HORRIBLE MURDER.

At a late hour on Wednesday night a most fearful murder
was committed at the Lion Tavern, New Cattle Market,
the victim being a female of the name of Terry, a house-
maid in the service of Mr. Keeble, the landlord. The mur•
derer was an under waiter, of the name of Charles Buck-
well, and it appeared that he was desperately in love with
this young woman.
The murdered woman was heard to scream, and on the
nephew of the landlord going up stairs he found Buckwell
on the third landing with a long knife in his hand. Buck-
well exclaimed that he had killed the cleceateA, on which he
was seized and de,ained in custody.
Mr. George Tull, surgeon, of 65, Camden•road-villas,
was called by the inmates of the public-house, and he
found the deceas,d dead from an incised wound in the
left breast, extending through the lungs and penetrating
the heart.

It would appear that the deceased and the young man
had walked together, and it is said that a fellow servant (a
female) had dissuaded the deceased from going out with
him.

Inspector Richardson, of the N division, was early on the
spot, and he took Buckwell into custody. From what he
could ascertain it would appear that Buckwell had gone to
bed, and that after he had been in bed some time he got up
and hid himself on the stairs before he perpetrated the
deed. At the station he said, " I did do it. I loved the
girl, and that's the reason I did it." He exhibited great
indifference, and did not seem to carp any thing about the
matter.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER.
Yesterday, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, before
Mr D'Eyncourt, Frederick Charles Bucknell, aged 23, who
was described on the charge sheeTas an under waiter, was
charged with causing the death of Jane Terry by stabbEng
her in the heart with a butcher's knife. The prisoner ap-
pears younger than he is described, and his appearance is
rather of a mild character. His eyes had a peculiar stare
about them, and he seemed to feel his position very acutely.
Inspector Richardson, N division, was in attendance to
watch the case on behalf of the Commissioners of Police.
Henry Keeble was the first witness called. He stated
that he managed the business of his uncle, 11r Keeble; at
the Lion public-house, New Cattle Market. The prisoner
was under waiter there, and had been emlloyed there for
two years. Last night, about a quarter-past 11, he heard
screams on the staircase, and on going up stairs he met the
prisoner coming down. He had a knife in his hand, and
said, " I have done it, Master Henry ; I have killed her."
He took the knife from him, and said, "You scoundrel,
come down stairs." The prisoner went down stairs, and
he then gave him into the custody of a gentleman in the
bar. The knife, which was about eighteen inches long,
and very sharp, was covered with blood. That knife was
used in the kitchen. The prisoner and the deceased, as far
as he knew, had been on very good terms together.
Mr D'Eyncourt—Had there been an attachment between
the deceased and the prisoner ?
Witness—There had been. That was about seven
months ago.
The prisoner said in a firm tone that he did not wish to
ask the witness any question.
William Gardener, the head waiter, said he knew the
prisoner and the deceased as servants in the employ of Mr
Keeble. Last night he was in front of the bar sweeping,
when he heard a loud and long scream, coming from the
top of the house. Seeing the previous witness going up
stairs he followed and saw Mr Keeble having hold of the
prisoner. He rushed past, and before reaching the next
landing he saw the deceased fall. She was bleeding very
much from a wound in the left breast. He could see the
wound.
Isar D'Eyncourt—Did she live long?
Witness—No; he believed that she was dead when he
picked her up, She did not speak or groan. The only sign
of life she gave was an endeavour to draw her breath, but
this she failed in.
Mr D' tyncourt—Have you observed that the prisoner
was paying his addresses to the deceased ?
Witness—No. I thought there was nothing more than
joking between them.
Mr D'Eyncourt—Have you seen anything about the pri-
soner that would have led you to suppose that he intended
anything of this sort ?
Witness—No. He had seen a young man come to the
