cholera raged with such malignity as in the small town of

CHARGE OP MIIRDES.—The following ease was
heard on Thursday last at Cambridge, before the Rey. W.
Smith. Anthony 'Timlin, from Ballintule, county ROSeJII3-
moo, charged Michael Aygan, from Bollymeor, county
Westmeath (both Irish reapers, who had been working at
Cottenham), upon his own confession, with having cum-
mated murder. From the witness's evidence, it appeared
that he and the prisoaer met in London, and there Ayesn
told him that he could not return to his own country again,
as be had shot a gentleman who had taken hit uncle's land,
he expecting to have his uncle's property at hie death. He
also said if he could find out that the gentleman really was
dead, he would g >over and fetch enough money to carry
them both over to America. He did not say who the gen-
tleman was, nor when the murder was committed ; the wit-
ness also said that he had placed some money in the prisoner's
bands which he refused to return, and so he brought this
charge. The magistrate remanded the prisoner till the Ist
I of September, and as the witness could not find sureties for
his appearance at that time, he was sent to prison also. The
prisoner said his uncle's name is Boyd, and the agent's name
Is Featherstone. It may be remembered that last year a
similar avowal of the murder of Major Mahon was made at
Peterborough by an Irish reaper, and be was afterwards
convicted.—Bury Post.
SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.—
Mr. W. Carter concluded an inquiry at the Cooper's Arms
Tavern, Huisell-street, Bermonueey, touching the death of
a newly-born male child found dead in a market gardener's
field, Blue Anehoelane, Bermondsey. A verdictof Found
Dead" was rec. pled.
A New LOAP.—At the farmers' weekly tea, held
at the King's Head Inn, on Thursday last, Mr. Pain, of the
Duke's Bridge Farm, placed upon the table a substantial
loaf from the wheat of the present harvest. It was of good
colour, and very firm.—lpneich Express.
