CONVICTION OF Dyns.aiTsrs In London.

The trial of Cunningham and Burton was
brought to t. conclusion recently. The court
room was crowded, among the notables being
United States Minister Phelps. Til prisoners
Wore an anxious look and followed Judge
Hawkins charge with intense interest The
drift of the charge was clearly against the
prisoners. The judge, after explaining the ma
ture Of the charge against the prisoners, ana
lyzed the evidence, calling the jury's attention
to the fact that Burton's statement was not
made under oath, and therefore entitled to
very little credence. The jury retired, and in
fifteen minutes returned with a verdict of
guilty against both prisoners. Tho court at
once sentenced both to penal seryitude for life.
Thu announcement was received by the spec,
tators with applause. Cunningham maintained
his self-composure, but Burton broke down and
sobbed when the verdict WAS rendered. When
asked why the sentence of law should not be-
passed upon them, Cunningham protested that
he was innocent. He said he was willing to
accept penal servitude for life, but they could
not touch his soul. Burton simply declared
he was innocent In sentencing tho prisoners,
Justice Hawkins said they had been convicted
of crime as bad, cruel and wicked as has
entered the heart of man. 1t could not be too
well known that neither the queen nor her
advisers could be intimidated by any such
means. The humanity of those in charge OF
the prosecution alone prevented them from in
dieting the prisoners for high treason, on con-
viction of which their lives had been forfeited.
Minister Phelps sat beside Justice Hawkins
while he was sentencing the prisoners.

So far as we are informed, we are In
duced to believe that the committee who
have in charge the business of soliciting
aid for the railroad will be able to make
gocl report at the meeting next Tues
day. They have had little time for work,
but we believe they will make such ex-
hibit of results, and such report of the
favorable inclination of land owners, as
will foreshadow complete success at an
early day. 1t is suggested that as the
respective occupations of the members
of the committee require the close atten-
ton which prevents their giving as much
time as they would wish to the railroad
matter, that some gentleman whose SER
vices can be secured for the purpose make
thorough canvass of the county, solic-
iting subscriptions of land, and prepared
with suitable blanks for the conditional
conveyance of such property.
