexions, resulting from the persistent scorching sun of hot Hindostan, attests most palpably what tropical dangers must have been undergone, though by sound sanitation, skilful management., and moral discipline, sickness has been kept under. " Among the welcoming throng on the wharf at the dockyard lon Wednesday morning]" says the same corre-- . spondent, " were observable three former comrades, Major Forbes, Dr. Prendergast, Capt. Knowles, 67th Regiment. (Col. Willis was absent from Portsmouth on duty), who, with glistening eyes and extended right hands of fellow ship, fraternised once more with t - 010 el Kent, and sin cerely congratulated him upon his promising body of young officers, and the admirable state of his battalion. " I cannot conclude this communication," adds the writer, "without alluding to the respected chief's chestnut charger, the Arabian Ahdallah, which, having served con tinuously. in the 77th Regime- t for fifteen, years, in the Crimea, Great Britain, Australia, India, is now once more voyaging back in steamer from Alexandria, for England, Home, and Duty and yet remains, as Scott described Marmion's, A matchless horse, though somewhat old, Prompt to his paces, cool and bold." Altogether the ,77th i:egiment has returned home in the highest state of discipline, and with 'a splendid character for efficiency. EAST SUFFOLK ELECTION. Lord Mahon, it will be seen, has been returned by a clear majority of somewhere about two hun dred as member for East Suffolk.

Vivian and Waterford, said that he had reserved the question of costs under these circum stances. There had been an intervener (Col. Leslie), but. it appeared, aftpr time being given for investigation, that there was no ground for the intervention and the ques tion reserved was whether the court should condemn him (the intervener) in costs. He (Lord Penzance) had considered the matter, and referred to the case, which was i❑ point, of Lantour v. Lantour. In that case the House of Lords decided that the court had no power to condemn or intervene in costs unless i❑ a case where the Queen's Proctor intervened and proved collusion. He must, therefore, though reluc tantly, adopt that judgment; but, if it had been a matter of discretion, he (the Judge Ordinary) would have made the order asked for against the intervener. The rule for a dis solution of the marriage was then made absolute, and to date from the 17th inst. THE SUPPOSED MURDER IN HEREFORD- SHIRE An inquest was held yesterday before Mr Henry Wood, county coroner, upon the body of the unfortunate man, who pases by the name of " Wingey," in consequence of his hav ing lost one arm by accident,. After six hours' investigation the coroner's jury acquitted the prisoner, who remains in custody of the police for the magisterial investigation. The prisoner, it will be recollect e d, was f oun d with blood stains on his clothes and boots. On being asked how he accounted for t heir appearance, he admitted having been with the de d, who, ho said, fell down a tank and struck his head , g „i„ s t a stone, where he left him. But at a post morteot examination made by Dr Jones and Dr George, they came to the conclusion that the wounds in the head of deceased could n t have been produced by a fall, but were, iu all pro baldlity, inflicted by a heavy nailed boot or some instru ment. • TAE ANGLO-CANADIAN ROWING MATCH. --Th e articles sent out some time ago by James Renforth, stroke oar of the champion four-oared crew of England, have been • substantially accepted by the crew representing St. John's, New Brunswick.

