This day
Tbe inquest on the body of Mrs Young was resumed this morning at Kyeburn, and a number of Chinamen hare been arreated. The police are confident from the evidence in their potasses 3ion that the crime can be sheeted home to either one or two of the Chinaman. The cord used for gagging was of a" most peculiar character, and no trace of a similar kind of cord could be found anywhere, but a Chinamen, who was arrested yesterday in a hut about a mile from Naseby, had a piece of the pecular cord in his possession. He had also a number of scratches and other marks on his person, some of them such as might have been inflicted by a candle stick; his boots also correspond with the prints in the neighbourhood of the garden feuce. Some other Chinamen hare scratches and bruises, and it is asserted that the teeth marks can be also
traced.
