BRUTAL MURDER IN LONDON.  The neighbourhood of Bellhaven-street, a poor locality at the East-end of London, has been the scene of a very cruel murder, the victim being a Mrs. Hemmings, aged 39, wife of Thomas Hemmings, who is a foreman of the cigar and tobacco warehouse of the London and St. Katherine's Decks, residing at 62, Bellhaven-street, Grove-road, Mileend. The husband left home at his usual time, a few minutes before eight o'clock on Friday, and his son followed about three quarters of an hour afterwards. They were both absent all day, and on the return of the husband at half-past five o'clock he found the street door fastened, and could get no response to his repeated knocks. He then obtained a key from a neighbour, and on entering the house and proceeding to the kitchen was surprised to find his wife stretched on the ground. Tbere was a terrible wound over the left eyebrow, and two smaller ones, which had evidently been inflicted after the fink and fatal blow. The floor was covered with blood which had flowed from the wounds, inflicted apparently by a heavy kitchen poker found smeared with blood. It seems that the poor woman was in the habit of getting her husband's dinner about the time of his return home, which is usually about five o'clock, and was apparently engaged in so doing at the time she was murdered. Information was given to the police, who called Dr. Garman, of Bow-road, the divisional surgeon of the /I Division, who examined the deceased, and found the injuries as above. A medical examination showed that the third and fourth fingers of the poor woman's left hand were severely lacerated. This was attributed to the fact of her wedding-ring and keeper having been forcibly torn off, she herself having been unable for some time past to remove them in consequence of a swollen joint caused by rheumatism. A lady's silver watch, which had been hanging over the mantel-piece, was found to have been taken away. It is surmised that the place was entered by a burglar while the woman was alone in the house, and that on her attempting to raise an alarm she was murdered. Stephen Hemmings, the stepson of the deceased, has been arrested on suspicion. He has been, it is reported, positively identified by witnesses as having been seen near the premises on the afternoon of the murder. He will be taken before the magistrate at the Thames Police Court.