" ttg EVENING EDITION LONDON, 'TUESDAY, 111AY 31. 1870. Again, the wonder is as to who may be the Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. People are once more asking themselves as to whether the Conservative party has any Leader at all. The Tory Chieftain confronting Earl GRANVILLE in the House of Lords was yesterday no doubt Lord CAIRNS, is to-day no doubt the Duke of RICHMOND. The Tory Chieftain confronting Mr. GLADSTONE in the Honse of COM MODE; is still, of course, the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire. But—the Leader of the Opposition, as a whole—who may he be ? " That is the question" over which all the more, inquiring spirits in Clubland are just now, with a renewed relish, marvelling to one another in be wildered amazement. Why—itinly be asked--these revivified doubts and uncertainties ? Well, the reason is obvious enough, to even the most careless observer, on glancing through the chief monthly organ of Conservatism in the United Kingdom —an organ hitherto most loyal in its allegiance to Mr. DISRAELI, but which has now thrown off, in his regard, the merest semblance of consideration—scattering the last rags of its hitherto merely affected respect for him, for his abi lities, or for his position, far and wide, north, south, east and west, to all the winds of heaven. The closing article in the current number of Blackwood recalls to one's mind inevitably the closing article a year or two since in the then current number of the Quarterly. The authorship of the latter, it may be remembered, was instantly recognised by poli tical experts—perhaps, because of its dis tinctive lack of " finish"—as another viru- lent emanation from the spleen of that right ,00d hater (of one man, at any rate) the Marquis of SALISBURY. As to the authorship of Maga's unmiti gated and most uncompromising diatribe on Lothciir —well, in regard to that, it may be said at once that the peculiarities of the style are not by any means so clearly marked or so readily traceable. One inciden- al touch there is by which the writer of the review n question might, perchance, be identified— if the clue thus afforded were but keenly and perseveringly followed up. It occurs where I;e is referring superciliously to the rivalry of the social parasites who are contending for the possession of supreme influence ov‘r the all but fabulous fortunes of LOTILAIR, as being, " though more decorous, hardly more respectable, and much ess amusing than that of a crowd of Moors whom we once saw in Tangiers, tearing each other's beards and Willing off each other's turbans, in a mad struggle or a fourpenny piece which an English btranger :the Ex-Premier's Reviewer in Blackwood ?] had dropped from a balcony." The import ance and significance of . the whole onslaught, however, must - defined as consisting in this, that one of the Conservative organs hitherto mist loyal in its support of Mr. DISRAELI, sudelenly, unhesitatingly, and absolutely, throws off its al lvgianee t.) him altogether. The Quarterly did some time ago. Blackwood has now followed suit. It only remains for the Standard to cover the Leader of Conservatism with ridicule as un compromising —to show that the Member• for Bucks is regarded by the principal organs of the party he has SO long led in the House of Commons, and thrice to power(thelasttitne under his ownPremiership)is hence forth under a political taboo, in the '' cold shade of the aristocracy." Realising that much, however, one asks, again, in the interrogative phrase familiarised to us by the title of Mr: COBDEN'S list Irrtichui e, " What Next, and Next ?" It seems—this last and not least THE MURDER AT STEPNEY• At the Thames Police Court, yesterday, William Red head, 18 years of age, was charged, on his ow►► confes sion, with the wilful murder of his stepmother, Sarah Redhead. Police-constable 356 K said he was on duty in Alfred- Aceet, Stepney, that afternoon, when the prisoner ran up to him with a rifle in his hand, and sail. "I have done it." Witness said, "Done what?" and the prisoner replied, " have shot my stepmother ;" and when asked where, ho said, "At 80, Sidney-street, Stepney; and after I did the murder I set fire to the house, and now I give myself up to justice." Poiice-sergeant 19 K said that a few minutes since, when the prisoner was brought into the station-house, thorn was an exploded cap on the nipple, and six other percussion caps in a box in the prisoner's pocket. He called the prisoner's attention to the rifle and caps, and he raid, " Yes, they are mine." Mr. Thomas Ashton, a tailor, who lives opposite the pri soner, deposed that ho heard the report of the rifle, and saw the prisoner running in the direction of Milo-end. Mr Robert Swyer, surgeon, said that shortly befor3 3 o'clock that atti•ruoon lie was calls i to