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, had 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
is 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 states. 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 the assist-
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, informatif nt was given at the Moor-street
station, and steps were taken for his apprehension. The
poor woman has left two cb ildren one by Doyle, and one by
a former husband, to deplore her loss.—Times.