house, whom he understood was paying his addresses to the
young woman.
Mr George Tate, member of the Royal College of Sur-
geons, said he was called to examine the deceased. He
found her deluged in blood. On feeling her pulse and exa-
mining her he found her quite dead. She was still warm.
He was told she had been stabbed, and on examining her
he found an incised wound on the upper part of the left
breast. The orifice was about an inch and a half or two
inches in depth. He put his finger into the wound and
found that the knife had passed through the left lung into
the back of the heart. He could feel the heart. (Sensation.)
He could feel the heart with hie linger, He pushed his
finger in as far as he could. He had no doubt the wound
was immediately fatal,
Mr D'Eyncourt—Could the wound have been inflicted
with such a knife as that produced ?
Witness—Yes; it is just such a knife as would inflict
such a wound.
Mr D'Eyncourt.--Would it require much force to inflict
such a wound ?
Witness—Yes, it would require considerable force.
Mr D'Eyncourt asked if the deceased was a robust young
woman !
Witness—Yes, and she was a very fine young woman,
and full of flesh.
Charles Hill, the boots, gave confirmatory evidence, and
said that he left the prisoner in his bedroom about 20 minutes
before this occurred. He then bade him good night, and the
prisoner said, " Oh, I might come down again." A few
minutes afterwards he saw the prisoner with a knife in his
hand, and he said he had done it. Last Sunday fortnight the
deceased came home with her cousin, and the prisoner then
said " that is the man (meaning the cousin) that has broken
my peace of mind." The deceased and the prisoner had
been very partial to one another, but not so much of
late. He did Lot think that the prisoner contemplated
anything of this sort. The deceased wished him " Good
night" two or three minutes before he heard the scream.
He had heard the prisoner say that he was very fond of the
deceased, and that he would have her and no one else.
Police-constable George Norris, 220 N, said that about
half-past 11 last night he was called into the Lion Tavern,
and the prisoner, who was in front of the bar, was given into
my custody on a charge of stabbing his fellow-servant. He
told him the charge, and he said, " I will tell you all about
it." He told him it was his duty to caution him against
making any statement. He was not obliged to say
anything, but what he did say might be heard in evi-
dence against him. He said, " She is the only girl that
ever I liked ; and poor girl she has got it, and I hope
she will die." A gentleman came into the room and
said "She is dead." The prisoner remarked, "I would
rather that she is dead than that any one else should have
her." After that he (witness) went up stairs with inspec-
tor Richardson, and on the second staircase found a broach
which was covered with blood.
Mr D'Eyncourt—Did the prisoner say anything about
the knite?
Witness—No.
Mr D'Eyncourt—Was there any blood on the prisoner's
hands or clothes ?
Witness—l did not observe any. Tho prisoner did not
seem much excited.
Inspector Thomas Richardson, of the N division, said
that last night he went to the Lion publichouse. He re-
ceived from Mr Keeble the knife produced. The knife was
covered with blood. On his reading the charge over to the
prisoner ho said, " I did do it. I loved the girl, and that
was the reason why I did it." He (witness) wrote these
words down at the time. In the prisoner's box be found a
portrait of the deceased. The portrait was in a fancy case,
and had been carefully preserved.
Mr D'Eyncourt asked if any of the witnesses knew that
the deceased had given the prisoner her likeness.
All the witnesses answered in the negative.
The prisoner, who treated the matter with the greatest
indifference, was then remanded.
Mr D'Eyncourt inquired if the friends of the deceased
had been communicated with.
Mr John Richardson said the friends of the deceased re-
sided at Dereham, in Norfolk, and he would communicate
with them. The prisoner has a father but no mother. The
prisoner asked that his aunt, Mrs Bishop, of 11, Lion-
square, Whitechapel, might be communicated with, The
prisoner's father had visited him at Mr Keeble's ; but the
prisoner had stated that he had had to support himself for
the last ten years.

