ATROCIOUS MURDER IN ST. GILES'S.

Some time yesterday, probably midday, a murder of the
most atrocious character was perpetrated in George-street,
St. Giles, one of the worst neighbourhoods in the metro-
polis. It became familiar to the public about 18 months
ago, in consequence of an attempt by a cabman to get a
young woman, who had been drugged, and who had been
his fare, into one of the brothels there, whom he afterwards
robbed of her clothes and all the little articles of property
she had about her. In consequence of the resistance offered
by the person who was in charge of the house the cabman
was prevented from carrying out the worst part of his
design, and the disturbance occasioned the capture of the
fellow, who was afterwards punished for his brutal conduct.
The circumstances connected with the murder which
took place in the same wretched locality are not at the time
we write this morning very fully developed, but it seems
that at about 7 o'clock yesterday morning a man and a
young woman, whose name was Emma Jackson, whose
friends are reported to reside in the neighbourhood of
Berwick-street, Soho, went to No. 4, George-street, the

door of which was opened by a servant whom their knock-

ing had aroused from her sleep. The girl, half asleep, did
not take particular notice of the two people, and on the
man asking for a bedroom, they were shown up to the back
room on the first floor. As there was perfect quietness in
the room during the day no suspicion of any kind was
aroused, but at about hall-past 5 last evening the servant
girl went up stairs, and finding the door unfastened went
in. On the bed she found lying the woman she had let in
the same morning, he throat frightfully cut, the bed all over
saturated with blJod, and the walls spattered with gore in
all directions. She immediately ran down and gave an
alarm to the police, and a medical man was instantly
sent for. On examination he found, in addition
to the frightful wound in the throat, which had
nearly severed the head from the body, a wound in the
front of the throat which bad severed the windpipe, and
was sufficient to cause death, another on the side of the
neck which had severed the carotid artery, and on the back
of the neck two other large stabs running obliquely towards
each other. All these had been inflicted with great force,
and it is very certain the girl had struggled desperately for
her life. No noise, however, was heard, a circumstance
which is all the more singular on account of their being
little coach traffic in the street. Moreover, the landlord,
whose practice it is to sit up all night, was sleeping all day
in the back parlour immediately under the room in which
the murder took place.

The man escaped, but by what means, or when, nobody
knows, but when the body of the murdered woman was
discovered life had become extinct, in, the opinion of the
surgeon, for six or seven hours at least. No instrument has
been found in the room, the man prior to his departure
collecting everything belonging to him so as to destroy all

trace of him. The woman appears to be about 28 or 30
years of age, and bad on when she same to George-street a
dark bonnet and mantle and a sort of green striped dress.
Of the man, as before stated, nothing whatever is known
although the police authorities say they have a clue which
they hope may turn out successful.

The body of the girl has been identified, and information
has been forwarded to Mr. Bedford, the coroner, who will
hold an inquest on the body of the murdered woman, pro-

bably this evening or to-morrow.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The deceased girl, Emma Jackson, resided with her
father and mother, in a little house immediately behind,
and connected with, 10, Berwick-street, Soho, a butcher's
shop, in the possession of Mr. Andrew Osborn. She is de-

scribed by those who knew her in the neighbourhood as a
quiet, peaceable girl, but as being occasionally given to ex-
cesses, She would remain at home for weeks, working
hard, and conducting herself respectably, but at times she
would, to use the language of her friends, "break out and
go with anybody," and absent herself from home for days
together. She was a shirtmaker, and in the pursuit of that
business earned a decent livelihood.

After one of herperiodical fits of irregularity she returned
to her home about three weeks ago, and again proceeded
with her ordinary calling until Tuesday last, when she
again absented herself from her parents' home never to re-
turn. On the spot we have this morning the following par-
-107
ticulars

About one o'clock this morning, long after Mr. Osborn
had retired to rest, he was aroused by a violent knocking
and ringing at his door. He was alarmed, and dressed him-
self as quietly as possible, when, on proceeding to the door,
ho found two girls standing outside, who communicated
to him some of the particulars of the murder of his
lodger. They told him that she had been murdered by
having her throat cut, and requested him to accompany
them to George-street, where the murder had been com-
mitted. He did not adopt that course, but went and com-
municated to Emma Jackson's parents the terrible informa-
tion he had received. The father and brother were called
and du'y proceeded with the police, who had by this time
arrived, to George-street, when the former identified the
body as that of their unfortunate daughter, who was 29.
The girls who had thus communicated the intelligence
said they were intimately acquainted with deceased, and
one of them said she had seen Emma Jackson early yester-
day morning in company of a foreigner who was having his
boots cleaned at the corner of Greek-street and Compton.
street, and that he had the appearance of one of the many
foreign bakers who live about the neighbourhood.

It appears that there was a murder at the same house,
No. 4, George•street, about 10 years ago, the perpetrator of
which was a man named Connor, and who was convicted
and executed.

