SHOCKING riAOZDY_NR4R BURTON-UPON-

TRAWT.

, .

On Friday evening last, the lovely and pit,
tureique locality of Winshill sod Newton Mount wee
thrown into the greatest state of a:oft-einem by the near'
that a murder had been committed, and that the murderer
bad committed suicide, under the most painful circum-
li•llo6ll. On inquiring into the cause of the sad eatextrophe,
it was discovered that a young woman, named Mary Tom-
linson, a domestic servant at J. Drewry's, FAq., solicitor,
Newton Mount, had been the object of en attempted assas-
sination by a young man named Joseph Simpson, with whom
she had bees on terms of the closest intimacy for some time.
It appear', however, that she had been wounded on the right
aide of the head. directly below the ear, and, although very
severely injured—only slight hopes of her recovery being
entertained—ahe survives the attempt on her life.
It seems that directly alter aiming the deadly shot at his
sweetheart, and hearing her screams, he ran across two
fields, and discharged the contents of the remaining banal
into his owe heed. As far back as last Whitsuntide they
were engaged to be married. Affairs went on very '
smoothly until a short time since, when the current of cir-
cumstances aimed him to feel jealous at her conduct, On
Tuesday lest—oir the occasion of the rejoicings at the
Prince of Wales's marriage they went to Burton, which
I. only a short distance from the scam of the awful tragedy,
and there entered into the enjoyments provided. At the
conclusion of the day's festivities, she left the company
of Simpson and joined another young man, which had
the effect of irritating hie temper. He want on Thurs-
day evening last to Mr. Barrio's, at Burton, and purchased
a double-barrelled rifle pistol, with a quantity of powder
and shot, and on Friday morning Simpson went to the
residence of Mr. Drewry, where he asked a boy named
Rice, to tell the young women that he wished to see her.
The boy told her, sod she went to me him, when the,
had a short interview in what is called " the boot-house."
During their conversation there it appears that she gave
back to him the ring be had purchand for their wedding.
This interview was the last they held together. At about
half-put 4 o'clock in the evening, the report of fire-
arms was hoard, aed, on inquiry being made into the
cause, she was found lying on the coal-heap in a state of
insensibility. She was picked up, when it was found that
she had been allot, and she was immediately attended by
medical men, who rendered all the assistance risible to
save the life of the unfortunate young woman. Simplon
was seen loitering about the premises of Mr. Drewry dories
the greater part of Friday, but from his manner no sus. '
pinion was aroused as to the object he bad in view. After
shooting the girl he ran some dMtance, and shot himself
through the mouth. Several west in penult of Simpson,
but were unable to Bad him. He was, however, ultimately
discovered by • man named Orme, lying in a ditch, with
blood streaming from the wound her had inflicted by the
pistol shot. waa not dead when found, but life was
extinct before medical aid could be procured.

lITTRAOR.DINARY CASE 07 CHILD STEALING.

