THE CONVICT MULLINS.

No answer had been received at Newgate last
night from the Home Secretary to the different memorials
and representations that have been transmitted to the go-
vernment by the prisoner, through his solicitor, Mr. Hubert
Wood, and it is expected that no reply will be made until
the Saturday before the day appointed for the execution,
when the usual formal notification will be sent to the
sheriffs, that all the facts of the case have been considered,
and that there do not appear to be any sufficient grounds for
recommending the prisoner to the clemency of the crown.
There is nu foundation for the rumour that the prisoner had
received a respite from the 12th to the 19th of November,
sad the rumour appeared to have arisen from the fact, that
according to the ortlinary practice the execution would have
Mken place on the second clear Monday after the trial,
and this would have been the 12th. As, however, the
prisonerwas only tried at the end of the week, and sea-
nce was not pared upon him until late on the Friday
evening, if the sheriffs had adopted the usual course the
execution would have followed upon the sentence in the
very shortest time allowed, by the law, and they therefore
deferred the execution for another week, the law giving the
sheriffs the power to fix any time not within the
period mentioned. The culprit still continues to smart his
entire innocence of the crime for which be is to suffer, and
upon every occasion when he has been visited by the &Mho-
rities of the prison he continues to declare that he did not
commit the murder. He is permitted the free nee of pen,
ink, and paper, and he occupies • good deal of his time in
writing, and has addressed several letters to his wife and
his children. It will be recollected that at the trial a person
named Barnes was called as a witness on his behalf,
and she stated that about half-past ten or eleven o'clock on
the Tuesday momieg, the murder beiog supposed to have been
committed on the previous evening, she saw one of the
windows of the house of the deceased opened by some one.
It appears that the relations of the prisoner have discovered
that a tradesman named Davidson, living in the neighbour-
hood. use with Mn. Barnes at the time she saw what she
represented took Once, and he confirms her statement, and
the prisoner relies upon this 's &confirmation of his assertion
that he did not commit the murder, and this is one of the
biota that he ham transmitted to the HOMO Secretary in
support of his application for a rernissioci of the sentence.
The prisoner is visited three times ,a week by his wife or
some members of his family. His wife and daughter
were with him on Monday, and they conversed for some
time upon family matters, and also in reference to the
murder, arid Mullins again smarted his innocence of
the crime, and in allusion to the ion of the
cheque for 101., which was the pried poiut of evidence
against him, said this could be accounted for without his
being in any way connected with the murder. He has
never attempted to give any reasonable explanation of the
circumstances under which the property belonging to the
deceased, and which undoubtedly must have been stolen at
the time the murder was committed, came into his posses-
s Mn. As the period approaches poorer for the carrying out
of the sentence, the culprit appears to become more restless
and excited, and within the last day or two he huexpreesed his
intention, if he should suffer, to address the crowd from the
scaffold, and he says he hopes that his strength will be suf-
ficient to enable him to do so. He is visited every day by
the Rev. Mr. O'CUllegban, • Boman catholic priest.
