Mr. H. W. ' , instructed by Mews. Pritchard and
011ette, solicitors to the Society for the Suppreesion of
Vice, proescuted ; the prison* wee undefen&&
lir. IL Williams saki the charge against the prisoner
was that he had sold and published a number of indecent
priata, aides, and boob ; but in 0011110p10011 of the
powers of Lord Campbell's Act the trade in such things
was nearly broken up, and therefore those who dealt in
these contraband bealar had resorted to a new mode of
dispoaing of them. The mode adopted was to send
catalogues to officers in Wracks, doolgarde, ships, and
public schools throughout the kingdom, and he thought
when such offences were brought home to those who pub-
lished them that they should receive the highest amount
of punishment, for the influence of such things was most
terrible to the minds of young people. In this case it ap-
peared that at the earl pert of January circulars were
sent to the 'Cavalry bemdks at Canterbury, but one of theee
circulars happened to fall into the hands of one of the
officers who was a married man. He immediately com-
municated what be bad received to the chaplain of the
Woes. A communication was *ant in reply to this circu-
lar to a place set forth in it, and • book containing speci-
mens of photographic slides of • very indecent character
were sent to choose from. Some other letters paesei
between the prisoner and • supposed " Captain Brown,'
and an interview was arranged to take place between Cap-
tain Brown sad the prisoner at a house in King-street,
St. James's. There • young oflioor lying at Canter-
bury Barracks appeared and personated " Captain
Brown," and purchased two books, four slides,
and • pack of cards from the prisoner, for which he
paid him Si. The whole of these things were of an
atrocious character. Sergeant Thomas, of the detective
department, was in the house at the time, but as be was
not then in pesasssion of a warrant he could not take the
prisoner into custody. He received the articles purchased
b the gentleman, and put his initials upon them. The
oner when he went to the house in King:street had a
Urge bag with him full of arlielem al •dieguseing character.
The following. day Sergeant Thanes and the gentleman
'who had made the purchase went to Bew-street, and a
warrant was netted for the prisoner's apprehension, and be
was taken when on his way from his house at Homerton to
gb to a dinner party.
The prisoner behaved with a good deal of effrontery, and
said he considered it no crime to sell men such articles,
end the fault rather rested with those who held out the
temptation than with those who satathed their requests.
The articles having been handed to the jury for inspec-
tion, they immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. M. Williams maid the prisoner was tried for a
dmilar offence at the Central Criminal Court in 1862,
and sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve months.
He came out of prison in 1863, but had no sooner got out
than he again commenced the mine traffic. In oonsequence
of this becoming known, • warrant was issued for his
apprehension, but that warrant was not executed, through
an inability to meet with the peisoocc
The Assistant Judge ;laid he believed that the prisoner
was one of • gang brought before him some time ago, and
this was a case that was deserving of the severest
meat. The prisoner was one who was reduced ber:b
the
level of the brute, for what he retailed was calculated to
poison the morals of the youth of the country on their
very entrance upon life. The gentlemen who bad
come forward to aid this prosecution were entitled
to praise on the part of every well-regulated mind,
and for the object they had in view. The
prisoner had dared to say that he saw no crime
m sending this poison through the country, but be
was sure that there was no man in court but himself
who would concur in such an opinion. He would find that
the people of this country were not so debased, and he only
regretted that the lair did not empower him to peas a
heavier sentence than that he was about to pronounce,
which was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour
for two years, and at the expiration of that time that he
find two sureties, each in the rum of 501. (with forty-eight
hours' notice), and himself in 1001_, to bap the peace and
be-of good behaviour for six months, and, in conclusion,
he said the prisoner would leave the court with the execra-
tion of every right-minded man.
The close of these observations was received with ap-
plause by a very crowded court.

THE MYISTEILIOVEI MURDER NEAR PERTH.—Since
Saturday morning the authorities have bees busily engaged
in making investigation in the came of murder stad:gut
Stewart—the particulars of which we gave yesterday. Am
the inquiries proosed, &commune.s seem to point to the
Innocence of Henderson, the brother of the isismed, who
at fait was very genteelly supposed to have some connexion
with the murder. Henderson, it appears, was in Bridge
of Earn, on his homeward journey from Perth market,
a little before seven o'clock on Friday afternoon. Mount
Stewart is nearly two miles from Bridge of Earn, so that
it must have been fully half-pest seven ere that was
reached. Some time would be occupied in unyoking and
stabling the horse, and then the house, which was locked
up, required to be entered by means of a window. This
would take up the time till after eight o'clock, shortly
after which Henderson raised the alarm that his sister had
been murdered, and, accompanied by a neighbour, proceeded
to Bridge of Earn and apprised Dr. Limed the eirennuesnee;
and before leaving thaixillage despelelied a note to the
Procurator-Fiscal by the train which leaves Bridge of Earn
for Perth at 9.10 p.m. Taking all these circumstances
into account, it appears pretty dear that Henderson is not
the guilty person. A most important witness has turned
up in the person of Mrs. Riley, a travelling dealer in stone-
ware, residing in Meal Vennel, Perth. Wm Riley states
that early on Friday afternoon (it must have teenaneral
hones after Henderson left for Perth) she went to
Mount Stewart in the way of her calling, and on reach-
ing the door she found the murdered woman, Mrs.
Roger, engaged in conversation with a man having the
appseranse of a tramp. Mrs. Riley, slier encelsenrieg a few
wards with Mrs. Roger, left her and the man together. A
motive for the commission of the murder has also been
made apparent from the fact that all the lookfait places
in the house at all likely to have contained matey or
other valuable property were broken epee, and the im-
plement with waieh this hail evidently been anon-
gad' a pais el meow Names, has been feud.
eblsoiseors, whisk have now bees taken poeseekm
bamtehyearolioe, are covered with blood. It was generally
that Henderson kept a lEge sum of money in the
house, and was se doubt to poseseden al this tint
the illeß4lmet. vbeevor be may protested the wise.
The police are endeavo to get on the back al the man
seen Mount Stewart' Mrs. R , and it is earnestly
to be hoped that they onoooed. • Courest.
