SHOCKING MURDER OF A GIRL IN
GBOBOASTP.RBT, BLOOMSBURY.

Last night the police received information that a 1
murder bed been committed at No. 4, George-atreet, I
Bloomsbury, a brothel, near the police-station.
It appears that about five o'clock yesterday afternoon the
servant at the house went into one of the rooms to sweep
it, when she was horror-struck at seeing • female lying on the
bed deed, with several state about the neck and breast. There
was also a quantity of blood about the room, and In a
washhand basin some blood and water, as if
a person had washed his or her hands. From
what has dace transpired it appears that the polio',
who were speedily informed of the matter, entertained in
the course of the evening that the deceased female was
named Jackson, and that she had resided at No. 10,
Berwicketreet, Soho, and partially gained her livelihood
by shirtanking, and, considering the cum she belonged to,
was by the police deemed a well-behaved woman.
It is alleged that deceased was seen about 7 o'sioek yester-
day morning in Old Compton-stroot, Soho, in the company
of a man having the ameerance of a foreigner, who at the
time was having his boots cleaned by a shoeblack. A man
living in the home where the mender took place says he
admitted the dammed, sad a man, but Gee only give a very
imperfect description of the man.

A murder of ; somewhat similar diameter it is abated was
committed in the same house some years ago, mid the mur-
derer camped for a time, bat was apprehended sad exe-
cuted.
