REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF MEAT AT BARNSLEY.—
On Saturday last, by order of several butchers, the bellman
went round the town, announcing to the public that they
were offering prime beef at aid. to 4d. per lb., and legs of
mutton at 4d. to 44d. per lb. In consequence, a great quan-
tity was disposed of.
Low PRICE OF MEAT.—Within the last month the price
of meat at Leeds has undergone a decided reduction. During
the week and in the earlier parts of the market days, meat is
sold from 51d. to Gid. per lb., but on Saturdry evenings
good joints of both mutton an beef may be bought at 4d.
per lb. ; and less desirable cuts at 4d.
MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HER. HUSBAND.—Throughout
the whole of Friday last the utmost excitement prevailed in
the neighbourhood of Cripplegate, in consequence of a report
that a young woman named Doyle, living in Bell-yard,
Milton-sireet, bad been murdered by her husband. On in-
quiry, it was found to be too true. The following account,
though brief, is the most correct that could be gathered. It
appears the poor woman Doyle lived with her husband (who
an Irish labourer) in a cottage built on the skittle ground
of the Weavers' Arms, a beer shop situated at the bottom of
Bell-yard. On Wednesday night she went to bed previous
to his returning home, and (according to the account given
by the neighbours) about three o'clock on Thursday he came
home and asked her for some money. She denied having
any, and he flew to a box in which she used to keep her
money, and which, on breaking it open, he found to be empty.
Enraged at this, he dragged her out of bed, beat her, and
after stamping on her chest and stomach, went away, leaving
her in a state of insensibility. It is supposed the poor crea-
ture managed to get into bed again, for the next day she was
found in an almost dying state. Mr. Blyth, surgeon, of Bar-
bican, was sent for, but she made no statement to him as to
the cause of her illness. He rendered her all ti

ance that lay in his power. and left her. On Friday morn-
ing, about six o'clock, Doyle returned, and begged of her to
forgive him. The poor woman told him to make his escape,
for she knew the hand of death was upon her. He then ab-
sconded. She shortly after expired. These circumstances
becoming known, information was given at the Moor-street
station, and steps were taken for his apprehension. The
poor woman has left two children, one by Doyle, and one by
a former husband, to deplore her loss.—Times.
