TUE MURDERS NEAR LEATHERHEAD.

On Friday last, Bennett, the man residing in the next house to
Met recently inhabited by John Akehnrst and his housekeeper, at
Fetehent, underwent an examination before the Rev. Mr. Bolland,
in ep, •
"',Nuenee of his daughter, a little girl, between 12 and 13
'4" of age, having, in the course of a conversation with an intli-
vsidual named Jefferies, who was formerly butler in the service of
Justice Park, dropped several hints respecting the conduct of
lier Miter anti mother op the night of the murders, that were of
ftch, nature as to cast considerable suspicion against her parents
if having some knowledge of the dreadful events that took place
.q the inert 'cottage to the one in which they reside. The result
of OW enquiry on the occasion was, the discharge of the man, the
' istrAte conceiving that he was not implioated in the murders.

hat been Ascertained since, awl is now considertel at Fetcharn
Lyle), extemultinary fact, that Bennett, who is reported to
have been at work some little distance from "his residence in
the fiehi, on the l'eidaY morning, upon hearing that Ake-'
hunt and'
hi hie housekeeper had been murdered, did not • quit
etnployment, or betray any snrprise or horror on being ap-
,Linaed of the dreadful circumstaucee. It will be recollected
s"tt his stepeson, John Brown, was the lad who, upon
'41441 at the cottage before six o'clock in the morning,
f:ri the purpose of borrowing a basket, discovered the door and
lte
"d"? °Pen, which led him to suspect that something had hap-
Pe to the inmates. Without, however,- proceeding into the
house, and
ascertaining the cause himself, he hurries off to his mo-
ther'and strange to say , exclaims--" Oh, mother, mother, Ake-
Itzerlyt and the old housekeeper are murdered ;" and she (the aloe
her °len account, at the inquest, deposed, that when her
i°o gave her the information she hastened to some of her neigh.:
,Vute, who accompanied. hei to Akelturst's cottage, and they then
„,,,tevered that the old man and his housekeeper were murdered.
‘uw it hes been since ascertained, that the mother, instead of hay-
:ot, "A the first instance, called on her neighbours, proceeded to the
to acCompanied only by her son, and subsequently alarmed
e.
the Persons who live in the neighbourhood, by whom she was
sseeoutpanied to Akehurst's cottage. The little girl, above

Aeeho or in a

and' 14k1 he did not believe it. She repeated that they were,

l'aing been assured of the perpetration ,of the