AN ELOPEMENT AND ITS FINALE.—At the
Preston Police-court onWednesday, a young man of
respectable exterior, named James Rogerson, was placed in
the dock under the following circumstances :—Mr Watson,
solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the
prisoner had been apprehended under a warrant for stealing
a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to the father of a
girl he had eloped with, and for running way from his wife
and children and causing them to be chargable to the
Preston union. He was a:raid the first charge could not be
supported, but there could be no doubt as to his being guilty
of the second. The prisoner was formerly a cotton opera-
tive, but had recently been an auctioneer's clerk. William
Shacklady, residing in Peel-street East, Preston, deposed
that on Monday, May 23, ho went away from home. lie
left his daughter, a girl 19 years old, behind in charge of
the house. When he returned on the Saturday following
he found that his daughter had gone, and she had taken with
her a large quantity of wearing apparel, including dresses,
shawls, scarfs, &c. A melia Shacklady, the girl in question,
was then examined. She appeared quite cool after her
escapade, and neither blushed nor hesitated in giving her
evidence. She said—l am 19 years old. The prisoner
persuaded me to go from home. He took my clothes, and
we went to Barrowein-Furness. The articles of wearing
apparel produced were bought by my father. Inspector
Withers said he apprehended the prisoner at Barrow on
Saturday evening last. The clothes produced were in a
box in his sleeping room. Mr. Blackhurst, who appeared
for the prosecution—And in her sleeping room too, I sup-
pose ? Mr. Withers—Yes, I suppose so. Miss Shacklady
—No, not in my sleeping room. (A laugh,) The ma-
gistrates, after considering the case, said they were
afraid the evidence would not warrant them in •com-
witting the prisoner for felony. Two or three
of the officers connected with the union were
then examined relative to the charge against the prisoner
of neglecting his wife and children, They proved that
since the prisoner eloped his wife and family had become
chargeable to and had been relieved out of the funds of the
parish. It was also proved that on the day the prisoner
left home with Miss Shacklady he gave a letter to one of
his children, with instructions for the same to be handed
over to its mother. The following is a copy of the epistle :
"this here is to crtefy that I ham gone to America and all
tha slander as might go. Tell that I ham able to stand hit
all, for wet tha eye dose not se the hart dose not never
greve thou has had a dela to say about me going of and
Doing about mee and now have tha chance to try your

failing us, and while we were still a couple of miles
t
from camp, I observed a troop of monkeys crowded together
on a tree which overhung a clump of long grass, bounding
from branch to branch in a state of great agitation, scream-
ing, chattering, and making hideous grimaces, as if half
enraged and half terrified at the sight of some object be-
neath them. " What is the matter with these monkeys?"
I inquired of my guide in Hindostanee. "It is a tiger
probably," he replied, puffing away at his cheroot a ith
the most perfeot coolness, and striding along as if it
were all a matter of course. " The devil it is I" said
I, thunderstruck at the coolness of the young rascal—
for the path we were pursuing being bounded on each side
by impenetrable jungle, obliged us to pass within a few
yard. of the haunted thicket—and cocking both barrels of
my rifle, I stepped out at my beet pace to escape from the
dangerous neighbourhood as quickly as possible. We had
just passed the thicket, and were making a short turn round
the end of it ; when, to my utter dismay, I found myself
off a royal tiger,
a wild hog he

face to face, and within twenty yards,

the fase-nation of the human eye, he gradually with-
drew the paw,
removing
which jealously clutched his prey,
crouched together, as if appalled by the steady gaze of the
savage, turned slowly round, and uttering a sulky
growl, slunk away into the long grass. No sooner
was his back turned, then Mohadeen, clapping his hands to
his mouth, sent forth that peculiar wild yell, which appears
to strike terror to the heart of the most savage animal, and
we instantly heard the stealthy tread of the tiger change to
a bounding gallop, as he fled in dismay from that unearthly
cry. "We have made him eat dirt," remarked the young
savage, coolly picking up his cheroot, replacing it in the
corner of his mouth, and walking off as if nothing remark-.
able had happened. We now set off towards camp at a
round trot, for the short twilight of the tropics was fading
rapidly, and my guide, although he affected to despise
tigers by daylight, was perfectly aware they were not to be
trifled with after nightfall. We reached the tents without
further venture ; and I confess I was not a little glad when
we came in sight of our cheerful camp fires.—Col. Camp-