the house of the deceased. She was quite dead. There was a w and and two fractured ribs on the left side. The ball had passed through the chest, and came out close to the nipple • f the left breast. The prisoner was asked if he had any questions to put to the witnesses. He replied, "None, sir." Ile was then asked if he had 'my observations to nvd,e or defence to offer. He answered, "Nothi gat all, sir." Mr Lushiugton remanded the prisoner for a week. The self-accused murderer is the son of a seaman, an officer on board a ship now on its way home horn China, whose marriage with the deceased occasioned great unhappi ness to his family by his first wife. The prisoner, on giving himself up, stated that he had committed the murder on ac count of his stepmother's cruelty to himself and his sister. The prisoner has been in the employment of a wine merchant in the City. LATEST PA RTI C ULA R S -(TH IS DAY. The unfortunate lad, William Redhead, who murdered his stepmother on Monday afternoon by shooting her with his rifle, had for some time led a very unhappy life, owing to the tyranny of the woman whose life ho has taken in the wild spirit of revenge. It appears that he deeply mourned the loss of a kind and affectionate mother, and that he and his sister were very comfortable and happy until his father introduced a new guardian for his children. All was then changed. The lad and his sister, who is four years his senior, were made the victims of an ungovernable temper, and the sister, to escape it, went to service. The prisoner often declared to his friends that his stepmother rendered him so miserable that he was afraid he should some day or other drown himself. His stepmother pawned all his clothes except those he was wearing at the time he shot her, and spent the money to satisfy her propensity for strong drinks. Once she raised money on his rifle unitortn, and put him to considerable irconvenience. On Saturday e was at drill with his rifle corps, and it was arranged tbzt his wages should be brought home by a boy. By some ac cident this arrangement was not carried out, and the de ceased woman bullied him and refused to supply him with any food on Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday morn ing. While smarting under a load of tyranny and vexation the wretched youth came to the rash and wicked resolution of taking away the life of his stepmother. His own rifle afforded him a too ready means of accomplishing his dread resolve, and he shot her as she was ascending the stairs of her dwelling. Per death was instantaneous The sister of the prisoner, William Redheail, who was in a situation with a respectable family in Piccadilly, was informed of the affair last night, and is in a state bordering on destruction. Her brother was a mild and inoffensive lad, and a great favourite with all the children in the neighbourhood for his kindness to then,. In addition to the evidence given yesterday, which leaves no legal or moral doubt, that the prisoner wAfully murdered his stepmother, Mr Worell, the superintendent of the K division, has, in order to complete the case against the prisoner, obtained other evidence against him, and it will be givenbefore the Coroner to morrow, and also before Mr. Lushington, the Magistt ate, at the Thames Police Court, at the next examination. The prisoner com pleted his 18th year on Sunday. It is to be regretted that he did not long since remove from the dwelling of his step mother, and avoid her cruelty and tyranny, and the position in which he is now placed. It is understood that it was only in obedience with the wish of his father that ho re mained in the same house. The father of the pri soner is the steward of a ship, and now on his way to London. It was reported this morning that he had arrived on Sunday night, but if this had been so he would have certainly repaired to his home immediately, and the awful tragedy would have been prevented. A great many persons applied this morning for permission to view the interior of the house in which the murder was com mitted, but Mr. Worels has very judiciously given direc tions to his men stationed there to prevent all strangers having access to the building. THE DENHAM TRAGEDY• AYLESBURY, TUESDAY. the adjourned magisterial inquiry, into the circum stances connected with the de.iths of Emmanuel Marshall, 35, Charlotte, his wife, aged 32, Mary Ann Marshall, his sister, 30, Mary Marshall, his mother, aged 77, and three children, Mary, Theresa, and Gertrude, aged respectively 8,6, and 4, was held this ruJrning, within the walls of the jail of the county town of Aylesbury. Up to Saturday it had been supposed that the prisoner would be brought from the jail to Slough. A report became current on Saturday that in consequence of the great preSsure upon the police on Wednesday