iri;lies, and the intesitnct had been wounded; it had a .I.Ting direction upwards. The wound was about z'oeeslourths of an inch in width. The whole of the inzestinal canal was in a state of inflamtnatioa. The eeceAsed suffered the most excruciating pain, and died rt the effects of inflammation produced by the wound. Witness was clearly of opinion that the wound had -been inflicted by some sharp instrument, and that it was t!'e cause of his death. Mr. flatchinson was called in to prove the examina tion of the deceased, which had been taken by the Rev. .1. A. Rhodes, and was to the following effect:—That the deceased went to Mr. Carlile's house between eleven and twelve o'clock on Tuesday night, to visit his daughter, as E e had done many times before. He got up to the window to speak to her. She burst into tears, and her nu cher asked her why she cried, hat he did hot hear ary answer ; Mr. Catlile stabbed him imme eiately, but the deceased did not see him or hear him speak. He hardly knew that he was wounded until he got a few yards from Mr. Carlile's house, and he thought he should never have been able to have got to his brother's house. In a subsequent part of his exami nation. he stated that he never said that he knew it was . Thomas Carlde vri.o had stabbed him, as he had neither seen him nor heard him speak. Had not lately had any quarrel with Mr. Carlile, nor had Mr. Car lile, at any time, threatened to du him any injury. Witness about a year snice bad a quarrel with Mr. Carlile; it was about Sophia, who told her father that he was paying attentions to her sister Rebecca. Mr. Carlile spoke to him out of the window. lie seemed vexed,, but did not threaten him. The CAnassa then read over the evidence, and the Jury were left to deliberate on the cue, and in about half an hour they re tuned a verdict of" Mauslaughter." Mr. Cathie will, of course, be committed to York Castle for trial. MURDERS AT WINTON, NEAR MANCHESTER. CORONER'S INQUEST. In the STAR ut Friday we gave an account of a horal ri!iie murder committed at Winton, in the township of, Barton-upon-Tient, Irwell, and parish of Eccles, and within a short distance irons Patr:cruft-bridge, on the Liverpool toad. A Coroner's Inquest was summoned, and assembled at three o'clock at the house where the murder was committed, and viewed the body and the premises. The first witness called was _ Joseph Blears--I am the landlord of this house. I have known Alexander M'Keand for about twenty months. During the first twelve months of our ac quaiittance he called at this house once every three • weeks, upon Fridays; he never was accustomed to sleep here. On Monday last I had been in Manchester. and 'en my :faun, about eight o'clock in the evening, I found Alexander M'Kealid seated in the bar. He was in com pany with another man whom I do not recollect to have seen before, but whom I should know again. He ap peared to be a Scotsman from his tongue. After having put into the kitchen some articles which I had brought from Manchester, I went into the bar, upon which Alexander said he was very glad to see nee at home, and invited we to sit down, which I did. He then asked me to have a glass of something, and I drank two glasses df 'whiskey and water. While drinking fl,e second glass, I thought it was stronger than it ought to have beeh, and stronger than what is usually mixed by my wife, and.' called for some more water. 'l'heorange club and a sick club meet at my house; while we sat drinking, some conversation took place about selling my house, and also about the clubs, but I don't recollect particularly what was'said. After I had drank the two glasses 1 fell asleep upon the sofa. I dont rc collect bring disturbed in my sleep. I was quite stupid, and the liquor I had taken deprived me of my seisms. The same quantity of liquor 'never produced similar effects upon me before. I was perfectly sober when I came !rime, having only had, while in Nlan diesont, the third part of a pint of ale. I was first awoke betwixt twelve and one o'clock by hearing shrieks and cries of murder. On seeing my v, ife bloody and finding that the two men had escaped, I set off in pursuit of them towards Warrington, with Mr. Thomas Milner; upon my return yesterday I found that Betty Bates had' been murdered. She was pregnant by a joiner in the: neighb , aorhood, and was to haveinen married to him. The banns were published at Eccles church on Sunday :act, as I have been informed. The yellow varnished stick now produced belongs to Alexander M'Keand, and he had it on Monday night. M:try Andrew, w de of Richard Andrew, shoemaker —llive next door to Mr. Blears. A few minutes be fore twelve o'clock on Monday night, 1 was alarmed by Mrs. Blears calling out " murder." My husband and I immediately got up; she theft called to us, "will