ATTACKING MR. MEIIvLEJOHN. The police report in the Morning Advertiser is to the following effect:— Wandsivorth.—Ex- detective Meikl'john as a Prosecutor.— William Middleton, 35, hawker, was charged with assault- ing the prosecutor, and, in company with two men not in custody, stealing from him a watch and chain valued at £ 35. The prosecutor, who appeared to have been very badly treated and wore a shade over the right eye, stated that he was a private inquiry agent, residing in Heaver- street, Battersea. On Friday night, the 12th of June, about 11 o'clock, when standing opposite a fish stall in Falcon-road, looking at some salmon, Middleton pushed against him. He told him to get away and leave him alone, and he passed on. Prosecutor was in company with a friend, and was parting with him before turning down a bye-street to go to his own home, when prisoner came up again, and wanted to fight him, and squared up. He, prosecutor, struck him on the chest and knocked him over, and he got up and went away, and prosecutor saw no more of him till just as he was going in at his own door, when the prisoner suddenly faced him, and struck him a violent blow in the eye. As prose- cutor attempted to seize him, two other men hustled him from behind, and stole his watch and chain. He caught hold of the prisoner, who struggled most desperately, and they both fell on the ground. While rolling over with him, some- one kicked him twice on the head and again on the shoulder and back. The prisoner said he was innocent, and that the prosecutor was drunk. The prosecutor replied that if such WHS the case he could not have held him, and Endicott, P.O., said that the prosecutor was perfectly sober. The prisoner was remanded for a week. Now, I am not at this stage of the inquiry going to comment on this case any further than to ask if these things are done in the green tree what may be done in the dry, or how a small weakly man, walking alone in an out-of-rhe- way street at night, is likely to fare, when one, certainly of more than ordinary robust physique and strength, and accustomed all his life to tackling the most desperate characters, can thus be successfully operated upon at his own door ? I now see that it is impossible to guard against ¡ any such attack. It comes as unexpectedly as a flash of lightning, and identification is almost impossible, for, after a severe blow in the eye, as most are aware, for half a minute or so one can see nothing but "fireworks." I have no idpa what the two who got awav were like, but I will do the prisoner the credit to say that, though a much smaller man than myself, of all the demons and tartars I ever tried to detain, ¡ I think he offered the most stubborn resistance. I am confident that, powerful man as I am, if I had been ignorant of certain tactics known to the police, 1 could not have succeeded in retain- ing my hold of him. The fishmonger informed me that he observed him eyeing my chain when he pushed against me at the stall. It would be worth J £ 14 after a wagon wheel ha.d passed over it, M), no doubt, it excited his cupidity. S4 10s. in gold in the same pocket as my watch they did not succeed in getting.

THE CASE OF SIR E. KOBERTS. I will now conclude by quoting a paragraph which I find in the Daily Telegraph of the 15th inst.. to show that a member of the "upper ten" is as liable to suffer from the garrotting pest as an ex-policeman On Saturday morn- ing at three o'clock, Sir Randal Roberts was garrotted by two men in Chapel P ace, Oxford- street, adjoining the Vere-street Post-office, and robbed of everything he bad upon him. The I usual system of sudden attack from behind was employed, one scoundrel throttling the victim while the other rifled his pockets. The unfortu- nate gentleman had only parted a few minutes previously with Mr. Harrington O'Reilly, with whom he had been walking. Neither gentleman had any suspicion that they were being watched or followed. Although Sir Rsndal called lustily I for help, no policeman was forthcoming to render assistance." Any comment on my part is unnecessary, but I ouiht to state that. though a crowd gathered round me while struggling with my prisoner, no one rendered me any assistance, and that it was fully twenty minutes from the time I was attacked before a policeman appeared upon the scene!

