THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AND

MUTILATION.

LATEST PARTICULARS-{THIS DAY.)

On inquiry this morning at the Bow-street Police
Station, our reporter was informed that Messrs.
Homan, of 25, Skinner-street, Snow-hill, had re-
ceived a letter from Mr. Hugh Pattison, stating
that hs was at present in Ireland, and that he
should shortly return to London, 'when he would
call on them. The supposition of his being the
murdered man is set at rest.
From reliable information we are enabled
to state that this morning Errington, the toll-
collector at Waterloo-bridge was taken to a house
in the Borough to look at a woman supposed to be
the person who passed over the bridge with a car-
pet bag and brown paper parcel the night previous
to the discovery of the remains. After spending
some time time in her company and conversing
with her, he informed the detectives who accom-
panied him that she was more like the wonvm
than either of the others he had previously seen.
On the same night a respectable man well
known to Errington, passed through the bridge a
few seconds before the woman with the carpet-bag,
and he has communicated to the police the fact
that he can identify her. He says that after passing
the turnstile he turned round with the intention of
asking Errington for a light for his pipe,
but that seeing Errington wrangling with a woman
about something he changed his mind, and want
on ; the gas light at the bar was, so strong on the
woman's face, that he feels convinced he should
know her again. Ho will be taken this evening by
the police, in company with Errington, to look at
the woman above referred to.

Pr)fesror Taylor's report will, it is expected,
be in the banis of the Government this afternoon.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE AMERICAN TRIUMPH.

The British horses can lick creation and the American
horses can lick the British. Such was the boast of
Jonathan to John, and the result of the Cesarewitch
has proved that it was not altogether unfounded.
After a long series of ill-luck, after being one of his
most valued horses, Mr. Ten Broeck has met with a
turn of fortune which wi'l compensate him for bis many
reverses. What will "Porter's Spirit" ear now aft..r
all the shameful charges made against the English turf
and English racing men ? \Vhat will it say to the
American horses achieving their first triumph at Now-
market—of winning a handicap above All other races—
and of being ridden by an English jockey ? Gilpatrick, too,
will have cause for boasting; for the statements CvhiJii he
made in his very foolish and unwarrantable letter had—it
has been proved—truth for their foundation. I wasnot far
out in my reckoning when I selected El Hakim for my
Cesarewitch champion, and he will perhaps for the
Cambridgeshire present even truer claims to confidence
and support.

There were some strange " incidents" at Newmarket
list week. The running of Apathy excited some dis-
cus 4 ,n and it is even said that the owner of the terse
will yet be called upon by the Jockey Club to furni h
more explanation of the extraordinary circumstances
ct'bich attended the performances. After the settling to-
day, however, I will refer in full to the misting, sketch
the most striking incidents, and show the bearing of
certain races upon coming events.

Turfites go to Warwick as frequently as they do to
Newmarket. The October meeting conarneneas there
to-morrow, and to judge from the list of sport there will
be racing enough to induce people to make the trip.
The Great Warwick Handicap seems likely to be a
race between Mr. Merry and Mr, Jackson, and I shun
wed to see the "blue and white sleeves" borae first
past the post by whichever animal it may be carried.
r the Castle Park Nursery, the Roso of Cashmere colt
and Polly Johnson are the most attractive names.
Codrington and Lymington ought, to be the most promi.
'lent competitors for the Welter Cup. At present it is
too early in the season for me to deal with the jumpers.
The sport at Kelso is almost attractive enough to draw
southern turfites into the north. If El Hakim and
Queen Bess be sent to fight their Cesarewitch battle over
again for the Roathurgh Handicap, their encounter will
excite an interest which will be shared by all classes of
racing mon. They meet on precisely the same terms
that they did at Newmarket, and therefore the horse is
entitled to the preference. The absence of one, how-
ever, would seemingly insure the success of the other.
For the Kelso Plate I shall take Logie o'Buchan and
Sunrise. The second day's racing will depend so much
upon the issue of to-morrow's' events that I shall not
refer to it.

A FRESH MAN.

