Murders. An Appalling Murder Has Been Co...
MURDERS . An appalling murder has been committed at the village of Tushingham , near Malpas , in Cheshire , the murderer being a labouring man named Taylor , and the victim his own child , a boy about seven years of age . It appears that the attention of the neighbours was attracted by the younger children complaining that their brother was ill , and that they were shut out of the house and could not tret to him . On looking through a window one of the neighbours discovered the boy lying on the floor weltering in his blood . An entrance was forced into the house , and it was ascertained that the skull of the child had been split with an axe . Taylor was fouud up stairs in bed , and was immediately accused of the murder . He was m a sullen state of mind , and being given into custody a
coroner ' s inquest was held , when , after the depositions of the witnesses had been taken , he confessed himself guilty , and was committed for trial . Although in very poor circumstances , it does not appear that absolute want drove him to commit the crime . On the 29 ih of October , 1848 , a deal box , about fourteen inches square and ten and a half inches deep , sewn up in a piece of canvas , and which had the direction on it , " Mrs . Watson , passenger , Exeter , Devon , " found on the platform of the Slough station by one of the porters . As no one applied for it , after a few weeks it was brought up to London and placed in the lost property department . On Saturday last , the 1 st of June , that being the annual day when lost property is examined , Mr . Bailey , the superintendent of that
department , opened the box , and discovered , carefully folded up in a piece of calico , the body of a child about eighteen months old , but so horribly mutilated that its sex could not be discovered . It had all the appearance of a mummy , having been evidently pressed down in the box . A cambric handkerchief was tied tightly round its throat . The sexual structure was entirely removed , as if by some sharp instrument . There were cuts about the arms and legs , showing that there had been attempts to sever the limbs from the body . Mr . Collard , superintendent of police , and Mr . Seymour , manager to the company , have been attempting to discover the perpetrator of the murder , but without effect . At an inquest , on Tuesday , a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown" was returned . Hookand Elizabeth Bubb
A man named ltichard , , sister of his deceased wife , have been committed for trial at the next Gloucester Assizes on the chage of causing the death of Maria Hook , aged four years , daughter of the male prisoner , by keeping her without proper food and raiment . The body of the child weighed only six pounds . A woman named Elizabeth Thew , aged only nineteen , and three months married , has been committed for trial at the Worcester Assizes for the murder of her child ( a few weeks old ) by throwing it down a coalpit . It is said that the man who drove the car on the occasion of the murder of the unfortunate Mr . Mauleverer is disposed to reveal the whole particulars of the horrid transaction , of which there is no doubt he is fully cognisant . A second man , named M'Atevey , is in custody , charged with the offence .

[ According to the Globe this announcement is premature ] . Amongst the changes spoken of in high judicial and law offices , the retirement of Vice-Chancellor Wigrarn is
confidently mentioned . In that event , it is higtily probable that an act of Parliament will be passed to continue the office , and that it will be conferred on Sir J .

A vacancy would thus be created in the Court of Exchequer , which would , of course , be filled by Sir J . Jervis , the Attorney-General , if he should think proper to accept the appointment . Mr . Cockburn and Mr Page Wood will , it is understood , be Attorney and Solicitor General , when the occasion arrives . —Weekly Chronicle . ...
