The deceased was without a jacket or hat, and had nothing in his pockets but a comb, a clasp knife, and a pipe tube. He was a native of Amster dam, about fifty years of age, and a seafaring man ; awl it appear leg by the evidence adduced that be recei.ted a considerable sum of money in Doctors' Commons, on Saturday last, it is believed he was robbed of the same, and afterwards murdered.—The Jury re turned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons un known. • • An old man, who vends fruit from a barrow, in the neighbourhood of Meard's-court, was charged with being accessary to a robbery, attended by cherinus circumstances.
