UNION HALL

Sarah Wynne, a decent looking soling woman, was brought
before Mr. EV:11114', charged by Mr. Turner, a Pawnbroker,
in the Borough, with attempting to defraud him. It appeared
that the prisoner, oa Thurslay went into Mr. Turner's shop,
and offered a silk cloak to plelige, demanding a pound-note
nom, it ; Mr. 'Fortier offered her 11. a hick she refused, mid
Mr. Turner wrapt the cloak tap again as before in a piece of
coarse cloth, and returned it to her ; she turned round as if to
gait the shop, Ind came hack again to the minter, and roting
down the parcel, said she roust have the I Is. and lir. rimier
accordingly gave her that sum, lint on taking up the parcel he
saw a corer of the silk, which appeared &Herein to the cloak
which he had 'moire ekaminett. 'lois induced him to look at it
again, when he discovered that the prisoner had with consi-
derable de‘terity substituted another parcel, precisely the
:ante in appearance, In the place of the cloak. '1'111• parcel
now (Meted contained nothing more than a parcel of rags.
The cloak was found upon her. Several pas'obrokcaa have
been defrauded in a similar way. The prisoner refused to
give any aceonct and was committed for re-examina-
tion on Wednesday next.

Mali MAI 1V ONFOR MU In F.—On Wednesday Ilight, at most
barbarous manioc was committed at a lone house near Shab-
biugton 1t on Burks, a few miles from Thome, in this county.
,Thos. Reason, who was committed in December last to our gaol
for sheep-stealing, but &seliarged at our assizes for want of
evidence, called at Mrs. Yorke's, an r Wetly WittOW lady, who
was attended he o female about tweniyahree yeats of age, a dis-
tort relation, about seven o'cloek in the evening. Ilc entered
into conversation with Mrs. Yorke on various subjects, and at
Icagth said that he wanted money, and hoped she would fat nisi)
bin with same. She said she (mold not give hint any. Ile then
drew a large clasped knife, .cad immecliwely :marked her, and
cut her 'Moat at first slightly.. in coasequence of her residence.
The girl dA every thing she possibly could to prevent leis nefa-
rious design, and ut length succeeded in taking the knias from
him; but unfortunately he espied a large knife in the room,
which was used far ki;;hog pigs ; this he seized, anal w ith it al-
most separated Mrs. Vorke's head from her body, in COW-
qilence of which she instantly died. The villain also struck
Mrs. Yorke several tunes over the head with a wooden liar dur-
ing the contest, so that her skull N% ati fractured. He then at-
tacked the young and cut her throat in two places, and
wounded her securely iu the head with the bar. Each cut in
her throat is more than five inches in length, lint fortunately
did not sever the w indripe. Her skull is bate in many piace,.
by the viol( nee of the blows from the bar, anal she was left, as
Reason supposed, completely dead. lie then went rap stairs to
rifle the rooms, well knowing alt:.re the property was kept. In
the mean time the girl recovered her senses, and escaped from
the house to Mr. Griffin's, on Oakly-common, where she made
known the lousiness. She fainted several iinWSllll the way, mid
with great difficulty arrived there by an unfrequented path, in
order to avoid the possibility of Reason's overtaking her. As
soon as she got into the house she again fainted, and on her re-
covering her senses she related the horrid tale, and several
vrsons were got together. They proceeded to the house,
here they toned Mrs. Yorke in the situation we have described.
Iu consequence of the information of the girl, titer then went
to tin house of Reason's father, which is about hale a mile from
Mrs. Yorke's, anal inquired for him. The father said, he did
nut know where he was; but they made strict search forint'',
mid at length found him up the chimney. They immediately
took him into custody, and his is now coidined rat Oakley, until
the Coroner's Impiest is taken on Mrs. Yorke's body.--
Mr. King, surgeon, of Mill, was sent for to attend the girl
(Elizabeth Hawes), who hinnediately sent for Mr. Hitching% of
Oxford, alto did every thing that could he dome for her. Slo-
e. now in a very dangerous state, although hopes are entertained
of her recovery. Reason has since declared, that two other
peanut were roncerned with Lim in the moonier, who are in,
custody ; but from the evidence of the gin I, trod tither circum-
stances, this does not appear at all probable.
