Mumma OP MRS. DONATTT.-1111 coeserence of an.
nouuceinents of the arrival at Deal, fro it on board the
Marquess of Huntley. East Indianian, of a man of the.
n 'me of Doggett, who it was stated hal confessed him-
self to have been concerned in the murder of Airs. Do-
natty, hopes were entertained that the perpetrators of
this atrocious deed would have been at length In-ought t
justice: a further investigation of the circumstan...s.
however, leave this horrible transaction in as much Inv,
tery as ever.• Doggett, it appears, left this corintry soon
after the merrier lied been committed. He sln wed
I restless disposition throughout the voyage, aid at length,
on his arrival at Canton, declared himself to have
one of the persons in the lionse at the time of the murdr r
of Ales. Doughy, althotigh out present at the moment the
deadly wounds were indicted. In conaeqnence of this
confession, his own statement was taken in writing, and
lie gave a circumstantial detail of iv:. he Been said were
the facts of the case, implicating at the time three ince,
who he said were his associates. He al,o stated who he
was—the houses be frequented —the liersons by whom he
was known, and his usual habits—all tending to induce a
confidence in the truth of his s'ory. It was then resolved to
send him back to England as quickly as possible, and the
Alarq. of Huntley being the first ship sailing, be wai pit
on board her, and his written confession iutruated to the
Captain. When the ship arrived in the Downs. hea-
ven, the Bow-street officer, was sent down to receive bile,
and he was brought to town. On being tak.ei before the
magistrates, however, he completely disavowed all he
had previously voluntarily Imputed to himself, solemnly
asserting that he was as innocent of the crime as the 111.1•
gistrates themselves, and that he was induced to aka
a crime, not his own, from the ill-treatment lie received
on board the ship in which he had sailed, and a desire to
return to England without pursuing the voyage. Not-
withstanding this assertion, the different witnesses who
were so often examined on former occasions. and Rhode
scribed the persons of men they had seen lurking shout
Kobert-street on the night of the morder, were sent for,
and one of those has declared she thinks the prieon.l:o
be shoot the size of the man she hat seen near Mrs. Pl-
nattv's door. Ituthveu has also been on the alert, if
pos;.ble, to discover more positive testimony, but hither-
to without success; although some parts of the story
told by the prisoner, as to his habits and to the places
he frequented, torn out to be correct. In this state of
things lie has been remanded, and further inquiries are
making ; but there seems to be but little chance of ob-
taining any positive evidence of his guilt. As he has
voluntarily become his own accuser, however, lie will
not be set at liberty till ample time shall-have been al-
forded for estahlisting his innocence.
