CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A little boy, about fifteen years of age, named Butcher,
the son of very respectable parents, residing in Myddleton-
street, Clerkenwell, was charged with having been " riotous"
on the previous evening, with using; obscene language, and
with throwing stones at the police.' ,
Police-constable Clarke, 213 G, was the complainant. He
deposed th!Lt at a quarter past eight o'clock on the previous
evening the prisoner and some other boys were " playing
about" in Green-terrace, near :-..;adler's Wells Theatre.
The Clerk—What did they do? Complainant—They
created a great annoyance before I could get them away.
They were throwing stones.
Mr. COMBE-At anybody ? Policeman—No ; but we have
had frequent complaint of stones having been thrown there
and windows broken.

The little boy, who seemed au innocent, quiet, well-behaved
youth, denied most vehemently that he did so, and cried
bitterly.
Constable—He threw a stone at me, which passed quite
close to my head.
Mr. COMBE—Does anybody know the boy ?
Inspector Penny, of the G division, a most kntelligent
officer, said he knew the boy's parents for several p ars. In
fact he liNefi, next door to them. Mr. Butcher was a la-
pidary.
The Constable—He said " a d—d old Peeler."

The child—l never swore in all my life—it was the other
boy Miller.
Mr. COMBE (to the constable)—Have you any witness ?
Constable—No.
Mr. COMBE—HOW long has this man been in the force ?
Constable—Eighteen months.
Mr. COMBE (to the boy)—You have made yourself liable to
be sent to the House of Correction for a month.
The poor mother at this announcement, probably mistaking
its meaning, fainted away, and was carried out of Court.
Mr. COMBE directed that the boy should be locked-up
until four o'clock in the afternoon, when he would dis-
charge him.
The poor little fellow was led to the cells crying bitterly.

HORRIBLE MURDER ON BATTER
SEA-BRIDGE.

Last night, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock,
the hitherto quiet village of Battersea was thrown into the
utmost excitement, in consequence of the discovery of a most
diabolical murder which had been committed upon a poor
widow of the name of Sarah M'Farley, who for a long time
resided at No. 13, Bridge-road, Battersea, within a short dis-
tance of the bridge.
The circumstances which gave rise to the discovery were
as follows :—About twenty minutes before eleven o'clock,
Hall, the toll-collector of Battersea-bridge, was on duty at
the Surrey end of the bridge, when his attention was suddenly
attracted by perceiving the deceased walking very fast,
and crying out, " Oh dear me, look here how I have
been ill-used." Hall, on looking at the unfortunate crea-
ture, perceived blood running down the front of her dress,
but even then he thought the only injury she had re-
ceived was a blow, lie immediately laid hold of her,
when he noticed that she held a handkerchief to her neck.
Mrs. Hall, who happened to be in the toll-house, came
out and laid hold of deceased, but owing to the great quan-
tity of blood lost she fell senseless on the floor. It was then
ascertained that deceased had received a frightful wound in
the neck, and from its position and nature, it is obvious
that it was not committed by herself. Mrs. Hall having
ran into the adjoining public house and raised an alarm,
several persons promptly attended and carried deceased into
the public-house. Dr. Connor, the eminent medical gentle-
man of Battersea, was with all speed at the house, but by
the time he arrived the deceased had ceased to breathe. The
body was then removed to her late residence, and where it at
present remains until after the inquest shall have been held.
The murderer is not at present known, but strong suspi-
cion attaches to a Frenchman, named Dalmas. A female,
who resides at Chelsea, saw the deceased in his company a
short time before the occurrence. They were then upon
Battersea-bridge, and the deceased appeared to want to go
over the bridge towards her hone, but Danes wanted her

boat
(at least it so appeared) to go the other way. Dalmas, a hat
five weeks before Christmas last, buried his wife; Sin" tuji
period the deceased has had charge of his four daughters,
of whom she got comfortable situations for.
About half-past eight o'clock deceased and Dalmas' rang'
est daughter were observed to cross the bridge to Chelsea,
and it is reported for the purpose of taking the girl to her
situation.
It is reported in the neighbourhood that Dalmas bag lately
led a very dishonest life. The deceased, on the contrarh wre
a hard-working honest woman, and to support herself, 6'
used to let out apartments, and take in washing and ironing.
h.
The murder remains at present enveloped in mystcrY•
police have been in various directions to find Dalmas, bat ir
present without success, and great neglect is laid W the
charge by the inhabitants in letting him effect his escl)e;
It is pretty clear that lie took the Middlesex road, and I tbe
sufficient number of constables had, immediately after
discovery, been sent in that direction, they could not hal
failed in apprehending him.

.
alleged murderer has just been apprehended. in the neigebr
bourhood of Kensington. The police are dispatched thith„
to make inquiries. If such is the case he will be broue

greatest excitement still prevails.
