HORRIBLE MURDER.

a'trial, in which five persons were accused, two of them fe-
males ; and tit) witnesses were examined.. Caroline Cautlrone
it appears, was a servant in the house of Fr. !thieved, a farmer,
at Fontaine-stir-Maye, in. the arrondissement of Abbeville.
An intimate connection ensued between her and Ringard's
son ; they, were suspected in the village ; but the thing
was not known with certainty ; , and without, avowing the
whole truth, she had not been able to conceal the inte-
rest she took in • the youth. She was, however, seven
months gone with child, awl the circumstance was lint
known beyond the walls of Ringard's house, when she was
found murdered in the centre of the village, oat-the entrance of
a meadow at-some dietance from Ringard's house. Her body.
Was dreadfully mutilated, having 22 cuts about the head
and bust,' and one' of her bends was almost 'severed from the
arel. On November 6th, she bad been nut in the evening at a
house of the village, and expressing some vague fears, one or
her friends accompanied her to the door arltingard's house, and
there is every reason to believe she went in. Caroline had few
acquaintances add no enemies. The meadow where she was
found was bordered by a number of houses frequented till mid-
ni
t, but nobody heard any thing. Her distaff, with her bob-
bin:, were found near her, in the same state as when she let
the use of her acquaintance, except that one. of them bore
the mark of a bloody linger. A little charcoal pan (cuvet)
was lying near her broken, but it was not the one she had
had with her the night before. It was plain, therefore, she
had not been murdered in the meadow, and a multitude of cir-
cumstances directed the suspicions of the Magistrates. The
-hatred of the family,of Itingard, and the threats of the son,
who had said he would murder her if she mentionetther preg-
nancy; the evidence of a pedlar, who by chance had heard
some
,proposals made. fur murdering Caroline, fixed these
suspicions into • certainty. An examination was begun, and a
• hedging-bill found, which seemed to be the instrument with
which tie wounds had been inflicted, and spots of blood confirm
the circumstances. A mane of the name of Banquet, employed
as a labourer in the house, was suspected, as it was proved that
the bloWs had been given by the left hand, and he was .left-
handed. His panteloens were stained with blond, the origin
of which he could not explain. It had been proposed to marry
him and Caroline. Independent of the suspicions attached to
all, there were some therefore which weighed on him inch-
vidually, A widow also, the sister-41.1am of Bingard, was
present at the proposal for murdering Caroline, which the
pedlar had heard by chance. Bingen), his wife and son, and
Baguet was therefore accused of the murder, and the widow was
accUsed.of being an accomplice. The Jury were unanimous in
!lading 'litigant, the son, guilty, and. acquitting the widow.--
11y a majority of 7to 5 they. found ltenyurd, the father, hiS
Wife,' and Baguet, also. guilty, and. the Court deciding, pro.
nouneed sentence of death on ltingard, the father, and ltmgard,
the son, and acquitted the mother and Baguet. The execution
is to take place at A bbev ille.—(Comnituanne/.)

NEWGATE.—On Saturday the London Grand
Jury were conducted over the interior of this prison by Mr.
Wormier, the Governor, and every place therein was examined
minutely. The gentleman expressed to Mr. Nirontner their
satisfaction 'at finding such order and cleanliness in every part.
When the Jury were taking a vlaw of the place appropriated to
convicts under sentence or death, Harris, the man convicted of
robbing Sarah Drew, a servant girl in the family of Mr. Hale,
a silk merchant, in Wood-street, Spitallields, addressed them
in very affecting language, and solemnly protested that he was
innocent of the crime imputed to him. The girl deposed that
the prisoner took a rope out of his pocket, and swore he would
hang her; that he, with the assistance of two other men,. drag.
ged her to the side of a pond, in Hackney-fields, and pitched
her into it. The proof of Harris's identity rested solely on the
the Grand Jury told the unhappy man, the
girl's testimony, and several witnesses swore to an alibi on the
clear against him,, that they could not have
evidencetri 8
done otherwise than have found him Guilty, had they been on
the Jury who tried him. Others of the Grand Jury commisser-
ated his situation,
'"wiea oral
o ot
s s.
and hoped that the investigation in progress
would establish his innocence, or confirm his guilt. Harris
said. " I assure you, Gentlemen, the young woman was mis-
taken ; I do not deny that she was ill-treated by some persons,
but • I declare solemnly that I had no concern in the transac-
thmo • The *retched culprit has persisted in his innocence ever
since his apprehension.

DIIEADFUL SUTCIDE.—A man of the name of
Davies, a tailor in , Mussclburgh, who had come to town the
latter end of last week, for the purpose of recovering a small
debt of twenty-five shillings which was due him, had, it
appears, after obtaining his money, met in with bad com-
pany, by whom he had been induced to spend the greater
share of it. On Saturday night, he returned homy as far
where he remained for the night-
as Jock's Lodge, On
Sabbath morning he inquired for a razor to shave himself,
but chit for some reason was not given him, and he ordered his
boots to be brushed. When II servant returned with them to
his room, he was found suspended by his neckcloth and a bit
Dirracks, but life was found to be extinct. What adds much
to the calamity, he has left a wife and ten children,' wholly
unprovided for; and was generally considered a sober and
of rope. Medical aid was immediately obtained from 'the
decent man.—(Edlaburgh Courant, bee. 3.)
