THE ROAD MURBER CASE.

On the 2Ist July, at Salisbury, Miss Constance
Kent pleaded guilty in open court to the murdez
of ber half-brother Francis, four years ago,’
Aiter the plea of guilty had been recorded, Mr. }
Coleride, who appeared for the prisoner, said— |
“ Betore your lordship passes sentence, I desire to |
say two things — first, solemnly, in the presence
of Almighty God, the prisoner wishes me to say
that the guilt is hers alone, and that ber father
and others who have so lung suffered most unjust
and cruel suspicion are wholly and absolutely
ianoeent; and secondly, that she was not driven
to this act by unkind treatment at home, as she
met with nothing there but tender and forbearing |
love.” Mr. Justice Willies then assumed the |
black cap and passed sentence of death. His |
Lordship, in duing so, said: ** Whether her Ma-

change would be regarded as an alarming de- jesty, with whom alone rests the prerogative of |
