Tag MURDER AT SENNING-HTLL PARK —Yes-
terday afternoon the police ware still endeavouring to dis-
cover the perpetrator of the cruel murder at Sturninghill
Perk, the seat of Mr. P. H. Crutchley. The lodge in which
Mrs. Butler lived is one of those small buildings, consisting
of two or three rooms, which are usually placed just inside
the gates of the roads leading to the country seats in the
district. It is a neat little place, with whitewashed front
and • central door, on each side of which is a window. In
front of the lodge] there is • prett7 dower garden
separated from the prints road which leads to the
mansion (a mile or so distant) by a low railing.
ft)e site of the lodge is a rather lonely case, as
it is about half a mile from Buckbursthlil, where, with the
exception of a farm some two or three hundred yards off,
are the nearest houses to the some of the murder. From
further inquiries it appears that Mrs. Butler acted as house-
keeper to William Maacey, at the lodge. Macon is in the
employ of Mr. Nelson, a racehorse trainer at Winkfield, and
on leaving home about half-part flee o'clock on Saturday
morning to go to his work, left the old woman asleep
in her room. and did not disturb her; and from this
time it is stated that no one Ml= to have noticed
anything particular till the discovery of the crime
in the course of the evening, when the woman wan found in
a dying state by Kentish, the carrier. The murder seems
to have been committed with much brutality and violence,
for on the red brick door just wider the door, where the
pavement Las become hollowed with wear, there is a large
pool of coagulated blood, while against the door leading to
the kitchen, where the murdered woman seems to have laid
her bead, there is • large stain and splashes of blood. Who
are the guilty parties is at present • mystery, but the police
are raid to be in pursuit of two tramps, • man and woman,
who were seen on the road to Windsor • short distance from
the lodge, by Kentish, the carrier. There are also other
rumours afloat, but till the inquest takes Waft probably
little will be brought to light with regard to the perpetrators
of this foul deed. At preseat it certainly would seem that
the murder was not committed from motive* of plunder, as,
though there was a little money in the house, nothing was
disturbed or broken open.
DARTNO BURGLARY AND OrntAnz IN ESSLX,—.
Tbe quint village of Woodford, in EMU. has just been the
woos of a daring burglary and attempt to murder a police-
man, which it is to be feared may prove fatal. A farmer
named Joseph Kemeley, whose laud stands by the side of
the Woodford-bridge-road, lives in a somewhat retired spot,
with his two daughters, oear Woodford, and at about hall-
peat eleven o'clock on Friday night last the two young
worms were suddenly awakened by three men dremed as
labourers, with crape over their faces, and otherwise dis-
guised. They threatened them with instant death if they
raised any alarm. One of the radius held a
pistol to the head of one of the girl, and,
with a heavy bludgeon in the other hand, so terrified
them with imprecations and threats that they both
fainted, ant reu,ained unconscious for some considerable
tune. The burglars took advantage of the helpless wadi.

room or make any endeavour to raise an alarm, and the
poor fellow who bad been so grievously illdruted lay there
weltering in his blood for a considerable time, until be was
