NEW SOUTH WALES.

THE SUSSEX STKEET MUKDJJK. (From the Empire, Oct. -23.) On last Sunday night the police were successful in finding the rest- of the remains of the body of the unfortunate woman lately murdered in Sussex street. It appears that at -about the time the murder is supposed to have been committed, the man Scott got a boy, about sixteen or seventeen years of .age, to help him to carry away a box from the house in Sussex street, where the murder is supposed to have been committed. "When the boy went into the house for the box, ho could not find it for some time, it being night, and there was no candle in the house.° At the time he perceived a very bad smell in the room in which tiie box was, and when he found that the smell came from the box he said to Scott, " What have you got here ?" (meaning the box). Scott replied " Oh ! it is only some bad beef I'm carrying away." They proceeded along Sussex street, until tliey came as far as the corner <.>f Go-album street, when the boy beciime so impressed that it was a human body that was in the box, that he would not carry it any further. He then put down the box, and made an excuse that it was too heavy for ljii a, and went away and told another boy that he was sure that he had' been carrying a dead human body. Scott then want and got another boy, who helped him to carry the box further, till they came to the corner of Bathurst street. Here the boy said he would go no further, and put down the box on the ground. Near where he left the bov # at the corner of .Bathurst street, there is an. old yard partly, fenced in. The prisoner got the boy to,, help him with the box into the yard beside the fence. -The boy then did so, and the two of them then went in search of a barrow. The hoy left prisoner. In this same yard there is an old water-closet -that is open to. all the tenants in that neighborhood. ' The police could not trace the box" past this spot. Senior-sergeant Waters went to the. watercloset on Sunday afternoon and looked down it, but could see nothing. However, he and Senior - sergeant Taylor, accompanied by the witness Kirkpatrick' again visited the closet at ten o'clock the same night, and took Avith them some drags and hooks, which they let down the closet, and with the first pull they fished up a large lump of flesh. .'iThey then brized up some of the floor boards, and found floating on the? surface of the water |ne arm ami a foot. They then procured lie assistance of a nightman, and had the loset emptied, and among. the soil they ftund the remaining portions of the body. to limbs were all dissected in the most' tofnl manner. Only one bone is missing. jp remains were at once cleansed and * to Dr Renwiek.