last in the endeavour of the mob to get at and maltreat the accused, it would not be deemed prudent to give them an opportunity of taking summary vengeance upon him, but the owners of the brickfields, whose men had turned out on the last occasion, had tendered themselves to be sworn in as special constables at once, and Captain Drake, the chief constable, assisted by Superintendents Dunham, Jervis, and Denson, had made every arrangement to meet all contingencies. At the eleventh hour, however, a far greater difficulty arose, the governor of Reading gaol refusing to part with his prisoner. On Friday it would appear that the coroner sent his warrant down for the safe custody of Jenkins, and on Sunday the deputy constable reached Slough and informed the magistrate that the Clerk of the Peace for the county of Bucks had advised the governor of the gaol not to give up the prisoner, and that acting on that advice the Governor would not allow him to be brought to Slough, considering that if the prisoner were rescued or killed he would be held responsible. A council was immediately held, and we understand Mr. Coleman, one of the magistrates, went to London and consulted 11r. Bruce upon the matter, but that gentleman de clined to interfere. Arrangements were then promptly made for conveying the witnesses to Aylesbury, and at eleven o'clock this morning the accused was brought uP before the magistrates of that county. Matters had been fo quietly conducted that not a person in AylesburY seemed to know what was going on, and in perfect quietude the chain of evidence was drawn so ti g htly round the accused as to leave him, apparently, no chance of rebutting it. There were no less than sixteen witnesses to be called to-day, several of whom were new, and had most important evidence to offer. The first of them WO Henry Salter, a carman. who met ptisoner at Hanwell. This witness deposed as follows :—On Saturday, May 21 4 I was coming from Acton to Uxbridge along the turnpike road, when I saw the prisoner at Hanwell Asylum close to the gates. I was driving my cart and and he overtook me.. He asked me to give him a ride on to Uxbridge, and I did so. He sat on a bundle of sacks, and I put bin' down at the Green Mau at Uxbridge between five and six in the evening. He rod:: six miles. As we came along lie said he had got no money, but that he had a brother neat Uxbridge, who he knew had some, and that he should have some of it. I asked him his brother '0 name, and where he lived, and he said that was a question he could not answer . He told me at this without asking, and he further Poirl he ohould not 0° and see him till after dark, Ho did not say t o-waling more particular, but that he bad been moving about th° country, and spent a lot of money.io hie time. Ahothol man who got up after the prisoner bad ridden two PAO , and Jenkins spoke to him. Several other witnesses were examined, arid the inquiry is proceeding. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(THis DAT.) BURNING A WOMAN WITH A RED-HOT POKER._IICO nab Lamb, who exhibited in a quarrel all the fury of a tigreSSl was brought before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police office, charged with savagely assaulting Ellen Hurley. The parties live in an Irish colony, called Waterloo-plac e, Samuel-street, St. George-in-the-East, and last night the,' quarrelled. Mrs. Lamb brought out a red-hot poker, Wi th which she attacked her neighbour, and severely hurt her arms and neck. Mrs. Hurley seized hold of the poker, hu t she caught hold of the wrong end, an d b urn t h er boa . badly. A boy then kicked the poker out of Mrs. Lanlb b hand, and she was secured. Several witnesses deposed l° the violence of Mrs. Lamb, her coarse language, and brutal threats. She called out on emerging from the heg s `'' " Where is that cat ? I'll frizzle her with the poker." 311. " Lushington sentenced her to six mouths' imprisonment an d hard labour. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—Thos. George House, a rough" looking fellow, was brought before Mr Tyrwhitt at t . " Marlborough-street Police-court, on a warrant, charged wit h assaulting the police. On Sunday night Police-consta ble Cook, 133 C, was taking a man into custody, and while ho was stooping over the man the prisoner came up and kicke d him in the side. He told the prisoner to go away, and the prisoner then went and struck and kicked another constable (Foster, 98 0), and succeeded in getting away, but was taken into cu,Nto , ly !ast night. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the police stated that the prisoner was the ringleader of a gang of roughs residing in Peter-street, St. James's, and was the terror of the neighbourhood. He was sent to prison for five weeks for the two amanita. SP 1 - t) The S ifelock.
