GIIIDH
ALL.7-John fermely a letter
carrier in the General Post-office, was aurninoried tlo an•
sser a charge of sending threatening let ere to Mr. Fre-
derick Kelly, the Chief Inspector of Letfer-carriers,
whereby that gentleniaii went in fear of his life.'
Mr.. ',pais attended for the prosecution, and 'stated
that in 0ci.,1954, the defendant, in consequence. of a
report required of, and made by,, Mr. Kelly,.
.was dis-
charged, 'since which he had writta several letters to
the- prosecutor, in whieh-he threatened him in an
rect manner by. telling him: life
.was unc:itain, arid that
Mr. Kelly rnight be c*lled before his Judeg- in world at
any moment, and that he (the defendant)..considered
hiiinaetf Wronged' by Mr Kelly, and that he would spend
the last drop of his blood in' obtaiumg revenge. -There
were other passages in'the letters complained of .which
induce,' Mr. Kelly to fear that some attempt upon his
life was_eontemplated:by.the.. defendant, and be, there-
fore, wished that the defendant might be .restrained by
'being required' to find heavy sureties to keep the peace.
Mr. Kelly corroborated this statement.
The defendant Said,-the fact was he had been injured
in the, spine, and therebyincapacitated ; but that having
served 15.-Jears inottrecPost-4)fficie,ll7l3applied theikrin;the
usual way, and -wiao alter; being, bandied 'about :ftoln:one
department to another, referred to Mr. Kelly for afqopy
of the report which was the cause of his dismissal. This
Mr. Kelly refused, and that was the reason he bad • ad
occasion to write to him so frequently. -
Alderman Wire said, the defendant should apply t the
Postmaster-General if he felt himself aggrieved. •
The defendant said, the fact was, Mr. Rowland !Hi .nd
Mr. Kelly managed matters so well between them that
it was no use- applying to any one else. There was no
Postmaster-General ;•Mr. Rowland Hill and Mr. Kelly
filled that post; aad the Postmaster-General knew no
more of what was going on. in the Post-office than the
natives of Bouthern Africa.

Aldermin Wire said he considered the -threats of a
sufficiently alarming character to justify him in calling
upon-the defendant to find two sureties in al. each,
and to enter into his own rec ,gnisances in 1001. to keep
the peace towards Mr. Kelly and all her Majesty's sub-
ject 4, or be committed in dsfault.
The prisoner said he could not procure bail, and he
was accordingly removed in custody.

ladies in a carriage which was drawn up in Bond-street
bypuliin4 up the blind. and Wigging. He saw snore
money handed 'out to the priebner in order to get rid of
the nuisance; and he then went up to her and spoko to
her, saying it was too bal, upon which the prlaner' nv
doubt with the intention of creating a mob, pretend d to
fall back in a fit. A constable fortunately came up at
the time, to whom he related what he had seen. The
constable knew her as one of the frequenters of that dis-
trict, and he then told the constable to take her into
custody.

The prisoner, in a whining tone, said she had been
very ill, and only came out of a sick bed that (lay.
Pol;ce•o:,nstable A 229 said, when he looked at the
prisoner, who wag sitting dovvn shamming illness, he saw
immediately that her indisposition arose from intoxica-
tion.

Lord.Raynham did not wish to press the charge.
Mr. Beadon said if the prisoner was caught begging in
that district again he would send her to prison for a
month, but as L ird- Raynham had intimated his wish
not to press the charge further, he should give her the
benefit of that circumstance, and order her t, be dis-
charged.
