The grounds taken are that the indictments on which Bell was guilty were not good, having been al lowed to lapse and the cases to drop from the calendar. Tills was due to a murder charge which was hanging over the prisoner, on which it was expected ta evcure conviction. The prosecution was disappointed in this, and then charges of rohlery wore taken up and pressed. It is behoved among lawyers that the conviction of Bell en a charge of murder would be extremely difficult, so that if the technical point is sustained the footpad will be at liberty in the near future.
