MURDER OIT • Cann AT CANTIMBUITY.—Yestsr-
day afternoon Mr. T. T. Delman:, the city coroner at Clan-
terbury, held an inquiry touching the death of • female
child, found in • drain in the vicinity of the Dover-road,
under the following circumstances, which were stated in
evidence :—Robert Davison, • labourer, on Friday morning,
betwen two and three o'clock, while going alacrtiihe New
Dover-road, I. the direction of the village of when
near Mr. Collard's hop garden, heard • noise e that
of • dog whining in the drain by the side of the road ;
be paned on, and on returning at about eight o'clock the
drain was searched, and a child found apparently only • few
weeks ad.. It wee conveyed to the police station, and
shortly afterwards died. It was abort three feet in the
drain, and must have been pushed In bye stick, or some-
thing of the kind. There was a piece of black cobourg
round the body, and two pieces of tape, one piece round
the neck, and the other piece over the cloth. The tape
round the neck was tied tight. There was no clothing on
the child whatever. The medical evidence was to the effect
that death was caused by shock to the system through the
Long exposure of the child to the cold air. As far se nursing
went, the chill bore evidence of neglect. There were no
mark, of violence either internally or externally sufficient
to have mused the death of the child, or even to have
hastened its death. The jury returned an open verdict of
" wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."
A woman had been seen with the child on the Saturday
previous, but there was nothing to lead to her identite:
DESTRUCTION OF • RAILWAY STATION •Y FIRE.
—Badly on Monday morning • serious conflagration took
place at Paialev, which resulted in the complete destruction
of the goods shed, for the accommodation of the goods
traffic at the railway station, and of a number of vans and
ZlErafilled with • variety of valuable merchandise,
had arrived at the close of the week, chiefly
from the south. The flamed were first observed
about two o'clock am. The combustible nature of I
the building, which was almost entirely of wood, and
the highly inflammable nature of the material" contained
within it, rendered all attempts to suppress the lire totally
unavailing, and the effort.s of the firemen were from the
first content to the preservation of the passenger station,
in which they fortunately were succemful. At the outset
an attempt was made by the watchman at the station—a
man named Maodowan—to remove some of the trucks
which were standiog on the rails at the shed. Color.
Unmanly, while thus laudably exerting himself, the poor
fellow was severely injured, having been "quested between
two trucks by some parties who, like himself, ware
endeavouring to save some of the property in danger.
The destruction of property, not to speak of the sheds
themselves, is very serious, but in the meantime no approzi•
motion can be formed of the raluel toes
until the ine,.7,,M! are received. Altogether there were
eight waggons totally ilistinyed, and two partially. In one
of the vans there were some valuable Bradford goods ; a
second would appear to have been filled partly with power-
loom machinery ; other two were filled with Indian corn
meal, arid the remainder with a variety of merchandise.
To judge from the debris, awe of toys, no doubt intended
for the juveeiles at the fair this week, his been destroyed
among the rest. The shed, we understand, is insured in
the Caledonian Insurance, but the greatest proportion of
the loss sustained will fall upon the Glawlow and South
Western Railway Company, who insure themselves.—
