THE MURDER ON THE NORTH LONDON

RAILWAY.

LATEST PARTICULAB4.-MHIS DAY.)

The police are engaged on a particular line of
iequiry, which it is hoped may tend to the ameat of the
perpetrators of the above atrocious murder. It I. reported
that the polio. have been furnished with the description of
a man who it is believed reds in the same train as the de•
owed gentleman from Fenchurch-street, sod whose rea-
dout, just en the train was about to start, in first entering a
carriage, thee suddenly leaving and going higher up the
platform, was seeh as to excite the attention of we or two
peaseugers.

. -
In the course of this mottling large placards were posted
at the several statioos of the North Loodoe Railway sad
in other parts of the metropolis, offering a reward of UK
for such Information u will lead to the guilty party or
parties. 1001. is offered to be paid by her Majesty's go-
vernment, and the other 1004 by the bank of Messrs.
Roberts, Lubbock and 00.. and it is matitipated that the
North London Railway Company will increase the reward
to 5001. The following is the description of the missing
watch of thedeosased as stated in the public notice. "A large
old fashiooed gold chroeometer watch, white disk mooed.
bands, with gold Albert chain, large gold key, with the
figure of an animal on the top, gold swivel *sal with two
stones, one dark, one white, attached." The placard also
meetioes that a bat, supposed to belong to the murderer.
was found ie the carriage, cad gives the same of the maker
white it bears, "T. H. Walker, batter, Crawford-street,
Narylebooe."

The postmortem exandaatiou of the body of the deceased
gentlemen wee made this morning by Mr. Tualatin, sur-
geon, of Hackney, sad Mr. Breretoo, satin•, al Old Ford,
the blear (estimates beteg the first doctor who was to at-
Madame on the deemed after he wu reaserad from the
line to the /dittoed Castle fever°. and remained with the
poor sufferer for several hours durivg the eight. The rusk
el the esamisaties has not lesaapired„ bat it is understood
that the severe }sectored wound peeetrating to the brain
must have hem inflicted with some two instrument.
It is conjectured that some of the injuries ow the head might
have bean masa when the wifortseate gentleman was
throws out of the trsia. It dose not appear, however, that
be fell upon Hui edge of a rail or an iron chair, ea be um
found lying on the permanent way is the centre of the els-
foot way.

The outrage still continues to be the topic of general eon-
venation, sod the strongest helms are universally expressed
