AT IIerVNIIOROUGH.—On Monday evening
a murder was committed in the High-street, Queen.
borough, at about half-past it o'clock. The facts aiipear
to be these : A young Weetell named Emma Coppinga,
daughter of • fano labourer working for Mr. F. Leese,
was in the service of Mr. Stevens, a clerk in the Cap.
taiti-Superintendent'a offices, Sheerness. She VMS sent
for the *supper beer at about 8 o'clock ; not returning in
time search was smote for lier. The unfortunate girl
was found lying on the pavement opposite the Market-
It distance of about 'Ain yards from the Ship Inn.
Her pitcher of porter was handing on the pavement
near her. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. She was
quite dead. Near her a razor mid a man's cap were
found ; the razor was identified by a Weil at whose
house a labourer named Frederick Prentice had been
lodging. The cap wax also indentified as belonging to
the same man. Mr. John Austin, constable of Queen-
borough, • hately, with some of the Kent constabu-
lary, c ~,,, inenced searching the borough arel the fields
around. At about midnight • constable who was on
ditty MI the highroad between Queenhorough and Sheer-
-li,, saw a man pass I • , walking very. quickly towards
sheeniess, having a coloured handkerchief tied round
his bead ; he slid hill lantern eked° off, and threw his
light direct in the man's fate. The man, in • very con-
fii.eil manner, said, " Are you a policeman The
Lily was, " I am." "Then," said Froitice, " I lel
your prisoner—in she dead The prisoner was then
taken to the police-station at Sheerness to await no
examination before the Mayor of Queen-'borough. Mr.
L. S. Magnus. It appears the girl was 16 years of age.
The prisoner hail for come time past been endeavouring
to induce the girl to accept hie attentions, which she Ilad
firmly Termed. This appears to have been the cause of
the prisoner's deciding on murdering her. The razor
with winch the deed had been done appears to have been
carried by the prisoner since Sunday week.
