TUE SUPPOSED MURDER AND SUICIDE. —An accowit was given in the Express yesterday of a woman named Ann Davies, of Manchester, who had murdered her child, and left the house, with the view, it was supposed, of putting a period to her own existence. The conjecture has proved correct, the unfortunate woman's body having been discovered on Sunday in a tub of water at the back of the house. Though she had left home on Friday morning, and the canal was searched, the water-butt was never examined, from the circumstance that it was so elevated RS to lead to the conclusion the she could cot have got at it. The means by which she did ascend to it are not known. She had got into the tub, feet downwards, and crouched down so that the water might cover her. There can be little doubt that she hail drowned herself in this way immediately after destroying her child.  •••••••••••:.. property of John Edward Stacey, of Trent ; the third with haring stolen, on the 11th of April, 17 sbtwp, the properiy of Noah Ford, of Stowrli; the fourth with haring, on 04 7th of April, stolen three sheep, thz property of W.
