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 ebe
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 her periodical fits of irregularity she returned
to hor 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-
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,
he 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 duly 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.

RAILWAYS AND OTHER COMPANIES.

LUDGATE STATION AND JUNCTION.

The proposed stations of this company are to be
on the site lying between Earl-street, Blackfriars,
and Skinner-street, with all such buildings, ap-
proaches, sidings, workshops, factories, engines, and
machinery as the company think requisite. In con-
nexion with the station there are to be three junction
railways, the first commencing by a junction with the
authorised railway of the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company on the south side of Earl-
street, Blackfriars, and terminating by a junc-
tion with the Metropolitan Railway, either at or
near its terminus, or the junction of Victoria-
street and West-street. The second junction
is to run out of the first at or near the junction
of Skinner-street and Snow-hill, opposite the
end of Seacoal-lone, and terminate near the
point where King-street and West-street terminate
in West Smithfield. The third junction railway
to commence from the intended first junction near
the corner of Ludgate-hill and Farringdon-street,
and terminate at or near Brazier's-buildings, and
on the east side of Farringdon-street. The com-
pany's bill also seeks power to permanently stop
up all streets, courts, alleys, and passages within
the station area, excepting Ludgate-hill, and use
and appropriate the same, and the site and soil
thereof, without causing any other thoroughfares to
be made in lieu of them. The estimated capital re-
quired for these works is £1,000,000 in shares, and
£333,300 on loan. The return of the number of
houses required to be taken, as made to the House
of Lords, for these works is 130—in Fleet-street,
Seacoal-lane,New-court, Bear-alley, Brazier's-build-
ings, Newcastle-street, Turnagain-lane, Green Dra-
gon-court, and Fox and Knot-court—displacing
700 persons, for whose removal no provision is pro-
posed to be made in the bill.
