THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PARK,
EDINBURGH.

The judicial inquiry into the late murder iu the
Queen's Park is still prooreducl, and on Tuesday twenty.
seven corporals of the 13th Li t Dragoons appeared at the
office of the Procurator-Ir , no doubt with the view of
enabling the authorities to follow out the line of inquiry
suggested 'in the information volunteered by the woman
who came forward on Thursday Ist. That information, it
will to recollected, was to the effect that, about three
o'clock on the Sunday morning on which the murder
was committed, the informant, in company with another
woman, passed • corporal of the 13th Light Dra-
goons and • young girl etending close to the Clock-
mill.bridge, and heard the soldier threatening the
girl, and saying, "If you follow me I will do for you."
The authorities are now evidently giving the woman who
made those statements an opportunity of identifying, if
possible, the "corporal" referred to by her. The investi-
gation, of course, continues to be conducted with the
strictest secrecy ; but, so tar as we can learn, no actual
identification has been made. It is said, indeed, that the
woman, on being shown the corporals on Tuesday, pointed
out one of them as the man she had seen in the park, but
on the eorponds being placed before her in • group she
pointed out another man as the one she had soon. The es-
periment was tried again, and the third time she pointed
out the same man as on the first occasion. It is also
stated that another woman has ploillit4 out
corporal as one whom she had seen in the park
on the morning of the murder ; but on inquiry it
appeared that she must have been mistaken, as the man
wee on duty that night. On the whole, therefore, it may
be said that up to the present time nothing has transpired
tending to throw farther light on this mysterious crime.
The city police are endeavouring to put a stop to the ab-
surd and mischievous conduct of many parties who, in their
morbid desire to obtain some memorial of the murder,
have stripped the tree near which the body was found of
nearly all its bark and inauy of its branches. On Tuesday
two boys were braught up at the Police Court, before Baihe
Genres Russell, and found guilty of having been concerned
in breaking off some brandies of the tree in the park on
Sunday evening, and were fined fn. each, Rome older
people have been even niore foolish than any boys could be
in carrying away portions of the true and even of the turf
near the spot where the body of the girl was found.

THE WINELOW POISONITH3 CAM —lt will be re-
membered, in connexion with the trial of Window, on the
charge of lie% log poisoned Mrs. James, of Liverpool, that
the deceosed bequeathed the good-will, iuteri .4, kr., in her
busioess to Winslow, and the remainder of her property to
her nephews and nieces. We learn, however, that a caveat
to the will Las Leen entered on behalf of Mr. Bennett, •
brother of Mrs. Junin, cud a large wholesale stationer in
London.
