FURTHER PARTICULARS.

NORTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, 9 o'CLocfc A.3l.—SinCC
I despatched my packet of yesterday, I have learnt some
additional particu!ars with reference to this melancholy
affair, the authenticity of which may be fully depended
upon, as they were kindly communicated by Mr. Abbey,
the coroner, who presided at the investigation of yes-
terday.
- Deceased was a married man and 35 years of age ; it
did not arise in the course of the evidence whether he
had children or not, nor have I been • able to ascertain
the fact with accuracy. It appears that for some time
past, the wood in which the deceased officiated as keeper
has been infested to a great extent by poachers, and that
several men, and one in particular, had vowed vengeance
against dee( ascd for laying an information which termi-
nated in their conviction and imprisonment. On the
afternoon that decenred left his house for the last time,
his wife informed him that a man named Underwood had
just been-there to see if he were in or not, on which
Dunkley immediately went in the direction of the fatal
riding, having previnus!y stated that "there were fine
doings in the wood," referring no doubt to poaching. He
was seen with his gun in that precise spot shortly atter he
left the house. As I have before stated, he Icf[-. his house
on Tuesday, and his body was not discovered until the
Thursday morning, when, in consequence of the represen-
tations of dcceascd's ife, Longstaff,,
the head keeper, as-
sisted by several members of the Marquis of Northampton's
household, went in search of bina. , c -
appears that from the
beginning the wife apprehended that dangtr had be-
falien him, for she had heard her husband state that
Underwood had declared, upon his late conviction, that
he would " dash his brains out." The unfortunate vic-
tim was found by the keeper as I have already stated,
and it would apptar from the surgeon's evidence that
the immediate cause of death was a blow with the
butt-end of the gun at the lower part of the occiput,
which detached the lock from the stock, and which
penetrated the skull, and lodged there. Shots were
also found in the neck, and from the circumstance of
their having descended horizontally, it is conjectured
that he must have been fired upon from a tree or some
rising ground. The inquest finally terminated at a late
hour last night, when a verdict of " Wilful Murder"
was returned.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERERS.—lmmedi-
ately that the Marquis heard of this horrid transac-
tion he commenced a diligent investigation into all the
circumstances connected with the distressinc, and fear-
ful occurrence ; and the consequenCe has been the ap-
prehension of two men, named Underwood and Bedford,
who have been remanded for further investigation. The
late hour at which our express arrived prevents us fur-
ther availing ourselves of the evidence, than to state
that Underwood was the man who called at the cottage
with the undoubted object of ascertaining whether lc-
ceased was in or not ; and that he and Bedford had
been several times convicted of poaching through his
instrumentality.