GUARDING ROYALTY. During the earlier part of the year 1868 I was brought into most intimate connection with Royalty, and consequently had a more thorough appreciation of the significance and import of the title than I ever had before, or am ever likely to have again, for, owing to the Fenian scare, I was deputed, along with three other sergeants, to attend upon and travel with Her Most Gracious Majesty the Que,m wherever she went. The responsibility of my position was no doubt great, but great was the enjoyment, for, of course, with the exception of keeping my eyes about me, I had nothing to do except walk about like a gentleman and amuse myself. Twice I went to the Isle of Wight, when I and one sergeant were stationed at West Cowes, one at Yarmouth, and one at Jlyde. Our nominal duties were to see all boats arrive and to follow any suspected persons, but happily our sus- picions were never seriously aroused, and no cause of alarm marred the even tenor of our life. All vessels from America that arrived in South- ampton water, and were going to Havre, had to be boarded by me, and the passengers closely scrutinised for suspected Feniaiis, but I never had grounds for detaining anyone.

HAPPY DAYS IN SCOTLAND. Towards the end of May—I know we were there at the time of the Derby of 1368—we accompanied Her Majesty to Scotlano, and the memories of the happy days I spent between Ballater, Balmoral, and Braemar will never be effaced from my mind. To say nothing about the grand scenery, and clear bracing climate, the mere fact of my foot being again on my native heather was enough to fill me with enthusiasm, and vividly to recall the happy days of boyhood. Our duties here were to scour the country prior to Her Majesty taking her drives and visiting, as she constantly did. not only the splendid demesne of Colonel Farquharson, of Invercauld, but even the humblest cottiers' and shepherds' abodes. At other times I used to be in atten- dance on Prince Arthur.now Duke of Connaught, when he came to lish ih the glorious reaches and pools of the Dee, between Ballater and Balmoral. Many a lordly salmon did I see brought struggling to grass in that paradise of the angler! Many a pleasant evening did I spend in the company of gamekeepers, gillies, and trusted servants, among whom I must not omit to mention the late Mr. John Brown, and to testify that he was not only the prince of good fellows, but a humorist and practical joker of very high order, and by no means an "austere" man, as many, from his associations and sur- roundiegs, might suppose him to have been. However, these happy days -and I think I must add nights, for there was no very distinct line of demarcation, at least so far as bed was concerned, drawn between them-were destined to come to a close, and the Queen returning to London in the autumn, preparatory to her visit to Germany, I I had to return to my duties at Scotland Yard.

4 NEURALGIA VERSUS ST. JACOBS OIL- Miss ALICE DOTFIN, of Nursling, near South- ampton, states:—"I have suffered from neuralgia fur years, and only those who have endured this terrible pain can appreciate the amount of suffering which I have undergone. Of course, like others, I used all the remedies which were recommened to me, but received no benefit whatever. The first application of St. Jacobs Oil gave me instant relief, and I have no return of the pain." Mrs. D. Coast, of Grove Cottage, Sandway, Maidscone, Kent Co., saya —"The second bottle of St. Jacobs Oil has cured me of neuralgia of two years standing." Mr. F. Furnival, master, British Schools, Marshfield, says :—"Having suffered from neu- ralgia, I was quickly and permanently cured by one application of St. Jacobs Oil after all other remedies had failed." L. A. Cowap, chemist, of Church-street, Med- hurst says :—" I had an opportunity a few days ago of seeing St. Jacobs Oil used in a case of facial neuralgia, and I must say the effect was instantaneous, the pain entirely disappearing in a few minutes." 00 For more than nine months Mr. Harry L. Agnue, carpenter in the Royal Arsenal, Wool- wich, suffered from neuralgia in the head. He could obtain no relief, but a few applications of St. Jacobs Oil removed all pain and cured him. Mr. T. Bann, 45, Stonehill-street, Anfield, Liverpool, says:—" I have tried St. Jacobs Oil for neuralgia, and the pain left me after one rubbing." James McKenzie, corporal, Royal Engineers, Chatham, was nearly crazy with neuralgia in his face and head. St Jacobs Oil was applied, and the pain ceased at once as if by magic. St. Jacobs Oil has cured thousands of cases of neuralgia which have resisted treatment for the greater part of a lifetime.

