The investigation of the two mysterious murders, at Stepney and

Road, continues, but with a remarkable contrast in point of success. In the Stepney ease the police have been supplied with a clue by one Mullins, formerly a sergeant in the Metropolitan pollee. Mullins made a communication with the intention of bringing home the guilt to another, but in a mode which is re- markably suggestive of his own complicity. At Road no further clue is found, E.nd a mode of investigation is there adopted which even if successful in the detection of the criminals,—for opinions entitled to weight believe in a plurality of murderers,—fails to satisfy public justice. We have observed upon this latter view in a separate paper.
