THE BRITISH MUSEUM —Sir Henry Ellis resigned his
responsible post as principal librarian to the British Museum
on Saturday last. The veteran has served the public faith-
fully for more than 50 years, during which time he has not
merely filled his office with satisfaction to men of letters,
but has made important additions to the great body of
documentary illustrations of English history.
On Sunday morning, shortly after two o'clock, a young
man named George Brown, aged 26 years, was stopped at
the corner of the Minories, Tower-hill, by two men and a
woman, who knocked him down with a life-preserver,
and after ransacking his pockets escaped. From his state-
ment it appears that the deceased had been with some
friends on the Surrey side of the water, where he re-
mained until a late hour, and while on the way
home, somewhat the worse for liquor, the two fellows
rushed upon him while he was talking to the female.
He was rendered insensible from the severity of the blow
on the head, and fell on the pavement, where he was dis-
covered by police constable 583, of the H division, bleed-
ing copiously from a severe lacerated scalp wound, five
inches in length, on the right side of the head. The
deceased's pockets were turned inside out, and his cash
(forming a portion of his wages) stolen by his assailants.
The officer immediately had the wounded man placed on
$ stretcher and carried to the Leman-street police-station,
where Inspector Marsh sent directly for the divisional
medical officer, who found the deceased suffering from
concussion of he brain, and an extensive laceration of
the scalp, which was the result of severe external vio-
lence. The necessary aid having been afforded that the
emergency of the case required, the poor fellow was
removed to the London Hospital, but the unfortunate
man expired at four o'clock, The parties who were
engaged in causing the death of the deceased are known,
and it is fully expected that Sergeant Foroy, the detective
officer of the H. division, will speedily apprehend them.
On Sunday night, about eight o'clock, Mary Constable,
aged 19, in the service of Mr. Notch, No. 15a, Sutherland-
street: South, Sutherland-square, Walworth, appeared at
the street door with a gash in her throat, from which the
blood was flowing. She cried out, " I am murdered."
Some persons passing by called the police*, several of whom,
with Mr. Price and Mr. Crisp, surgeons, residing in the
neighbourhood, were promptly on the spot. The wound
was found to be extensive, and the girl was removed to St.
Thomas's Hospital. She made the following statement :
That her master and mistress had gone to church, and
about seven o'clock the bell rang at the outer gate.
Upon her going to the door, she found it open. Three
persons were there, who, after some trifling remark,
rushed into the passage, overpowered her, and before she
could give any alarm threw her down the kitchen stairs.
A gag was then put into her mouth, and her face was
covered with a great coat. They left her in that condi-
tioreturned, n and then proceeded to rob the house, after which they
and she struggling a great deal to get free, one
of them passed his arm round her neck and cut her
with
something shsrp, inflicting also a deep gash 011 her hand m
which she used to ward off the knife. One of the
also gave her a violent kick in the side, which rendered
her insensible, in which state she remained for nearly an
hour. The police, on examinin4 the premises, discovered
