market, the victim being• female of the name of Teter. a
housemaid in the 'orris* of Mr. listable, the landlord. The

cell, and it appeared that he was desperately in lore with
the deceased.

The murdered woman wee heard to ,cream, and on the
nephew of the landlord going upstairs he found the psi-
,,,oer on the third landing, with a long knife in his band.
The prisoner exclaimed that he bad killed the girl, on which
be WIN seized and detained in custcdy.

Mr. George Tate, surgeon, of 61, Camden-mad Villss,who
was called by the inmates of the public-house, found
the deceased dead from an incised wound in the left breest,
extending through the lungs and penetrating the heart.
It would appear that the deceased and the prisoner had
walked together, and it is said that a fellow servant
(a female) had dissuaded the deceased from going out with
tam.

Inspector Richardson, of the N division, who was early on
the spot, took the prisoner into custody. From what he
could ascertain it would appear that the prism.: hedger's
to bed, and that after he had been to bed some time he got
up, and hid himself on the stairs before he perpetrated the
deed, At the station he said, " I did do it ; l loved the
girl, and that's the remain I did it." He exhibited greet
indifference, and did not seem to can anything about the
matter.

ceased, by stabbing her in the heart with a butcher's knife.
The prisoner looks very young for hie age,and his appearance

pi isomer coming downstairs. He had a knife is
bis band, and said, " I have done it, Muter Henry ;
I have killed her." He took the knife from him, and
said " You scoundrel, come downstairs." The prisoner
went downstairs and he then gave him into the custody of
a gentleman is the bar. The knife, which was about 18
inches long, and vary sharp, was covered with blood. That
knife was used in the kitchen. The prisoner and the
deceased, as far as he knew, had been on very good terms
together.
Mr. D'Eyncoart—Had there been an attaehmeat between
the amassed and the priamw
Witness—Thsre bad been. That was about seven months

-The prisoner said in a firm tone that he did not wish to
ask this witness any questions.
Wm. Gardener, the head waiter, said he knew the pri-
soner and the deceased, as servants in the employ of kir.
Keeble. Lest night be was in front of the bar sweeping
when he beard a loud and long scream coming from the top
of the house. Seeing the previous witness going upstairs
be followed, and saw ilr. Keeble having hold of the pri-
soner. He lashed past, and,befoyereachieg theorist landing,
he saw the deceased fall en the landing. She was bleeding
very much from a wound in the left breast. He could ass
the wound.

Mr. D'Eyecourt —Did she live bog !
Witores—No. He believed that she wu dead when he
picked her up. She did not speak or groan. The oely sign
of life she gave 1,611 so eocleavour to draw one breath ; but
this she failed io.

Mr. IYEysooart—Had you observed that the prisoner had
bee. paying his addresses to the deceased?
Witness—No. I thought that there was nothing more
than joking between them.
Mr. D'SyDooart—Had you wee anything about the pri-
soner that would have led you to suppose that he intended
anything of this sort!
Witness said no. He had seen a young man come to the
boom who be understood MA paying hr addresses to the
young woman.
Mr. George Tate, member of the Royal Collage of Sur-
geon, said be was called to examine the deceased. He found

amining her be found as incised wound on the
upper part of the left breast. The orifice was about an inch
and a half or two inches in depth. He put his finger into
the wound and found that the knife had pissed through the
left lung into the back of the heart. He could feel the
heart. (Sensation.) He could feel the heart with his Soger.
He pushed hie finger in ae far be could. He had no doubt
but that the wound was immediately fatal.
Mr. D'Eyncoart—Could the wound have been inflicted
with such a knife as that produced !
Wieser—Yee ; it is just such a knife ss would inflict such
• wound.

-
Mr. D'Eyeeourt—Would it require much force to inflict
ouch a wound

Wieser, —Yr it would require considerable force.
Mr. D'Eyaroult asked if the deceased wee a robust young
women.

NViti;ess--Yes; and she was a vary fine young woman and
full of flesh.

Charles Hill, the loots, gave confirmatory evidence, and
said th►t he left the prisoeer in his bedroom about twenty
minutes before this oocurreeos. He then bade him good
night, and the premier said, " Oh, I might come down
again." A few minute' afterwards he caw the prisoner with
a knife in his hand, and ha said he bad does it. Last Sun-
day fortnight the dereseed came home with bar cousin, and
the prisoner then said, " That is the man (meaning the
cousin) that has takes my pesos of mind." The deceased
and the prisoner bad bees partial to owe another, bat not so
much of late. He did not think that the ' contem-
plated anything of this sort. The dsersed wished witness
good night two or three minutes before be had heard the
scream. He had beard the prisoner may that he was very
fond of the demand, and that its would have her sad no
roe else.

Police-constable George Gowen, 220 N, said that about

sod POW girl she has got it, and I hope she will die." A
gentleman came into the room and said "Elbe is dead." The

ance of the West-end sod other parts of the metropolis

prentice of her Majesty the Queen on the Reath was

parent to the throne a matter of great importance as regards

The number of vehicles pealing over Waterloo-bridge
this morning was immense, and judging teem the great
intim: at the South Western Railway terminna, it may be
sesnmed that the anticipation of detriment to the traffic
arising from the recent calamity at Egham have not been
realised. Indeed, it was stated by an official, in reply to
Inquiries, that even yesterday—the day immediately enc.
eesding the socident—yielded doubts the proceeds of any
