THE TRIAL OP CONSTANCE KENT.

SALISBURY, BATIIIIDAYNIGHT.

It is not likely that Constance rent will be put
upon her trial until the latter end of next week, though, of
course, the exact day cannot be fixed until after the com-
mission has been opened, which will take plus on Wednes-
day, Mr. Justice Willie presiding in the Crown Court.
There is not much doubt that • very large number of people
will came from the neighbourhood of Trowbridge
and Devizes, near which places the murder was per-
petrated, for the purpose of hearing the case, and
especially of trying to obtain a view of this extraordinary
criminal. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., will be leading counsel
for the defence. One of the most id iomatic% parts of the
trial, it is expected, will be his cross-examinatioe of the
Rev. Mr. Wagner. When this gentleman gave evidence
before the magistrates at Trowbridge, he resolutely
declined to glee any information respecting the meaner
in which Constance Kent was first induced to confess
her alleged guilt. Bar George Grey sebesqueutly
clued that the Rev. Mr. Wagner had not the slightest
' pretence for thus insisting upon what he was pleased
to tern, the "sacred seal of the contingent;' and
as Mr. Coleridge is admitted to be am of the
cleverest cromaxamMers on the Western Circuit,
Mr. Wagner will either have to divulge the whole
secret attending the unhappy stirs confession to
him, or suffer for minecience sake by going to prison,
The Rev. Mr. Wagner is, therefore, the prominent witness,
se he date can tell what premiere it was which induced
Mies Constance Rent to proclaim herself the perpetrator
of this foulest of murders. Miss Gramm, the lady superior
of the establishment at Brighton, where the prisoner wee
staying at the time she came forward and stated that she
was guilty, is not quite sy mysterious • witness ; because,
although at the magistrates examination at Trow.
bridge, she at first eolsmnly declared that the rela-
tionship existing between her and Miss Rent had been
as that of mother and daughter, yet upon • very little
pressing she readily told nearly all that she knew.
tf not all. There are many rumours as to the exact line
of defence which will be adopted, but nothing is defioitely
known. It is not probable that her plea of guilty will be
received by the learned judge who heal to maids, e
Melly considering the remarkable circumstances nude.
which it was forced from the primmer, bet that the cam
will be allowed to go to the jury upon its manta. Apart
from her confession, the evidence adduced before the
Trowbridge magistrates, though sufficient to warrant •
committal, is by no means conclusive of her guilt; but
it is possible some other evidence may be brought
against her at the triaL It is said that Dr. Buckuill,
who was formerly the chief medical adviser of the
County Asylum at gsminstar, Devonshire, now employed
by government, and who ranks high as an authority in his
profession, has advised the defence, to abandon the plea of
ismaity ; but it is not proper to state at present whether
I Dr. Buckoill has given any such opinion or whether
' the canoed for the defeat:is ever contemplated relying upon
such a plea. It is true that sines Miss Comdex* Kent has
bees in prison at Devizes she has net manifested any strong
symptoms of unsound intellect, but it is sot to be soder-
stood that her friends ever pretended she was subject to
, repeated attacks ot • homicidal teediregy. Mullah%
Q.C., conducts the pronecution.
