UHIILD MURDER.-baturday, a great crowd was collect- ed in the Dover-road, Southwark, and the inhabitants ofthat popu- lous district were thrown into a state of extreme excitation, in con- sequence of the body of a child, apparently about three months old, having been found murdered. The body was discovered concealed under a dung-heap, situate on a waste piece of ground not far dis- teant from the Swan public-house Great Dover-street, by somnc chil- dren who were at play. The heA of the infant was beaten to pieces, and the brains were found upon the cloth which enveloped the car- cass. The features of thc face haul evidently been destroyed to pre- vent the body being identified. Thc pirochial officers being inform- e d of the discovery, had the body removed to a neighbouring tavern for on inqueSt to be held thereon. The body was washed, and a me- dical maw was sent for to exanine it, for the purpose of giving his evidence before the coroner and jury.
