MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR LEICESTER
—A. murder of a most deliberate and shocking charac-
ter was committed on the Hinckley turnpike-road,
near Leicester, between twelve and one o'clock on
Saturday night. As two men, named Mason, were
proceeding to Coventry fair, they discovered the body
of a man lying by the roadside, near a lonely spot
called Braunstown Spinnies. Life was quite extinct,
and they hastened to a -public-house, kept by Mr.
Hitchcock, about half a mile distant. They called
the landlord up, told him what they had seen, and then
left on their way to Coventry. Mr. Hichcock called up a
cottager who lives close by, and they went to the spot
pointed out by the Masons, where they found the lifeless
body of Mr. Samuel Adcock, farmer, of Ashby Shrubs,
Enderby-lane, a place about 5 miles from Leicester. They
found a gunshot wound at the base of the skull, at the
back.of the head, a ball having lodged in the upper paTt..
It was evident that the murderer had fired at his victim
when close to him, and the deceased appears to have
fallen violently forward, after he received the fatal
wound, as his right elbow . and knee are injured
from coming in contact with the road ; the body
then seems to have been dragged to the road-side and
the pockets rifled. Whilst Mr. Hitchcock and the cottager
were making an examination the mail cart from Nuneaton
drove up, and intelligence was sent on to Leicester, 1
Mr. Chief-Constable Goodyer hastened to the scene, and
the body was removed to the school-room at Braun t
The deceased's hat and neckerchief were missing,"".
during the day the hat has been found by a oliemaannd,
having been thrown over
about 100 yards from the body,
a hedge into a spinny. Mr. Thomas Macaulay and Mr.
Moore succeeded in exAracting a buret, is one
,o.f
those generally attached to fishing n-ts"foirictdi
of sinking them. The deceased, who ha d been the purpose
market,pure
was last seen about seven o'clock. There is atcottage a
short distance from the spot where the murder was com-
mitted, and one of the inmates states that she heard a
report of fire-arms about half-past twelve o'clock. The
police are out in all directions making inquiries, but up
to the present time nothing has transpired to lead to the
detection of the murderer ; and it is supposed that more
than one person was concerned, as the deceased was a
powerful man, weighing 15 or 16 stone, and
about 6
feet high, and one man would have great difficulty in
removing the body. The deceased was about 26 years
of age, and much respected.