you see me murdered; I have got a lancet stuck in my head; our house is foil of robbers, and 'they are mur dering us." We instantly came out, and found that Mrs. Blears /who is my aunt) had a knife sticking beneath her'eye. My husband tried to pull out the knife, and was not able. Nathan Miles and Andrew Milcock also tried to pull it out but could mot ; upon "hid' my tukband went for Mr. Garthside, the surgeon. On coming into the house, I found the yellow stick mentirined by be last witness, under the sofa in the bar. un going up stairs, 1 found Betty Bates lying on the ror in the club-room. She lay upon her back about 4 yard within the door, with one hand raised to her neAd, her head being towards the door, near to where Are clot of blood is. I found a great quantity of blood u 4 toe floor of the back bed-room, and there was a-dii ttnct stream of blood from that room across the large i'mas over the bar to the club-room, William Higgins—l am fourteen years'of age ; I have ke,l in Mr. I3lear's house about two years. Monday iiiot I saw two men in the bar. I went to bed about hi. e o'clock, leaving my master and these two men siring in the bar. I was awakened at some part•of the tVit by the noise of a man and woman coming into the :• um. The candle was standing in the wiy.dow. I saw I e man who bought the canal y•bird get hold of the 1 'rout, by putting his left arm round her neck; he i i:iii her head back, and was Join; some lung with his ! a lit hand. She mid, " Be quiet," and lie then flung lier upon the fi ior, and did something more, and she: cried out " Murder." They continued fighting, and she git bold of him by the legs, and got -up upon her feet, .ind said to him, •' 111'maik thee, man r He said no thing. 1-le then aung her a second time on the floor ti t MI her back, and did something more at her, but I could not see what it was. She cried out no morel 1 did I , 't stir. I saw Betty bloody about the breast, and on keing that 1 lay quiet. The man then came to me, svid I jumped up upon my siting part, but be plated Li. hand upon my mouth, and pressed me dawn upon the bed. While he was holdiogliis hand upon my face the woman got up, and was staggering out of the rcom.- 1 be man instantly left me, and over:oek her, and caught her at the door cheek. t did not see what more was done. I saw them struggling at the doot. While they' were struggling I rushed past them, and jumped over the banister of the stair. As I passed them the man made a grasp at my right shoulder, and left several bl: ody marks upon my shirt. He followed me down stairs, and through the lobby anti kitchen, and out of the back door.. I tan round the house to the front, and then towards Richard Andrew's house, and into the field opp , site, and hid myself in the ditch at the far side of the field. I remained in the ditch till f saw my mistress come to Andrew's house. •- Martha Blears, wife of .I.iseph Blears.—Between-Sve and six o'clock on Monday night, two men called at my house ; one of them I have known for about a year, he is a Scotsman ; the other I never saw before to my knowledge. The one whom I did not know came first, about halfLpast five o'clock; he asked me for a glass of beer, which I brought to him. He then sat down, with the beer before him, but did not touch for half an hour, when the other man, whom I had known before, came in and sat down, and called for a glass of beer and some bread and cheese, which I took to him; upon which the first who came in said, " It you'll bring me i plate 11l take some bread and cheese, as that Gentleman is taking some:" I did so, and he drank up his ale, and asked for another glass. The other asked for a glass of whiskey, and 1 took him a glass. They were sitting in the bat toge ther, and I kept going in and out, but they appeared not to be in conversation ; but when I ia as in the kitchen, I saw them from there, sitting on the squab (sofa) wh:s pering to each other. The one who came in last, after he bad done eating, asked me for my husband,and I told him that he was gone to Manchester. Ile asked how long he would be. I said I did not know, and asked if he wanted him for any thing particular, or whether I could not do. He replied, " I want to give him a treat in whis key." He then asked me for a glass of wine, which he drank, and sat down until my husband arrived, which was about eight o'clock. The one who had before asked me for my husband said to me, " Your husband is come; tell him I want to speak to liim." I did so ; and when he came into the bar the man asked him what he would take a glass of. My husband replied, " Nothing, at present. • The man pressed him to take a glass of whiskey, and lie did so, and then went to the kitchen to have had his tea, but the same man called him back, and said he must take off