By Eleotric Telegraph. — Copyright. (per press ASSOCIATION.) LOxNDOA', Augui»t 8. Later news of the Maybrick caseshows that although Mr Justice Stephens' summing up was favourable on the first portion, the conclusion was decidedly adverse. The feeling is so strong in Liverpool that it is deemed advisable to afford MrJustice Stephens police protection. He is now guarded by 150 police. fMrs Maybrick attributes the verdict to the Judge's strictures on her infidelity. The petitions in favour- of a reprieve are extensively signed, and includes the signatures of the leading barri* tors and merchants of Liverpool. In the petition forwarded to the House of Commons, the petitioners made a strong point of the divergence of the medical evidence. Mr Matthews stated in the House of Commons, that the petitions would receive full consideration. He remarked upon the outrage to Mr Justice Stephens that it was un-English to mob a Judge for doing his duty. This remark was loudly cheered.
