The decrease most perceptible in cotton manufactures , e°11 " , j'arn, linen me.nnfaatureo, and woollen e nd Worsted yarns; there is an increase, however, 41 , Machinery, silk manufactures, British spirits , she ep and lamb's wool, and woollen manufactures. The importations of the principal articles were kaaller as regards raw cotton, sheep and lamb's ltoo , flax, and wheat; but there is an increase in il ° I 1 r) unrefined sugar, tea, tobacco, and wine. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the 4131 °Mit of tonnage employed in the foreign trade °f the United Kingdom, for the three months, of z 0 1, 553 for the entries inwards, and of 52 , 831 tons f or the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade, f or the three months, 123,682 tons less were em s,"Ted than in the corresponding period of 1860 for the entries inwards, and for the clearances out wards there was a decrease of 36,635 tons compared Vi th the like period of last year. u very little alteration has occurred in the Consol :terket to-day, dealings having taken place at 91 4 for money, and 918 92 for the account. The e xpectation of unfavourable news from America creates depression. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 908 ; Bank Stock is 231 and : 33 ; India Loan 1011 2 ; and Exchequer Bills are 4 itt, at 41/. to is. dis.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been I nactive; prices, however, have shown rather more o ., 4 ntness. Bristol and Exeter, Great Northerns, ~u r eat Westerns, and Midlands, have improved ss. ; Easterns, 10s. ; and North Eastern (Ber /lick), 155.; but London and North Westerns have geeliaed ss.

The returns for the larger towns are not all made up. It appears, however, that the population of Bury St. Edmund's has declined from 1 3 )902 in 1851 to 13,311 in 1861, while the population of Colchester has advanced from 19,443 in 1851 to 2 ,, ,574 in 1 861 ; the population of Sudbury from 6,043 in 1851 to 6 ,879 in 1861; and the population of Lowestoft from 6,650 In 1851 to 9,407 in 1861. The population of Norwich will, it is expected, be returned at about 75,000. THE SHEDDEN CASE.—Yesterday morning Miss Shedden moved, in the Probate Court, for a new trial, on the Found of surprise, fraud, falsehood, and perjury.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-JUDGMENT - HALLEY V. HAMMERSLEY. The question raised was, whether the moveables and fixed machinery uses in the working of silk mills in the county of Stafford came under a mortgage security for £4,500 with future additions up to £6,000. The Master of the Rolls held that the mortgage deeds included the moveable machinery only. The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment on the ap peal, was of opinion that the mortgage security included both the moveable and fined machinery used in working these silk mills. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal without costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT-SALTMAISH V. BARRETT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said, this' question arises on the construction of the will of the late William Saltmarsh, and in_ the first instance a question arises under the statute of Lord St. Leonards, as to what the effect of the statute is where the whole or a part of the residuary estate is disposed of. His Honour, in considering the terms of the will, said that the principal question was, whether the executors took as trustees or as executors beneficially. His Honour was of opinion that the executors took as trustees, and not as executors, from the fact that the tes tal or bequeathed to them nineteen guineas for their trouble, and declared that they were not liable for any loss arising from their intromissions, but only for wilful neglect or wilful mismanagement. His Honour declared accord • ingly, and made the ordinary administrative decree, with costs. FOSTER V. ROBERTS. This cause came on to be mentioned on one point. The question raised was whether a policy of insurance should be delivered up without repayment of the premiums. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the policy should not be delivered up without payment of £330 ; that there was a lieu upon it for that amount—the principle was fixed in the case of Small and Miller (Lord Huntingtower, 23, Bevon's Reports) ; that the holder was not entitled to recover the premiums, as these were paid for his own security and convenience. His Honour thought that no account of the premiums ought to be taken, and that the policy should be delivered up on payment of £330 with interest. No costs on either side. