LONDON, Feb. 1. The new law courts at Temple
Bar closely guarded to-day in consequence Of a
letter having been received by the authorities that
an attempt would be made to blow up the buildings
with dynamite.
During the ez animation of Newbold this morn
ing evidence produced against him in the shape
of letters received from the south of England
threatening to blow up the Town Nall in Derby.
The prisoner admitted that the HANDWRITING on the
envelopes containing these letters was his. These
letters were then read. They described plot for
the destruction by dynamite of the Town Hall and
a bank in an adjoining county. Newbold, when
asked to explain away this evidence, said he could
not, although he insisted that he was innocent OF
any wrong. He said he had replied TO several ad-
vertisements at about the times of the dates upon
the envelopes and said the envelopes he had used
IN these replies must have fallen into bad hands
and been again used, and in this way come into the
possession of the police. The prisoner is about rs
years of age, and gave his name as Philip NeWbold.
The charge against him is conspiracy to cause ex-
plosions." The Chief Constable, when he asked the
magistrate to remand the prisoner declared the de-
teetives possessed in anneomplete state, other evil
dence against Newbold OF a more serious and cir
cumstantial character than that already produced

Goodman, the suspected dynamiter, who was ar
rested yesterday at his lodgings on North street
was released this afternoon. The police, after
thoroughly investigating his case, became convinced
that he is innocent of any connection with dyna
miters or other unlawful parties.

Bad Feeling i'm England Toward th'
Sons of Erin.
The Freeman's journal of Dublin recently as
serted that Irishmen had been wantonly assaulte,
in many English towns in consequence of the dyna
mite explosions. A careful investigation fails t.
establish the truth Of this CHARGE but it is tru
that there is widespread feeling of Irritation
against Irishmen and Irish-Americans. 1t is ais
undoubtedly true that many employers have dis
| charged their Irish workmen for no other reasol
than their nationality aud that 1t is becoming NOR
| and more difficult for Irishmen to obtain employ
| ment anywhers in Great Britain.
