THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 27, 1860.

A ugust.

i!cumerous and frightful though the murders of
flit present year have been, one of the very blackest
rev :orded upon the bloodstained annals of 1860 was
assassination of old Mrs. EMSLET down at
M ile-end, on the evening of Monday, the 13th of

It was a crime in itself singularly brutal in its
character ; but its own intrinsic atrocity has since
then been enhanced by its perpetrator to a degree
of infamy almost, we believe, if not entirely, un-
paralleled. The prisoner, who was accused of
having deprived this wretched old woman of life,
has now—after what he himself acknowledged to
hilve been a careful and patient trial by a jury of
his countrymen—been formally convicted upon the
evidence, and is at this present moment in
the condemned cell under sentence of death.
The evidence upon which GEORGE MUL-
LINS has been thus found guilty is what
the evidence almost invariably (we had nearly
written it almost inevitably, from the very nature
of the crime of murder) must be—circumstantial.
It is the rarest occurrence well imaginable to be
I.(!trzil anywhere related in the history of these
""ds of blood and darkness, when the murderer
i 8 letually seen in the act of destroying human
life;--when he Is seized upon the spot, red-handed,
wi tla the weapon yet warm in his grasp. Half a
Cel it Ury has gone by since the family of the MARS—
father, mother, and children—were all butchered,
had their throats cut at mid-day in their home, in the
veil • midst of this populous city of London, actually
in 1 chhe sight of the ief witness against the author
of that wholesale assassination. And even then
that eye-witness of the crime—the servant girl,
who had gone out to get the beer for dinner
—beheld the murderer cutting the throats of his
vit Aims as she stood, jug in hand, paralysed with
horror at the half-open sitting room door—beheld
the murderer cutting the throats of the last of his
victims in the reflection of the ghastly scene in the
looking-glass over the mantelpiece ! The evidence of
an actual eye-witness in fact is about the rarest evi-
dence that is ever brought into a court of law against
a murderer. -Whenever it is brought into court it
is almost always that of King's evidence—or rather
Nve should say now Queen's evidence. It is the
'evidence of an accomplice—not actually himself
a shedder of blood—who purchases immunity
from the penalty of death by the additional
infamy of turpitude to the more heinous criminal,
the actual assassin. Otherwise in the vast majority
oil' instances the evidence against the accused must
rieeds be, we repeat, almost by necessity circumstan-
tial evidence. It is entirely upon circumstantial
evidemce that MuLliNs has now been convicted of
the murder of Mrs.T.MSLEY. No one saw him do tl e
deed---no one affects to have seen him do it. In all
h
probability the murder was witnessed only
by t
awful eye o:` DIVINE PROVIDENCE. It was
perpetrated about twilight on Monday evening, the
13th of August... A crashing blow or two
plus ;et have doiNe •
it, when the victim
was. taken alt, ?gether at a disadvantage,
