TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
I understand that the Bishop of London is reaping a rich
~,arvest by leasing ground for building purposes at Paddington.
he Worst feature, however, is the uprooting of the working men's
t6ottages which have been let at a low rent. A large number will
°rtlY be taken down. Now, where are the working people to
Le? Would it not be tvell to build in that locality a number of
;Tall houses, in the form of squares, for the working men ? Why
,;'°Uld large houses overthrow everything ? The workman is
.:,riven to the dismal cellar in consequence of the indifference of the
Peer classes. I hope the attention of the Bishop of London tv—
directed to this important subject.—Yours, &c., H.

MURDER OF A MAGISTRATE IN CAVAN.
Accounts reached town this morning of the murder of Mr. G.
F. Bell Booth, a magistrate, whilst returning from church ',ester
day (Sunday) between Kilmore and Crosscloney, county of Cavan.
The " Molly Maguire" system has recently extended into that
County from Leitrim, and it is generally believed that the assassi
nation of this gentleman was concocted by the members of that
tncllf atrocious confederacy which has spread so much Warm in
1,1!:ral counties of the north and north-west. The following ac.
count of this horrible murder is given by a correspondent of the
45a Evening Mail :
CAV&N, JUNE 22.-1 have just returned from the village of
tossdoney, in the vicinity of which a most baraarous murder was
4ornmitted this day. At a quarter-past two o'clock George F.
Bell Booth, Eeq., of Drurricarbin, was returning from
Xilutore Church, in Isis gig, with two of his children, one five
and the other six years old, his eldest son, a bey of about eleven,
Code behind him ou a pony. When he arrived at The Rocks,.
the resit-knee of the Sub-Sheriff, William Bell, Esq ,he was met
a Man, who walked coolly and deliberately along the road,
Itking a king pipe. The villain walked up to Mr. Booth, pre_
"Ming a horse pistol. It is thought Mr. Booth stooped his head,
And that on his doing so the murderer fired The ball entered the
UPPer part of the forehead, and lodged within the skull ; he fell
intitanthr from his gig—he was dead The horse, frightened by
4.4 report of the shot, ran away, throwing the two children on the

Of the gig passing over it. The body of the murdered gentlemen
lies in the house of the Sub-Sheriff, where it will remain until an
inquest is held upon it. Mrs. Bell, of The Rocks, whose carriage
L 4cltust broken down, passed the murderer on foot a few seconds
re he fired. On hearing the report she turned round, and saw
' body fall from the gig.
" What the motive is which instigated this as,assination we
'cannot form the most distant idea, for a more kind, tender-hearted,
'Fright gent;emats did not exist.
litre is no trace of the murderer, who crossed into the fields
liOd 'escaped."