CORWEN HIGHWAY BOARD. THE usual monthly meeting was held on the 9th inst., when there were present: Messrs. D. White (vice-chairman), J. R„ Walker, W. J. Jones, E. Jnrrett, H. Davies, E. Jones, J. Jones (Caenog), S. Williams, and Rev. Rees Jones; together with Mr. L. Lloyd John (clerk). FINANCIAL, The Clerk submitted the wages-sheet for September, which included the quarterly bills for materials. He stated there was no quorum at the last meeting, but the three members who did attend signed a cheque, and the payment should now be confirmed. The wages for the past month amounted to £ 40, for which a cheque was drawn. PARISH IN DEFAULT. The Clerk stated that the parish of Llansant- ffraia had paid no portion of the call made last April.—The Rev. Rees Jones remarked that the overseers' accounts had been passed by the vestry. and he thought the amount due to the board was included.-The matter was left in the hands of the clerk. MAIN ROADS. The Clerk reported that the quarter sessions had allowed the board's claim for £180 lis. 9d. in respect of expenditure on main roads for the year ended 25th March last. There was also £G31Os.11d. due from the Government. The two sums amounted to E244 2s. 8d., and the surveyor's estimate at the beginning of the year was X-244 10s., which was very near the mark. .-The board complimented the surveyor upon his accurate forecast. GRATING ON ROADS. The T v. Rees Jones and Mr. Edward Jones stated tu .t; they bad bsen desiied by the board of guardians to convey a request that this board should in future attend to surface water drains along the highways.—After some discussion, the board decided to do so. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that two culverts had been made at Bettws and Melinwig Road, with six-inch pipes: one with stones at Penygeuian, and four at Glyndyfrdwy. The wages of all the labourers had been reduced to 14s. per week, commencing from October 29th, for about 16 weeks.—The board considered the report very satisfactory. THE QTTORTTM. Mr. W. F. Jones moved that the quorum be reduced from five to three. He said that on no less than two recent occasions four members had attended the board meeting, but as a fifth did not put in an appearance. no business could. be transacted.—Mr. C. Jones seconded the motion, which, after some discussion, was carried. The board then adjourned.

PRIMROSE LEAGUE HONOURS AT CARNARVON. —At a large gathering of the Carnarvon Habita- tion, held at the Assembly-room of the Conser- vative Club, on Monday last. a very interesting ceremony was gone through, viz., that of pre- senting certain members with the grand star of the league for special and meritorious services conferred by resolution of the grand council. The decoration is a very handsome silver fine pointed star with gold circles and chased en- graving, suspended by a primrose silk ribbon, embroidered with golden primroses. Mr. G. W. Duff Assheton-Sraith, president of the habita- tion, occupied the chair, and was assisted by Captain Wynn Griffith, the ruliug councillor of the habitation. The following were the mem- bers upon whom the honour was conferred, the ruling councillor presenting them to the presi- dent, who invested each one with the badges:— Mrs. Wynn Griffith, Llanfair Hall (dame presi- dent of the habitation), holding special service clasps for 1886 and 1887, for the great interest she had taken in the welfare of the habitation; Mr. and Mrs. Aspinwall, Graianfryn. holding special service clasps for 1886 and 1881, for the active part they had taken in establishing the habitation; and Mr. George Owen, holding special service clasps for 1886 and 1887, for his services as the active secretary of the habitation since its formation, and the very excellent manner in which he had carried out all the arrangements in connection with the Prime Minister's visit to North Wales in April last.

