PALMER IN PRISON.

The following particulars of the prison habits of
Palmer may De relied upon :—Palmer is watched night and
day, one turnkey being always with him. Thin is to pre-
vent any attempt on his life. The room be is confined in is
matted, sad there la a fireplug therein. At first he was
very stubborn and refused tattiest anything bat soda weer;
bet in oossequene• of threats held out that an instrument
would be applied to convey food tato his stomach, he now
takes hie meals regularly, and seems to enjoy them. All that
he has is made upon the pr‘misse, so as to prevent
any foul play. He is not now reserved, but con-
versed freely, and is jocular with the turnkeys.
He wog his brother (who is a soli, itor residing
at Hogeley) mad days, in the pretence of the deputy-
governor, but at present nothing has transpired between
them relative to Cook. The conversations related to their
family affairs, which aro in WWI contusion. No other per-
son, have seen him, sacrist solicitors or their clerks, who
have called to serve him with writs, urinal of which he has
had sines his incarceration. He wants daily in the yard,
geoompaalid by one of the turnkey, and attend. chapel
every morning, and Vries on Sunday, accompanied by his
companion, and unless parties knew who he was, it would
be thought that he was a visitor, or connected with the
gaol. He converses freely going to and r, turning from
chapel, and has • smile upon his countenance ; he is dressed
in black, and always carries a Bible and Prey..r book in his
hand. At chapel, he and the turnkey use the pew appro-
priated for convicts, at the end of which there is s table
like a Commission table, whereat both sit.—But. Lilo.
