THE ESSEX MURDERERS.
(From the Essex Herald.)
Up to yesterday evening there bad been little altera-
tion in Drory. 'tumours had been abroad of his hay.
lug been attacked by brain fever, but there was not
the slightest ground for the statement; his health eon-
tinues good, and his manner calm, and he appears to
be sensible of the value of the anxious spiritual atten.
tion of the worthy chaplain. He has not been visited
by his friends since the day above stated, but it is un-
derstood his family will take their final leave of him at
the close of the week. Many persons have been anxious
to obtain an interview with him, some, probably, from
mere curiosity, but this, of course, has not been
allowed. On Friday, Mr. Hammond, one of the wit-
nesses against him, applied to the magistrates of the
Chelmsford bench, for an order of admission, but
on stating, in answer to the inquiries, that it was only
as a neighbour he wished to see him, and that he did
not know the culprit had expressed any desire for Mao
visit, the application was refused. Of course all sorts
of rumours have been flying about relative to the cul-
prit and his connexioes, scarcely any of which have the
slightest foundation in truth. Amongst other things it
was stated that Miss Giblin, the young person to whom
Drury was about to be united, was staying in Chelms-
ford during the whole of the trial—it was even added
that she was in a condition that would render the matter
doubly terrible to her and to her friends; but we have
reason to believe that both assertions are utterly false,
and we allude to them only because we feel that the con-
tradiction of statements that have been so widely spread
is an act of justice to a respectable family.
Drory'. victim, Jael Denny, it seems was not a na-
tive of Essex. Up to four yt ars ago she resided at
Fransden, in Suffolk, where her mother married her
present husband, arid they then left to enter into the
service of the criminal's father at Doddinghurst. Jael
is represented by those who knew her in Suffolk as hav-
ing been there noticed as " a superior girl for her sta-
tion," and her deportment and personal appearance gave
her a prepossessing character.
Mrs. Chesham, the other culprit, up to last night had
made no confession of the crime for which she is about
to suffer.

Holloway's Pills, a most
extraordinary Cure of Dropsy effected by their use.--Mr.
George
Rowley, of Tobago, had suffered from this disease for
upwards of live years, during which period he underwent the
operation of tapping five times, his malady was most skilfully
treated by several practitioners, notwithstanding which he got
gradually worse, his strength and health failing so fast as to
render any hope of recovery almost vain. As a last resource
he tried Holloway's Pills, and by persevering in their use ac-
cording to the directions affixed to each box he was completely
cured in a few months, and he is now restored to a good state
of health.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hollo-
way's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
