SHOCKING DISCOVERY AT STAMFORDHILL, LONDON.  A few mornings ago, between seven anil eight o'clock, a discovery of a shocking character was made by a young man In the employ of the North London Tramways Company. In going to his work he had to go through Charles-street, which leads to some unbuilton hind, a spot of a most lonely character. On the right hand side on a square piece of vacant unfenced ground and close against the wooden palings of St. Solin's Chapel-of-F:18e, he saw a man crawling slowly on his hands and knees towards the roadway, who, eon examination he found, had his throat cut in a fearful manner. He at mice communicated with the police, and Dr. Wilson was summon.' to the spot, who had the sufferer conveyed io the house of Henry Brightwell, in Charles-street, where his injuries were attended to, and at. ambulance having been brought from Stoke Newington Police-station, he was conveyed to the (Ivrea= lio.pital, whore he remains in a very precarious condition. In the meanwhile his wife was discovered searching about the neighbourhood for her husband, who had left home about seven o'clock the previous evening with 2s. to go on an errand to Stoke Newington, and whom she had not seen since. She said his name wa, William Roles, of 144, Tewkesbury-road, Seven Sisters-rood, and in answer to her qumtions he said in a whisper, " Three boys did it." lie then made Signs of having been knocked about, and pointed to his waistcoat anti trousers pockets, all of which were turned oat, and no part of the money he left with was found on him. A new river covered in gore was found near the largest clot of blood which lay on the ground, whilst there are a number of linger marks of blood on the church palings, as if SOnleuite had wiped their hands backwards and forwards upon thew, and several smaller ones exist between there and where the man had crawled to. The friends of the injured man do not encourage the idea of Ida having attempted suicide, as he was a sober limn, 58 year, of age, had Leon • teetotaller for Sin years, and never shaved himself, as he had a fear of the razor. The blood on his throat waif congealed, which leads to the idea that the man must have lain on the waste gnaw' where he was found all night, and he made signs to his wife that he had got no further the night before on his way to Stoke Newington. The matter is la the hands of Detective Riker, of the Stoke Newington division, who Is making full Inquiries with a view to ascertaining the truth of the matter.
