THE KENT ROAD MURDER.
4~'lt is asserted that Miss Kent -will be Juried in London instead of Wiltshire, the yenue being changed under the Palmer Act on account of local prepossessions. It is rumoured that criminal proceedings in respect of this crime are about to be instituted against some persons other than the prisoner, /klr. Woods, solicitor to the Key. A. D. Wagner, writes to a contemporary as follows ; — "It is quite true that Miss Kent received a sum of money on her coming of age in the early part of the present year. A considerable portion of this sum, I am informed by Mr. Wagner, she wished to Apply towards th« charities of St. Mary's Hospital, but he declined to receive it. On the evening of th« day before Miss Kent left Brighton a sum of between £700 and £800 was found in one of the alms-boxes of St. Paul's Church, and Mr. Wagner has since ascertained that it was placed there (though without his knowledge) by Mis 9 Kent. This money is now in the London and County Bank, and will be retained only uu til its proper application shall have been determined by Sir George G rey ."—Home News.
