The prisoner refused to give any aceonct and was committed for re-examina tion on Wednesday next. Mali MAI 1V ONFOR MU In F.—On Wednesday Ilight, at most barbarous manioc was committed at a lone house near Shab biugton 1t on Burks, a few miles from Thome, in this county. ,Thos. Reason, who was committed in December last to o u r gaol for sheep-stealing, but &seliarged at our assizes for want of evidence, called at Mrs. Yorke's, an r Wetly WittOW lady, who was attended he o female about tweniyahree yeats of age, a dis tort relation, about seven o'cloek in the evening. Ilc entered into conversation with Mrs. Yorke on various subjects, and at Icagth said that he wanted money, and hoped she would fat nisi) bin with same. She said she (mold not give hint any. Ile then drew a large clasped knife, .cad immecliwely :marked her, and cut her 'Moat at first slightly . . in coasequence of her residence. The girl dA every thing she possibly could to prevent leis nefa rious design, and ut length succeeded in taking the knias from him; but unfortunately he espied a large knife in the room, w hi c h was used far ki;;hog pigs ; this he seized, anal w ith it al most separated Mrs. Vorke's head from her body, in COW qilence of which she instantly died. The villain also struck Mrs. Yorke several tunes over the head with a wooden liar dur ing the contest, so that her skull N% ati fractured. He then at tacked the young and cut her throat in two places, and wounded her securely iu the head with the bar. Each cut in her throat is more than five inches in length, lint fortunately did not sever the w indripe. Her skull is bate in many piace,. by the viol( nee of the blows from the bar, anal she was left, as Reason supposed, completely dead. lie then went rap stairs to rifle the rooms, well knowing alt:.re the property was kept. In the mean time the girl recovered her senses, and escaped from the house to Mr. Griffin's, on Oakly-common, where she made known the lousiness. She fainted several iinWSllll the way, mid with great difficulty arrived there by an unfrequented path, in order to avoid the possibility of Reason's overtaking her. As soon as she got into the house she again fainted, and on her re covering her senses she related the horrid tale, and several vrsons were got together. They proceeded to the house, here they toned Mrs. Yorke in the situation we have described. Iu consequence of the information of the girl, titer then went to tin house of Reason's father, which is about hale a mile from Mrs. Yorke's, anal inquired for him. The father said, he did nut know where he was; but they made strict search forint'', mid at length found him up the chimney. They immediately took him into custody, and his is now coidined rat Oakley, until the Coroner's Impiest is taken on Mrs. Yorke's body.-- Mr. King, surgeon, of Mill, was sent for to attend the girl (Elizabeth Hawes), who hinnediately sent for Mr. Hitching% of Oxford, alto did every thing that could he dome for her. Slo e. now in a very dangerous state, although hopes are entertained of her recovery. Reason has since declared, that two other peanut were roncerned with Lim in the moonier, who are in , custody ; but from the evidence of the gin I, trod tither circum stances, this does not appear at all probable.
