THE TRAGEDY AT RUCKHURST-HILL.

LATEST PARTIOULARS.--(THIS DAY.)
BIT/CH SST. II I LL, SATURDAY.
This morning Dr. Home reports that the young
girl is progressing favourably. The most dangerous wound
which Hie has received was one three inches in depth,
intheted by the dagger, under her right shoulder
blade. It was out of that wound that the
braes sheath protector was extracted. None of the other
12 wounds which she received are more than an inch is
depth. If she does recover, Dr. Horne states it will be
simply owing to the extraordinary power of endurance of
her wonderfully strong constitution. All here take the
greatest interest in the muie, and the sufferer is receiving
considerable attention.

The girl has told Dr. Horne that she did not hear a clock
strike while she was lying in the field on the night of the
tragic occurrence from 10 o'clock until she heard Buck-
burst-hill church clock strike 4. The sound of the striking
to awake her, and she got up and leaned against
appeared fence, where she was found by the policeman. She
had become sensible two or three times before that, bat
she was only able to crawl along the grass. It was very
cold, and the rain fell heavily.
The prisoner is quite unconcerned about the whole
affair, and speaks about it with the greatest freedom
When he was being taken to prison on Thursday afternoon,
ar he was riding in a railway carriage along the Groat
Eastern line, he saw some one he knew on one of the eta.
tion platforms. To the suprise of the people, he nodded,
laughed, and waved his handcuffed hands at her.

REFORM MEETING AT MANCIIEsTEIt. —-A crowded
and enthusiastic reform meeting was held in the Free
trade Hall, Manchester, last evening. Mr. George Wills*
was in the chair. Mr. Bailey, M.P., Mr. Hugh Mason,
I Mr. Robert Kell, Mr. Jacob Bright, Rev. G. W. Condors
Mr. J. B. Tore, Mr. Alderman Heywood, and other gentle.
men addressed the meeting. Revolutions were Puma
strongly condemnatory of the government Reform Bill,
and expressing the unabated confidence of the liberal Fuel
in the leadership of Mr. Gladstone. The following lefts(
has been received from Lord Amberley, but was not reed
at the meeting:—" Rodborough Manor, Stroud, April
24, 1867. Sir,-1 regret that I shall not be able to attend
the reform meeting at Manchester on Friday neat, which
is to be held for the purpose of condemning the govern•
went reform bill. At the same time I beg to assure you of
my sympathy in the object you have in view ; for I believe
theonly hope of either materially improving the bill, or pre.
curing its rejection if it cannot be improved, now lies in
an emphatic and unequivocal expression of the opinion of
the country. Aa far as I am concerned, I should be vet':
glad if the measure could be so amended as to establish
household suffrage in all boroughs, irrespective of the local
arrangements as to rating ; but I am afraid there is little
probability of this or any other result satisfactory to real
reformers being reached during the present session of par.
liament.—Your obedient servant, AMIllll.1:1"."

This wi a suit to determine the validity of • will
which would pass a property estimated at from 400,0001.
co 450,005/. The testatrix was Mrs. Ann Thwaites, late
of 17, Hyde-perk-garden', and of Charmandean, near
Worthing. She was the widow of • tea-merchant, in
Fenchurch-street, who died in 1834, leaving • personalty
'deed at 390,0001. with realty to the extent of from
12.1106/. to 20,000/. more, the bulk of which he bequeathed
to the uncontrolled possession of his wife. She was a
erson of low origin and education, but after her mar-
riage she made every effort, not without 'access, to fit
herself for her position in society to which she bad
keen raised. In I&4S she bought • house on

domestic in Mr. Thwaites' employment. She bad
iarried a fellow-servant, by whom she had had a darn
•ainily. One of her daughters had married an artfA
aimed Cooke; another had married • Mr. Parrott; and
there were also (our sone, Robert Tebbitt, Walter, Henry,
and Alfred. Of thew, two, Cooke and Walter Tebbitt, join
with their mother in opposing the will. On the part of the
plaintiffs, who were the executors, it was slimed that a
niarrel soon took place between the testatrix
and her sister. Mrs. Tebbitt was, however, left at
Clapham, and Mrs. Thwaites went to live at Herne Bey,
which, however, she soon left, and came to reside in Fins-
bury-circles. Here she settled 30,000/. upon Mrs. Tebbitt
and her children. In 1840 she bought her house in Hyde-
pirk.gardens, which she retained till her death, and she
ale purchased her property at Charmandean. One of the
plaintiffs, Mr. John Sims Smith, was • medical attendant
to whom the testatrix imagined that she was, humanly
speaking, indebted for her recovery from a dangerous Ri-
ess. This feeling led to a warm friendship towards him.
She invited him to Charmandean ; she also adopted
two daughters and his brother • she also in.
laced bhp to give up his practice and become her man

