THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT ROAD.

The private investigation into this case, which
was commenced last week by Mr. Slack, solicitor,
of Batb, seems likely to be rendered abortive by
Mr. Kent declining, on the advice of his counsel and
solicitor (Mr. Edlin of the Western Circuit, and Mr.
Dunn, of Frome) to submit himself and the mem-
bers of his family for examination. The course in-
tended to have been taken by Mr. Slack was to hear
the evidence of every person who was supposed.
capable of throwing any light on this mysterious
crime, and then to report the result to the magis-
trates of the Road division, who, under the sanction
of the Home-office, would determine whether there
was a prima facie case for a public charge being
preferred against any person. Mr. Slack's labours
are expected to last for another week. 1.,

should be averse to proceed in
the matter until he was satisfied on the point. Mr.
Slack replied that those who instructed him were
acting under the sanction of the Government, and
again requested that Mr. and Mrs. Kent should be
forthcoming. Mr. Dunn then wrote, sayiag,---
" As you speak of acting under instructions which
have the sanction of the Home Secretary, I may
inform you that Mr. Kent received this morning
a communication from Mr. Waddington relative
to a proposed public inquiry, in which no mention
whatever is made of your being employed by
the Government, nor is any request made that Mr.
Kent should put himself in communication with
you." Mr. Dunn goes on to say that Mr. Kent is
still most willing to submit himself, his wife, and
every member of his household to examination, on
oath or otherwise, by any magistrate of the county
or other competent official whom the Government
may appoint ; but that, acting on the recommenda-
tion of counsel, Mr. Kent will not accede to the re-
quest to attend at Mr. Slack's office, believing tla
course now being adopted to be calculated to defeat
the ends of justice.
