ACCIDENT TO LORD LEIGII IN TIIE HUNTING
FIELD.—On Thursday afternoon Lord Leigh, the Lord
Lieutenant of 'Warwickshire, met with an accident whilst
hunting, on the Stoneleigh estate, with the North War-
wickshire hounds. In leaping a high quickset fence his
lordship was thrown from his horse and fell heavily to
the ground, and the horse placed his hoof upon the
back of his lordship's head,
but fortunately ho escaped
without serious injury, although severely shaken by the
fall.

THE SUNNINGIIILL MURDER.—From information
which has recently come into the hands of the chief of the
Berks constabulary there appears a very great likelihood
of some light being thrown upon the circumstances sur-
rounding this mysterious crime, and that the murderer of
the poor old woman, Elizabeth Butler, who kept the lodge
on Mr. Crutchley's estate at Sunninghill Park, will- be
brought to justice.
