THE YARMOUTH MURDER.

We learn from the Norwich Mercury that the prisoners
charged with this atrocious offence were re- examined on
Thursday last, but the public and the reporters were
excluded.

The Mercury says :—lt was expected at this examina-
tion that the prisoners would be fully committed to stand
their trial at the Spring Assize, in which case they will
be immediately il,T.div(..rod into the charge of the County
ShErritf.

son and Wailer. Sergeant Willamvnt, Mr. H. Worship,

male pi-toner, wa* discharged, and no evidence appears
to have been received up to a late hour last evening to

on the 9th or No'iember last, and therefore was but one

„ The tragedy 'of Macbeth was performed at this

feared that the character of Lady Nlacbeth would
task her powers too highly. It is true she looked
rather too youthful for the part, but her performance