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Esther Roberts, a young woman, was charged with being in possession of a watch and chain, of the value of £5, under the following circumstances : The case was partly heard on the previous day, but for reasonsthat will be seen below was not even publicity to. Mr. Edward Mozley, of Windmill-street, inlayer of buhl, said that on the evening of the 15th he was called up from his workshop, where he had left his watch and chain safe, and kept in conversation for about three minutes by a young man named Desrosque, the prisoner's " young man," and on returning to the workshop he found a few minutes afterwards that his watch and chain were gone. He after wards traced them a pawnbroker's. Sarah Southern, of 17, Union-street, theprisoner's land lady, said that on the evening of the 15th the prisoner showed her a watch, and said that it was her " young man's," and that, as she wanted money, she would pleige Thomas Allacarthy, assistant to Mr. Lee, pawnbroker, St. Mary's-place, Hampstead-road, said the prisoner pledged the watch for £2 on tha 16th, saying that it was her young man's. The prisoner said that she mid it was her " young fi lend's," meaning a female named Thompson, who lived at 24, Frederick-street. • Stephens, 71 E, said the prisoner told him the same thing, but he could find no 24, Frederick-street. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if Desresque was her young man ? - Prisoner said he was, upon which Desresque, who was standing at the door of the court, was brought up and placed in the dock. The whole of the evidence being read over to him, Mr. Mosley said he had heard that the male prisoner had a key that fitted the lock of his workshop. Mr. Yardley said if that could be ascertained it would be important. Desresque, who evidently seemed confused at the posi ion be was in, said he had no key at all. Mr. Yardley then remanded the prisoners. This morning, Wm. Lewis, another lad, :and who with Desresque is also by trade a bricklayer, living in Colville place, Tottenham-court-road, who was also charged with being concerned in the robbery, was brought up there being reason to suppose that he slipped down into the workshop and took the watch while the prosecutor was engaged in conversation with Desresque. Two witnesses, named Henry Watts and Walter John Crocker, deposed to seeing him (Lewis) run away from the direction of the prosecutor's workshop on the svening of the 15th, about the time the prosecutor missed his watch. Mr. Yardley acid 3.0 n T nmial nntl all :he prisoners would be brought up on Monday next. THAMES. THE LAW OF BIGKMY.—George Smith, described as a carman, and aged 26, of No. 18, Finch-street ; WhiSechapel, was brought before Mr. Selfo charged with feloniously in termarrying with Mary Ann Brown on the sth of February last, at Whitechapel parish Church, his first wife, Mary Ann Smith, to whom he was married at St. James's Church, Shoreditch, in April 1869, being then and now alive. The first wife passed forward to give evidence against her hus band, but Mr. Selfe said, although she could be the very best witness of her marriage, the law did not permit him to take her evidence. He asked for the second wife, who was really no wife in law. Mariah Harvey, a police constable, No. 174 H, who pro duced the certificates of both marriages, said the second wife, who had been usurping the rights and privileges of the first, ran away directly the prisoner was taken into custody. Catherine Smith, the prisoner's mother, was then put into the witness box, and on being sworn, relapsed into a happy state of forgetfulness, although she was present when her son was joined in the hol/ bonds of matrimony, and signed the register-book. She said her son was married. Mr. Selfe—And you were present, and saw him married to his first wife. Witness—l was at the church. Mr. Selfe—And who was Mr. Cleland ? Witness—A strange man — a ca b m an. I believe they called him out of the street. Mr. Selfe—A strange thing altogether; now, tell me all about it. You signed the register.book Witness—l don't know, lam ewe. Mr. Selfe—Now, let me know the history of this. Witness (reluctantly)—They were married. Five days afterwards my son went to sea. Ikept his wife six weeks. She went on such bad..games I wis obliged to interfere. Her first husband's child, her ( blighter, came to me and said her mother was out all night with a gentleman. Mr. Selfe—No, he could not hav e been a gentleman, or he would not have kept anoth er van ' s wife out all night. I cannot punish your son's Wife for adultery. You must go to Sir Cresswell Cresswell'a court for that. Harvey said he had no further evidence: Mr. Selfe—Have you been to Mlitechapel Church P The marriage there is so recent that no doubt the clerk will be able to identify the prisoner. Harvey said the prisoner was only given into his custody this morning, and he had not time to produce the necessary evidence. Police .sergeant Egerton, rt IL here said he could obtain the evidence of the sexton and clerk of Whitechapel. The clerk to Mr. Edwin, a respectable solicitor in New