T.YE ROAD CHILD MURDER.

ROAD, MONDAY.

Mr. Saunders resumed his sittings at the Tem-
perance-hall in t Lis village this afternoon. The publics
interest in his proceedings, which from the first day
has been waning, reached its lbwest point to-day,
there being only an au 6,sence of about a score persons.
The Wilts policeman stationed at Road and two
members of the Somersetsbire constabulary were is
attendance, but there were no chiefs, superinten-
dents, or inspectors of eithe force present. The
mysterious Mr. Pollaky was thwe, and took notes of
several parts of the proceedings.
Mr.

offer had never been accepted. ts being made
known to Mr. Foley that he (urSaunders) had
entered on possession of the premises,
Mr. Foley
proposed to make a police station of the place at •
(Nice, but he had declined to accede to that propo.
sition. Mr Saunders went on to narrate the steute*
he bad taken previously to commencing his inquiry, -v
detailing interviews he had sought, and in some
instances obtained, with persons high in au—
thority, the Attorney-General, Captain Harris
(acting ii 2 the absence of Sir R. 11Layne, chief
of the Metropolitan Police), the Lord Chancellor,
Mr. Clive, of the Home-office, &c. In consequence
of what transpired at these (interviews, he (Mr.
Saunders) attended the usual monthly sessions at
Bradford, and after the regular business was over,
a private council was held between four magistrates.
at which no pledge• of secrecy was imposed, and
therefore he felt at liberty to state what took place.
The magistrates present were the Rev. J. H. Brud-
ney,
Mr. E. Edmonds, Rev. J. Wilkinson, and him-
self. He communicated certain things to those ma-
gistrates, and the result of that private council, as
he understood it, was that he was at liberty to take
Inspector Pitney, and any policeman of the Brad-
ford division he might think fit over to Road to
wake investigation into the circumstances of the
murder. This course was subsequently acquiesced.
in by Capt. Meredith, the chief constable. It ap-
peamd, however, that he had misunderstood or mis-
construed the views of his brother magistrates. He
would, however, state that, not having the slightest
confidence in the proceedings hitherto conducted
by the Wiltshire constabulary, under the guidance
of Capt. Meredith, he had felt that it would be folly
in him (Mr. Saunders) to undertake any inquiry
unless he was supported by some one in whom he
could place, reliance. He accordingly secured the-
assistance of Mr. Hughes, chief of the Bath police,
with a confidential man of his selection, This fact
was communicated to his brother magistrates, and
he considered that he was acting with their full
sanction and concurrence. By every word be had
said in that room and by every word he had writ-
ten he was prepared to abide as a man of probity
and a man of honour. It was extremely necessary
ix. him to take care in the statements he made, be-
catteie he knew not how this matter would end. The
resialt of the meeting of the magistrates at Brad-
ford is.as a letter to the Times, sts.ting that what
he had ,asserted was incorrect, or, is other words,.
that he had assumed a sanction for his proceedings
by his braiher magistrates which was never ac-
corded him. He would now ask them to any what
they did sane;
,ion him to do. If what tie had.
done did not m: et their approval, let then:, as
men of honour and gentlemen, say what they.Oid
sanction him to do. At any rate, he might say'
that what he had dome was done with their full
knowledge, if not concurrence, and he thought he
might say that no doubt could be entertained that
what he had done had bean done with the full
knowledge of every person in authority in London.
His brother magistrates had, ho wever, on Saturday
thought fit to withdraw that sanction or concur-
rence—or whatever else it might be—which he
understood they had given him. They. saw him
there that day therefore without tr..' assistance of
a single member of the Wilts constabulary, with
the exception of the local policeman.. He had,
however, the assistance of two of the Soia,
ersetshire
force, who were there under the full sancticen of the
superintendent at Frome, and ready to act :ender
his (Mr. Sa,unders's) orders. After complaining
that Millard, azi officer of the Wilts force, who In. a
been sent to London on special service by him, had:
been recalled, Mr, Saunders appealed to the re-
porters to set his conduct fairly before the public,
and then entered on a statement of what he had
done in the matter since Saturday. Among other
things he said that he had been to Bristol yester-
day, and had there been to several public institu-
tions. He had visited a gaol where he was looked
up—(laughter)—but was afterwards liberated. ;qr.
Saunders then stated that he was prepared to r,e-
eeive any information from anybody- who was de•
sirous of giving it ; but no one volunteered. Ques-•
Lions had been asked as to who he -was, and he
would therefore just give a short autnbiography.
He was a native of the town of Bradford. He went
to school there in his early days, and then went to
Warminster, and thence to IVestminster School.
From there he went to the University of Oxford,
and became a member of a certain college, on the'
books of which his name still appeared. After
passing his examination he entered at Lincoln's--
I-an, and in 1831 he was called to the bar. In 1833
the. then Lord Chancellor put him in the commis-
sion of the peace, and from that time to the pre-
sent he had been a magistrate for the county
.of
Wilt Whether he was engaged in a commercial
undertakii2s with the nobleman holding the highest
office under t
he Crown did not concern the public.
He was, however
r, known to the Directors of the
Bank of England, and had certain private accounts
with bankers at LonciOn, Bath, and Brighton. He
did not feel it necessary to say more than thst Jle,
was an original member of the Royal Agrioulunu
Society, a member of the Royal Horticultural. So-
ciety, and that his name was Thos. Busk San", '
