MURDER AT BASSALLEG.

(From the Monmouthshire Merlin of this day.)

At five o'clock yesterday evening information -was
received by Mr. Superintendent English, that the
body of an aged woman, named Jane Lewis, aged
about sixty-five, was found in a brake, near Nantcoch
wood, and adjacent to the Bassalleg-roal, lying on
her back, with an awful wound inflicted on the right
eye, as if with a stone or instrument, severe bruises on
the left eye, scratches on the cheek, a quantity of
blood at the back of the head, and the front part of
the dress torn open, as if with violence ; while the
back part of the dress was covered with mud,
as though the body had been dragged over the
ground. _ _

It was found that deceased had lived at Pontymaswv,
about two miles from Bassalleg; and that on Wed-
nesday morning she had come to Newport for the
purchase of some peas and other trifling articles ; and
was last seen passing the Hand-post, a little after five
o'clock, walking by herself towards Bassalleg, where
she was to receive her weekly parochial allowance.
About six o'clock the same evening, a young lad,
named Henry Phillips, son of Mr. William Phillips,
of Nant-Coch farm, observed a quantity of peas
scattered on the road, almost close to the gate, within
a few yards of which the body of the poor old
woman was discovered yesterday, by her son, at two
o'clock in the afternoon.

It appears that the deceased, not having returned
to her house on Wednesday, her husband, who is a
cripple, sent infirmation of her absence to their son,
John Lewis, night-watchman under Sir Charles
Morgan, at Bassalleg, who accordingly came towards
Newport, on Thursday, and on passing the gate where
the peas had been observed on the previous night,
felt a presentament that his mother was in a shed,
situated at the top of the brake. He stated that on
going there, he happened to turn his head around,
and then saw some dark object lying near the road
hedge ; and this he speedily found to be the body of
his mother. He immediately gave an alarm ; and,
strange enough, some of those who came to his as-
sistance, in passing the above-mentioned shed, actually
found there the basket and its contents, which the
deceased had brought from Newport.
As soon as this startling intelligence had been ,rez
ceived, Mr. English, Sergeant Harlow, as r. C.
Pullen, started off for the spot, accompanied by Dr.
Stack, who, on their arrival, examined the body,
which was then removed to the Hand-post beer. house,
from which place it was conveyed to the union• house
this morning. An inquest will be held on the body
this afternoon.
