THE SUSPECTED MURDEE OP • CHILD NEAR
PLTMOOTE.—John Grant, a private in the 13th Regiment,
who is in custody at Plympton for having murdered a boy
named Philip Boobier, has made a sort of confession of the
crime of which he ands charged. Alter he had been
remanded by Mr. Bewes he called Sergeant Hicks to the
cell, and said hewished to be taken before a magistrate. He
was informed that his wish could not be granted, and the
prisoner then said that he wanted to make a confession.
The sergeant cautioned him that what he might say
might be used in evidence against him, and he then made
a statement to the effect that he left the temp in oompnny
with the little boy Boobier' for the purpose of having
• bathe. On their way to the beach the lad remarked
that there were rabbits about. Shortly afterwards he
(Grant) took up a stone with the intention of throwing it
at a rabbit, but he missed his aim and struck the boy on the
head. The deceased rolled for thirty or forty yards, and
prisoner went to him and found that he was suffering
much pain. He wrapped the deceased in his greatcoat,
and went away ; but on his return he found that he was
dead.— Western Morning News..

MURDER iY Dnnit.m. —An adjourned investi-
gation took place yesterday at Essington-lane, in the
county of Durham, relative to the death of James Cooper,
75 years of age, a miner, who lived in a house directly op-
posite with a woman named Jane Craggs, who was his
housekeeper. The deceased was found covered up in the
bed in his own house in a state of considerable de-
composition. Cooper was missed after Monday night the
14th of May last, and his appearance was accounted for by
the housekeeper stating that he had gone toCoxhoe at four
o'clock in the morning of that day. She always endeavoured
to prevent the neighbours, and lastly the police, from
approaching the bed, where the body was afterwards
found, and, as the evidence previously yenblished showed,
she had made several threats and peculiar expressions re-
'peeling the doing away with COOW. The discovery that
the deceased was in bed, and had bm-n there all the time,
was made by a fellow-workman of his, who, having had
his suspicions aroused, went to the house and unloosened
the bed curtains, which were closely drawn and pinned,
and then made the shocking disclosure that Cooper was
dead. The housekeeperi was thereupon taken nto custody
by the police on the charge of being concerned in his death.
A verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned against her,
and was received with arrest demonstrations of approval by
hundreds of ponces who had congregated at the outside of
the inn where the inquest was held.

STOCKBRIDGE RACES.—THURODAV.
The second day of the gathering at Stockbridge was even more
fashionably patronised than the day denied to the Blinn Club,
Lad 'Mende wee the largest ever seen In the
week. The weather improved front a dull morning
wtrlr=oisal showers to a brilliant afternoon, and the come-
Eunice of this was to induce a Lege attendance of ladies, many
of whom occupied *eats at the lower end of the enclosure. The
racing commenced at half-Past one with the Andover Stakes,
half-a-dozen runners going to the past ; and Lord Ronald, with
Mr. Edwards in the saddle, was ante favourite immediately.
The betting opened at Sto 4, and he justified their confidence
by winning in a canter. The second year of the Seventh Stock-
bridge Bieunisi Stakes brought out bat live runners from the 61
subscribers, and such a " good thing". was It considered for Lord
Portsmouth's Robin Hood, that odds of 4 to 1 were at one time
laid on the colt, hot the bookmakers accepted 100 to SO before
the slag fell, as Laogham was being quietly backed until 4to 1
was the highest offer against him. The race wax a tremesdons
dhappointment to the backers of the favourite, who, when look-
ing se it he could canter in a winner " shut up " must mugs-
takaaar. When called upon by Wenn ha would nut try a yard,
and thus Langhain won is good nos by three parts of
a length from Glenda°. The Railway Plate produced a great
favourite in Bitter Sweet, about whom as Euless 7 too wsetakeu,
but tbe followers of the favourite were doomed to defeat, es Masi
Fanny, a smart ally of W, Days by Thormanby, out of Laity
Les*, won in a canter by two lengths. For the Coventry Stakes
Seville was a tremendous favourite, odds of to 1 being laid on
her, but the support awarded to Marksman induced the
Solders to accept 5 to 4 about the Danehttry rePretnitalse. and
again was the favourite beaten, for Marksmen, always having the
best of it, won very cagily by two lengths. The Beaufort Handi-
cap gave the backers a turn by the suoxeCof William Day's colt
by Peppermint—Celerity, who became Each a warm favourite
that odds of tai
to were laid on hinl. The Manifold Wakes, one
of the principal t 4
wo-year-old races of the meeting, brought out
ten runners, and It went to a rank outsider, one of the Mies in
the French stable, who gave the bookmakers another good turn.