MENAI BRIDGE COUNTY COURT. TUESDAY.—Before his Honour Judge Horatio Lloyd. PULLING DOWN A WALL. Ellen Parry, Menai Bridge, was sued by Evan Jones, of the same place, for damages to a wall. —Mr. S. R. Dew was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thornton Jones defended.—Mr. Dew said the action was brought to recover damages for injury to a wall. -His Honour observed that he never saw a'ounty like this where disputes were so prevalent regarding walls. If a similar thing occurred in Cheshire they would say «• Don't let us be fools; let us shake hands over it."—Mr. Dew went on to say that the plaintiff erected his house according to plans, and Mrs. Parry, who lived upon the adioining property, went and pulled the wall down. The plaintiff incon- sequence claimed nominal damages, Xi. Air. Evan Furry, builder and contractor, Menai Bridge, said his was the produced plan of a house and a certain wall on land adjoining that of the defendant.-Evidence having been given by Mr. Arthur Haslam, surveyor, and Mr. Owen, Mr. Thornton Jones submitted that there had been trespass upon the defendant's property, and that under those circumstances she was justified in pushing the wall down and removing the obstruction—Mrs. Ellen Parry, wife of Henry Parry, was called, and said that the land surrounding her mother's cottage was unenclosed and it was her mother's property.-His Honour promised to visit the place in dispute, and judgment was therefore reserved. BUYING GOODS AT AN AUCTION.— A "PERFECT FOG." William Williams, Clorach, sued John Thomas, Maes Phillip, for the recovery of S2 19.3. 9d, for goods sold at an auction—Mr. D. Owen (Messrs. Owen and R. A. Griffith) was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Laurie (Messrs. Rice Roberts and Laurie) for the defendant.—The :plaintiff said he was a farmer, and used to live at Nant. When he left there be employed Mr Hugh Owen at Llangefni to sell his stock. Edward Jones, Nant Uchaf, kept the amount of the sale, and received the money. Witness did not receive a half-penny that day. There was a balance of X2 19s. 9d. unpaid. When witness asked the defendant for the money, he said he had paid it to Mr. Hugh Owen.- Hugh Owen, auctioneer, Llangefni, proved that certain lots at the sale were knocked down to John Thomas, who had not paid witness.—Mr. Laurie said that the defendant's case was that he did not owe the plaintiff any money, as he had a witness to prove that the money had been paid over to the plaintiff himself.- The defendant was called, and enumerated the goods he bought at the sale. JHe paid for all on the day following the sale. Witness first got a bill some four years ago. All the things he had bought for himself and other people were included in that bill. Witness had not heard anything since until this year. Witness received no receipt from plaintiff for anything he paid.—Mrs. Jane Owen proved seeing John Thomas paying a sum of money to plaintiff.—Mr. Hugh Owen, recalled by his Honour, said that John Thomas called upon him, wanting to see the book, and ascertain if he had paid him (witness). This statement was positively denied by Thomas.— Mr. Laurie That is my case.—His Honour: Well; I am in a perfect fog. I never heard such a stupid witness. His evidence is not worth a farthing.—Mr. D. Owen remarked that the defendant had also contradicted himself more than once.-His Honour: I quite agree with you. I don't know which is the worse (laughter). Ultimately, his Honour said he was in that position that he could not give judgment for either party, and they would have to pay their own costs. APPLICATION. Mr. J. R. Evans. Holyhead, made an applica- tion for a new trial in an action brought by Morris Griffith, Bull Bay Hotel, against. Thomas Pritchard, Waen, Pensarn, in which judgment [ had been entered for the plaintiff. The claim was for work done with a thrashing machine in 1863 or 1854. The defendant went to America I in 1867, and returned a short time ago.—The case for the applicant was that thp money had been paid 23 years ago.—Mr. R. Gray opposed the application, which was refused with costs. A PROMISSORY NOTE CASE. Mr. E. G. Roberts, Holyhead, called attention to an action h?ard at a previous sitting, in which Hugh Jones, farmer, Aherffraw, was sued by Owen Price, Amelia-street, Holyhead, to recover C42 on a promissory note. It had been referred to the registrar (Mr. G. D. Dew), who found that X15 17s. 6d. was due. Both parties were trustees under a will, and, on the report of the registrar being presented, it was contended, on behalf of the defendant, that one trustee could not be ¡ sued by another. The registrar then got over the difficulty, and amended the report by creating a cestui que trust. He (Mr. Roberts) now contended that the order of reference-- this being a common law action- CtHIJd not apply to a cestui que trust, and that one truste could not sue another, both having an equal right to the fund. Unfortunately Mr. Laurie, who was for the plaintiff, was not present. -His Honour said that it was too important a matter for him to deal with at present, and it must come on at the Llangefni court. TAXATION OF COSTS. Mr. E. G. Roberts, raising a. question as to the taxation of costs at the Holyhead office, the Judge said that by permission of the Govern- ment room was opened at Holyhead once a week for the convenience of suitors and the paying out of money. Llangefni, however, was the head office, and the taxation of costs must iake place there. TITLE DEEDS. Owen Hughes, Mona House, Beaumaris, was sued by E. Parry Jones, 61, Eastbourne-street, Everton, Liverpool, to recover E25 damages in lieU of the delivery of title deeds and other docu- ments relating to a freehold house at 18, Pool- street, Carnarvon.—Mr. Allanson, who was for the plaintiff, said that an order of discovery had been made by the court, and that had not been obeyed. He had no wish to have defendant committed, but it was felt that an affidavit should be filed as ordered, and that he should be directed to pay the costs.—Mr. Thornton Jones said that the order of discovery had been made by the registrar ez parte and, it was submitted, againsj the wrong party.-The Judge said that the fact could be set out in the affidavit. The order of the court must be obeyed and the affi- davit filed within a week. It might set forth the fact stated by Mr. Thornton Jones, but he should hold that prima facie the plaintiff was entitled to costs.—Mr. Thornton Jones: We are quite ready to file the affidavit.

