BOROUGH HOP.
The supply of English hops on sale continues large.
For good and fine samples there is a steady demand, and
prices are fairly supported. Inferior parcels, however, are
a dull inquiry at drooping currencies. Foreign hops arrive
freely, and the trade for them, except for the finest parcels,
is in a sluggish state.

MURDER OF A CUSTOMS OFFICER AT LIVERPOOL.

- - •
—A murder of a shocking nature was committed in
the neighbourhood of Staithdown-lane, Liverpool, on Wed-
nesday evening, the victim being a Custom-house officer
named Henry Treeby. It appears that, after finishing his
duties for the day, the deceased left the office at half-past
four in the afternoon on his way homewards. Nothing
was seen or heard of him afterwards until a police officer,
who, about half-past five p.m. was going towards Shiel-
street, discovered the dead body of Treeby lying on the
right-hand side of the pathway. Death had been caused
by suffocation. The face presentad a, livid appearance ;
there was a deep wound over the left eye, and a slight
contusion on the forehead over the now. On the neck,
however, there were evident signs that deceased had been
strangled, as under each ear there was a deep black
mark, while blood issued from the nostrils and mouth.
When the deceased left the Custom House ho had in his
possession about £1 7s, a silver watch, and a gold guard;
but, when he was found, his pockets had been rifled and his
watch and guard stolen. The deceased generally carried
some ill or £l5 about with him, and plunder is supposed
to have been the motive of the murderers. Before leaving
business, Treeby placed upwards of £l4 in a desk in his
office, and it is therefore conjectured that his murderer or
murderers had some knowledge of the amount of money
which he was likely to have with him. The clothes of de-
ceased bore no marks of any severe struggle having taken
place, though the knees of his trousers were covered with
dirt, and his shirt collar and neckcloth much disarranged.
The deceased who was only 35 years of age, leaves behind
,
him a wife and five children. Treeby was much liked among
his brother officers, and was known to be a man of a quiet
and kindly nature.
