The Norwich Murd E It. A Murder Has Been...
" Daring the week several persons who have lately lost relatives have called at the station house to ascertain if they could identify the remains , but no clue has yet been found . " The inquiry has been prosecuted with great vigour . Mr . Yarington , having procured lurchers , bloodhounds , and other dogs of scent , proceeded , on Monday , with a body of constables , to search all the fields and hedges in the suburbs of the city . The
result was the discovery of intestines , lungs , and a portion of viscera , all of which were immediately submitted to the inspection of Dr . Copeman , Mr . Balrymple , Mr . Nicholls , and Mr . Norgate . It should also be stated that near a heap of refuse in Bishopgate-street were found several pieces of linen and woollen fabrics , stained with blood , all of which have been carefully preserved by the superintendent of police .
The next step taken by Mr . Yarington was to have the river Yare and all its tributaries carefully dragged , the result of which was the discovery of a black velvet bonnet , evidently the property of a person in a respectable sphere of life . In a field where several large pieces of flesh had been found , and to which the especial attention of the police had been directed , a discovery was made at a late hour on Monday evening . During the day the grass was mown , and a human thigh-bone was found . Dr . Copeman was called upon to examine it , and he found that the flesh had been torn away from the bone in a barbarous manner , and that the bone
itself had been sawn nearly through with a rough instrument . This part of the body was found at a place called Hellesden , near St . Augustine's-gate , in the immediate neighbourhood of Norwich , in an entirely opposite direction to that from which other portions have been taken . During the whole of Monday and Tuesday pieces of flesh have been brought into the city station-house by persons who are conducting the search , all of which the surgeons at once declare to be portions of the same body . They are placed in spirits of wine for preservation . It has been clearly established that the murdered woman , whoever she may be , was not an inhabitant of the city of Norwich at the time of her death . The
handbills issued by the Mayor had a good effect . As many as eight persons waited upon Mr . Yarington , who having received the necessary details , set operations on foot for tracing the missing persons , and it is a remarkable fact that by six o ' clock on Monday night he liad succeeded in obtaining satisfactory evidence of the whereabouts of the whole of them . It has also been ascertained that 'he work has not been that of a " resurrectionist , " f > r it is established on the clearest medical testimony that the body has never been interred . It has also been proved to the satisfaction of the surgeons that the person died by violence , the hands being clenched and the toes contracted , which would not have been the case in death from natural causes .
A young man named Eaton was arrested on Tuesday , but the magistrates did not feel themselves justified in detaining him . The following is a list of the portions of the body found up to eleven o ' clock on Tuesday morning : — About twenty pieces of flesh , varying in size , and from different pavts of the body ; one hand perfect , belonging to the right arm ; one foot , wrenched with violence from the tendon of Achilles ; two of the smaller bouea of the leg ; a portion of the pelvis ; thirteen pieces of the intestines ; portions of the lunge ; portions of the back-bone , with the ribs sawn off ; portions of the viscera , two thifjh bones , severul pieces of fat , portions of the spinal joints , several ligaments belonging to the joints of the pelvis , one shin bone , live pieces of muscle und akin .

It I O T S. The Htreota Of Liverpool Fin...
It I O T S . The Htreota of Liverpool find the union workhouse of Kathkeale have each been the scene of a tremendous riot . Two drunken soldiers wore walking up Dalcstreot on Saturday ni < -ht , insulting all whom they met , and followed by a policeman , who was " afraid to interfere , because ho had no one to back him . " At length the behaviour of the soldiers became bo violent that the policeman felt obliged to remonstrate . The answer he received was a blow in the face . A struggle ensued , concluded by the nrrivul of another countable , and the capture of the offenders . On Sunday night the riot was renewed by a private named M ' Fendiies , declaring that the soldiers intended to have their revenge for the seizure of their comrades , and forthwith assaulting the- first policeman he met . lie wiih arrested , but nt that moment a picket of soMier-i headed b y their sergeant , with his bayonet drawn , rushed down Dale-street and rescued M'Fen dries . Ho was , however , uftcrwards Surrendered to the civil power .
