TIIE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN IN ESSEX. ••-••
DAGENDAM, TUESDAY NIGHT.—Up to a late hoar this even-
ing, although the police have exhibited the greatest vigi-
lance, the murderers of Clark, the policeman, had not been
apprehended. No reward has yet been offered for the dis-
covery of the parties by the Government. In addition to
the local police. Superintendent Pearce, of the F division,
and Whicher and Kendall, active officers of the detective
force, are engaged in tracing out the murderers. The un-
fortunate deceased, it has been since ascertained, was to
have ,been married in a few days to a young woman named
Howe, residing near his native place, Woburn.. During the
last day or so, it has been the subject of Conversation among
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of the murder, that
the police-constables who have to perform night duty in 'the
rural districts,.are the most inadequately armed..
