THE CONVICT HORLER.—For a considerable time
after the wretched man Horler, who was convicted at the
Central Criminal Court on Thursday of the murder of his
wife, had been removed to his cell, he continued in a state
of the greatest excitement, similar to that he exhibited
when the sentence of death was passed upon him. He
states that, after his mother-in-law had left his apartment,
with the understanding that she was to come the next
morning, at ten o'clock, to fetch her daughter, and take
her into the country with her, he and the unfortunate de-
ceased talked together in a very friendly and affectionate
manner ; but, although he repeatedly urged her to forego
her determination to go with her mother, she would not
listen to him. He also states that he and his wife went to
bed about eleven o'clock, and that the unfortunate de-
ceased very soon fell asleep. Neither of them were un-
dressed ; and the prisoner states that during the night he
got up several times and paced about the room, considering
what he should do to prevent his wife from being taken
away, and suddenly the thought came into his head to
destroy her ; and he went to the place where he kept his
razor, and while his wretched wife was fast asleep he drew
the razor violently across her throat ; and he says that she
did not utter a sound, but appeared to be dead almost in-
stantaneously. The prisoner, who is only twenty-three
years old, appears still to entertain some hope that his life
will be spared. Should no reprieve be granted, the execu-
tion will take place on Monday, the 3d of January.
MILITARY GAMBLING AT PORTSMOUTH.—We regret to
learn that gambling in private to some extent has recently
taken place in a distinguished light infantry regiment
quartered at Portsmouth. The parties to whom the money
has been chiefly lost are Bavarian noblemen. Blind
Hookey is a game played very much among travellers, but
is not much in vogue among members of the Travellers'
Club.—United Service Gazette.