ington-causeway, said the prisoner had been charged with bigamy at the Southwark police-court and dismissed. Mr. Selfe said he must discharge the prisoner again, be cause there was no evidence against him. Tho law sup posed the second wife to be the wronged person, and she was not here. lie had his suspicions of the first wife, who had been carrying en her games, as they were called. A DISCOURSE UPON MAGIC. —John Macdonald, a most notorious thief, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a silver watch from John Fish, a sailor. The prosecutor stited that a few evenings since he was in a crowd at the corner of Philpot-street, Commercial magic and performing magical tricks wh en h e f o und his Commercial road, o t li l k i set magic ening t f o ro a m manhiswwahisotcwoaats discoursing upon pocket. He turned round, and saw the prisoner on his right hand side with his wa tch grasped tightly in his hand, but no t se vered from the chain. His wife seized the prisoner and said this is the thief. Mr. Selfe—And did you lose your watch ? Fish—No, sir. It was secured to a silver chain, and the prisoner could not cut it. It was dragged from my pocket. Mrs. Fish confirmed her husband's statement. A police-constable said the prisoner was a well-known and active thief, and belonged to the lieate-street gang is Spitalfields. Mr. Selfe—Keate-street again. How many thieves are there in Keate-street ? The policeman—l don't know, sir; plenty. satsreientuocent, he never stole the gang is inexhaustible. d now, he would go before a jury you are committed for trial. watch; m Th r r e . . s S p he r e prisoner e e o w in c e vu T r saidh e d r e y n Kowt he plead was FATAL SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday a boy was sent upon a scaffold in Cumberland-street, Pimlico, and on reaching the top he by some means missed his footing, and had a fearful fall from the scaffold to the pavement be neath.

Much of the time was occupied with calling over for the Two Thousand Guineas. The speculation was nearly confined to Klarikoff and Imaus, the former finishing at 5 to 2 taken, the latter 100 to 7; Kettledrum, Overton, and Proceptress were each supported, but not to any great amount; Diophantus, who was backed late last night at 10 to 1, and so proceeded in his downward ccurse, until 200 to 3 was laid against him, and then without any outlay of money 40 to 1 was the highest offer. Elborus had a likle support at 00 to 1, and received his quietus by 1,000 to 10 being offered. It is a fair inference that something will run for this race, but, judging from the betting here, the field should be a very small one.

The conditions of the race referred to exclude horses engaged in the Two Thou sand Guineas, One Thousand Guineas, or Newmarket Stakes, -and as Starlight was engaged in the last named, the race has been officially awarded to Ellerton, who came in second.

On Tuesday the races commenced with the Trial Slakes, which fell to the lot of the French party with the aid of Palaiseau. There were only 11 competitors for the Doncaster Handicap, the result ending in a dead heat be- tween The Monk and Ipswich. For the deciding heat The Monk was made the favourite, and won easily by a couple of lengths. The Hopeful Stakes was contested by a field of ton, the well-bred Imperatrice (sister to Impe rieuse) winning cleverly by a neck from the good looking Jung Frau, and a fair field. The result of this race caused a large outlay to be made on Kettledrum, which brought him to the position of first favourite for the Two Thousand, as little as 9 to 2 being taken about Colonel Towneley's horse. General Hesse, my selected for the Londesborough Plate, just managed to pull through by a head from Lop catcher, who is now evidently getting stale. Whitewell se cured the Stand Plate, making the second victory for Oates's stable. Only two of the stakes on the second day created the slightest interest. Jung Frau, who had an allowance of 51b., won the Betting Room Stakes cleverly by a neck, and Cosmopolite obtained an easy victory over Lopcatcher in the Chesterfield Plate. The Hurdle Handicap did not produce a race, and Mr. Saxon's Vixen attempted to walk over, but she refused at almost every hurdle. The last seen of her was in the middle of a field with her forefeet on a hurdle, and half a dozen stout ploughmen at her back trying to lift her over, but whether they succeeded remains a mystery to me, and I suppose the judge also, as she had not passed the chair up to the time of our going to press. The backers of Foretop no doubt will get back their money. There are no fewer than 48 races set for decison at the Newmarket Spring Meeting, which commences on Monday, and extends over Friday. On Monday the only events likely to produce specula tion have yet to close. the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes for four