THE MIIRDERTOFAIRS._,KELLY.„
It was not until late i the afternoon of ThUrsday
that the application was made in the
,Queen's Bench
to admit to bail Mr.... George Strevens, .who was
charged with conspiring to murder. Mrs. 'Sarah
Kelly. The motion was resisted by the Solicitor-
General on behalf of the Crown, and also by counsel
on the part of Dr. Bailey, a nephew' and residuary
legatee of•the-deceased: The arguments pro and
con. did not close .until. past 4 o'clock, when the
Court decided on admitting Mr. Strevens to bail in

,even to the Crown solicitor for Westmeath and
the resident magistrate at lthillingar to take the
bail. In pronouncing the judgment of the Court
the ford .Chief Justice said—
" The principles upon which the Court acts in the ap.
plicationa of this kind are perfectly well settled and un-
derstdod. We have heard a very luminous, and, at the
same time, condensed and pointed statement of all the
circumstances from which it is supposed that what is
called a suspicion—a strong suspicion—might arise. But
clearly it is.not sufficient that it should be possible, by
the talent and ingenuity of counsel to educe, from the
combination of some of the circumstances in the case, a
possibility of suspicion. That is not a ground upon
which the Court can Oessibly act. The crime imputed is
a conspiracy ; not a possibility of suspicion of conspiracy,
but a,conspiracy in point *of fact—a conspiracy entered
into to commit the murder. Now, what strong fact has
been atatedamounting to evidence tending to showand to
establish the fact of conspiracy? .Avast number of colla-
teral and independent circumstances have been adverted
to, and the circumstance of the account which the accused
gave,, which varied in some respects with respect to the
transaction itself from the account which the girl
gave.; But it must be recollected in what material
porticos her evidence corroborated him, in whatever
circnostanea they may have varied in giving the
account of the same transaction. It was very candidly
and properly admitted that seine of the circumstances
adverted to as raising suspicion might be well accounted
for by the circumstances .under which the accused was,
the terror and confusion, and the fact of his wanting the
heroism to interpose and expose himself to danger at
the moment. Perhaps I ought not even to go so far
into the case. Bull undertake to say that the Court,
in order to deprive a party of his liberty, most feel that
thereis some evidence"--and the cases referred to say
strong; evidence, but it must be that which is reasonable
evide ce—in point of faCtteilding to Show that the party
is guilty of -the crime of which -he is accused, not the
raising of a suspicion that be may have been. It must

haves not had that`evidenee on whi - we "Pay eitliag ea
grand jurors, we would think we had ground ufw*
which to find a bill. What may have excited so great
impression was, that so many irrelevant and. inde-
pendent circumstances were brought together to affect
the character of the accused ; and that may have ex-
cited .a suspicion=-upon which, however, we cannot act
—and it should nbt be a ground to refuse the party to be
admitted to bail. We ate not discharging him—that is,
not the application. The crime was, indeed, a serious
one ;;but that cuts both ways ; for the suspician of a
heinous crime of this sort is not to be lightly entertained,
as if there are reasonable and substantial grounds that it
should be considered. We are of opinion that this party
should be admitted to bail—substantial bail in relation
to the circumstances of the party."

PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY.
The duties of the court-martial, which commenced at
6 o'clock yesterday evening, did not close nntal mid-
night. This morning the South Devon Artillery, the
Royal Marines, the (repots of the 66th and 94th Regi-
ments, and the'S)uth Devon, Limerick, and Warwick-
shire Regiments of Militia having formed open square
on the parade in the Citadel, Gustav Shulze, a Prussian
by birth, and one of N. o. 6 company, received 50 lashes
from two men belonging to the 94th. The prisoner is
said to have insulted his colour-serjeant at Bovisand,
and, being ordered to be placed under arrest, called upon
his comrades to resist, when they all refused to obey
orders. This company is confined to their barrack-rooms
with a guard over them, and the Citadel continues closed
against CIN thane.
In noticing this case of gross insubordination at Ply-
mouth, it is desirable that it should be well known that
the men who compose this battalion were raised in
America, and have no connection whatever with the
force at Shorncliffe and at Scutari, recruited in Germany
by Baron Stutterheim.

the representatives of the various metropolitan parishes,
waited upon the Commissioners of Tolls yesterday at
their offices in Whitehall-place, for the purpose of memo-
rialising the commissioners on the subject of the removal
of the metropolitan tolls. The Earl of Lonedale, the
chairman, presided. Mr. Bradfield, who said he repre-
sented five districts, presented a memorial praying the
removal of the tolls, and made various statements to
prove their injurious effect. Other gentlemen addressed
the commissioners in support of the object in 7iew. The
chairman, after hearing these statements, said that the
representations of the memorialists would receive every
attention from the commissioners.
