September 19, 1883.
Sir: Michael or Patrick O’Donnell, the prisoner now in my custody under remand from Bow street police court, charged with the murder of J. Carey, states that he is an American citizen, and has papers in the hands of the metropolitan police to prove his citizenship.
He is most anxious to have a solicitor appointed to undertake his defense, and as he (the prisoner) is unable to write, he has asked me to inform you of the above, and request you to instruct some one to defend him. The prisoner has no friends in England.
I have, &c.,
W. H. RUSSELL,
Deputy Govenor in charge.