yr-olds will go to Thormanby, The 50 Sus Bretby Course to Prudence or Lady Blanche. The 100 Sovs to Queen of the Vale or Copernicus. THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES, amp,. (the latter. allowed 51b)., D.M., have 54 subscribers, at 100 soya each, h ft, the se cond saving its stake ; oonsequently, between three and four thousand pounds will represent the stake. The field will number fifteen or sixteen, selected from the following : Probable Riders. Anthem, by Surplice out of Concertina J. Osborne Antwerp, by Flying Dutchman out of Bohemienne Conjuror, by The Little Known at of Parthenope W. Boyce Copernicus, by Newminster out o Galaxy Diophantus, by Orlando out of Evation A. French Elborus, by Orlando out of Muscovite's dam Gardener, by The Cure out of Gaiety.. Challon er Janus, by King Tom out of Orestes' dam Wells Kettledrum, by Rataplan out of Hybla J. Snowden Klarikoff, by De Clare out of Wiasma G. Fordham Knight of the Thistle, by Knight of St George out of Ave Charlton Neighbour, by Nabob out of Princess A. Edwards Overton, by Teddington out of lone L. Snowden Parasite, by Rataplan out of Misletoe Preceptress, by Chatham out of Oxonian's _ _ darn Russley, by Oulston out of Phemy Struggler, by Teddington out of Alicia -- Sweet Hawthorn, by Sweetmeat out of Alice Hawthorn C by West Australian out of Clarissa Deucalion, by Toltigeur out of Themis Imaus, by Newminster out of Himalaya Copernicus has appeared in public five times, having won thrice; his defeats were, fourth to Diophantus at Ascot, and running Touch-me-Not to a head for the July Stakes at Newmarket, the same distance separating him from the third (Imaus) and the fourth (Cynic), with a good field behind them. This performance proved that he possessed great speGd, though I doubt his being equal to several he wilfliave to meet in this race. ' Deucalion is a dark horse, and has been backed occasion ally at long odds for the Derby. Looking at his breed, he ought to possess some racing points, and sheuld he come into the market supported by the Stable, he will be worth remembrance. Preceptress, by Chatham, out of Oxonian's dam, came out unprepared at (loodwood, and ran third to Vergiss- mein-Nicht and Knight of St. Patrick ; then she had a long rest, and having done but little work, the Stable were somewhat astonished at her defeat of Russley during the Newmarket Second October Meeting, so that they book her a rare "good thing" for this event. In this idea I entirely concur, as Russloy ran through a lot of horses the other day, and Ebony having recently shown the Stable to be in form, we shall be astonished if the mare does not succeed in obtaining a " place," for there is no better-looking animal than this daughter of Chatham in the Two Thousand, while her straightforward owner and party are very confident. Russley and Sweet Hawthorn belong to MT. Merry, the fortunate owner of Dundee, the present, premier for the Derby, and whose position for that race will be materially influenced by the performance of his horses in this race. Russley appeared in the ra c i ng arena l as t year on e i g h t occasions, thrice as victor, and five times as a loser ; and though defeated, never disgraced, always getting a place among good horses. According to public form Diophantus 'ought to beat him, if improved in the same ratio, - as Russ ley conceded 51bs more to him in their first meeting at Goodwood, when he was second, but on the next occasion Russley carried 21bs.more, and was third to hini, Parasite being second, a length separating the three. His running this year shows a decided improvement, as he beat a field of good horses at the Newmarket Craven, several of his com petitors afterwards proving winners, and I shall not be at all surprised to see him beat his stable companion, Sweet Hawthorn, which was till the last day or two first favourite 2 but has now receded a few points. 3 Knight of St. Patrick and Knight of the Thistle both 3 2 belong to the same owner (Lord Exeter). The latter is 4 the best, and ought to run well. Kiarikoff belongs to Mr. Bowes , who carried off this stake with Cotherstone and West Australian, and bids fair to make free with the present one. He has been out four times, proving victorious in three, his only defeat being by Folkestone, for the Newmarket Triennial, Knight of St. Patrick third. His best performance was for the Criterion, when he beat Barb Pigeon and Folkestone (Gibs extra) in a cantor, afterwards beating Asteroid by a head at the same meeting for the Glasgow Stakes. He is a horse evi dently fitted for staying, and is suited to the course. It is now four months since I directed attention to this son of De Clare. He has been highly tried, and will be under the guidance of Fordham. From the firmness with which he is now supported in the market, I hold him to be the most dangerous horse in the