Some days since a person who gave a name and address
which have since proved to be fictitious, hired a mare at the livery
stables of Messrs. Croft and Lewis, in Whirechapetmed, for the
purpose, as he stated; of riding to Ware, in Hertfordshire, and pra
mising to return the animal the following day. He has not Inc
been heard of, however, by Messrs. Croft and Lewis, and they hoc
ha consequence offered a reward for his apprehension.

informed that he must proceed to undergo a final examination.
Previously to this he had appeared perfectly indifferent to the awful
situation in which he was placed. On the day when he was first
apprehended he laughed at accusation, snd set at defiance mg mi.

him with indifference and contempt. But row, when he had again
to meet the Jury, he betrayed strong symptoms of inward sm.
lion. His tongue faltered—his step was no longer firm •at lensth
he fainted *way, and fell apparently lifeless on the floor. The
constable, naturally considering this change as the result of feu
upon a relenting heart, or as the erect of an accusing conadence,
requested from him an explanation ; and, after some time, thee'
toner made a confession to the following purport :—That he (S 'il•
kinson) did not murder the deceased, but that the murderer was
an Irishman, whom he hod met with at It. bum market that the
said Irishman had given the notes which Wilkinson had been Po'
seised of, to him, but had kept the remainder of the property him.

hewer having seen him before, nor did heiknow in what part of the
country he might kte found. This *as sufficient.—The Jury re;
turned a verdict of" Wilful Murder against Leonard Wilkinson,'
and the man was Inunediaiely committed to York Castle, to take