OLD COURT.
(Before tho Recorder.)
THE MUTINY AT BLACKWALL.

Manuel Oliva, a Peruvian, and corporal of Marines on
board the Peruvian ship of war Arica, lying off Blackwall,
was indicted for the manslaughter of one Callegias, one of
the sailors belonging to the same ship, in the mutiny which
took place on board the hulk in which the sailors and ma-
rines were quartered on the night of the 19th of March last.
The jury, after a brief consideration, returned a verdict
of " Not Guilty."

The prisoner for some time was in a state of perplexity as
to the nature of the result, and was about to leave the dock
in custody of the officer, but on being called back, and the
verdict explained to him through an interpreter, be bright-
ened up with delight.

It is understood that the prisoner has been advised by
his counsel not to go on board ship again, and to resist
any attempt to capture him and take him on board. A
picket of soldiers, with the Peruvian Consul, are, however,
in attendance to secure him when he comes out of prison,
but the sheriffs, with the view of frustrating them, as the
unfortunate man would, it is said, be shot if he again got
into the power of the Peruvian authorities, intend to keep
him, and let him out privately, thereby giving him a chance
of escape.

Very little betting.

The evidence was interpreted by an interpreter, and
partly by the Peruvian Consul.

EMBEZZLEMENT.
Joseph Frederick Mason, a traveller to the firm of Jeffries
and Co., agents for Messrs. Basset, of Sheffield, wholesale
confectioners, was indicted and found guilty of embezzling
several sums of money, amounting to upwards of £4O, re-
ceived by him on account of his employers.—Sentenced to
18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.

BREAKING WORKROUSE WINDOWS.—Three woman
named Jane Gregory, Emma Cole, and Elizabeth Bradley,
were charged before Mr. Knox with demolishing nine panes
of glass, the value of 95., in. the windows of St. Martin's
workhouse.

Randall, the porter of the workhouse, proved hearing at
10 last night a smash of glass, and on going out saw the
prisoners throw some stones at the windows and break
them.

Mr. Knox asked the porter whether
,the prisoners had
applied to be admitted ?

Randall said they had, but he could notadmit them.
Mr. Knox asked how many 1 •
he had admitted ?
_ _ _

Randall said about 20, and that the prisoners used very
bad language, and had broken windows 'at the workhouse
before.

The prisoners, who had nothing to say; were ordered to
pay 10s. each, or 14 days.

THAMES.

The new magistrate, Mr. William Partridge, late stipen-
diary magistrate at Wolverhampton, who has been ap-
pointed to succeed Mr. Selfe, presided for the first time this
day, and proceeded to the despatch of business with great
alacrity. The new magistrate will find plenty to do at this
court. The district assigned to it contains a population of
350,000 persona.

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was
very moderate. The trade, however, both as regards red
and white produce, ruled heavy, but no change took place
in prices compared with Monday.

The show of foreign wheat was moderately extensive, and
all descriptions moved off slowly, on former terms.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a limited ex-
tent, at late rates.

The supply of English barley was small—of foreign,
moderate. 'I here was no activity in the demand for any
kind, yet prices ruled stationary.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at late rates.
The supply of oats was only moderate. All good and
fine parcels moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise,
the trade was dull.

Beans and peas—the supplies of which were small—
commanded very little attention at previous currencies.
Barrel flour moved off slowly, on former terms. Other
kinds ruled inactive, at late quotations.

Limited as has been the interest attaching to the sport
of the previous days, that of to-day has been even less
indeed, the meeting of Buckstone and Zetland in the after-
noon was quite refreshing, as a contrast to the second and
third-rate animals which had run in the Handicaps and
Plates during tho morning. The severe race run yester-
day by Buckstone disposed many to think that the last
year's Doncaster running would be reversed, and that Zet-
land would have an easy victery ; but, on the contrary,
Mr. Merry's horse won quite as easily as he was defeated
by Stradella. The tmpt omptu match made overnight be•

tween Bandage and Bay of Tunis caused also some little
excitement, as it was supposed that " Mr. Newland,"
though a little out of practice, was quite good enough in
the saddle to avoid neutralising the superiority which the
public form of Bandage was calculated to give. As it
turned out, however, Mr. Rowland slipped him at the start
fully 10 lengths, and never gave him the slightest chance.
With these two exceptions, it is quite needless to refer in
any way to the day's proceedings, which were witnessed by
a very small number of spectators.

the extreme rear, leaving the lead with Balder, who at the
turn of the lands was joined by Ellengowan and Harlequin,
the three coming on nearly abreast for a few strides, when
Mr. Ward's colt broke down badly and was eut of the race,
leaving Harlequin, Innellan, Canwell, Welcome, Citadel,
and Earl of Surrey in attendance upon Balder to the Duke's
Stand post, where he was beaten, and the lead left to Har-
lequin, who was followed on the lower ground by Innellan,
