MATRICIDE AND SUICIDE.

(From the Bents Mercury.)

On Tuesday morning the body of a female was
found in the New River, at Cheshunt, which appa-
renty had been but a short time in the water. A
white handkerchief was tied over her face and bon-
net ; and on Wednesday morning a Jury assembled
at Cheshunt, to inquire into tire facts of the case.
Upon searching the pockets of the deceased, an old
pocket-book, a bodkin-case, two keys, a pair of spec-
tacles, and 11 id. in money, were found; and upon
examination of the contents of the pocket-book, it
appeared that the body was that of Mrs. Mary
Worrill, a widow lady, residing at Hoddesdon, 72
years of age. A messenger was despatched to the
residence of the deceased, and the female servant
soon afterwards attended, and being sworn stated,
that she lived with the deceased and her daughter,
Mary Hatton Kimpton, about six months ; that the
deceased had been ill for some time, and confined
up stairs. On Monday evening Mrs. Kimpton said
to witness, upon a return from an errand iuto the
town, that herself and mother were obliged to go up
the London-road, to meet a person who was afraid
to come to the house, to receive some money of him.
Witness let them out at the door, arid Mrs. Kimpton
desired her to take care of the house, and if any
thing happened to them, to drown the cat. This
-observation, the witness stated, excited some sur-
prise in her mind, and she said to Mrs. Kimpton,
that she hoped nothing was the matter. Mrs.
Worrill said to her daughter that she thought it
would be the death of her going out in such a night,
and Mrs Kimpton desired her to wrap herself up
warm. At the time she went out she had a white
handkerchief round her neck, and had her muff.
Witness stated that she was much surprised that
they did not return home, and sat_ up till four
o'clock, but thought they might have gone to Lon-
don, arid would return in the morning, Heard no-
thing of either of them till sent for by the Corner.
She stated that the deceased and her daughter had
been in much trouble lately, about the daughter's
husband ; and the daughter was very low and de-
jected the whole of Monday. Witness identified
the body, and all the things found in the pocket of
Mrs. Worrill ; and the handkerchief. The muff wag
found some distance from the body.
The CORONER summed up the facts, and in the
absence of any evidence, the Jury returned a ver-
dict of " Found drowned."

Upon its being known that the daughter was also
missing, some gentlemen at Hoddesdou commenced
dtagging the New River from Broxbourne church,
when the drag stopped against something, which
proved to be the body of Mro. Kitupton. It was
immediately conveyed to the White Horse, Worm-
ley, and at four o'clock the Coroner and another
Jury proceeded to hold an inquest upon it. The
same evidence was given as upon the case of the
mother, and the Jury returned a similar verdict of
" Found drowned." Nothing was found upon the
deceased to elucidate the dreadful tragedy, 'and it
was generally supposed that they had both agreed
to commit suicide, in consequence of their domestic
troubles, but there were circumstances which in-
duced an opinion that the daughter had first drowned
her mother, and afterwards herself.

Since the inquests were held, two scrape of paper
have been found in the house, in the daughter's
hand-writing, which confirm the dreadful imp-es-
sion that she did drown her mother and herself;
and from the position of the arms of the daughter,
when found. it would seem that she pushed against

her mother; and went into the water with her.
An umbrella has also since been found near the
Iron-bridge, leading from Hoddesdon to Broxbourne
church. The body of the mother had floated nearly
seven miles, and that of the daughter two.
The following are copies of the scraps of paper
above alluded to, which lead to the opinion that the
daughter's mind was in a state of aberration :

"-I beguiled my beloved parent out to die with me, for
I found - had - and made me, without knowing
it. - Let all be sold to pay my mother's debts, and a
grave large enough for me and my mother. I long * *
" M. H. K."

" My father waits for us.
" I beguiled my mother. I shall a • * because

I found the • out he denied our marriage, though
I gave 101. to have it private. The man died a year after.
To Caine Cheffins.—After all are paid, keep the rest.
Pray kill my cat easy. Angels wait us together."

We understand that the New Police will be
speedily introduced in the city, upon the proposition of
Alderman Woon, seconded by Mderman THOMPSON.

BRADFORD.—There is perhaps no town in
the West Riding of Yorkshire that bears such decided
marks of increase and improvement as Bradford, the me-
tropolis of stuff and worsted trade.—Manchester Advert.

HUDDERSFIELD.—The manufacturers of
Huddersfie:4 are looking forward to more trade and a
greteer price. We understand that foreign wools of a low
and middling description have advanced materially in Lon 7
don, in the course of the last few days; English wo.ls
have also risen shout 10s. per pack ; and there 'e'-'6.41-.4
tolerable demand for low c:oths. We -wish Vil! CdUkl add
that wages were likewise advancing...--,Anotl.‘x -account
says that at Huddersfield mar! et, on rather less
business WAS done than on the two previous market days.
The demand for coarse wools, however, continues steady ;
they have experienced a considerable advance in price,
whilst the finer wools are in like demand at low prices
Th, priccipaliwoollen mills in the town and neighbourhood
are in full work, though profits and wages are still most
inadequate. In the fancy trade, in ;he neighbourhood of
the town, no improvement can be noted. The whole po-
pulation continues in a state of abject misery and want ;
and, at present, there is certainly no prospect of any
improvement in their painful condition.--Nanchester
Advertiser.

ters; also Mrs. Sweetland, the lady of Captain Sweet-

A kind of protest and petition to Parliament
is at present in course of signature at York,. originating,
not in a public meeting, but in some " hale and corner;
in which the 'distress of the country is described as.'f uuir
versa!, unabated, and appalling." Every-body.who knotVs
any thing of the matter, knows that such a document is
undiscriminating and injudicious, and is likely to prove
unavailing. Why not meet the subject fairly at once, anti
go to a county meeting in Yorkshire, as well .as in other
counties? We do not mind how loud and how incessant

the demand for economy and retrenchment is, the more
loud and persevering the better, but let it be open-and
without exaggeration.—Leeds Mercury. - ;
