cided, when a ossage was brought 10
my chambers in the Temple; from wo-
man said to be dying in St. Bartholomew S
Hospital. 1t was Mary Strugnell; who
when in state of intoxication, had fallen
down in front of carriage, as she was
crossing near Holburn Hill, and had both
her legs broken. She was dying misera-
bly,, and had sent for ME TO make full
confession relative to Wilson's murder.
Armstrong; account was perfectly correct.
The deed was committed by Pearce, and
they were packing up their plumber when
they were startled by the unexpected re-
turn of the Armstrong;. Pearce snatchlng
up bundle and a portmanteau, escaped
by the window: she had not enough nerve
to attempt it, and had crawled back to
her bedroom, where she, watched the do
ings of the farmer through the chinks of
the partition which separated her room
from the passage, coucocted the story
which convicted the prisoners. Pearce,
thinking himself pursued, too heavily en-
numbered for rapid fight left the portman-
teau as described, intending TO call for it
in the morning. He, however, had not
courage to risk calling again, and made
the best of his way to London. He was
now in Newgate under sentence of death
for a burglary, accompanied by persona!
violence 10 the inmates of the dwelling he
and his gang had entered and robbed. l
took care TO have the deposition of the dy-
ing wretch put into proper form and the
result was, after great deal of petitioning
and worryings of authorities full pardon
for both Armstrong and his wife. They
sold Craig Farm and removed to some
other part of the country. where never
troubled to inquire. Deeply grateful was
l to be able at last to wash my bands of
an affair, which had cost me SO much anx-
ety and vexation; albeit the lesson it af-
forded me of not coming hastily to con-
clusion, even when the truth seems, as 1t
were upon the surface of the matter has
not been, trust, without its uses.

Dismissed at Plaintiffs Cost.

1t will be recollected that after the mar
row escape ofU. s. Dsputy Marshal Lowe
from the Penitentiary on an indictment
for kidnapping in Lorain county, he COM
menced suit for $4,000 against Professor
Peck and Fairchild of Oberlin, and Judge
Carpenter of Akron, in the Supreme
Court at Columbus where they happened
then TO be for conspiring, together with
the Grand Jury, Sheriff and Clerk of Lo-