A PLEASANTEXPERIENCE. I have suffered for manv years with rheuma- tism," writes Mrs. Sarah Mumford. of 39, North street, Manchester-square, London, W., and I never found relief until I had taken a course of Warners's SAFE Cure,' and Wampr's SAFE Rheumatic Cure.' I tried doctors' prescriptions and many advertised preparations,but gradually grew worse. My hands and feet were badly swollen, my appetite was capricious, and I was greatly reduced in flesh. I was also very nervous, and suffered extremely from a com- plication of diseases, which seemed to aggravate my rheumatism. The pain at times was so great that I thought I could not bear it. and it was only with the greatest difficulty that I was able to walk. While in this apparently hopeless condition a friend of mine sent roe your valuable medicines, with the request that 1 should give them a trial. I did so, with the result that they agreed with me perfectly, and I was soon able to walk about with ease. I am now as strong in hands and feet as the average woman, and do not tire with exertion. My recovery is all the more wonderful when I think of the low condi- tion I was in prior to commencing the me of the SAFE Remedies.' In fact, I had renounced all hope of cure, because of this and the many vain efforts which had been made by the most skilful physicians in my behalf. I shall ever be thank- ful that I tried • Warner's SAFE Remedies,'and I must confess that I can enthusiastically endorse them. I am led to make this voluntary state- ment solely by Teason of my gratitude at having been restored to health." Warner's SAFE Cure can be had of all chemists and medicine vendors in the United Kingdom, at 43. 6d. per bottle, or of H. H. Warner and Co., 86, Clerkenwell-road, London. E.C.

BANGOR TOWN COUNCIL. AT a meeting of the council on Friday, Mr. John Pritchard presiding, Alderman Charles Pierce was elected mayor, and he nominated Councillor Cameron as deputy-mayor.

A BILL OF COSTS. Some discussion arose over a bill of costs sent in by Messrs. Bryn Roberts, Roberts, and Jones, the solicitors acting for the defendants in the action Pritchard v. the Mayor, &c.—Dr. Grey Edwards opposed a proposal by Mr. J. E Roberts for its reference to the finance com- mittee, contending that those parties who had called for the luxury of the litigation ought to pay for it, and that not a penny should be chargeable upon the rates. The amount was said to be above £ 360. The bill was unique in its items, as in the proceedings in the Court of Appeal no less than £ 1^3 had be-n taxed off a total of £ 208.—Mr. Price said that the difficulty, as was pointed out at the time, arose through the proceedings being instituted against the late Mr. Meirhach Roberts, the legality of whose election was in dispute.—Alderman Platt remarked that, the Conservatives having paid their share, they objected to the ratepayers being called upon to pay charges which were excessive.—Mr. Dew and Colonel West strongly protested against the ratepayers being made re- sponsible for the payment of the amount taxed off the original bill of costs. —Mr. S. Evans said that those who now complained about the bills were the parties who had involved the borough in costly litigation by proceeding against "The Mayor and Burgesses" instead of against an individual.-It was finally agreed to refer the bills, together with another frcm Mr. H. Barber bearing upon the extension of the water intake, to the finance committee.

CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY COUNCILS. ANGLESEY. HOLYHEAD DISTRICT. A deputation of the, leading gentleman of the town of Holyhead waited upon Captain E. H. Verney, R.N., chairman of the Anglesey Quarter Sessions, on Wednesday morning, at the Station Hotel, asking him to allow his name to be put forward as one of the candidates for the Holy- head district on the County Council. Tha fol- lowing gentlemen formed the deputation :— Messrs. Thomas Owen, B.N., J.P., Hugh Edwards. J.P., Captain R. B. Cav, C. Beal, R.N, W. R. Johnson, R.N., Dr. E. T. Hughes, S. A. Smith (National Provincial Bank\ W. Guest (station- master), John Hughes (Castle House), Captain 0. H. Parry (Span;sh Consulate), John C. Wil- liams (Boston-street), Owen Hughes (Careg Domas), J. W. Ellis (Tea Mart), G. P. Griffith (Compton House), John Parry (Tyddvn Bach) PL H. Hnche* (London-road) S. B^nnion Wil-' Hams (Newry-etreei). R. Johnson was voted to the chair, and he explained the object of the meeting, in very suitable remarks.—Cap- tain Cay next proposed, in apologistic terms, that Captain Verney be invited to come forward as one of the candidates for Holyhead district on the County Couccil. Tht; motion was warmly seconded by Mr. Guest, was sup- ported by Mr. Thomas Owen, R.N., Mr. H. Edwards, and JMr. John Hughes (Castle House), and carried unanimously. Captain Verney rose and said that he was overwhelmed by the kind remarks made about him. He was very thankful to the gentleman who had proposed him, though they held different opinions. He had. as they all knew, been the Chairman of the Anglesey Quarter Sessions for the past 11 years, and he had, during that time, never alluded to politics, and if his name would be brought before the rate- payers he wished to appear not as the chvirman of the Quarter Sessions but as a person of ex- perience. No doubt the move of the Council, after it was elected, would be to erect new county buildings either at Holyhead or at Llan- gefni, and it was very important who the members of the first Council would be, "nd the first elective body was the most important. He was very pleased indeed to accept the invitation to come cut as a candidate for the Holyhead district, and he had not forgotten his former saying, when contesting the representation of the llolvhead division in Parliament, that he would do his best whether in Parliament or out of it ior Holyhead. It was decided to call a public meeting forth- with, so that Captain Verney may state his views to the ratepayers.

SUPPOSED CLUK. The Press Association states that the police have received information which not only establishes a clue to the perpetrator of the Dorset Street murder, but places the authorities in possession of an aceu- rate description of the person seen in company of the muidered woman shortly ben re her dealn. It ap- pears that a man, apparently of the labouring class,! with a military appearance, who knew the deceased woman, Monday evening lodged with the police a detailed account of the appearance of the incident which attracted his attention on the! morning of the murder, and although his story) has been sifted and the narrator cross-examined, he adheies to it rigidly. For this reason the poiioei believe the clue a new and important one. The in- j formant stated that on the morning of the 9th he i saw the deceased woman, Mary Jeanette Kelly, in! Commercial Sueet, fepitailields, in the vicinity of i where the murder was committed, in the company, ot a man of respectable appearance. The man was; about live feet IóLX inches in height, and thirty-four or live years oi age, with dark complexion and dark! moustache curled upwards at the ends. He wore &J long dark cout trimmed with astrachan, a white col Jar, with black necatie, in which was affixed a horse- shoe. He wore a pair of dark gaiters over button f boots, and displayed from his waistcoat a massive I gold chain. The highly respectable appear-! ance of the man was in such contrast to the appear- i ance of the woman that few could hare failed to! notice them at that hour of the morning. Thie! description, which agrees with that given of the person seen with the deceased by others, is much j fuller in detail than has yet been in the possession ot, the police, and the importance which they attach tc it may be estimated from the fact that immediately it was taken a special messenger was sent to thE headquarters of H Division, where Detectiref Aberline, Nairn, and Moore started an investigation.

Last week's wrecks amounted to fifty-one being I sixteen more than were reported the previous week. Thirty-one were foreign vessels. Nearly 300 casks of petroleum have been washed ashore near Bournemouth. They are supposed to be from the barque Nor, which recently foundered ofl St. Catherine's Point after being in collision.

