CHARGE OF MURDER.--Yesterday an investiga-
tion took place at this office relative to the death of
a young Man, named 'William Browning, twenty-
seven years of age, who died in one of the Borough
hospitals that day, in consequence of injuries sus,:
tained in his head by a blow of a poker' alleged to
have been inflicted by a man named South, alias '
Stacey, who has since absconded. The deceased
was a baker by trade. About five weeks ago he
was sitting in the Angel public-house, in Webber-.
street, Lambeth, with South and two, other men,
when a elispute arose between the deceased and
South respecting a bet of sixpence, during which
the former struck South a slight slap on the side of
the head that knocked off his hat. The moment
South received the blow (wiliah was very slight),
he snatched up the poker and struck the deceased
a violent stroke with it on. the temple that prostrated
hiM along the floor, and repeated it while the un-
fortunate man was lying in a state of insensibility
from the effects of the first outrage. The poker was
then wrested from South, who contrived to escape
from the house, and had not been heard of since.
Two wounds were found on the deceased's head,
one on the temple and the other on the back part
of the head. Yesterday Browning expired. A
warrant was issued againSt South, who is supposed
to have gone on board a ship brand for South
America.
