OFFENCES.

Aurnim MURDER Or A !WIZ CLiati.—On Thurs-
day morning considerable excitement was created in
Aklpte, by a rumour that • young gentleman, • clerk
In the City Bank, had been found murdered in the river.
It appears that since the night of the 3rd September,
Mr. Hugh Dolley Morrie, aged about 22 years, was
mlaiLit and throufbout the metropolis, walls were
p ed with deecriptions of him, and the police had
made inquiries attar him in every direction. He could
nowhere be found. On Wedociday, however, bin body
was diaoovered doeting in the Thames, off the St.
Katherine's Docks. It was removed to the AIM*,
decd-bouse, and upon examination marks ill-usage
were found upon the face and body. There was DO
money or other property foundoe him, but the deceased
mu stated to ham bowl in menparatively good einem.
Maness, and not to have been ie the least likely to have
committed self-destruotion. It bee been asesetained
that at midnight on Thursday, the 3rd inst., lb. Morris
was in Arthur-street. Hart, seer Loodco-bvidge, talking
to a female, and be was never seen alive after. He had
been just previously standing with • man near the IMMO
spot, but whether the woman and the man were con.
nested is not precisely known. Then appears to be no
doubt that the deceased was robbed, and the fact of in-
juries being found on the facie and head would iodicate
that he was ribbed with violence. Such an outrage
could hardly have taken plane, even at midnight, in PO
open a spot, and therefore the inference is that a female
must have enticed him down the steps to the river site,
where the crime might have been accomplished without
observation. Who the female was has not as yet been
aseertained.
