THE CHELSEA. MURDERS.

At the Central Criminal Court yesterday, before
Mr. Justice Blackburn, Walter Miller, 31, plasterer, a
respectoble-looking working-man, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Elias Huelin, in the parish of St. Luke's,
Chelsea, on the 9th May. He was also charged with the
wilful murder of Ann Boss. The prisoner, in a firm and
distinct voice, pleaded not guilty to both charges. Mr.
Poland and Mr. Beasley, instructed by Mr. St. John
Wontner on behalf of the Treasury, conducted the prosecu-
tion; Mr. Collins, instructed by Mr. B. Hutchinson,defend-
ed. Mr. Collins, addressing the learned Judge, said he was
instructed to make an application to postpone the case
till next session. Mr. Bury Hutchinson, the solicitor for
the defence, at the request of some society, attended to
watch the case on the secondremand before the magistrate,
and when the examination was over, his duties ended.
Last Saturday he received a telegram from some of
the prisoner's friends, instructing him to appear
for the defence, but he did not receive any
remittance till yesterday (Tuesday) evening. A state-
ment had been made by the prisoner, and in consequence
it was necessary to make certain inquiries of a compli-
catod character, which he could not disclose at present.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said he could not postpone a
trial on materials the nature of which were not dis-
closed. He must know the nature of the facts that
were to be inquired into. After some little delay,
Mr. Collins said there were certain provisions in the
will of the deceased gentleman by which the bulk of his
property was left to his nephew and his housekeeper, and
it was possible that another member of the family
feeling aggrieved at this, had become connected with the
matter, and it would be recollected that it was a man who
spoke broken English that called at the house in Paulton-
square. Substantially, however, the ground on which he
based his application was that Mr. Hutchinson was only
instructed yesterday. The learned judge said it was not
sufficient to say that the prisoner was not guilty, and that
another person was, but he would let the matter stand
over and take another case in the meantime. Mr. Poland
made another application later in the day, but it was
refused.

THE TRIAL OF THE SUPPOSED FENIANS.
It is probal)le that, owing to a suggestion made by the
Law Officers of the Crown, the two suspected Fenians,
Michael Davitt and John Wilson, who stand charged
with treason-felony, will be tried at Leeds. There are
many circumstances which render it desirable that the
venue of the trial should be laid at that town. In the
first place, it was there that Davitt is alleged to
have committed the felonious acts of treason with
which he is charged. There, also, according to the
evidence of two witnesses, the other prisoner, Wilson,
a gun and pistol maker of Birmingham, took from the par-
cel office a box of firearms which he had forwarded from
Birmingham, and sent it, in charge of Davitt's warehouse-
man, to the premises occupied by Davitt under the assumed
name of Jackson. Another incidental advantage is the
central position of the place, and, since a large majority of
the witnesses reside in the midland and northern parts of
the kingdom there will be a considerable saving of expense
if these persons have only to travel to Leeds instead of
London. The lodginghouse keeper with whom Davitt
had been staying in London for the fortnight previous to
his arrest, and the half-dozen detectives who assisted in
the capture of the two prisoners, would at the Leeds Assizes
meet half-way, as it were, the police of Glasgow who
took possession of the cask of fire-arms sent from Bir-
mingham ; the Newcastle police, who are witnesses to
the arrival of similar packages in that town; the wit-
nesses in Manchester who saw Davitt apply at a parcel-
office for a box of ammunition, afterwards seized under
very suspicious circumstanoes, and traced by the police
from a cottage in Caroline-street Birmingham, which
was occupied by a man named Rafferty, and used, it
is believed, by Wilson as a depot for the storage of fire-
arms and ammunition ; and lastly, the numerous witnesses
from the neighbouring town of Birmingham who saw
many of the consignments of weapons which ultimately
fell into the possession of the police, despatched from
Rafferty's cottage under Wilson's direction.—Tini€B.

There was a full attendance at the Botanic Gar-
dens, Regent's Park, yesterday afternoon, as the Ame-
rican plants were in the greatest penfection.
An old pensioner has died at Greenwich from the
effects of injuries he received from garotters, when visit-
ing London the other day. A Coroner's Jury, last night,
returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some per-
sons unknown."
rADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills and Ointment
—Palpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath.—These
distressing affections frequently arise from indigestion or
a relaxed state of the nervous system, and may be
thoroughly overcome by a course of these corrective
pills. When the throbbing of the heart and feeling of
suffocation on making any slight exertion harass the
patient, Holloway's Ointment should be well rubbed,
twice a day, over the pit of the stomach and right side.
It will soon bring out a rash, and on its appearance all
anxiety and every unfavourable symptom will be miti-
' Kaled. The use of the medicine should not be discon-
tinued until the patient has been for some time free from
palpitation and other attendant inconveniences.
