MURDER IN LONDON.  A brutal murder was perpetrated early on Sunday morning at a low lodging-house in Francis Row, Newport Market, Loudon. William Bishop, a hawker of herrings, aged 44, and Mary Ann Ford, about :ten years younger, who had for the last three years liyed together as man and wife, occupied the :front room on the second floor of the house No. 13. Both were addicted to drink, and. quarrels were of even more than daily occurrence, On Saturday night they went out and returned between twelve and one o'clock, when both were observed to be the worse for drink, Ford, it was stated, being the worse ..of the two. A quarrel took place in which the man accused Ford of-Ddrloiniug 3s 61 from his pockets, which ''she stoutly denied, :and a fight ensued. The woman sought protection with a Mrs. Allen, who occupied a room on the same floor, but Bishop followed her, dragged her out, and again beat her with his fists, and also kicked her about the body. Having returned to their own room, nothing more was heard of them until between five and six o'clock on Sunday morning, when Bishop fetched,his sister. Other persons in the house were communicated with, but a doctor was not snit for until some hours later, When Dr. Rogers was called in he found the wo•nan Ford quite dead, and, moreover, gave it as his opinion that life had been extinct some hours. It is stareu that the body of the deceased womanis covered with bruises from .head to foot, and that there is an open wound on time head.
