On Tuesday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, as a cart was going into the yard of Mr.
Pickwoutl, the White Bear Inn, Basinghall-
street, sonic thieves stole thereout a truss, con.
taining eight pieces of woollen cloth, value about'
SOI. They opened the truss, and dropped two
pieces near Addle street, which were recovered,
but made their escape with the other six piees.
On the evening of the sth lust. a most inhuman
murder was committed on the hotly of the wife of
John IVilliams, a farmer, of Broad-Oak, near
Whitchurch, at Nurbury, iu Cheshire, supposed
to have been perpetrated by her husband. Ois
the morning of that day, they had paid a visit and
spent the day with Williams'. father, and in the
evening, about six o'clock, they both set off on
their return horne. The next morning a neighbour-
ing farmer discovered the body in a pit, situated
in a field near the road, where they must have
passed on their return home. On examining the
body, marks of strangolation were discovured ;
and there is every reason to suppose, that the
inhuman husband, after having strangled her, had
thrown her into the pit. Ile has not since b..en
heard of, but the must diligerst search is making
after him. Tho unfortunate worouo had one
child, about nine months old, which she had left
at hone. 'flue Coroner's inquest, after a mi-
nute ex mination which lasted two days, returned
