A

attended the sitting of the Corps Legislatif the same day.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—Exeter was
terrified on Friday morning by the report that W.
Wreford, Esq., of Clannaborough, had been found mur-
dered near the Canal Basin last evening. He had 871.
with him in notes and cheques in the afternoon, but not
a shilling was found on him when the body was dis-
covered. It appears that about a quarter before six the
same afternoon, a tall elderley gentleman, with a cloak,
and carrying a stick and umbrella, was noticed by some
men working at the new gas works, at the Exeter Basin,
to pass down the road in front of the gas works, in the
direction of the Haven Banks. Several yards behind
the gentleman, a female was seen. She was supposed
by her appearance to be a country girl. Her dress in-
dicated rather humble circumstances. It was noticed
that her gown was pulled over her shoulders to protect
her from the rain ; she wore an ordinary worsted
shawl. About ten minutes after this, Mr. Stamp, a car-
penter, who has a workshop and yard close adjoining,
and saw
same a
b
heard a female screaming.e
n Heo ran
woman, who, there can doubt, out,
was
female who had been noticed by the men at the gas-
works. She cried out that her uncle was in the water,
and appeared to be in great distress. Stamp instantly
got his grapling irons ; other men came to his assistance.
At the first throw, the cloak was hauled out, and within
a very few minutes a lifeless body was taken out, which
proved to be that of the deceased. There are some cir-
cumstances still to be disclosed, which seemed to indi-
cate that the death was not accidental, but that a foul
murder has been perpetrated. The woman who was
seen following the deceased, who gave the alarm, and
who stated that deceased was her uncle, accompanied
the corpse to Powlesland, and there affected to be over-
whelmed with grief, and succeeded in making her escape.
She has not been heard of since.
