HORRIBLE MURDER OP A WIPE BY HER HUS-
BAND THROUGH JEALOUSY, AND SUICIDE
OP THE MURDERER.-(THIS DAY.)
-.--

This morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, great
excitement wia ocassialed in Leigh-etreet, Burixperesoent,

Iby a rumour that s husband had murdered his wife, and
bad also killed himself by cutting his throat.
The reporter cm repairing to the spot found that polio..
constable Thorne' O'Dell, 28 E, bad just been called to the
r house No. 5, Leighverest, in the emepation of Mr. Ashley,
a tailor, in • large way of blesses. That gentleman
informed the police that he and his family felt some alarm
from the fact that they saw blood triakling down the walla
of the kitchen, which is below the trek parlour. Mr. Ashley,
think* that something was 'room, bad tried to pia sd.
mimics to the back parlour, ►ut tab be could sot do, nor
could he make anyone bear. He abo said that the room
was occupied by a man and his wife ; the name of the min was
JAMS Pearce, and ft is elated that his wife's was Elisabeth.
The policeman than sabred the house and knookid.
Getting no mower he endeavoured to break opea the dear,
but this be could not do. Seeing that the key was held.,
and that the look could sot be peeked, the polioensaa than
want to the back of the house, and having obtained • bidder,
broke the book parlour window and mitered the room.
A fearful sight presented itself, for oe the ground, lying
side by aide, lay the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Pearce, their
throats cut in a most fearful meatier, and welseriag I. •
pod of blood. By the aide of the man was lying •
bog sheath knife covered with blood, and it wee
very evident from its appearance that it had been nasally
sharpened.
" •

From the appleraeoe of the bodies it would appear that
the imaa had just Ilitudertd his wife, and then cut his own
throat.

The police at onoe sent for medical aid, mid Mr. J. T.
Paul, of 26, Barton-creeossit, divisional surgeon of the
dividoe, immediately attended. He made es examina-
tion of the bodies, sad proommed life extinct, but gave it
am hie opinion that death had sot keg takes place. He
made a cursory examination of the bodies (which he had
found lying on their boob in separate pools of blood),
and found on the female a tremendous ant on the top of
the heed extending down to the boos, sod which
he bed no hesitation In saying bad been in-
flicted by some blunt inatruramit. There wee also an
immure cat extending from the frost of the nook down to
the spine, the bead banging only by a small piece of skis
end the bone. This coned alone would have eased in-
stantaneoue death. Above this there was another severe
out of some depth (which of itself would also have caused
death), and which in all probability bad been inflicted after
the blow on the bead. The was had also a very deep cat
extending half across the threat sad sepazetiag the wind-
pipe, and it wee of sash a severe character that death must
Lave been inetentanecias.

Tbis morning a deputation from the inhabitants
of the pariah of 84. liaryleboas, appointed at • public
