BM:MUM' RACE FOR £2OO.

The renewed race between Kilsby and Pedgrift was
rowed on Tuesday. Although fears were entertained that
Pedgrift would not show up on account of his party
thinking the bets wore off in such a case, ho came to the
post before Kilsby, and, as the race which they rowed will
show, had wonderfully improved since the previous day ;
it was evident on the other band that Kilsby had not taken
such care of himself as he might. The officials were the
same as on the previous day. Mr. Wilberforce, referee ;
Mr. Bush, umpire forKilsby; Geo. Ilammerton for Pedgrift,
who had the station. A steamer accompanied, crowded to
excess, and although the first part of the race was lost, the
remainder was seen very well. They came away together
—betting 4 to 1 on Kilsby—and so rowed to Shnmond's,
where Pedgrift shot slightly to the front, and then a des-
perate and determined race commenced, which was well
maintainel and protracted until nearing the Crab Tree,
where Pedgrift's pilot took him too close to his man, and
their sculls touched slightly, in fact in a hardly perceptible
manner. Kilsby stopped, and Pedgrift went on a head,
finishing 200 yards in front. The stakes were awarded to
Kilsby on the foul. Time, 26 min. 5 secs. A vast amount
of money changed hands on the result.

MURDER IN 711 - OLD KENT ROAD.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The house, which is ono of six rooms, was rented by a
Mrs. Caroline Snow, and let out by her in apartments.
Tho front and back parlours wore occupied by
Louis Bordier and a young female named Emma
Snow .(the niece of the landlady), who had for some
years cohabited with him, and by whom she had had
three children. It does not seem that any ill-feel-
ing had existed, and the young man appears to have
attended well to his work. After supper Bordier and the
young woman and children retired to rest, shortly before
ten o'clock. There was nothing in the conduct or manner
of the man to lead to the slightest supposition that
before many hours he would be the perpetrator of a
dreadful crime. Everything passed on quietly until about
five yesterday morning, when the man got :out of bed, and
in doing so awoke the woman. She said, " It's too soon to
get up yot—come to bed again." After a short time the
man again went back to bed, and the woman dropped off to
sleep. _ _

About six o'clock she was awoke by feeling a hand grasp
her tightly by the head, and on looking up saw Bordier with
a knife in his right hand. He pulled back her head and
drew the knife across her throat, from vi hich the blood
spurted out. After struggling with him she managed to get
out of the room into the passage. She put her hand to
her throat, which she tightly grasped, and went upstairs
to the room occupied by Mrs. Snow. Mrs. Snow asked
her what was the matter. She replied, "Oh, see what
Bordier has done." She then got into bed with her aunt.
The latter then perceived that her niece's throat was cut,
and made an alarm, when messengers were sent off to
various medical gentlemen and to the police stations.
Police-constable 138 P and Sergeant Turner, 35 P, pro-
ceeded upstairs, in company with Dr. Simpson, of 759,
Old Kent-road. In the bed-room where the aunt had
slept Emma Snow was lying with a frightful gash
in her throat. Doctor Simpson, on making an ex-
amination, found life to be quite extinct. Bor-
dior afterwards came upstairs, and, in answer to Mrs.
Snow, who said, " Oh, what did you do this for ?" ho
replied "I have done it. I could not help it, for Icould not
part from her." The polico thou made a search, and on going
into the front parlour, where Bordier and the unfortunate
woman had slept, they found on the floor, covered with
blood, a largo sharpknife, such as would be used by a currier
in his trade. The bod clothes were stained with blood,
marks of which wero about the floor, along the passage,
and upstairs to the aunt's room. Som
o letters written
in French were found, but at present it is not known
whether their contents at all relate to the dreadful deed.
It seems further that although the man and his victim
had been on very good terms for a long time,
yet, owing to some quarrel between them, she
had threatened to leave him, and wont so far as to
give him a week's notice. From this statement made by
one of the children, a girl about ten years of ago, it
seems that Bordier, after having cut the woman's throat,
passed into the back parlour. Ile stooped down on the bod
where the child wits lying, and seizing her by the threat,
pushed her head back and looked herfull in the face. After
remaining in this position a few moments, ho suddenly throw
her back and said, " Lay down again." At that time he
held one hand behind him, in which she noticed the handle
of a knife. lle did not touch her or say another word, but
left theroom. No doubt from this prisoner intended to have
destroyed the child, but at the moment of doing so relented.
On being questioned by the police the man, who did not at
first seem distressed in mind, or to feel the dreadful position
in which he was placed, said, " Yes, I did it, and the knife
is the one you have got that I did it with." Ile then begged
to be taken to see the woman before they took him away.
This was done, and on the way upstairs prisoner said ho
hoped she would not live. The prisoner, in the custody
of the police, was then removed to Peckham sta.tipn, and
from there to Lambeth Police-court. During the morning
thore was a laic, crowd gathered in front of the house.

RAfter the disposal of the night charges at Lambeth
Police-court the prisoner was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge, charged with the wilful murder of Emma Snow.
Caroline Snow, the aunt, who was the first witness, de-
posed to deceased coming to ber bedroom about six o'clock
that morning with her throat cut, and saying, " Look
what Bordier has done." The other witnesses examined
were Celestine Bordier, daughter of tho deceased, aged 11 ;
Police-constable Barrett, who went to the house with the
doctor, Mr. George Simpson ; and the latter, who de-
scribed the nature of the wound, and said that when ho
asked Bordior why ho did the deed, he replied, " It was
necessary i Should clv it." Witness staked " Why ?" and
