A SCOTCH VERSION OF THE ROAD MURDER.—
An Edinburgh paper writes :—The house at Road-
hall was too evidently entirely isolated from all around it.
It was not on visiting terms with its neighbours, or its 1
neighbours, we should say, with it. For a long time pre-
viola to the murder of Francis Saville Kent, the place, one
would say, was haunted. The story, we believe, was a
simple one. At a time when the late Mrs. Kent, the
mother of Constance, was a hopeless invalid, Mr. Kent, in
the course of his factory inspection, saw the present Mrs.
Kent and loved her. She was then a mill girl of extraor-
dinary personal attractions; and Mr. Kent placed her at a
boarding-school for a period which proved too brief, and
afterwards introduced her, while only half-educated her-
self, as governess in his own family. The girls Kent, we
need hardly say, despised her; but the two elder had the
good sense to conceal or control their contempt. Not so
this unhappy Constance. She herself was better informed
on most points than her so-called governess—whom im-
mediately on her mother's death, her father presented as
stepmother. Her elder sisters had the same feeling, but
they, unlike herself, had the prudence or piety to disguise
it. She came into the family a half-educated mill-girl ; the
mother was still lying sick ; by and by the mother died;
and now the mill-girl suddenly became the second Mrs.
Kent, a stepmother ; the whole thing was abundantly
clear. Constance alone rebelled. Constance, we believe,
had rebelled against this kind of thing all along. Of the
last days of her mother we know nothing, beyond the
single fact that they were consoled by the woman who had
already been fixed upon as her successor, and who took her
place at the head of the family immediately on the demise
of the mother. Then a child was born. The second mar-
riage became a prolific one. And Constance had the im-
prudence to revile. The punishment inflicted by her
stepmother was to perform the menial offices of the house-
hold. One day, we are informed, she was ordered to scrub
out the nursery-, and, on refusing, was lashed with a horse
whip until what is called "broken in." She got on her
knees, with her back in livid welts, and washed out the
nursery floor ; but that very night tha child was removed,
and shoved, with its throat cut, down the privy. This,
' we believe, is all. Miss Constance Kent says she herself
did it, and we have no roam to doubt her word.