John Smith, aged 32, of no home, a oostermonger, and
John Bennett, aged 18, a porter, who refused his address,
were charged before Mr. Flower, with stealing from •
railway van, in the Euston-road, two pieces of unbleached
linen, the property of the Great Western Railway Com-
Pa;11. Ricketts, solicitor, defended.
William Thorogood, a detective in the employ of the
Great Northern Railway Company, said that last night,
about half-past 8, he saw the two prisoners and two other
men following • van belonging to the Great Western Rail- ,
way, in the Gray's-inn-road, and when the van got near to
Messrs. Cubitt's establishment one prisoner got on the van
and sat on the tailboard, and appeared to be doing some-
thing to a large truss that was on the tail of the van.
When the van got towards the lights of the *hope he
got down, and all the men followed the van to
the Euston-road and then the prisoner Smith got
on the tailboard. At the corner of Charlton-street
Smith got down, and then be and a man not in custody
began tugging away at the truss, and took out a roll of
calico. Directly they had pulled it out Smith took it on
to the pavement and put it into a bag that the prisoner
Bennett was carrying. Smith than went back to the van
and pulled out another roll. The van was moving
all the time. Bennett received the second roll
and put it in his bag. All the men followed
the van along the Euston-road, and when near
Tottenham-court-road, Bennett took the property into the
Orange Tree public-house. The other men followed the
van and he remained outside the public-house, when
Smith returned, and having procured assistance, he took
both prisoners into custody. For some time part he had
had the prisoners under observation, knowing them to
belong to a gang of determined railway thieves.
The manager of the goods department Great Western
Railway asked for a remand, as robberies of this deeerip-
, tion were of frequent occurrence.
1 Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoners for a week, and
refused bail.

Arthur Edmonds, aged 13, of lainet-grove, Birdcage-
walk, Hackney, and Thosaa Taylor, aged 18, of 2, Oak-
ford-knees, Boston-street, Goldsmith's-row, were charged
with being in possession of 13 silver spoons, a watch, eight
shirt studs, and other articles, and not being able to
give a satisfactory account of the same.
It appeared that shortly after 5 o'clock last evening the
prisoners catered the shop of Mr. Harris, pawnbroker, of
Deptford, where Taylor offered the spoons in pledge. The
assistant, suspecting something wrong, called in police-min-
stable Savage, 484 A Division, to wh ns inquiry Taylor !a-
phid that they had picked the spoons up whilst cross-
ing Blackheath. Bcth prisoners were then taken into
custody, and on being searched a small clock was found in
the possession of Taylor, and on Edmonds the articles
named in the charge, and also an eye-glass, D. 12a. 6d. in
money, seven silver, and four brass coins, and a syringe.
The father of Edmonds attended the court this morning
and identified the articles produced. and said that he (Ed-
monds) absconded from home on Thursday, taking with
him a writing-desk containing most of the articles
and W. in money, besides some clothes and a watch
belonging to another son. The prisoner had been charged
with felony at the Worship-street Police-court a fort-
night or three weeks since,; but was then discharged.
He (the father) knew nothing of the prisoner Taylor.
In answer to the magistrate, Taylor said the other pri-
soner met him, and asked him to go with him, and he
went.

Mr. Train said he thought it would be better to send the
case to the sessions, in order that the younger prisoner
might be ordered to be detained in the reformatory estab-
lishment ; and for the purpose of making the necessary
inquiry concerning Taylor, both prisoners were remanded.
After the prisoners were removed, information was re-
ceived that the writing-desk bad been found by police-
constable 74 Pon a railway embankment between Peck-
ham and Lewisham, haying been broken open, and the con-
tents abstracted.

MURDER NEAR BUNCRANA, COUNTY OF DONE-
GAL.—LONDONDERRY, THURSDAT.—intelligeDee of a very
brutal murder has just reached this city. The victim is
en old woman named Fanny Lynch, and the person who
stands charged with the commis.ion of the crime is her
own son, Patrick Lynch. They lived together. along with
a daughter of the deceased, at Sallyanan, near Buncrana,
county of Donegal, and supported themselves on a small
farm there. They had the land stocked with sheep,
sad on Saturday these trespassed on a neighbour-
ing farm, the owner of which drove the animals
to the pound. This circumstance appears to have annoyei
Patrick Lynch, and when he returned to hie mother's
house he was inclined to quarrel with her, as well ss
with his sister, as he thought that they should have pre-
vented the sheep from trespassing. He turned his sister
out of the house, and she sought shelter with a neighbour
during the night. Next morning she returned home, and
asked to see her mother. Patrick Lynch denied that she
was in the house ; but his sister entered the room, and
found her mother lying on the bed quite dead. Marks of
violence were found on her neck, and there could be no
doubt that she had been foully murdered. Patrick Lynch,
the deceased's son, was at once taken into custody, and at
the coroner's inquest yesterday, the jury found the death
of the deceased had been caused by violence. They had
no evidence before them to show who was the actual per-
petrator of the murder. They, however, stated that ens.
picion rested upon Patrick Lynch, and he was sent for
trial at the next arises.—Belfast News-Lettcr.