[All Hights Reserved MEIKLEJOHN DETECTIVE EXPERIENCES, RELATED BY HIMSELF. (Continued from our last issue). GARROTTING. Although my readers must, during the last two or three weeks, have had a surfeit of de- scriptions of assault and battery, and of savage and brutal men, as cruel in their instincts and as reckless of life as wild beasts, I cannot close the subject of garrotting without some refer- ence to its aspect at the present day. It is generally believed that the application of the cat" in cases of this nature has acted as a deter- rent, and that the spread of education has mol- lified the ferocity of the modern thief, but I am inclined to think from the number of rob- beries with violence lately recorded in the news- papers that this creed is erroneous, and not justified by the facts. It may be the general hardness of the times that has driven those who live as best they can to deeds of desparation in the streets, the nume Xous avenues "for swindling and thieving in a quiet and gentlemanly manner, usually open when trade is brisk and money plentiful, being now closed. At any rate, whatever may be the cause, a very acute and general epidemic of garrotting seems to have set in, and it can do no harm to give greater publicity to the short notices of this most unpleasant type of robbery which are from day to day appeajiug in the police reports, or in short paragraphs in the public prints. I will select the Morning Adver- tiser and the Daily Telegraph of Monday, the 15th inst., as all will admit that I am very well qualified to hold a decided opinion in reference to the police report appearing in the former journal. On the other hand, the position of the victim referred to in the latter newspaper should be able to command an inquiry into the subject of violent assaults in quiet public streets for purposes of robbery, which I humbly submit is most urgently needed, the existing police sur- veillance and protection not being adequate or readily available.

