THE .ROAD CRIED MURDER.  A meeting of the magistrates of the Bradford division, convened by circular, was held on Saturday afternoon at the Town-hall, to take into consideration a statement made by Mr. Saunders in reference to the extraordinary inquiry which he has been conducting at Road during the past week. From the intimation of the intended meeting conveyed by Mr. Saunders on Friday it was anticipated that the proceedings would be public, Mr. Saunders having expressed his hope that the representatives of the press would be admitted. On presenting themselves at the Town-hall the reporters found the following magistrates present : —The Rev. J. H. Bradney, chairman ; Messrs. E. Edmonds, H. Lopez, J. T. Caillary, S. Molton, T. B. Saunders, the Rev. J. Wilkinson, and Captain Conolly. Mr. W. Stone, magistrates' clerk, and Captain Meredith, chief constable of Wilts, were also in attendance. The Bench were divided in opinion as to whether their deliberations should take place in open court or with closed doors, but ultimately the advocates of privacy carried the day, and a conference of about a couple of hours ensued. At its termination arneds oltuhtei onn ehvadjb. n. t Bradneythe reporters informedwere tshuemmmtohnaetd a, come to by the magistrates to forward a letter signed by all of them to the Times, in reference to Mr. Saunders's proceedings at Road on Saturday. the of in6t. Some the representatives of provincial papers inquired if the journals for which they appeared were not to be furnished with a copy of this letter. The Rev. J. H. Bradney—That is the resolution we have come to, and that is all the answer we can give.  - As the magistrates were retiring, Mr. T. B. Saunders (addressing the reporters) said—ln all human probability I- shall renew my investigation at Road on Monday next. I don't invite anybody to come there, but I shall be happy to see anybody who comes. It was stated that an honourable understanding had been come to between the magistrates that the subject and result of their conference should not be disclosed except by means of the letter which was agreed to be addressed to the Times. We learn on reliable authority that after leaving Road on Friday Mr. Saunders proceeded to Bath, and had an interview with Mr. Hughes, chief of police of that city, who on the following morning left for Isleworth, the residence of Elizabeth Gough, late nursemaid in Mr. Kent's family. Mr. Pollaky, the detective, also left Road for Bath the same evening. His mission, however, is believed to have no reference to the tracing the murderer, but rather to collect information in reference to the extraordinary proceedings which have taken place during the past week.  has sent a second memorial to the home Secretary, wherein THE CO and appears that Mullins ?f his innocence.
