MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Thursday afternoon, about
two o'clock, as some boys were playing at Bankside they
discovered something floating near the Surrey shore, a
little above Southwark-bridge: which proved to be the
body of a young woman, with a child in her ams.
Information was immediately forwarded to the po-
lice, and the bodies on being landed, being found
to be quite lifeless, they were, by direction of ier-
geant Golding, 7 M, conveyed to the dead ho use
of the parish of St. Saviour's. In addition to the child
being clasped in the arms of the deceased young woman,
they were found to be fastened together by a str( ing
cord tied round each of their waists. They w ere
both respectably attired, the young woman being
about twenty-two years of age, and the child about
six months. On the pockets of the former being
searched, a paper was found with the words " Jane
Papson, 15, New-street, Cloth-fair," written thereon ; and
application being made at that address the bodies vi .ere
identified. The persons in the house, however, knewvery
little of her history. She had come there to live a very
short time since, and they understood from her she .had
not long since left service, in consequence of bein g a
mother. She had not been seen at home since IN ed-
nesday afternoon. On her table were found two lett. 3rs,
one addressed to her father, at Folkstone, and the ot her
to a young man, who is supposed to be the father of the
deceased's child, both of which are written in such tei ms
as to leave no doubt that the deceased left home for the
purpose of destroying her life and that of her offspring,
and stating that by the time they were opened she should
be no more. No money was found upon her, and it is
supposed that poverty was one of the incentives to l`e
rash act.