ANOTHER EAST-END MURDER. ( A WOMAN CUT TO PIECES. j 1 In the forenoon ot Friday the inhabitants of thf East-eiid of London were again thrown into a state of consternation by the discovery that another hor- rible murder had been perpetrated in their midst, the revolting character of which far exceeded any of the the others which have been committed in the neighbourhood since August last year. The victim is again a woman, and her assailant committed his demoniacal work under the woman's own roof, in, it is believed, broad daylight. Not- withstanding the comparative publicity which must have attended his movements, the murderer; has managed to effect his escape without leaving I behind him trace more tangible than Le did sixi weeks ago, when Elizabeth Stride and Catherine! Eddowes were butchered in Berner Street and! Mitre Square respectively. Dorset Street, Spital-j fields, the scene ot the latest outrage, is the heart of; a somewhat notorious neighbourhood. It is com- posed largely of lodging houses,which are frequented by persons of the lowest station in life, amongst them being thieves and some of the most degraded i 'women. It was here that Annie Chapman, who! was murdered in Hanbury Street, on the 8th of | September, lived, the scene of the present crime i being a court directly opposite the house to which! that unfortunate woman was 1ll the habit of resort- ( ing. From Mitre Square, the scene of one of the! murders of September 30th, Hanbury Street is scarcely a stone's throw. The victim of Friday's! crime is a young woman named Mary Jane: Kelly, aged twenty-six, who had for some time lived with a man called Barnet, known also as I Danny. There are eight or ten small houses in the court, which is entered by a low archway and a nar- row passage from Dorset Street, and forms a cul- de-sac. A small general shop in Dorset Street ad- joins the entrance to the court, tenanted by Mrs. M'Carthy, who also owns the houses in the court. Kelly appears to have tenanted a top room in one of Mrs. McCarthy's houses. She had a little boy, aged about six or seven years, living with her, and latterly her circumstances had been so reduced that she is reported to have stated to a com- panion that she would make away with herself, as she could not bear to see her boy starving. There are conflicting statements as to when the woman was last seen alive, but that upon which most reliance appears to be placed is that of a young woman, an associate of the deceased, who states that at about h<df*p £ ist 10 o'clock on Thurs- day night she met the murdered woman at the corner of Dorset Street. Kelly informed her that she had no money, and it was then she said that if she could not get any she would never go out any more, but would do away with herself. Soon after they parted, and a man who is described as respectably dressed came up and spoke to the murdered woman Kelly and ottered her some money. The man accompanied the woman to her lodgings. Just before eleven Mrs. M'Carthy with her son went to pay her customary visit for the purpose of collecting the day's rent. Young McCarthy appears to have first sent a man named Bower to the house, which, though entered from the court, is really a part of No. 20, Dorset Street. Bower failed to ob- tain an answer to his knocking, and, looking through the window, saw to bis horror tbe woman lying on the bed in a state of nudity, horribly mutilated. He called M'Carthy, who also looked through the win- dow, and seeing that the body was cut about almost beyond recognition he hurried away with Bower and ran to Commercial Street Police Station, where they informed the police. Iuspector Beck and Sergeant Betham, 31 H, who were in charge of about forty constables who had been held in readiness in anticipation of a possible Socialist disturbance attend- ing the Lord Mayor's Show, at once proceeded to the scene of the murder, running to the house as quickly as they could. By this time the news had spread so rapidly that over a thousand persons were gathered in the street, and these were rapidly cleared away from the court and the side of Dorset Street adjoining, while the inspector entered the house. When an en- trance had been effected a terrible sight presented itself to the police officers. The body of the woman, perfectly nude, was stretched out on fcthe little I bed, the clothes on which, were saturated with blood. The unfortunate woman had been cut and hacked by the assassin's knife in a manner which was revol- ting beyond all description. The fiendish assailant was not content with taking the life of his victim by severing the head from the body, but he had exer- cised an infernal ingenuity in despoiling the corpse of its human semblance. Medical assistance was immediately summoned, and a description of the ¡ discovery telegraphed to all the metropolitan police- 8tations in the terse sentence: "The woman is eimply cut to pieces." Within a very short time II half a dozen cabs arrived in Dorset Street from Whitehall, conveying detectives from the Crim- inal Investigation Department among them being Inspectors Abberline and lleid. Never before had so many men been despatched to the scene of a murder from Whitehall. The scene in the narrow courtway leading to the hou^e was one ot extraordinary excitement. The 1 whole space was closely packed with detective officers, and quite a small almyof plain-clothes constables was located in Dorset Street within an astonishing short space of time. Dr. Phillips, the divisional surgeon of police, soon arrived, and was followed by Dr. Bond, of Westminster, divisional surgeon of the A Division, aud Dr. J. R Gabe, of Mecklejburgh Square; and two or three other surgeons. They made a pre- liminary examination of the body, and sent for a photographer, who took several photographs of the remains. Meanwhile the excitement in the neighbourhood was spreading, until the dwellers in the immediate locality became worked up into a periect frenpy. Women rushed about the streets telling their neighbours the news, and giving utterance in angry voices to expressions of raKe and indignation. Notwitn- standing the stolid reticence of all the police en- gaged at the scene, the main facts of the crime soon became common knowledge, aud, spreading far and wide, drew a great concourse of people to the thoroughfare from which the court runs. Great efforts were made at first to keep the side of Dorset Street clear in the vicinity of Miiler Court, in the expectation that bloodhounds might have to be "employed but though it is understood that a. telegram asking for them was sent to Sir Charles Warren, they were not sent. Barnet was sent for, and he at once identified the body as that of Kelly, or "Ginger," DS she was called owing to the colour of her hair. Barnet made a statement to the police, the purport of which did not come out. Sir Charles Warren did not visit the scene of the murder, but during the afternoon Colonel Monsell, chief constable of the district, and Chief-constables Howard and Roberts went down and inspected tLe interior of the house. All the constables and detectives available were distributed throughout the district, and a house-to-house visi- tation was commenced. All who knew the deceased woman were interrogated as to the persons last seen in her company, without, however, eliciting any immediate clue. At four o'clock in the afternoon the body was re- moved from Dorset Street to Shoreditch Mortuary, which stands at the back of Shoreditch Church. The mutilated remains were placed in a coarse coflin, which had apparently been used on many previous occasions for the conveyance of the dead, and which was partially covered with a coarse canvas cloth. The straps of the coflin were sealed. The cotiin was conveyed in a one-horse ordinary furniture van, and was escorted by several constables under Sergeant Betham. A large crowd followed. At the mortuary another throng was waiting to see the coflin transferred to the building. The photo- grapher who had been called in to photograph the room and the body removed his camera! from the premises at half-past four, and shortly' afterwards a detective oflicer carried from the house a pail, with which he left in a four-wheel cab. The pail was covered with a newspaper, and was stated to contain portions of the woman's body. It was taken to the hou>e of Dr Phillips, 2, Spital Square. The windows of the room where the crime was com- mitted were boarded up and a padlock put on the door. The streets were patrolled by the police all the evening, and no one was allowed t* i loiter near the place. At night the neighbour- hood was a scene of restless excitement and activity, the streets being filled with thousands of idlers, attracted doubtless by morbid curiosity, j
