Yesterday morning the whole of the immediate country
,n.the neighbourhood of Leatherhead, was thrown into a
state of considerable excitation and horror, in consequence
of the barbarous murder of two aged individuals, who re-
sided on the borders of Fetchainscommon, within two
miles of Leatherhead, and at a short distance off the high-
road
to Guildford. The names of the unhappy persons are
John Arkhurst, a helpless old man, aged 96, and his house-
keeper, Elizabeth Haines, aged 74. They inhabited a cot-
tage in the midst of a small orchard, in a very solitary and
lonely situation, being at least a quarter of a mile from any
other habitation. It was generally rumoured in the neigh-
bourhood, that the old mall was possessed of some pro-
perty, as the house and some acres of laud adjoining, it,
were in his possession, and it is supposed that the mis-
creants were prompted to the commission of the murder
in the expectation of finding money, • the produce of the
fruit, which bad been extremely plentiful this season in
the grounds belonging to the poor old man. The murder,
which was perpetrated either on Thursday night, or early
on Friday morning, was first discovered by a lad, named
Brown, who resided at one of the neighbouring cottages,,
and who, it appeared, had been recently employed by the
deceased to gather in his crop of apples. This lad, it
seems, left his house on Friday morning at six o'clock, for
the purpose of commencing his daily work on the old man's
premises. When he came near the cottage he called out
the name of Elizabeth Haines as was his custom, and not
receiving an answer, as he was accustomed, front the old
woman, he approached nearer the house, and was astonish-
ed on observing the door leading into the house, as well as
one of the windows on the ground-floor, wide open. He
at once suspected that something dreadful had happened,
having repeatedly called the inmates by their names, rind
received no answer. The boy then hurried off with all the
speed he could to inform his parents of the circumstance.
His mother accompanied him back to the cottage; and on
her entrance observing no one below, site proceeded up
stairs, and at the head of the staircase, on looking where
the old man slept, the door being wide open, she was
shocked on beholding the lifeless corpse of Elizabeth
Haines. Mrs. Brown was so much terrified, that she ran
downs
and immediately sent off to Mr. Gibbs, a gen-
temployment her husband worked. Mr.

following gentlemen in the commission of the peace here
on the spot—viz. the 'Rev. Mr. Bolland, the Rector of
Fetcham ; Hankey, Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Heber-
deo ; all of whom testified their horror on entering the
dwelling and beholding the sad spectacle that presented
itself. Information was also despatched to Union-hall
police-office, by the Rev. Mr. Bolland, who communicated
