THE CONVICT ARCHIBALD BOLAM.—This noto-
rious convict has addressed the following letter to the
Newcastle papers, relative to a statement which appears
to have gone the round of the press, accusing him of be-
ingconvieted of another offence in New South Wales:—
" Sir,—your sacred duty to me, my relations, and so-
ciety at large demands the insertion of the following
observations in your newspaper. The diabolical para-
graph which appears in the Hull Advertiser of the 13th
of October, 1848, purporting to be taken from the
.Gates-
head Observer, was no doubt fulminated with the view of
doing serious harm. I declared at my trial most
solemnly before God and my country that I was innocent
of the death of Joseph Millie, and at this moment, far
away from friends and foes,' I do declare that I am
guiltless of the crime with which I was charged, and as
I shall have to answer for it before God, the account
which I gave at the trial, to the best of my recollection,
was a true account of all that I knew relating to the
death of Joseph Millie; and to the said paragraphical
charge I also, with the most profound contempt, plead
not guilty. I have never been out of New South Weles
since my arrival in the year of our Lord 1840. Van
Diemen's Land and Nortolk Island lie, the former about
700 miles to the south, and the la, ter 1,000 miles to the
east of Botany Bay, consequently, I could not have been
convicted at Hobart Town, which is the capital of Van
Diemen's Land. But to place the matter beyond doubt,
I enclose a certificate from the principal superintendent
of the convicts of this colony, under whose observation
I have been from the time I arrived until this hour.—
ARCFID. BOLAM."
