7,000 pram celled as the Bow-street Police-etation to
Moppet the chair found in the carpet bag along with the

that it had jest ccthe to hie knowledge that •

horrible death. The Folks were at once despatched to melee

learnd. of lam op to last night. lie was stated to be alines
man, given to intemperate habit., and in the constant wee-
tith of visiting the houses on the Surrey side of the water.
Amongst others engaged in making inquiries, with • view
to discovering the murderers, ie that active inapector of the
L divi ion,Mr. Young. who took Bacon into custodrz
suspicion of murdering his mother at Stamford. 'fleas
°dicer, amongst other inquiries in questionable stessis,
as to whether the neighbours had seen any one lean with •
thrust bag any of the houses on the Thursday night, is in-
quiring of the chaadlershop-keepers in the suspected neigh-
bourhood whether they had sold any unusual quantity of salt
to • suspicious character, se it is quite apparent that • large
quantity moat have been used to so thoroughly pickle the
body. It is also proposed that inquiries should be made at
the different laundry eetablialin. it. in London, for if the
deceased was • single man, it taloa be possible, owing to the
odd buttons being on tbo band the elastic drawers, and
especially as one was sewn on wah twine, and the other a
metal one, the laundries might be able to do much se far as
the identifioatica is concerned.

A very strong eimpition exists that the murder was cow
mined in or near Granby-street, in the Waterloo-ronl, end
that the carpet beg, containing the remain* and clothing,
was passed on to the liouth-Western Railway, and taken
from thence down the steps leading over the waste piece of
round ie the York-road, and from there over Weatruinstem
bridge, round Charing-er.a to Waterloo-bridge. Although
the most vigilant inquiries have been made in OnotLy-street,
Francis-street, Wesuuiaster-road, and several other streets
as bed as any in Lambeth, it cannot be discovered that any
moon gauntly ring to those places is missing, or that any
person on the night in question was aeon to !cove with a
carpet bag.
A startling communication wee made at Bow-street Fo-
lic-station yen/allay, but whether it haa anything to do
with the murder, of tours* it is impossible fur tie to say.
A gentleman called about noon, and stated to the Inspector
on duty that *event days time, as he wee panting through
Be. Churchyard, ha had his attention directed to a
quantity of blood which he traced along the pavement as far
as the corner of Farringdon-statet, and thought it possible
that the man might have been stabbed in the City, and, on
removing the body, the blood might bare run from the punc-
tured wounda.
