THE CONVICT LEFROY. Lefroy had a prolonged interview on Thursday with Mr Dutton, his solicitor, in the presence of the prison officials. He was perfectly calm, and referred to the murder as if to a matter which concerned him but slightly. He persists in desiring that the plea of insanity shall not be raised in his behalf. Mr Dutton questioned him minutely as to the line of defence raised at the trial under his instructions, and on each point he adhered to the statements he originally made, using, in many cases, the exact words formerly employed, and persistently asserting his innocence. Mr Dutton asked Lefroy whether he was satisfied with the way in which the defence had been conducted. The culprit replied that he was more than satisfied, and believed that everything possible had been done on his behalf. Here again he introduced the subject of the third party in the carriage, and it is the belief of his friends that be will cling to this idea as his last hope. Being asked why, after so patient a trial, he should have told the jury, as he did, that they had murdered him, he replied, " I could not help it, Mr Dutton." The same indifferenoe has marked his conduct since his imprisonment, and it may be said he appears resigned to his fate. Although he has little to say on the subject of his guilt, it is confidently believed that before the fatal day he will make 6 clear confession. Since his conviction he has been almost constantly employed in writing letters. On Thursday he wrote to his cousin, Mrs Clayton. He makes no allusion whatever to his crime, but writes in most affectionate terms to his friends, expressing a hope that they will see him on the day of execution. It is understood that a final interview between him and his friends will take place about the middle of next week. Lefroy expresses no fear whatever as to his eternal future. His sisters and Mrs Clayton retain the fullest confidence in his innocence, their knowledge of his usually gentle character rendering it impossible for them to believe him capable of such a crime. The memorial for a respite is very numerously signed in Wallington, a number of ladies having made honsie-to-honse visits for that purpose. Mrs Clayton has received numerous expressions of sympathy and offers of assistance.  Was 8. A.