These skirmishes were , it seems , only the prelude to a regular battle , which took place on Monday night . Tho soldiers met nt a public-house , and marched thenco into Dale-street , their cro . su-belt * uiifuutcucd , and there m'icle a cowardly attack upon ft policeman namod Duggun . They beat him severely , marched away , pitching into all tlio constables they met , up Shaw ' s-brow , where the police in great forco
had mustered . Here the chaplain cf the regiment interfered , the soldiers dispersed in small parties , and even suffered one of their number to be arrested . But the dispersion was a " ruse de guerre . " They continued to beat all the Peelers who came in their way . . These latter were not behindhand in retorting hard knocks , though it is reported the soldiers had their side-arms . Ultimately , after a running fight between the two powers for about an hour , twentyfive soldiers were captured ; but as there were strong parties still at large , and constant reinforcements , who had scaled the barrack-walls , coming up to the
field of battle , two pickets of soldiers were ordered out , with instructions to arrest all their comrades who were in the streets . This finished the fray . When the pickets marched out fully armed , it is reported that they were cheered by the mob ; a statement which creates grave suspicions that the police were not so amiable and gentle as represented . It is clear , however , that the soldiers of the Ninetyfirst Eegimenthave the profoundest contempt for the civil power of Liverpool ; for when placed in the dock , they refused to remove their caps , even at the command of the court .
The Rathkeale riot is one of quite a different kind . The police and soldiers at Liverpool fight , because they cannot bpar the pangs of wounded vanity ; the paupers of Rathkeale get up a row , because unfortunately they are so constructed as to be susceptible to the pangs of hunger . The Limerick Reporter has detailed the whole affair : — "A violent insurrection and riot took place in the workhouse of Rathkeale , on Sunday last . The dietary , as it is called , of that house is on the most reduced scale ; for breakfast , to able-bodied men , eight ounces of Indian meal in stirabout , and twelve ounces of Egyptian corn and barley-meal mixed in equal proportions for dinner , and one ounce less , both at breakfast and dinner , for full-grown women . The riot was at one time extremely
violent . In the main workhouse grown men are but a small minority—that class are quickly transferred to the hospital , the infirm ward , or the two-shilling coffin . The active rioters were mostly women and young boys , who kept up a continued Bhower of stones on all who approached the workhouse-gate , which they had locked and barricaded . Mr . John Brown was severely pelted . ^ Mr . Collins , stipendiary , having ventured in , was detained ; and on his attempting to get out by opening the gate , he was severely pelted , and would , it is not unlikely , have been seriously injured , but for the intervention of Mr . Leahy , the master of the establishment . Mr . Fitzgibbon , the clerk , who is greatly respected , Archdeacon Fitzgerald , & c , endeavoured in vain to
restore order , and at length the police and military ( Fifty-second Foot ) , forced their way , under a tremendous shower of stones , about two o ' clock , into the yard of the workhouse . The captain commanding the detachment of the Fifty-second , showed no less determination than humanity . He deemed it unnecessary to load , and was the first to enter at the gate , which had been forced open with the greatest intrepidity , under a tremendous shower of stones , by sub-constable Jasper . The moment the gate was forced , all resistance ceased , and the soldiers showed the greatest forbearance . Not so the police constables , some of whom were seen to beat the unhappy paupers in the most brutal and unwarranted manner . A boy named Kean , an assistant in the hospital , who being a sort of official , and wholly unconnected with the
riot , sat on a wall , thinking himself quite secure , was dragged down and brutally beaten by policemen , in spite of the earnest remonstancea of Mr . Collins , who was on the spot , and who asked them in vain not to ill-treat a prisoner . Another policeman was , on the investigation to-day , called up to prosecute a supposed rioter . His whole evidence consisted in stating that tic had knocked down the prisoner in the hall . The clerk of the union , Mr . Fitzgibbon , described the man so knocked down as his ablest assistant in trying to restore order ]; and this policeman , who had thus confessed before the bench that he had committ d an outrage on an unarmed and unoffending person , walked away proud of his achievement . It ia but fair to say , that some of the police had been pelted severely ; but that formed no justification of the brutal violence to prisoners and innocent persons . "
Mantraps Inspector Lund And Sergeant Whi...
MANTRAPS Inspector Lund and Sergeant Whicher have ingeniously contrived to capture two thieves named Tyler and Cauty . The speaker in tho following narration is Inspector Lund , gvving evidence at Murlborouglifitreet , on Monday . The whole story is a curious illustration of the methods employed by tho police to watch and catch gentlemen of confused ideas'on the subject of property : — " While waiting with Sergeant Wliicher , also of the detective foroe , in Trafalgar-square , on the . ' { 1 st of May , tliey saw Tyler coming along with a great coat over his urni . Whicher immediately recognized liim as an old
acquaintance , and in consequence of wliat Whlolier suid they decided on watching Tyler ' s movements . Lund followed Tyler into St . James ' s park , und in a short time ho wan joined by Cauty , who was also well known to the police . The illustrious pair shook hands and nut down on one of the benches where milk is sold . After a conversation of about twenty minutes' duration they left the [ inik nnd went together to the London and Westminster Junk ut the corner of Charles street , St . James ' s- square . Cuuty entered the bank and Tyler waited at the opposite corner . Ctuily cutne out in about ten minutes und made Homo movement with his hand to Tyler , who immediately came across the road and joined him . The two entered the bank together and remained about twenty minutes .
