THE POST-OFFICE AT WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON.—
Yesterday the four letter boxes placed at Whitecross-
street Prison, for the convenience of the prisoners, were
removed, to their great regret, by order of the Post-office
authorities. The expense to the Government had been
121. a year, and the privilege conferred had been highly
prized by the inmates, who could post their own letters
and receive letters from their friends. The consequence
will be that the prisoners will have to send their letters
out of the prison to be posted elsewhere. Independently
of all this the postmen will have the trouble to deliver
the letters to the inmates. A similar order has been
made with regard to the Queen's Prison, where a post-
office has been established for 50 years.
THE MURDER AT GUERMSEY.—The trial of John
Charles Tapner, a clerk in the Ordnance-office, for the
murder of Mrs. Sanjon, and for the subsequent attempt
to burn the body by setting fire to the house, which
came on before the Royal Court at Guernsey on the 20th
ult., has at length been brought to a conclusion, after
lasting 13 days. The jurats were some time in consul-
tation, and then unanitnously returned a verdict of
guilty. The bailiff then, in a most impressive address,
passed sentence of death upon the prisoner in the usual
form. Tapner heard the sentence with apparent indif-
ftrence.
