THE REFORM BILL.

The division on the Reform Bill on Saturday was a melancholy
instance of the way in which delay may be produced, and is pro-
duced, at a period when time is so precious.
One Hon. Member proposes an amendment, which we will not
dispute may in itself be a proper one, but which, at this time, the
Members and the House were unwilling to introduce. very
speech indicates the feeling of the House; but that Member
chooses to take up an hour in collecting the sense of the House
on his amendment, when, 1O and behold ? one Member is found
to be of the opinion of the mover of the amendment
Mr. Hughes Hughes, the Member for Oxford (who has given
notice that he will repeat General Gascoyne's motion of last Par-
liament), was the teller, and one, only one,—and we were sur-
prised to see so active and so zealous a friend of Reform as the
Member for Bridport has been (Mr. Warburton), the only Mem-
ber to make the majority. But wonders, as regards the 'Reform
Bill, will never cease.
In the confusion which took place at the division, the names
of the Members actually present could with difficulty be ascer-
tained ; but in addition to the forty or fifty Anti-Reformers who
voted with Ministers, the folldwing Members, who usually vote
wirh Ministers, were present :

THE LATE MURDER AT BRIGHTON.

CONFESSION OF HOLLOWAY.

We have received an account of the confession made
on Saturday afternoon by Holloway before the Magistrates
of Horsham, which was taken in writing by Mr. Stead-
man, the Magistrates' clerk.
The Magistrates stated to the prisoner who they were,
and asked him what he wanted with them ?—He replie
he wished to make a voluntary confession of the horrible
crime he had committed.

The Magistrates said they felt it to be their duty to cau-
tion bins against saying what might prejuhice him on his
trial, because any confession made to them would be taken
down in writing, and signed by them and by him, if he so
resolved. It would be produced on his trial as evidence
against him, if the Judge should think proper to admit it,
therefore he had better reflect before he made any state-
ment whatever.
Holloway, without pausing, said he did not care about
that, for he had determined to tell all about it, as Int Was
the guilty person.
The clerk then took down in writing from the lips of
the murderer a narrative that IN as truly horrifying, and the
only pers,va who did not shudder at the narrative as it'
proceeded was Holloway himself. He spoke of the cutting
his wife's body to pieces with his own-bread and cheese
knife, just in the same manner as if he was telling a story
about a sheep having been slaughtered, and with as little
remorse as if be had killed a doe'.
The following is the voluntary confession of the mur-
derer. The Magistrates purposely avoided putting a single
question to him, but allowed him to proceed in hie own
way without interruption :
He stated that he became acquainted with the deceased
about eight years ago, he was then between nineteen anti
twenty years of age. She was with child by:Lim soon after
their intimacy, and about seven years ago the Overseers
compelled him to marry her. They lived for some time
pretty comfort-dile, and might have continued to (3.0 so,
but for the ill usage be experienced front her relations.
They took some household furniture from him which they
had previously given him to induce him to marry, and
he got but two pounds from them for the goods. His
furniture being gone he went to sea, and he afterwards
formed an acquaintance with Kinnard, and lived with
her as man and wife. At that time he was a very young
man, and if his wife's friends had behaved kindly to him,
and had given him goad advice, he should have gone back
to live with his wile, and left Kinnard ; but they perse-
cuted him, and went to the Overseers and Magistrates,
to induce him to make him pay his wife a weekly
sum for her maintenance. They did all in their power
to make him wretched, and his wife did all she could
to destroy his peace of mind, and he determined on Leing
revenged upon them for the ill-treatment- he had expe-
rienced. For some time before he committed the murder
he had determined to induce her to go out with him to
walk in some private place, and to assassinate her. He had
asked her repeatedly to go out with him, but she always
refused to accompany him from her lodgings after dark.
When all his efforts to get her out to some secret spot,
where he could despatch her, failed, he resolved upon
taking an obscure house in Donkey- row, and under pre-
tence of living again with her there, to inveigle her to the
place and put her to death. He pretended to her that he
was anxious to cohabit with her again, and she agreed,
after making some objection to his removing her boxes
and things from her lodging to the house he had taken.
She afterwards accompanied him to the house, without
having the least suspicion that he had determined to mur-
der Ler. After he got her inside the house, he seiz,d her
by the throat unawares, and she fell to the ground.
He drew her under a chest of drawers, and continued
pressing upon her throat with all his force, until he
strangled her. When she had ceased struggling, I e took
out his knife and cut her throat. He did not strip the body,
but finding that he could not carry off the corpse whole,
so as to dispose of it in a secret place, he determined to
cut it in pieces, to enable him to remove a part at different
times. He cut off the head, and divided the limbs with
his krai-fe, and cut her in the manner in which the remains
of the body were found. [No idea can be formed of the
sensation produced in the minds of the Magistrates and
gentlemen present, on hearing the dreadful avowal.] He
put the trunk of the deceased, and the thighs, into a box,
and he cartied them to the place (the Lover's.walk) at
Preston, where he dug a hole and buried them. [He did
not allude to the he al and limbs found in the privy.] He
was the only person in the house when the murder was
committed—" he alone did it; he was the guilty person

the confession, and not sign it, even then, if he thought
proper. He replied,
took up a pen and signed his name to the paper, He was
then removed to his cell in the gaol, and observed that his
mind was relieved of a great burden. The prisoner Kin-
nard will be examined before the Magistrates of Brighten
to-morrow.