race. Elborus is a new outsider, only appearing in the market the Wit day or tWO, Rio PIY PU01114140 WM f9r A gimp stakes at the Newmarket Houghton, won by Sweet Hach• thorn by two lengths, Elborus second, and Imaus third. Overton, in the same stable as Copernicus, I have no very high opinion d, but I may be mistaken in him. Ho only appeared twice, and ran nowhere, still, that is no criterion to go by, as he may not have been wanted. Gardener belongs to a thorough sportsman, and as he is bred to stay as well as -for speed, coupled :with his having on-two occasions shown great racing qualities, I shall not be surprised to see him run to the front if he starts. Diophantus, Walloon, Neighbour, and Imaus are the representatives of Lord Stamford. From certain move ments in the market, Diopharitus is likely to be an ab sentee. Imaus and Walloon are both suited for this course, and whichever his lordship entrusts will be found in the front rank at the finish. Kettledrum is thought highly of by his partisans in the north ; he has run three times, his first race being at York August for the Biennial, when he defeated Dictator by a head, Minnie (third) l , and Russley (fourth) ; the next day at the same meeting, and same distance, he suffered defeat by Gardener and Russlcy, the latter turning the tables on him for his previous day's beating ; his last race was for the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, Walloon defeating hint by a head, Vaga third. His stable companion (Yorkminster) running Russlcy to a heal in the Biennial at the late Newmarket Craven, has infused fresh confidence in his success, and he now holds a prominent position in the betting. Those who take liberties with this son of Rataplan may have occasion to repent it when the numbers are put up on the telegraph. Janus made his debut at the Newmarket Craven, being successful in two out of his three contests, though the animals he defeated were moderate. He will be steered by Wells, and may obtain a situation. Antwerp possesses fine speed, and, as on several occasions last year, he failed in staying qualities, I will not trust him over this severe course, although John Day's horses are always dangerous in this race. I have now gone through the performances of the prin cipal horses likely to take:"part in the great event of Tues. , day, and still clinging to the opinion that I expressed iu he Sun four months ago, I anticipate the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas of 1861 will be KLARIROFF, his immediate followers being RUSSLEY and ImAus. In the Handicap Plate A.F., Ariadne and Zodiac appear best in. Walloon and Bab-at-the-Bowater will win their respec tive engagements. There are no races on Wednesday of any importance. On Thursday there are nine items, including the One Thousand and the Newmarket Two-year-old Plate. The field for the One Thousand will be made up from the fol - lowing Probable Riders. Bas Bleu, by Stockwell out of Vexation Barbatus, f by, out of Flutter Aldcroft. Brown Duchess, by the Flying Dutchman —Espoir Fairwater, by Loupgarou out of Bloomer Charlton. Juno, by Teddington out of Inheritress ----- Lady Macdonald, by Touchstone out of Fair Helen Nativity, by Orlando out of Sister to Filius J. Geater. Nemesis, by Newminster out of Varsoviana. Normkn. Pardalote, by Stockwell out of Geelong A. French. 'receptress, by Chatham out of Governess G. Foram, * Queen of the Vale, by King Tom out of Agnes The Roe, by Wild Dayrell out of Chamois A. Day. Sweet Hawthorn, by Sweetmeat Alice Hawthorn .. Custance. Vega, by Stockwell out of Mendicant Wells. Without going through the performances of those likely to take part in the race, I would merely state that Brown Duchess, Queen of the Vale, and Preceptress are the beat public performers. If Baron Rothschild's filly had retained any of the form she showed last year at Ascot I would un doubtedly hava given her the preference ; but believing she has lost her two-year-old form, I anticipate seeing BROWN DUCHESS returned as the winner of the One Thousand ; her imme diate followers being PREcurruEss and VAGA. The Newmarket Plate ha; an entry of 81; but unless the dark division is able to produce a flyer, Sir Joseph Hawley will have no difficulty in disposing of the rest of the field with Duke Rollo. The rest of the meeting will be occupied with sweepstakes and plates yet to be entered for. A FRESH MAN. London, April 27, 1861. MYSTERIOUS DE _4271 OF A FEMALE BY PRUSSIG ACID. Yesterday an adjourned inquiry was proceeded with before Mr. Bedford and a respectable jury, at the old King's Head, Ranelagh-street, Pimlico, re specting the death of Mrs. Susan Berridge, aged 35, the - wife of a tobacconist, residing at No. 3, Upper Eaton-street, and which has been discovered to have been the effect of prussic acid. The first investigation was entered into on Fri day last, when