Thanks very much FrankieFoo for taking the trouble to reply.  Much appreciated.
I have since found a later report from a newspaper in Salisbury saying the case had been dropped.
The history of these events since the original murder still remain elusive and what is actually known as fact distinctly odd. The perpetrator(s) of the crime evidently remained at large and as far as is known  never brought to justice. 
Many thanks again.
Nick.

Hello,
Just found out about this case, Sarah having a family connection.
In 1861 an Australian newspaper reported the confession of Joseph Seer to this murder.  Seer had known Sarah since childhood.  After the deed, Seer joined the Army (4th Kings Own Regt) but after he was invalided out in 1861 he confessed to the murder and was remanded. Apparently in 1851 he attempted to confess to the crime but for some reason this was either not believed or not reported. So far I have not found any sequel to the story. 
Nick.
