BRUTAL MURDER.

A shocking murder has been ci ontui ad at Elthain
Kent, by a man named Hunt., a native of
Crewkerne, aged 31, residing at I. Ilathuret-place,
E them. employed as a labourer at the sever
works at l'rickend, Chieelhurst Watt, a short distance
'tom Camden House, late the residence of the
Empress Eugenie. On Saturday afternoon aster
receiving his wages, he was met at.
hunt by his wife Sarah Jane Hunt, aged 32,
and they appear to have drunk at several public-
houses together. After leaving the Gordon Arnie
beerhouse, Chapel-lane, they started for home and
on the way, when between the Bee.hive public-house
and Pope-street railwo -nation, on the Dartford loop
line, they quarrelled over a dog he had, she accusing
him of loving the dog more than be did her. This
appears to have aroused his anger, and he attempted
to strike her, upon which she ran away on to a wax
of wade land by the side of the road. He followed
and caught her, pulled her to the ground by the hair
of her head, and with his bevy boot kicked her at
the back of the head, behind the ear, with such force
that she died in a few minutes. A man pa•eing at
the time gave information tif what had occurred to
a police-sergeant who was on patrol duty along the
road, and who galloped to the spot where the woman
was lying lifeless. took Hunt, who was sta.,ding by,
into custody, and conveyed him to the residence of
Police-sergeant Thomas Hawkins, who real el at
Brentworwl Cottages, near the Beehive. Leaving him
in the custody of that officer, he rode with all speed
into Kith= for Dr. Ford, who resides next the police-
station, and returned to the spot where the woman wee
lying. Ihe doctor, upon examining her, pronounced
life to be extinct, and, by his directions, the body was
conveyed to the house of Hunt to await an inquest.
After being taken into custody the prisoner said to
Wade' What I have done I most stiffer for," which
he repeated several times, adding " I'd sooner be
hung than walking about, If she dead I'll give in
that I killed her. We have had many • thousand
quarrels before, not half so bad as this.' He He after-
Verde asked is she dead!' and receiving a reply in
the affirmative, said "Can I see her r and was told
by the Sergeant he had better ask at the police
station. He was taken by Sergeant Hawkins to the
police station, and on Inspector Pryke proceeding to
fill up the charge-sheet, and isking him his name, he
, said ' I have got no name; I eniisted for a soldier
once, and I sold my name for a shilling. Is it right
she is dead ?" The inspect .r told him he had better
sit down and remain quiet until the doctor arrived.
He shortly afterwards sad "Can I go and see that
IWOMMI ; you know that I should like to see her. I
should notcare if I got 15 years if she is living." A post
swan examination of the body was made on
Sunday morning by Dr. Ford. Hunt is a Somerset
man, and comes from Crewkerne, and had only
been a short time employed at the sewer works
at l'rickend. The murdered woman was a widow
when he married her, and there are no children
of the marriage, but the deceased has a daughter, aged
13 rsin,, residing at Crewkerne. The prisoner was
charged at the Woolwich police-court on Monday
afternoon with the murder. The medical evidence
showed that death resulte I (min effusion of blood on
the brain, and prisoner was remanded till Wednesday.

with too much of its own fat, or loaded with a variety
of farinaceous substances, producing a soup rather than
