Thursday he was informed that the dead body of a female

stable at the Robin Hood public-house. I3e proceeded there
and found the body, which bore marks of violence upon
it. He communicated with the coroner, and he after-
wards apprehended Clarke on suspicion. He told the man.
he was a police officer, and that he could answer his ques-
tions or not, as he pleased, but that which he said might
be used in evidence. He_ asked him if he had heard
of the body of the woman being found, in the hay-
field at Penge, and he replied " Yes, I have heard
of it." He said he was with the woman on
Tuesday last, but that he had left her at the canal bridge
about 7 or half-past. Ile denied having been to the Robin
Hood public-house, but said, when he left her, she went on
with led. He thea took him into custody on suspicion of
being concerned in the death of the woman, who was known
about Penge as a hawker. She was of drunken and dissi-
pated habits. He had examined the clothes of Clarke, but
found no marks or spots of blood on them.
Sergeant Thomas, of the A division, said he apprehended
Turner at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Penge. He told
him he was an officer of police, and in reply to questions
prisoner said he had just come from home. He said he
went away in consequence of a policeman speaking to him,
in the brickfield about the murder, and being chaffed by his
mates. He was aware of the finding of the body of 'Jae
murdered woman, and said he, in company with Clarke, was
with her on the 14th. He said he left them at the canal
bridge a quarter before nine. He wished Clarke good
night, and then went on with the woman as far as
the Maple•road and left her. He denied going with the
woman and Clarke to the Robin Hood. He got back to his
led gings about ten o'clock. He denied seeing Clarke after
he had left him at nine o'clock on Tuesday.
Mr C. Wood, surgeon, at Penge, said last Thursday
morning he was called to the Robin Hood, and in the stable
he saw the dead body of a woman. There were marks of
violence apparent. She died from suffocation. The appear-
ances indicated that she had been forcibly held down.
There not being any marks on the trachea would be ac-
counted for by the throat of the deceased being grasped by
the hand ; but even had there been pressure it would not of
necessity leave any visible mark internally or externally.
Police-constable 276 and another witness proved finding
the body
After some further examination the prisoners were re-
manded.
