gent's Canal—a young woman, named Caroline Beale,
about 18 years of age, having committed a similar act

ceased and the young woman had, a few months ago,
formed an acquaintance, which resulted in a strong at-
tachment to each other, and they were to have .been
married at Eaver. On Sunday week they were to

have taken tea with an acquaintance of the young woman's,
named Amelia Bane, where the deceased went, according
to his appointment. Caroline Beale did not arrive till
some time after, when she remarked to him that she knew
he bad been taking tea with Amelia, and that if he pre-
ferred her she would have nothing to do with him. She
was in a very excited state, and left the house ; deceased
followed her, when she accompanied him a short distance
back, but the ran away, and the same night her body was
found in the canal, search having been made for it in con-

sequence of her bonnet and shawl being found on a stone
by the water-side. The young man, on being informed of
the melancholy event, was thrown into a state of great
distress, avowing his determination not to survive, the
girl; and requested to be buried in the sam*grave. He
was, in consequence, strictly watched. On Saturday
evening, however, his hat and coat were discovered on the
