QUERN-SQUARIL--•-MIJRDER.—The following inves.
Ligation of the assassination in Newton's-court, Strand,
on the night of Sunday three weeks, took place yes-
terday before PATRICK COLQUIIOI.:\, Esq.—On Mors-
day last six summonses were issued to bring the par.
ties concerned before the Magistrates, to endeaVour
fathom this mysterious case, as the wounded man
has not been heard of since the evening begone men-
tioned.—John Read, a watchman of St. Martin's pi-
. inn, said, that on the night in question he heard the
ay of " Murder!" in Newton's-court, Strand., He
directly went to the spot, and saw a man lying on the
ground bleeding most profusely. He asked who had
wounded him, and Mrs. Brocklow, who keeps a bro-
thel in the court, answered that Dodd did it ; that
Dockery, another watchman, came up, and they took
him to the watch-house ; that he wished to go into
the air just alter, being faint; that he went out, and
that he never has been able to find him since; he ac-i
cidentally met Dodd in Chanchs-street, abut ten mi-
nutes alter, and took him into custody.—Ann Webb'
says, sho lives in Newton's-court ; was sleeping by
the fire-side on Sunday night; was awoke by two
girls, who were saying that a man lay dead. She'.
went to the door and saw the ntzin ; he appeared to
bleed very mueii. She saw the watchmen take him
away, and has since heard that the man was dead,
and that Dodd was the person that :trick him, but
did not see Dodd at all. She knew that Dodd for-
merly lived ;at Mrs. l3rocklow's house. Ann Brock-
low lives in Newton's-court, denies having said to the
watchman that Dodd was the man who wounded the
sailor.—Sophia Richardson mid Mary Mead, who
were among the *mintier summoned, did not appear,
and Mr. COLQUHOUN ordered warrants to be issued,

house, said lie had made every enquiry to bpd oat the
wounded man, but he did not succeed; however, as
the Magistrate had remanded the prisonertill Mon-
day next—by that time, he had not the least doubt,
he should be able to unravel the mystery., be having
been informed by Bradley, a constable, that he had
received information that the sailor was since, dead,
and that they had agreed to go to the place this after-
noon to discover the body; that when he left the
watch-house he passed through the court where he
was wounded, and he had no doubt but the roan was
concealed by the parties concerted with Dodd in the
affair.
It was stated in mistake that Joseph Kingston
fired a pistol at J. Davies, at one o'clock ors Sunday
morning; it was Davies who fired at Kingston, and
lie was orought before the Magistrate yesterday ;, but
it appears, as no harm was done to either only, their
friends had accommodated matters. Kingston did
not appear, and the other was discharged. • ,