The rule of the bank is to shut the doors at four o ' clock . They therefore were shut in with the customers . Lund saw them leave the bank , and shortly afterwards they separated . On the following Saturday * June the 7 th , Lund save Tyler in St . James ' s-park , sitting on a bench near one of the milk-stands . Caut , soon afterwards joined him , and both went to thy London and Westminster Bank again . Cau'y ' went iue and Tyler remained outside . Cauty came out of tho bank and walked round St . James B-equ & re , and went again to the bank , where he remained about ten minutes . Cauty then came out and was joined by Tyler . After walking a little way they separated . On the 14 th the same thing again occurred with Cauty and Tyler , and
having made a report to the commissioners of police , Lund went , by the authority of Mr . Commissioner Mayne , to the bank , and communicated to the principals his . suspicions . Certain arrangements were then made in anticipation of a robbery . On the 21 st Lund again saw Tyler in the park . Cauty almost immediately afterwards joined hi m , and they went together into a publichouse in Pall-mall . The prisoners went again to the bank , Cauty , as before , going in and Tyler remaining at the opposite corner . Cauty came out and lifted his hat twice , and Tyler came over to him , and after a short conversation they entered the bank together . Tyler having , as on former occasions , a great coat over his
arm . A police constable having entered the bank , Cauty and Tyler immediately left . On the 28 th , witness saw Cauty in St . James ' s pa « k , smoking a cigar . Tyler joined him about three , and the prisoners walked to the public-house in . Pall-mall . Lund immediately proceeded to Lord Dartmouth ' s residence , which is opposite the bank ; and , having previously obtained bis lordship ' s permission , stationed himself in the hall . While on the watch , he saw Cauty enter the bank . Cauty came out and lifted his hat , and Tyler joined him , and went into the bank . In about three minutes Tyler came out , followed by Cauty , Tyler carrying a bag with something like a cashbox in it . ' Lund and Whicher followed them
nearly as far as Regent-street before they stopped them . Lund took Tyler into custody , and asked him what he had in the bag . He replied , ' A box ; ' and he repeatedly denied , in the hearing of Cauty , that he knew Cauty , or had ever before seen him in his life . Cauty , when appealed to , said , ' So help me —— , I never saw the man before . ' The ingenious pair were removed to the stationhouse , and the bag examined . It was found to contain a large sized cashbox , which wag identified as the property of the London and Westminster Bank . " The result of this evidence , followed by that of Sergeant Whicher , was , that Cauty and Tyler , having been undermined by Lund and Whicher , were both committed for trial .
Annual Meeting Of The British Associatio...
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION . The British Association " comes of age" this year , and Ipswich has been chosen for the celebration of its majority ; and the preliminary proceedings began on Wednesday morning . Professor Airy , the Astronomer Royal , who is the President for the year , delivered his inaugural address in the evening . Prince Albert ' s visit on Thursday added to the attraction of the meeting . He started from Shoreditch about half-past eight , and proceeded in the state carriage by special train to Ipswich , which ho reached at about a quarter to eleven .
A multitude of flags , wreaths of laurel , floral devices , and banners , gave to the station the air of a gay pavilion , and on the purple cloth on the landing plated to receive the Royal feet , was scattered such a profusion of ruse leaves fresh and flitting as would have taken away sleep from a Sybaris . It should bo stated here that at Colchester and Bfveral other places flags and wreaths were also displayed , though the exhibition of rejoicing at Ipswich was , of course , surpassingly good and effective . A guard of honour of the Second Dragoon Guards , or Queen ' s Bays , dismounted , was drawn up along the platform . The Prince at once went into the tent placed outside the platform , whero he was received by the Mayor , Mr . Long ; | the Recorder , und other civic authorities , by Sir W . Middleton , ot Shrublands , his host for the night , and h large circle of the distinguished persons assembled at Ip « wich .
The Recorder , Mr . Powell , read a complimentary address , to which tho Prince gave the customary complimentary reply . When tins business was over , he proceeded through the crowded streets to visit the sections of the association , which meet ut the following places : —¦ A . Mathematics and Physic ? ., Town hall Councilchamber ; li . Chemistry , & c , Old Assembly-rooms ; C . Geology , Temperance-hull ; J ) . Natural History , Mechanics' Institute ( Theatre ); li ,..
