From the Bells Life
In our first edition we stated that Heenan had been
arrested at Trent Lock near Derby aud conveyed the
lock up in that town. After that edition had gone TO press
learned that Mr. Falkland had rot been with Keenan,
for fortnight 1t is clear therefore, that he could not
have advised the Benica Boy take his sudden journey
into Derby shre ana equally clear 10 that "rhe
Boy himself cannot be censured for the selection of his
quarters he must have been mainly dependent upon
his attendants in this matter and moreover have
any intimate knowledge Of the country Jack Macdonald
has since called upon he says he left Derby on Friday
night and travelled al. night to set himself right with us
and the puoc He declares he selected Treot Lock
being the borders Of counesNottingham Derby
and Lelcesterpnd Within easy of any of them.
He and Ja:ks friend had taken such precautions as
they thought would render everything perfectly
safe. and had employed fellow to sound the police,
and ASCERTAIN what the feeling, and whether
any thing had been done intended to be done
This fellow, whoee expenses paid, and who had re-
ceived all sorts Of presents declared positively that all
was right and now turns out that he had played into
the hands Of the police and it through him alone
that the officers obtained information as 70 Heepans
Whereabouts Trent Lock, seems is the place where
Dick Hall ard other Nottingham men, including Bendgo
Pdf It should have been selected We are glad for
the sake Of all parties that this matter cleared up and
we are pleased at being able TO express opinion that
neither of the men, their friends has had hand in the
business The warrant originally issued in Leicester
shire We have great pleasure gratifying reques, OF
Mr. Falkland in stating that the rumor az TO Heen sas
having been caused by Tom Sayers or his friends
did not emanate from him or from any of Keenan, party
AL Of whom have the highest opinion OF Tom Sayers and
believe him utterly incapable Of such conduct.
