THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.
This morning Antonio de Sa aged 29, was
indicted for the wilful murder of Robert Henderson
Robertson, in the Queen's Prison on the Bth of July fait.

It will he ree,lleeted that on the 21st of Aug. last the
prisoner was Lund guilty cf grievously wounding Mr.
It sbertson and atntenced to fiftien years penal servitude,
the Pidge at the same time informing him that if the
prosecutor died be would have to take his trial f)r
murder. Unfortunately a very few hours after the trial
Mr. Robertson exp:red and Salvi was charged with
murder.

On the part of Cue prisoner, a plea of autrefois acquit
wag put in, and the learned counsel contended that his
cAlld not Le indicted on the charge of murder, as
he hod already been tried and convicted for the offence
he Lad committed, and ba'l been sentenced to 15 years'
papal servitude.

Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecution, as' ed the
Court for time to meet the plea put in by the prisoner or
demurrer.

The learned judge thought it but reasonable that
time should be allowed th) counsel fur the Crown to
meet the plea of anteefois

After a short conversation it was decided that tie
trial should bo postponed until the next session, and
that it should be taken the first thing on Wednesday,
the 28th of October. The Court also directed that a
o ,py of the demurrer should be transmitted to the pri-
soner a week before the day fixed for the trial, in order
that he might be prepared with his answer.

of Mr. Hammond, tailor. &c , No. 250, Oxford-street,
and stealing property to a large amount, and the latter
with receiving a portion of the same, well knowing it to

a roan named Webb, was apprehended at his residence

Lot been able to set the woman, as he had been told
that she was confined to her bed from the ill-treaqnent
she bad received at the hands of the prisoners. He now
