THE MURDER AT CUDHAM.

Sarah Bagley, the mother-in-law of the murdered
woman, has cow so far railied as to give strong hopes of her ao
ultimate recovery. She caa speak with tolerable facility IS
but ignitable to state by whom, or in weal menace, she we. 20
so seriously maltreated. Her statement is, that immediately r.
after her son std grandson had left the cottage, everything "
remaining quiet, she fell into • &tie, from which she was at.
arou.ed by a frightful blow on the bead, which completely at
stunned her, and she remembered moth ng more until her SO
eon arrived is the evening. She adds that she did sot see SSt
the fellow oho Itt:uct the blow, neither did she hest any ro
noise. Her cue continues to excite much cvmmi•eration in 2

the neighbourhood. 20
It appears that a burglary was esmmit•cd on the &hardly ••
night preceding the murder, et the residence of a Miss as
Shepherd, near Thorobury, and it has been prayed that 2°
Palls sold about that pot lad, at Croydon, a black frock coat So
and black weistmst, fully corresponding with a Portion to
of the property stolen off Miss Shepherd's premise.. Indee4, la
as Palin's character becomes more and cnovi known, the 6
greatest wonder is cueed at his having Men at liberty emu
for the few weeks after his discharge from Dartmoor Prison,
as from the day he left the prison he seems to have bees
mixed up with numerous daring burglaries and robberies. 8,
Only af w sights before the murderous attstk on the st

short distance from the clergyman's, sad a deal of property