A novel and romantic cane of child stealing,
which has crested the greatest interest throughout Wilt-
shire, engaged the attention of the Salisbury magistrates for
three or four hours on Saturday. A woman gamed Annie
Shipley was charged with stealing an infant from the wife
of John Yariett, a seaman employed on the London sad
South Western Railway, and her husband, John Shipsey,
stood charged as an aeonesory after the fact. A summons
had likewise been issued against Mr. SanmelmalL,,a
of more than twenty years' staading at Amesbury,
to cause why he should not be similarly charged as an
accessory. The Shipley' were not defended, but Mr. Lewis,
senior, of Ely-place, London, appeared& behalf 'ilk. Pyle.
The facts, as they were deposed to is evidesee, were
these :--On Tuesday, the 3rd test., Mrs. Yarled, the pro-
*Nutria, who had been confined only about firs weeks, wee
on her way to see her mother, who is an inmate of de of
the Salisbury shashouses, having her baby in her
arms,
when she was accosted by the female prisoner, who
that she bad been taken suddenly ill, and would be glad
if Mrs. Yarlett would accompany her into a public-home hard
by, for the purpose of haviegsonte peppermint. Mrs. Yarlett
agreed, and they had not been more than • few minutes in the
house, when she wu asked by the female prisoner to go to
a draper's shop in the town fora parcel which had been left
there for • Mrs. Brown, and which she herself was too ill
to be able to fob& Mrs. Yarlett west, leaving her baby
in the hands of the prisoner, but when she returned to say
that there was so parcel for any Mrs. Brown, the prisoner
and the infant bad dimppeiusi. Every effort was made by
the polies to trace the woman, who was • perfect stranger
to the proem/nide, that night, but without the slighted
MON& On the following Thursday it was ascertained that
the female prisoner bad accosted • carter, to whoa she
was 1:1101•11 on Tuesday evening, about a mile from Salisbury
laying, "I wish you were going the other way ; you see I
have got my bargain." " When did that happier he
inquired, and she replied, " Sinew 1 loft home this morn-
ing." It was further ascertained that • farmer returning
from Salisbury market had glue her • lift as tar as Ames-
bury, and that she told him she hadthres child's., molding
the infant which she then had in her arms. This being known
to be untrue, Superintendent Olden, of the Salisbury
police, went to her house on a farm at Milaton, where her
busbend was shepherd, and there head an Meet being
i nursed by her eider. The female primmer, who was in bed
upstairs, stated that she was confined immediately after
her rot= from Salisbury on Tuesday evening, and that two
women, neighbours, were presen t. These women, however, did
not appear to have been called in untilaf ter the little stranger
was in the house, and having his suspicions that the said
' little stranger was considerably more than two or three
days old, Mr. Oaldon called in Mr. Pyle, and paid him the
usual fee to examine the woman. Ho went upstairs, and
in • few minutes gave it as his opinion that abs had been
recently confined, that she had milk, and that the child
might be about four or five days old. The statement of
John Shipsey, the husband, who was thus sent for, was to
the effect that hie wife was soddenly taken I. labour on her
way home from Salisbury, end that he himself had been to
the spot which she had pointedout, and there found certain
evidence, which he removed. To this statement
he did not afterwards adhere, and onesquently
further suspicion was excited. On the following day Mrs.
Shipley was examined by Mr. Winn r, surgeon, of Salis-
bury, who gave it as his opinion that mho had ad been
ruestly confined, even if she had ever bees emeined at all,
and that the child was at least four or five week. old. A
wand was accordingly obtained for thewmeheadon of
Mrs. Shipley and her husband, but en Saturday Mr. Pyle
refused to allow the police to enter the heti& on the
ground that the woman was suffering from inflammation
el the bowels. Later in the day, Mr. Mastic Goatee,
another surged of Salisbury, was taken over to
demise her, and whale his opinion fully eorrthorated
that at Mr. Wismar, he could dissever so traces of
inflammation, although the woman comp/dud of pain
on pre. She was very agitated, and Mr. COSille
accordingly suggested that she bad batter ad be removed
beton Sunday. The hods was plead in charge of • con-
stable, and Shipsey himself was takes to Salisbury. He
then made a written statement to the effect that his wife
came home between 6 and 7 on Tuesday evening, and knock-
ing at the door said, " Oh, deer ; oh, dear ; I have got
your bargain." He said, " What in the world bus you
get?' and she replied, "Oh, do take hold al it sad let I
Eupstairs."
v The infant, be said, had only • calico
round it. He asked her if he should go
far a theme, and she said "No," he had better
call in some of the seighboars, which he did. Mrs. Yarlett
was taken to the house, and immediately identified the
child, which was given up to her. She likewise identified
the shoo bandage, bat sou of the other clothes which the
Infant had on when it was lost wad he found, and it is
supposed that the prisoner destroyed them on her way home.
Oa Sunday evening Mr. Pyle consented to her removal,
and expressed his regret at not having originally made a
more minute examination. Oa Monday Shipley and his
wife were taken before the magistrates, and formally re-
manded until Saturday, the latter still declaring, and calling
Heaven to witness, that the child was her own. 0. Saturday
she said that if she stole it she could aot recollect it, and
begged the magistrates to have mercy upon her husband.
Mr. Lewis, on the part of Mr. Pyle, oieteeded that he had
committed so offsets. Men neglirente did not reader hint
liable to se indictment as a. aerreaory. The bench, taking
this view of the case, dismissed tbosummons. John Shimmy,
too, was discharged, but hie wife was committed for trial
at the Salisbury Borough Sessions.