ONE OP THE BEST LIVINGS IN THE CHURCH OP ENG-
LAND.— The rectory of Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire,
liAs become vacant by the death of the Rev. J. W. Tom-
linson. It is worth upwards of 3,0001. a-year. There
are only two livings in the Church which exeeed this in
annual value—namely, the rectory of Stanhope, Durham,
worth 5,0001. a-year, and the rectory of Doddington,
Cambridgeshire, which is worth nearly 8,0001. a-year.
GUERIN'S SILT-ACTING RAILWAY BREAK.—This in-
valuable apparatus is already in daily use on nearly the
whole of the French railways, as will be seen from the
following list of the lines which have adopted it :
Orleans, Northern, Western, Lyons, Bourbonnais,
Southern, and St. Rambert to Grenoble. The Eastern
(or Strasbourg) Company are now having it fitted to
their carriages.—Mining Journal.
WINTER EXEIBITION OP POULTRY AND PIGEONS AT
THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Poultry and pigeon fanciers
will be glad to learn that the Crystal Palace Company
have arranged to hold their winter show early in
January ?Pat. 'The regulations and schedules of prizes
are on the same liberal scale as last year, and aro now
ready for delivery on application to the Secretary, Mr.
William Houghton, at the Palace. We understand
there is every probability of a capital show, as birds of
all ages are admicable.
NEW MUSEUM AT THE INDIA-HOUSE.—Some consider-
able alterations, to give increased space for the collection
of medals and works of Indian art, have been going on
at the India-house for some time past under the direc-
tion of Mr. Digby Wyatt, the present architect of the
Company; and, though the directors have now some-
thing else to think about, the works are being completed
and the collection arranged for public inspection. What
was the tea saleroom has been transformed into an ,
Indian court, with columns and arches of Indian fashion,
and appropriated mainly to sculptured antiquities, slabs,
and figures. Some elaborately cut stone panels of Indian
work have been set up to form a screen. The carving
of some of the groups displays wonderful finish. The
deputy secretary's residence and other parts have been
thrown into the museum, and the whole now occupies a
considerable space. The amount of the contract is about
2,500/. ; with the fittings the sum will probably amount
to 3,5001. Meagre. Hack and S.in, of Poplar, are the
contractors. The collection at the India-house is one
of great interest. Those who would study Indian archi-
tecture must go there to do it. Of minute carving and
metal-work there are some beautiful specimens.—Builder.
CROSSING SWEEPERS AND SHOEBLACRS.—Mr. Mit-
chell, a solicitor, accompanied by the secretary of the
East London hoeblack Society, applied to the Lord
Mayor on Saturday for permission to place a small num-
ber of boys as crossing sweepers in different parts of the
City, under the auspices of the society and the superin-
tendence of the police; they would wear uniforms, so as
to be easily distinguished by the public. They did not in-
tend that the boys should be paid individually by passers
by, but proposed to have a box attached to a post at
each crossing, into which the public could pet money
or not, as they pleased ; which money would after-
wards be used for the benefit of the boys by the so-
ciety, as.was now the case with shoeblacks. The Lord
Mayor said he would gladly give his sanction and assist-
ance with the understanding that no favouritism should
be shown, but that the appointment should be open to
all honest boys, without exception, under proper regula-
tions. Mr. Mitchell said that was the intention of the
society ; and the Lord Mayor promised to confer with
the Police Commissioner upon the subject, in order to
see whether such an arrangement could be eatiefactorily
wade,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
SMITH V. BERSTED.

QUESTION OF COSTS.—In this case Mr. Buchanan
appeared for the defendant ; and the plaintiff, who had
been plaintiff in another suit, at the sitting of the Court
did not appear.
Mr. Buchanan applied fer defendant's costs. He
would state as a ground for his application that the
dlfenco was that the defendant did not even know t'le
plaintiff, and never had any dealings with him.
His Honour said the plaintiff had been in court, and
the application ought to have been made then.
Mr. Buchanan said that he of course had no right to
ask until the case came on. The plaintiff and Mr. Davies,
his solicitor, were in another case an hour before, and
t'ley left the court together ; it was evident to him that
when plaintiff saw the case was defended, he thought it
better not to go on.
His Honour, after some hesitation, said he would allow
Mr. Buchanan's costs, but it wan putting the plaintiff to
a groat Pxpense, as he would Lava to repay the hearing
fees paid merely to apply for costs. He therefore should
not allow defendant's expenses ; it was contrary to the
the rule.

Mr. Buohantn—Will your honour then sanction or
tolerate that a man should be brought here for nothing
and not even allow his expenses.

' Mr. Ashley (solicitor) ;aid that in the Shoreditch and
other courts it was the uriver.•al rule to allow casts
when plaintiffs did not appear or were non-suited.
His Honour—Well, we bad never done it here.
Mr. Ashley—ls it not better to begin now, then—it
is never too late to mend. (Laughter.)
,His Honour—But every alteration is not an amend-
ment for the better. We are very molerate in the City.
Mr. Ashley—Yes, the City is moderate in all things
His Honour said he could not make an exception to
the genezal rule.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Day.)

MA.RLBOROUGH STREET.

ALLEGED CHARGE OF CHILD MIIRDER.—Anna
described nn the charge-sheet as a needlewoman, residing
at No 3, Golden-ball Court, Lit Act Compton-street, was
brought beforkMr. Bingham, charged with causing the
death of her infant child, Frances Agnes Miller, by
neglecting to supply it with fit and proper nourishment.
Frances Whittaker, widow, No. 5, Bercard-street,
said on Saturday evening about six o'clock the prisoner,
to whom she was known as a district visitor for St.
Anne's and St. Mary's parishes for about three months,
came into her shop with a baby in her arms about six
weeks old. Witness spoke to her, when she said the baby
was in a fit. She unwrapped the baby, and to her great
astonisbment she found it was dead. This circum-
stance so overcame her that for a moment she
could not speak. At last she called a young woman
tr, look at it, and she declared the child was dead. This
the prisoner denied, apparently more in contradiction
to her statement. Witness at onto went to the surgeon's,
who was out, and she subsequently went to Mr. Cham-
bers., the incumbent, and on explaining the matter to
him he advised her to call a policeman, winch she did.
The prisoner then said ;t was all her husband's fault.
Witness had seen the child at 10 o'clock the same morn-
ing, when it seemed to be quite well. Witness had been
in the habit of attending to the child's eyes by the re-
quest of Dr. Carr, who had noticed that the child was
sadly neglected. Witness bad done so for about six
weeks, ever since the birth of the chit", and had herself
observed that the infant was much neglected, the pri-
soner at times refusing her the breast. She was not
aware of the cause of the child's death. The prisoner's
supply of milk had suddenly ceased, as witness thought,
in consequence of intemperance.
Mr. 11. Jones, surgeon, Soho-square, said he had
titmice(' the body of the child carefully. Externally
there were no marks of violence. The child was very
much emaciated, which might be caused by disease.
Wlthent making a post n.ortem examination he was
quite unable to tell the cause of death.

Mr. Bingham said the first witness had given her evi-
dence in a very proper manner, but still there was not
sufficient evidence to warrant him in detaining the pri-
soner on the charge of manslaughter. Although the
prisoner might be addicted to drink, and neglect her
children in consequence, there was nothing to show that
she had caused its death from violence or wilful neglect.
She must therefore be discharged for the present.
