ANOTHER MURDER.

A very decent elderly %widow woman, Who kept
a small chandler's shop within two hit Art.,! yards
of the Castle Inn, at Woodford, was on Monday
morning found murdered "behind her county,' She
appears to have been sitting on a wood, r, eirtir Ht
the back of the counter, casting up, on a slate,
either the receipts of. the day, or the amount of
some,articles which the perpetrator of this horrid
deed.bad pretended to purchase ;' it is con-
jectured, she must have received a violent blow
between the eyes, after Which, a large knife, with
which she was in the habit of cutting the cheese,
&e. was plunged into her throat, whereby the
jugular vein and the windpipe were both cut.—
When discovered, she Was lying upon heriface on
the door behind the counter,9 and 'the bloody
knife deposited upon a kind of wooden bench
within a yard of the place where the body
The mimicr must have been committed late on
Saturday evening, after the shop was closed,.and
was not discovered until Monday Morning, as her
neighbours had heard her say she was going out
on the: following day, which being Sunday, no
suspicion arose front the windows remaining closed
until Monday morning, when entrance was ob-
tained by the window. Her pockets were turned
inside out, and the till emptied ; but some silver
spoons were lying-in the back parlonr,untouched,
and upwards of 30/.. in a box in her bed-rooM.—
the door was a spring lock, which was closed upon
the heels of the murderer, who; no doubt, quitted
the house by the front door. It is remarkable that
there is a cottage, with a family, next door;
which iS merely divided by a thin lath and plaster
partition, and no noise was heard.

The Coroner was expected to hold his inquest
yesterday afternoon.- In the interim, we tooter,
stand, two Magistrates, Mr. HALL and Mr. R, or-
rutwr.l.l., have been- actively employed in exa-
mining witnesses, anti collecting evidence.
,At
present, suspicion- attaches to a jottrneyman.tay-.
lor, who bus been lately discharged- from his
work in the neighbourhood, and was seen in the
poor woman's shop late in the night of the Sa-
turilay preceding the day on which ,the murder
was committed , and the deceased is said to have
Complained .to a• neighbour, who' happened to
come into the shop at that time (after the man
had left it), that he had alarmed het very much
'by his manner, and had made her very uneasy by
&Aging and watching her, and using strange
I.lllgiu.igC. From other erctinistances (if teats be
the mail) there is no doubt but he meant to have
perpetrated the murder on the first Saturday, after
the receipts of t..c week were all collected.in her
till, out was disturbed by the woman in question
.coming.in, Which was near' 1 l o'clock, when die
shop was shut for the night. A mart of the' de-
scription alluded to,- was.traced upon. the London
road on Monday morning, near Stratford, who
had on a pair of trowsers,, very bloody at the
knees. Search is making after him.
