THE TOD M ORDEN MURDER. —Yesterday Miles
Weatherill, who is to be hanged at Salford to-morrow
morning for the murder of Jane Smith, at the Todmorden
vicarage, had a last and final interview with his mother
and sister, and Sarah Elizabeth Bell, his sweetheart. The
meeting and parting of Sarah Bell and the condemned man
was peculiarly touching. It is much to be regretted that
notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Caine, the chaplain pro
tern., the unhappy young man shows no signs of contrition
or even sorrow for his dreadful crime. Indeed, he is said
to be as " hardened as over," and it is to be feared that
such is the fact.

RESPITE OF QUIGLEY.—The Liverpool police
authorities have received a communication to the effect
that the sentence of death passed upon Thomas Quigley
at the assizes last week, for the murder of his wife, will
liQt be carried

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, Friday, 12.45 p.m.

Both crews have been out this morning,
merely paddling, however, and doing no hard
work as usual the day before the race. The
Oxonians wont out first, paddled to the Aque-
duct, and rowed some smart spurts and
starts, coached from the bank by Mr. George Morri-
son. The pace was at times tremendous, the
strength in the boat being something remarkable.
Their rowing was much admired as after turning at
the point they spurted down the Surrey side of the
boat-house.

The Cantabs went out later, their coxswain hav-
ing been taken over the course by Mr. T. S. Egan,
and went little further than their opponents, doing
the same kind of work. The men are in fine con-
dition—if anything, too fine ; but they and their
friends are very sanguine, and only wish, as this
morning, a fair, mild, and fine day. Their rowing is
much improved. The start will take place between
11 30 to 12.

Betting is still 13 to 8 on Oxford, and although
the generality of the Putney people fancy Cam-
bridge none seem inclined to back them, unless at
a long price.

Mr. Robert Bain, oar and scull maker, of Lam-
beth, has chartered the fast sailing steamer Citizen
Bto accompany the race. The steamer will call at
all the piers from London-bridge, and we can safely
say that gentlemen taking tickets for his boat will
find their comforts well attended to.

I'OLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL OF TIIE SECRETARY OF A FORESTER'S
LODGE FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.—Robert Thomas,
secretary of Court 1,715 of the Ancient Order of
Foresters, held at the house of Mr. Rowlands, the
York Minster, Wardour-street, Soho, was brought
before Mr. Knox for final examination, charged
with embezzling several sums of money belonging
to the trustees of the lodge.
Mr. Harper, from the -office of Mr. Froggatt ;
Mr. Wm. Rowlands, of the York Minster ; War-
dour, the treasurer of Court 1,715 of the Ancient
Order of Foresters, proved that the prisoner was
appointed secretary of the Court about three months
ago, having previously acted as sub-secretary ; that
on the death of the late secretary a grant was made
from the funds for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the funeral ; and that Dr. Saunders
had contributed a guinea towards that object
which the prisoner had failed to account to him
(Mr. Rowlands) for. Dr. Saunders proved handing
the prisoner a guinea for the object above stated,
and Sergeant Cole, C division, proved that when
he took the prisoner into custody the prisoner said
that he was in distressed circumstances or he would
not have done as he had done, and that he intended
to make it up.
Mr. Harper said he now proposed to go into other
cases against the prisoner. The prisoner in one
case had received a cheque for 112 9s. 61 from
the district trustee, and failed to baud it over to
Mr. Rowlands, the treasurer of the lodge, as he
should have done, and he had never admitted that ;
and in other cases the prisoner had received con-
tributions from members, marked the amounts on
their cards, but failed to hand it over to the trea-
surer, or to account for it in any way. There were
other cases of a more serious nature against the pri-
soner, in which he had forged the names of widows
who were dead, but it was not proposed to go into
them.

The prisoner said the widows were not dead.
Mr. John Parrington Peters, of No. 219, Strand,
said that the prisoner handed him nine papers pur-
porting to be receipts for widows and orphans'
pensions, and he gave the prisoner a cheque for
£l2 9s. 6d., and it was the prisoner's duty to re-
pay it back to the treasurer of the court.
Mr. Rowlands said it was the prisoner's duty to
band over the cheque to him in repayment of money
he had formerly paid him. The prisoner had never
done so nor accounted for it to him.

Mr. Israel John Smith, of 35, Regent-square, and
Mr. George Brown, of 11, Kenton-street, Bruns-
wick-square, proved paying the sums of 4s. 4d. and
Bs. 7id. respectively, and that the prisoner booked
the amounts on the cards.

Mr. Rowlands produced a book, in which it was
the prisoner's duty to collect the accounts received
from the witnesses, and proved that they had not
been entered in it.

Mr. Harper said he was prepared with the cases.
Mr. Knox said he thought the cases already gone
into sufficient, the more especially so as the prisoner
had admitted his guilt.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
