An atrocious murder was discovered, near Petersfield, on Thursday morning last. The unfortunate victim is supposed to have been in the habit of travelling the country with crockeryware. His body was discovered about 10 o’clock in the morning, in a hay-field, close adjoin the turnpike road, within a quarter of a mile of Petersfield; his breeches, or pantaloons, and hat, were missing; the body, which had several mortal stabs about it, did not appear to have lain long in this state: on his shirt was marked “Z. Searson, No. 7, 1811” The perpetrator of this foul and apparently cold-blooded act, is supposed to be a sailor, with whom the deceased was seen in company on the previous afternoon and evening. The sailor is a short stature; and it is supposed he went on board the Vengeur, in this harbour, to enter; but that ship not being in want of men, he was landed, at his particular request, on the Gosport shore, near Forton. Mr. Hunt took the most active and judicious means to trace his steps there.—Portsmouth Telegraph.