the evidence went to show that on the day previous about one o'clock in the morning, the deceased was found dead by her husband on the floor of her bedroom, by the side of the bed. Mr. Hatchard, surgeon, in business at the next door, was sent for, who was of opinion that she had taken prussic acid:but no phial or oup could be found which had contained that poison. The coroner, in consequence, adjourned the inquiry, and directed that a post mortem examination should be made of the body, and that the contents of the stomach should be forwarded to Mr. Rogers, chemical lec turer at St. George's Hospital, for analysation. Yesterday at the adjourned inquiry that gentle man stated that the appearances in the stomach proved that a considerable.quantity of prussic acid had been taken by the deceased, which was also further evident from the smell of the contents of the stomach. _ _ Further evidence was then given to discover the state of the deceased's mind, and whether at any time she had meditated self-destruction. The sister-in-law of the deceased was examined, who stated that about five months ago she told her that she (deceased) was in the family-way, and that she (deceased) - had subsequently observed that she would never give birth to another child. (She has left two young children.) Turner, the summoning officer, said that he liad been to several chemists to ascertain if deceased had bought prussic acid, and was told at each place it was never sold to females. The Coroner remarked that he knew such to be the fact. The inquiry was adjourned till Wednesday next, to give time to find the phial that contained the poison. THE ROAD HILL MYSTERY. (From the Bath Chronicle.) As our readers are aware, a sale of the effects of Road Hill House has been announced, and the pre mises were opened to view to holders of catalogues on Saturday last. Up to Monday sight about 500 were sold, and the purchasers visited the premises, the scene of the murder. As might have been an ticipated, people came from far and near to inspect the house to which such a terrible and world-wide mystery is attached. Upon entering the house the first question almost that was asked was, " Where is the nursery ?" and much disappointment was felt at not seeing the murdered child's cot; as it was, every part of the room was minutely examined, as well as the adjoining apartments, and the fact of the murderer or murderess achieving his or her fiendish designs, notwithstanding the close conti guity of the rooms favouring the presumption that they would have been discovered, was the theme of general comment and astonishment. So great was the crush to this ill-fated apartment, the nursery, that a policeman was compelled to be stationed on duty there during the whole time of view, and Mr. Superintendent Foley, in compliance with general request, was continually explaining the position of the nurse's bed and the murdered child's cot to the groups of eager inquirers who thronged the rooms. This gave rise to a criticism of the various theories propounded andM r. lnspector w hic ho r ,mets n t with he universal subject, condemnation. On reaching the stable there lay asleep in its box closet was the dog that roamed at lar g e on the fatal ni g ht, a snieixenttsp re ached , e espectator e and d of examinedthe fearfulwdieteh n t edi. The e e The indelible stain up on the floor, caused b y the outpour ing of the life-blood of the innocent , was still a n p l a i n ly observable, although mildewed by time ; and as hundreds of eyes gazed in silent horror u pon it, it seemed to awaken feelings that have recently l a in dormant, and a fervent ejaculation burst from m any lips, " Would to God the murderer could be a t y aroundrpaths, red b y di s covered, and the blood of this child avenged." Every part of the house and grounds was inspected, and the general exclamation, as the spectators ta hn edm, viewedthreadedwa was, , t h , e thel vhri garden aeth a l andscape walks beau ti f beautiful lstretching s and pot sh t o r ü b b e b om e u r such a foul crime !" So great was the desire on the part of some to obtain a relic of the scene, that although a body of Wiltshire and nierse police, under the immediate direction of oishire Mr. Super intendent Foley and Inspector Pitney , were posted at points of the premises, of Br . adford trees in the grounds surroundi ng in order to furnish a me mentodismantled by degrees, several of the fact, it of wasth the stated d fu b l y crime . thethe house . were One individual, ofto surreptitiously obtain e fl p o t o it r io o u f sly theeloset, p a o u l d ic - e t ' ak w e -en it t ic s l o ok a portion of the with 1 1 1n 1 to London. farirtinagigs Account Accounts from Granville state t h a t e fisheryn o that coast has b een very productive this seasom fin' boat men have earned on an a v er age " 2 5L to 61. a day hile at sea.
