POLICE.

Bow-STREET.."-•Mr6 GRAHAM went to the late
unfortunate Mr. Marr's premises on Thursday, and
very particularly examined them, and investigated
some witnesses on the spot, The prisoners Ha, t
and 411,1 ass, who are sill kept in close confinement,
not being able to account for about a
~quarter of an
hour Of their lime on the night Dl the murder of Wll-
- and servant, it has been ascertained. that a
man on walk, at a very brisk pace, in less than
five minutes, from their house to the Pear-tree
public house. On Saturday a man and woman,
who lived nest door to Mr. Marr, attended at the
'Office, and gave evidence respeeting the horrible
transaction. We understand it is their opinion, that
they heard three or four persons walking about at
the time of the murders.

On Friday night, soon after eleven o'clock, as a
Naval Officer, of the name of Stent, was passing
the end of the Piazza, Covent-Garden, he felt
something at his pockets; he looked round and saw
a marr,-An company with several others, and having
no doubt but he was going to pick his pocket,
charged him with it, when the fellow gave him a
violent blow, which cut his mouth and knocked
him.down, and the villains ran off. Pearkes, the
Bow-street Officer, happening to be passing the
end of Charles-street, observing a man doubling
baCk under the horses of a coach, had no doubt but
he was a robber, .aod k.:ocked :him down with his
stick : softie- of the companions of the robber
knocked Pearkes down at the smile- time : however,
the fellow was at List secured.

The following article is extra6ted from, the Ply-
Inutith Telegraph.—" It is with the deepest impres-
sions of horror we have to add another instance of
atrocious villainy to the dark catalogue ut crtines late-
ly committr d in tnis country. On the evening of
the 20th instant, Margaret HuxtabJe, of Dodbrouke,
near Kingsbridge, a child, only nine years old, was
sent on an errand by her mother to a neighbouring
shoemaker's: but it was to return no more—Hr en-
ticed, as it is supposed, by. trko men, with whom
she had been seen on the Totnes road, she was first
violated, and then murdered in the most inhuman
manner. Driven almost to a state of desperation by
her not returning at the ex,scEted time, her parents
inStantly made every research and inquiry for then'
child : . but, ally! to no purpose, until the follow-
ing morning, when her shift was discovered about a
mile from Dodbrooke, much torn and dyed with
blood. On searching further, her mangled corpse
was found in the s:am>~ field, deprived of life and
.perfealy..divested of clothing. Her head smashed
to pieces, apparedtly with stones, was literally
driven into the earth; and her whole body bore
incuntestible 'evidence of the effects of 'rufflan
force! The perpetrators of these. crimes h'ave
hitherto escaped detection : but the Police is active,
and guilt, such as their's, cannot remain long un-
detected."

On Saturday a Coroner's Inquest sa► on the body
of Mr. Fox, late cleric in the house of Messrs. Pei-
latt and Green, St. Paul's Church-yard. The de-
ceased left ►he office on Friday even►ng in 'apparent
good health, and was returning home, when he fell
crown in Blackfriars-road, and was found lifeless
Under these circumstances the Jury returned a ver-
dial—Died by the visitation of God.
