Mit. MURPHY.

On Thursday Mr. Murphy again attended at the Bir-
mingham Police court, to prosecute the two young men
who had been taken into custody on the previous day for
threatening and endeavouring to assault him. The pri-
soners were William Gilbert, a zinc-worker, and Thomas
Mannion, a bricklayer, and the magistrates on the bench
were Mr. Kynnersley (stipendiary) and Lieutenant-Colonel
Ratcliff. It was proved that the prisoner Gilbert, as
soon as Murphy left the police-court on the previous
day, threw a atone at Murphy's head with great force.
The stone missed Murphy, but struck a man who was
close beside him. Gilbert was convicted, and required
to pay a fine of ss. and costs, or go to prison for seven
days. As regarded Mannion, it was proved that he
went up to Murphy with clenched fists and threatened
to strike him. Murphy himself gave evidence against
the prisoner, and said that he had threatened to " do "
for him. Mannion, it appeared, had a very bad
character, ard had been several times convicted of a
similar offence. He was ordered to be sent to prison for
six weeks. At the close of the case, Mr. Murphy's
solicitor, Mr. Parry, app:ied to the magistrates for protec-
tion to Mr. Murphy whilst he returned to his OIS n house;
and Superintendent Sheppard was instructed to accom-
pany him h,,me. The superintendent accordingly, with a
Lumber of police constables, escorted bins to the Bull
Ring, where lie got into a cab, in which he reached his
chapel, in Wrottesley•strcet, without molestation.
Mr. Murphy has addressed a letter to the Lord Chan-
c licr in reply to rec, nt strictures in the House of Lords.
He explains his vocation—that of a public lecturer against
Popery, preaching loyalty to the throne, and obedience to
the laws. He declares that lie has been systematically mis-
represented by the press. He does not remonstrate with
Roman Catholics. " But for the purpose of warning I read
to adult Protestant men extracts from Romish text-books,
that they may know what sort of teaching their wives and
children are exposed to, if they should come under the
influence of the priesthood ; and for the same good purpose
my wife reads to English Protestant women the like
examples. Irish Roman Catholics I do not invite, lio
not address them, I do not desire that they should come to
my lectures." In such a work he considers he has a special
claim for protection from a "Liberal Government." He
points out how differently violent politicians, such
as Finlen and Bradlaugh, have been treated. He is not
the only sufferer in this cause. " Mr. Flynn, Mr. Hous-
ton, and others—all more loyal subjects than Drs. Man-
ning, Ullathorne, or Cullen—have been in the same way
put down by provincial magistrates at the instigation of
priests. One, Mr. Mackey, is now in prison." The letter
was accompanied by various documentary proofs. Its
receipt by the Lord Chancellor has been acknowledged.
