parishioners will have the privilege of
vvorshipping in the
parish Church ? He complains of the shameful delayo
opening the new Church, and hints that as the Rev. G. ~
Gorham is so vervcrotchety, the summer may come and pass
away again before that sacred edifice will be available 10:
Divine Worship. Who is to blame in the matter is n°'
for us to say ; but we happen to know that the relatioll
between'Mr. Gorham and his parishioners are not of tho
friendly kind which ought to subsist between a clergyn3l4
and his flock. The truth is, the rev. gentieman has real
himself very unpopular in the parish, a marked proof 0
which was given by the attendance of only one of the tithe;
payers at a sumptuous dinner which he had provided, and
to which he invited all the tithe-payers except the 10
Churchwardens."

ALLEGED MURDER. OF A GENTLEMAN OF FoßTusf:l
—On Wednesday Elizabeth Vickers, a middle-aged an
well-dressed woman, was charged at Lambeth police'
court, with having, by violence, caused the death of fir.
perty,
William Jones, an aged gentleman of considerable Pr°,
with whom she had lived for many years as Louse
keeper. On the discovery of the death of the
it deceased';
who was upwards of 83 yeays old, strong suspicions rye
entertained that had been caused by unfair means, a,II,
this opinion became strengthened upon the fact being
disclosed that the prisoner became entitled by his will, te;
the great bulk of his large property, to the exclusion °
his immediate relatives, and these suspicions were CO,
siderably increased by the conduct of the prisoner sin,c',
e
the burial. The deceased expired very suddenly, and
answers given by the prisoner to the surgeon, Mr. 1
when he questioned her as to the symptoms he exhibited'
were very contradictory. There were several severe
bruises on his person, and the lower cartilage of the n°,
,e
was broken. No other person lived in the house but Via
prideceased. Some of the neighbours depnsea
to having seen the prisoner beat deceased violently, an
pull him about by his grey hair. The prisoner fir:..
a
quently came home intoxicated, and except Sundays, °l,
not been sober for an entire year. The deceased 'Lie
frequently told his neig I
hbours that he was " a reiserauc'e
man," and had also been heard groaning, as if in nt°n
agony. The prisoner, who betrayed the utmost coula
cern, was remanded, although it was intimated she 15.0
be committed to take her trial for wilful murder.
