For some years put an attractive looking young woman, named Shaw, who has a number of relatives in this locality, has led a very dimoluate life, and fill' CODAderable period she cohabited with a journeyman butcher, natured Martin, who was formerly in the service of Mr. Edward Wilson, butcher, of Northbrook-street, but was discharged from his employment for theft. He subeequently conducted himself badly, and was committed to Reading Gaol for a brutal assault on the girl Shaw. He has recently returned to the neighbourhood, and last night he was seen drinking with her at a pnblio-house in the town, Shaw being in company with another man, who it appears accompanied her to her home, a short distance witlaout the boundary of the borough. At an early hour this morning Martin went to some neighbours of Shaw's, and inquired if they did not hear a row in the house last night, and replying in the affirmative they expressed their belief that he knew something about it. Afte he r this walked away, and the suspicions of the neighbours being aroused, the house of Shaw was entered, and the bedroom presented a frightful spectacle. The unfortunate woman was lying greatly disfigured and quite dead, and the man who had been seen in her company last night was found in a dreadful state of suffering. The murderer had evidently used a butcher's implement and battered Shaw's head in a merciless manner, and it was clear that the poor creature had done the best to defend ff. herself with her hands, as several of her fingers were chop about, ped o Her paramour's head had also been beateu and the surgeons who were called in extracted several pieces of his skull. He lies in a most precarious condition. It appears that the murderer, after conversing with the neighbours this morning, went tote walked public-house, took a glass of beer, and morning, eat to Enborne, where he took off some of his clothes, and having tied his legs, jumped into the Kennet and Avon Canal, his body being found soon afterwards. The paramour of Shaw had lately come to Newbury to conduct a beer-house for his brother, who had been committed to gaol for some offence. An inquest will be held before the coroner for the the district to-morrow. The county of Berke has, during of thim past few years, been remarkably free from crimes serious character, and the excitement prevailing in the locality in consequence of this tragedy has not been equalled for a very considerable period.
