A great horror has been excited by the foul mur-
der of a National schoolmaster named Fitzhenry,
near his own house within a few miles of New Ross, The
deed is described by the Wexford papers as one of " brutal
and fiendish atrocity," The victim was found on Sunday
morning in a lane quite dead with his skull battered in and
hia brains scattered about, surrounded with blood.
MUTILATED BODY OF A YOUTH IN THE REGENT'S
CANAL.--An adjourned inquiry was concluded on
Wednesday by Dr. Lankester, in the board-room of Mary-
leboneWorkhouse,relative to the discovery of the mutilated
dead body of Charles Hewitson, aged 16. It appeared that
the deceased was an errand boy to a tailor and clothier, in
Newcastle-street, Edgware-road, and on last Saturday three
weeks he left his place as usual, without any notice of his
intended absence. He left home on the previous Monday
morning, under his parents' impression that he was going
to work, and at the time he had Is. 6d. in his pocket. He
was not, however, again seen or heard of until his dead
body on the following Saturday was turned up by a steam-
tug in the Regent's Canal, near the mouth of the Maida -
hill Tunnel, and from thence removed to the workhouse.
The father there identified the body, and said s
afraid of the water. Mr. W. F. Fuller, the rehslicid:n"lt sur-
geon, described the body as having several wouturt3 uopnoliate,
with both arms fractured, and a sharp
elbow, There was also a flint stone andinsoteepgra

was believed that be had formiveant,
who was then on the
with his master's female
street. Several boys were examined,se their testimony being
to the effect that deceased had told them he we. going to
and that he carried a bottle of nie4icine
steesevreeohyis place,
about with him. On the Sunday before he was
missed he said to a boy " I shall not be long with Mr.
Byford (his master), for I intend to put an, end to my life."
He was asked why,
when he replied .‘ Nothing particular"
.
There being no further evidence, the Coroner pointed out to
the jury that there were three points connected with the
case, namely, that death was the result of accident, suicide,
or by the act of some other person, but on neither of which
they had any distinct evidence. Ultimately the jury returned
a verdict—" That the deceased died from suffocation by
drowning, but how he came into the water there was no
evidence to show,"
