William George Miller, a letter carrier, quartered at
Stratford, was brought up in the custody of Peake, a
constable employed in the Post-office, charged with
stealing a letter committed to his charge for delivery.
Alfred Walter Money, a footman in the service of
Mr. Kay Shuttleworth, 38, Gloucester-place, Gloucester-
square, stated that about five or six weeks back he re-
membered receiving a letter from his mistress for Miss
Coote, which he took to Miss New, of 16, Oxford-
terrace, to have the address put upon it, which was
Ham House, iEast Ham," and he dropped it into the
nearest office on his way home.
Mr. Samuel Clutton, a builder, 14, Oxford-mews,
Cambridge-square, proved that he was acquainted with
Miss New, and was :at her house when the letter in
question was brought to her, upon which he wrote the
address.
Mr. Walter B. Scultherpe, a president of the London
district, said that the letter produced would, in the usual
Course of business, be forwarded to the Stratford Post-
°Mee, where the prisoner was employed as an auxiliary
in the month of December last.
Miss Alice Coote said that she resided at Manor
House, East Ham, which is about two miles from Strat-
ford, and she believed that the letter produced, which
never came to hand, had been written to her in Decem-
ber last, by Mrs. Shuttleworth.
Mathew Peake, the officer, proved that on the 6th of
December he went to Stratford, where he saw the pri-
soner, and on asking him where he lived, he refused to
tell, upon which he searched him, and found a door key
which opened a room at No. 20, Lambeth-street, White-
chapel, occupied by him, where he discovered between
the bed sacking some pieces of paper and the letter pro-
duced, tied in a parcel, the name and address being cut
out of the envelop, on which was some writing in pencil
marks as follows:—" Fire, five of us to do the work of
one charge taker at 12s. per week, witness my hand."
Mr. Robert Smith, the superintending president
of
the London district, said that the prisoner was earning
12s. per week, his duties as an auxiliary not being more
than half of every day. On the 18th September, and on
several occasions since:that period, witness receivedlanony.
mous communications by post,containinglanguage respects
ing Mr. Peacock, the solicitor, Mr.Sculthorpe and others.
They were written with a pencil to the following effect:—
" Fire all the mis-sorted letters I have I burn, except
when they contain money. I have been in office some
years, and have been honest, but will be no more upon
12s. a-week. Sometimes I make 225., sometimes 325.

tales. You may lay your traps, and do what you like,
you never can find me out. I take them home before I
break the seals. I send this to let you know auxiliaries,
wants more more money. You may know this paper,
but you don't know the writing. 12s. a-week—is that
sufficient wages for Essex carriers ? We are not all
Essex cal% es, Bobby Smith." Upon comparing the
Writing with that upon the papers found by the officer
ttOy are exactly alike, and they were stamped with a
bulton on the seal, also found.
Monists Miller, the prisoner's brother, who is driver
oftitfie, mail cart between Harrow and London, having
(181'41641y examined all the pencil writings produced,
identified them as having been written by the prisoner.
Thy Writing was also identified by Harris, a letter-car-
rier frvw Stratford, as being that of the prisoner.

Mr. YARDLEY—Come to the facts of the murder.
Witness—l will, and I'll speak only the truth. I'm here
with the grey hairs on my head, and I don't know whe-
ther I may fall dead before I leave the place. There was
no man there before me to see it. I saw Jerry Regan
strike Jack Sullivan on the head, but I don't know if he
bad a stone in his hand, for in Ireland when a man
hasn't a stick ho is very apt to take up a stone.—
(Laughter.) He beat him on the back part of the head
until his skull was broke; but the doctor said it wasn't
that that killed him, though it would be enough to do so,
but a blow that he got over the temple. He lived three
weeks after he got the beating, and when he died a war-
rant was taken out against Jerry Regan, but he made a
run of it, and I never saw him again until I came to this
country.
Mr. YARDLEY—When did you first see him here?
Witness—He was the very first man I saw when I came
here.
Mr. YARDLEY—Why did not you give him into cus-
tody then? Witeess—" Faith, I didn't, nor would Ido
it now if I could help it. 'Twas no business of mine."
Mr. YARDLEY—Do you give your evidence now wil-
lingly? Witness—Yes, I give it willingly because I
can't help it. I must do it.
Mr. YARDLEY—What was the cause of the quarrel be-
tween them? Loghlan—Why, they belong to two par-
ties, and a young girl was taken away from her relations
On the night the murder was committed.
Inspector Lewis, of the Thames police, said he under-
stood an inquest had been held on the body, and a verdict
of wilful murder returned.
Mr. YARDLEY told the prisoner that he could say what
he pleased, but it would be written down.
Prisoner—As I stand in the presence of God, I had
no more hand in hitting him than you had, gentlemen.
saw Sullivan when he was lying in his bed, and said to
him, "You have no charge against me Jack?" and he
said he had not.
Coghlan—Yes, you said it was your brother-in.law

ENFRANCHISEMENT OF METROPOLITAN LEASE -
HoLDs.—Parliament found no difficulty in passing a law
to enfranchise copyholds, because that grievous descrip-
tion of tenure affected the landed estates of the legisla-
tors. Copyholds were as much a private right of pro-
perty as leaseholds, and there can be no just reason for
continuing the widely injurious tenure on leases, any
more than the now antiquated custom of exacting tines
and heriots on the alienation of lands, or on the death of
their proprietors. To the tenant in most instances the
purchase would bo an object of the deepest interest,
while the lessor could not complain, as he too should
have his equivalent in money to invest at large; and
although perhaps not over one-fourth part of the lease-
holders would purchase the freehold of their occupations;
still the practice of leasing our plots anew for building,
on an extensive scale, would by this plan, be effectually
checked. Of all the advantages, however, that must
ensue from such an enfranchisement, the greatest would
be the diffusion of fixed capital, the next the estoppel of
the frightful concentration of property in a few noble
families, who must in one more generation clutch within
their grasp the heritage of the dispossessed families of
London I It must be apparent that the desired enfran-
chisement of leases will have the happiest influence on
architecture—that substantiality will srpersede economy,
haste, and insecurity—that an Englishman may truly
call his house his castle, and that the arts will be en-
owned wad cattibi‘gd l oribuililluligul,-..agikkr,
