effort to ',probed the murderer or merdeows of Mr.
Briags Indeed the ones is is some respects apparently In-
volved in greater mystery than ever. but omerthelms war.
talc facts have, it is believed, been clearly ascertained which
it is expected will bays as imported bearieg. A most
material circumstance has transpired. Two or three days
before the murder a Mr. White, the father of the landlord
at she Millard Arms, sad who resides oo his property eon-
terms, to the North Lexica Railway at Duckett's Canal,
when the body was thrown out of the carriage on to the
line, saw on two different occasions a man who we •
perfect Menem to the locality go up on to the Ithe by
means of the embankment adjoining the bridge over the
mod, and survey the line op and down. He seemed on the
get osessicie to look at that portion of the line with matted
atteatiou, bet perceiving Mr. White looking at him be got
down end walked away. Two days aftdirwards Mr. Whate
ma. saw him, and he was then standing on the very spot
when the body of Mr. Briggs was afterwards found. He
looked down the line towards the Bow cutting, and then
seeing Mr. White walked down the line, and getting dorm the
witheakmeet he sonde hi. way acmes some watercress bode
towe' Mr. Whim's brick field, when he disappeared from
view. Mr. White supposed that he went towards the
marshes by White Post-lam. What makes the matter
awe diesiving of consideratios is, that the dee/beer of Mr.
Whit., who was sot with the latter, also noticed the
strange man on the Hee, and she asked enbesretly what he
noel base doing thaw It is certainlyighly probable
that the murderer of Mr. Brims, if he did not get cut of
the tailway carriage at Hackney-wick platform. must have
got off the line almost at the part which the uoknowu in-
dividual was seen to so attentively examine. Ou so other
