; THE MURDER IN NORFOLK.—Some further discoveries
; have been made in reference to the murder of Lorenzo
Belia, of Norwich, of which an account was given in The
, Sun f yesterday. It appears that Mr. S. Hermann, of
Lynn, an intimate friend, and formerly a partner of the
deceased, went on Sunday morning to Tittleshall, and
knowing that Belia was in the course of his journey to
that village, in order to take a watch to a person theres
but no watch having been found, suggested that a more
minute search should be made in the premises of the
prisoner Thompson. The search was accordingly made,
and in the course of it one of the police-officers opened
the door of an oven, which contained several pairs
of boots, upon which the prisoner's father said,
" Oh, that has been searched before." The officer of
course persisted, and behind the boots found a silver
watch, with the name "L. Belia" as maker. In the chim-
ney were also found another watch, by the same maker
and in the watercloset a canvas bag, or purse, containing
Lynn a Geneva watch, two 51. notes of the and Lin-
colnshire bank, two sovereigns, four half-sovereigns, and
11. in silver. In the house were also found a bunch of
watchkeys, and another of larger keys ; but it has not
yet been ascertained whether either of the keys would
fit the deceased's box, as it remains sealed up at
Litcham, the place where the magistrates meet. The
deceased was a German Catholic, not a Jew. He
was unmarried, and had no relatives in England.
The prisoner owed money to the deceasedson account
of the watch he had urchased of him. Until the

general character is said to be bad,g and that of his
family by no means good. It appears that Thompson
had for several days been seen lurking near the spot
where the body of Belia was found. Two men who had
been working near the place were at first taken into
custody on suspicion, but were released on its being
proved that Thompson had been seen in the vicinity of
the spot in question. Some of the witnesses stated that
they saw Thompson going towards the place, and that
as they approached he leaned over the gate of a turnip
field in which he ought to have been at work, and on
their making some remark about his idleness, replied,
" I'll have them up in a day or two. It has also been
ascertained that after Thompson crossed the fields on
Friday, he went home and changed his clothes. When
the discovery of the body was made Thompson mixed
and quite unconcernedly followed the

A shirt and jacket stained with blood have been found
at his house, and also a heavy pair of highlow boots,
which have apparentif been washed, but still retain
the tongues and the lace-holes.

GROSS OUTRAGE IN A. CHURCH.—A most wanton and
unjustifiable outrage has been perpetrated on a Protes.
tart church at Nrarmsworth, between two and three
miles from Doncaster. The occurrence took place some
time during the night of Wednesday last, and those who
committed it commenced their attack on the building
by first throwing stones at the windows from the out-
side, a number of which they broke. They then pro-
ceeded to force open the church doors, but not succeed-
ing, they went to a window on the north side of the
church, broke the glass, tore away the lead from the
squares, and removed the casement by which they
were enabled to creep through. Having thus obtained
an entrance, they pulled down the communion rails and
demolished the stone font. Nothing but the base of the
font remains to indicate that one stood there. The
velvet cushion on the top of the pulpit and the one on
the clerk's reading desk, as well as a great number of
the cushions and hassocks in the pews, were cut and
torn, and the stuffing strewed about the church and
graveyard. Some woodwork near the communion table
was also pulled down and broken. The stone near the same
place is also pulled up. A.number ofthe books belonging to
the congregation. have been torn and otherwise damaged
and thrown about the church. Several loose seats used
by the poorer class of the congregation were broken and
piled one over another. After they had broken or
damaged everything they came in contact within the
sacred edifice, they proceeded to remove the lid or top
stone of a tomb, which they rolled over in the church-
yard, and left it there. It is pretty evident that the
object of the depredators was to gratify some private
feeling of revenge, and not to plunder, for, although
there is a blue cloth missing, there were articles of value
in the church which could have been taken away with-
out much difficulty. The present is not the first time
that the property of the church has been damaged, but
not to such a serious extent. A reward will be offered
for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders.
AN INFANT NOMINATED TO BE SHERIFF.—MT. Walter
de Winton, of Maestrigh Castle, nominated by the
judges the first on the list to be sheriff of Radnorshire,
is an infant, and extensive preparations are being made
to commemorate his attaining his majority at the end of
the present month of Novemer. There is, we believe,
no former example of an infant being nominated to be
sheriff. Mr. de Winton will be of age before the
"pricking" of the list of sheriffs.
