THE MURDER IN ST. GILA:WEL—At a late hour /I
last night the police apprehended a man at Woolwich who 40
answers in almost every particular the description of the 2
man Jeffery who is suspected of murdering his son in ;
Seven Dials on Saturday, the 28th ult. The man has 44
been working at Woolwich occasionally for months past— 44
what is popularly known me " off and on"—and had, as it TM
is stated, only reappeared at Woolwich a few hours before 11
his apprehension. Some portion of the clothing is not the
same SI the suspected murderer ls said to have worn on
the night of the commission of the crime ' • but the matter ei
will be decided before this report meets the public eye, is
as the witnesses who can identify the murderer have gone 11
down to Woolwich. There was also a rumour current in 41
the afternoon that a man had been detained at Chelms-
ford
on suspicion, but inquiries at once showed that he i;
was not the man " wanted.'
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OT POTOONINO.—Yester-
an inquest was held at the Great Western Hotel, 10
BBaton, on the body of a collier, aged 41, named William 1
Treater, who died very suddenly during the night of Sun- 3
day last, in that town. During Sunday he was in good
health up to just after nine o'clock, when he complained
of a pain in his stomach. Soon the pain became acute, and 1
he died in great agony before two o'clock. A poet mortem
examination has shown that death was caused by poison- ;
ing. The stomach had a hole burnt in it of the ems of a
aurpene.e, just ea if a red.hot poker bad burnt through it.
Mr. Best, the surgeon, said that death could have been pro-
duced by only four poisons ; and that the one in this ease
wee of the most deadly and corrosive character. It must '
also have been taken in a solid state, or the mouth would
have been cauterised. For the satisfaction of the public
and the jury, the coroner directed an analysis of the
stomach and its contents. The inquest was therefore ad-
journed for a month.
STRUM IN THS SILK TRADE.—On Wednesday
the chairman of the joint committee of manufedurers and
workmen (Mr. Procter, solicitor) gave his award on the
points remaining in dispute between the masters and ope-
ratives. On the Mopdore question—the chief point un-
decided—he awarded in favour of the workmen, and, with
one or two exceptions, the sward generally is in favour of
the weavers, by whom it has beenreoeived with entire satis-
faction. The strike is now, therefore, et an end. after up-
wards of five weeks' duration. The two committees re-
main organised bodies to be called together at any time
a dispute arises, both sides pledging themselves to carry
out in their integrity the terms mutually agreed upon be-
tween them, and to bring up all delinquents on either side.
The men were to have resumed work yesterday, but they
refused to do so until the final settlement ol the ques-
tion. They will, therefore, go to work on Thursday.
About 2,000 weavers have been on strike, with no funds,
and entirely dependent upon other trades and the sym-
pathy of the public. They have sucseeded in gaining an
advance on their weekly earnings of from 21. to 55., and
state that they have put the trade in a better position for
the weaver than it has been In for 20 years. The manu-
facturers have made liberal concessions, but some of them
aver that several branches of the mixed trade will be
materially embarrused by the new list. —Manchester
