MIDDLESEX SESSION&

William Germany, 23, baker, was indicted for stealing
two portmanteaus, value 101., the property of the London
and North Western Railway Company. There was a second
indictment against him for stealing a portmanteau and
other artiolca, value W., the property of the London and
North Western Railway Company.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to both indictments.
The Assistant-Judge said it was impossible to exaggerate
the importance of such cases as these, as railway travellers
were entirely at the mercy of railway servants, as they
had every opportunity of carrying off property. It
was the duty of the court to peas a severe sentence as a
warning to others, which was that he be kept in penal ser-
vitude for five years.

Tor NORFOLK MURDER.—A good deal of
additional light has been thrown on the tragical circum-
stances attending the death of Benjamin Black, at Barton
fiendish, Norfolk. already briefly reported. Two broken
bottles and a mug were found close by the spot where the
deceased's remains were discovered, but no importance
was attached to this circumstance, although it is thought
that the articles in question were left to lead to the im-
prion that the murder was committed by some drunken
fellow. From inquiries made by the police, however,
they became suspicious of a young man named Hubbard
Lingley, a nephew of the deceased, who has been employed
in the wood near which his uncle was found. The answers
given by Lingley, in reply to questions put to him,
were contradictory ; and his manner being also somewhat
peculiar, he was taken into custody on Saturday evening.
The prisoner admitted having concealed his gun, and
pointed out the plate where it was hidden. The shut
taken from the deceased, on a post-mortem examination
being made, corresponded with some found at the pri-
soner's house. The prisoner is shown to have bought shot
in the course of last week, and on Thursday he had a
charge of 19 ounce weighed. A powder flask, which has
been identified as the prisoner's property, was also found
in the wood. The deceased man Black was employed as
wood steward on the estate of Sir Hanson Berney. The
prisoner was brought up for examination before a bench of
magistrates at Downham Market, and remanded for a
week.

SUICIDE ON TEE BRIGHTON RAI LWAY. —A
suicide of a very shocking character was committed yester-
day morning in the celebrated Clayton tunnel of the Lon-
don and Brighten Railway. When the 8 a.m. train from
London to Brighton had got about 100 yards within the
tunnel a respectably-dressed man who had got into a
second-claas carriage at the Three-bridges station suddenly
opened the door and threw himself oat before his fellow-
pasengers had time to restrain him. On arrival at the next
station the fact wee telegraphed to Brighton, and a special
engine was at once ant to the spot. The body of the
unfortunate man was found divided into three tarts, his
head and one leg being completely separated from the
trunk. The remains were taken to a public-house at Pye-
combe, where they await identification and the coroner's
inquest.
