HORRID MURDER.—II is With regret we lay be-
fore our readers the following particulars of a most horrid murder,
committed on Monday last, in a part of Devonshire rarely marked
by the commission of so atrocious a crime; jealousy appears to
have provoked the horrid deed. The perpetrator is said to be in
tolerable circumstances, and at present has escaped from Justice.
Yesterday an inquest was held in the parish of Ashbury, in this
county, by Francis Kingdom, Esq., one of the Coroners, on view
of the bodies of Miss Sarah Glass, aged 24, and Master Thomas
Glass, aged 14, who were found lying in the morning on Wadland
Downs, two yards from each other, with their throats cut, It
appeared by the evidence, that the deceased left their homes about
a quarter past seven o'clock the preceding evening, for the pur-
pose of meeting the mother of the deceased Sarah Glass, on her
return from her son's, who lived at Northlew ; and that, in going
to Northlew, they had to pass over Wadland Downs, where the
murder had been committed. The mother, who was on horse-
back, returned over Wadland Downs about a quarter past nine ;
and, on her entering the Downs, her horse startled, which it had
not been accustomed to do. On the following morning, about
a quarter past seven o'clock, Mr. Tucker and his servant had to
pass over the Downs, when they discovered the dead bodies on
the ground ; there were a lantern and hat near where the bodies
lay, and a butcher's knife near the body of Sarah Glass ; a hand-
kerchief lay over the body of Thomas Glass, which had been cut
in two pieces, and which, it is presumed, had been stuffed into
the mouth of the deceased ; and that, while the boy was pulling
it out, the murderer cut his throat, and in doing it cut the hand-
kerchief also. The bodies were found at the place where Mrs.
Glass's horse had startled on the preceding night, and Where, no
doubt, the murder had been committed. The knife and handker
chief before alluded to, were identified to be the property of
Thomas Friend, who has absconded.—The Jury returned a verdict
of Wilful Murder against Thomas Friend, and the Coroner imme-
diately issued a warrant for apprehending him. Friend had lived
for eleven years in the service of the mother of the deceased Sarah
Glass, and during that period had saved money. It appeared that
he had repeatedly solicited the affections of the deceased which
she had refused. Friend is supposed to be gone towards Plymouth
