A• paragraph appeared in a morning paper, yesterday,
stating, that a soldier was iu the custody of two Bow-street
Officers, en a charge of being. the caliber end murderer of
Mr. Joachim, in a field leading to Connie-a-Town, and that
the suspicion was strengthened by one of his Rogers being
shot anal, which was supposed to have been done at
the tone lie mordired Mr. JOILCIIIIII j alit. II is extremely er-
ror.roes. We much laacet it, as Mr. J.'s relatives awl ft knots
'apposed the intudeier was detected; and, therefore, deem it
necrossiy to state, that a eireamstauca of a suspicions na-
ture has been nailer the investigation of the Magistrates for
assent' slays past, whichdid not finish till 3 haniday creniag.
The fact is, no man has been in custody ; hat the following
taw and circumstances here been most strictly investigated

by the 3lagivtratcs :-
IMA/rotation was received at the Oflire, on Monday, that a
man had applied at the Westminster Hospital f.r anrgieal
assistance, inconsequence of the top of the middle finger of
his left band being shot MT, and the seettant be ease of the
accident was thought rather ii linsbable. Mr. Rein seat
Pestles to coaverse with the man, and to request him to
attend, which he very readily agreed to. The *mum he
pre of himself to Mr. Ra•n was, that his name wee George
Juice, a carver and gilder; that he winked for Me. Jewel, a
few weeks since. Ou the tyttli of Mai., lie culisied into the
afath regiment of foot, with Reticent w eta', at the Coach and
Horses public house, Kin-street, %Vestster ; and since
that time, be bad received nine 'einem bounty, all of which
he had *neat, except a fe.i halfper.cc. He was out all Friday
night, and on Saturday he wept to take a walk ht the field*, at
the hack of Mary-imbutine, when fielding himself much fa-
tigued, ha lay dims his a Sold near the Jew's Harp public-
house, aad west to sleep.; when he awoke, he turned himself
over to the contrary side to that which he wart elceptug on,
and observed a pistol; he took it up, and after examining it,
(whether he rocked it or uot, he could not tell,) it neat lie
by accident, sail shot off his auger. lie was so much dis-
pleased with himself fur meddling with the pistol, that be
threw it away. He hound his lager up iu Via haitilkamhicf.
The firm perem he saw was an old woman, who sells fruit
end caked iv that neipliboneneyd. He told her of Lis arch
dent, and 'hewed her his wowed. His description of ihe
etunsiarice, and where it bappeaed being mar the spot when
Mr. Joachim was moldered, roads it rather mysteramia
however. Scriaant Weill. proved Vie sonectaess of his suite-
meet, as to los having enlisted-with him, and that oa Friday
he had dined in his company and that of a corporal, and on
that day he advanced him a ii. note he then left the Coach
and Homes public-haute, at which time he bad so weemil
su
his lingers. This at-fount being perfectly satisfactory, or
course he was not detained. I amitiries were afterwards made
of the out worrial. alto sold fruit and cakes near the field
where lie found the pistol, and she confirmed hie statement,
and recollected hearing the disehaige of the pistol.
On Saturday evening two labouriug men foetid a pistol
near the above spot ; un Wednesday, hy the advice of tbeir
neighbours, they took it to. Mi. G the Sitting
Magistrate at the Office, and described to the Magistrate
the place ;lees they had found it.
On Thursday afternoon the soldier, in company with
Litnbeirick, be desire •of Mr- G•tAIIAM' *tut to the spin
where the laboatiog men'eaid Stay had found it, when the
'edifier said, to the of his recirile( lion, that was the place
where he threw it sway, sod it was the same pistol. • •auther
confirmation of tits innocence of the soldier, was, the
bullet
whkh killed Mr Joachim must have been from a berm pis-
te!, and monist sot enter thelpietol thrown away by the sol-
i:it r, it been a very small one, tatty about three hooles and
a half long.
have thought it ma-misers thes fully to enter into the
pinto nisei of the ievestiption, to satisfy the naiads of the
relatives tad that public at liege.