another glass; and he said I must fill a glass of whiskey for each of them two. The other man during this time was drinking I cyder and wine by himself; but they afterwards had each a glass of cyder. My husband, after he had drank the second glass of whiskey, laid himself on the squab and fell asleep; upon which the man whom I knew before took up the glass I had poured out for him and poured it down his throat. My husband awoke and I was very angry, and asked me to fetch him some water, and I did so. Ile drank the water and fell asleep again., The min sat for about half an hour without any liquor, my husband being asleep on the squab. I did not like ' their manner and looked at them from the kitchen several times, and saw them whispering. 1 then went and sat in the bar, and the one I did not know said to me, " It is too late, ma'am, to go to Manchester to night; you are like to let us have a bed, fur I never like to go out late front a public-house, for I have a deal of money about me." I said, " Well, if you'll put up with such as we have, you're welcome." -He then asked me if my husband went to bed when he had go drink? I replied, " Sometimes he does, and sometimes he does not." He then said, " Do you sit up with him when he does not go?" I replied, " Sometimes I do, and sometimes not ; but I often do sit up." He then said, "Is our bed ready?" I said, "Yes; any time," and called to Betty to bring a candle, and desired her to shew them to the room door and point out which of the beds was intended for them. She brought the candle and she and the two men went out of the bar together and up stairs, and after they had gone up two minutes I heard a scream up stairs; I then laid hold of the candle, which was upon the table, and was going up stairs, but when I got to the door of the bar, the man I had not known before met me and laid hold of me, and struck at my throat with a knife, whin woundeslme. I attempted to scream out, but he seized me by the neck and throat and prevented me; he then knocked use down and stabbed me several times, and a: last struck the knife down under my left eye, and then attempted to pull it out, but could not. He pulled several times, when, at length,'the handle of the knife came off, and I fell on the floor. He then went to the back door and whis tled, upon which I got up and ran to the front door and opened it, and went to Richard Andrew, calling out " murder, murder." I kicked at Andrew's door; the neighbours then came round, and, several of them tried to get the knife-blade out, but could not. I then I heard William Higgins, the. boy who lived in our I house, calling out, saying, " Do come, they have killed Betty ;" he then came towards me in his shirt. I was afterwards taken into the house, and met my husband at the bar-door, who shrieked, and asked who had done that. I felt sick, and said, " Oh Loan." /le then went out in search of the men'. The knife with which I was cut was pulled iv at under the man's .coati it is a whittle knife, with a sharp point. None of our knives are of that sort. Thomas Partington—l was at the Jolly Carter on Monday night from half-pasteight till ten o'clock; saw two men in the bar, whom I took to be Scotsmen from their accent. Jose sh Blears was there when h went into the Isar ; was called out, and while out the larger of the two men emptied his glass into that of Wears, and then filled something, which he supposed to be water, from a jug on the table, into his own glass. Jesse Jones, a weaver in Eccles, and Robert Nihon, weaver, corroborated the testimony of the last Witness, and described the dress and appearance of the smallest of the two men; hewore a black stock. Witness did net notice the dress of tile other man. Beth of them appeared to be sober. William Br ottani, one of the constables of Barton.—l found the black leather stack now produced upon the 113 or of the back bed room, betwixt twelve and one o'clock on the night of the murder, stained with blood, quite fresh. I found the deceased in the club room, quite dead. The knife blade o hich I now produce:l found in the cheek of Martha Blears. I found the handle, which I likewise now produce, and which exactly fits the blade, on the floor of the tap room near the door ; and I found the woman's cap and black under cap near the same place. They were both bloody. The floor of the passage and the ilJor and door of the tap room were likewise very bloody. The silk pocket handkerchief which I now produce I got from Jr.A Edward Foulkes. Simon Williamson, set vant to Mr. Richard Ilanco.A. —I found the handkerchief produced inside the hedge of my master's field on Tuesday morning about eleven o'clock. I deliveied it to Mr. Edward Foulkes. I saw the footreps of men in the field as if they had come from the Jolly Carter and were going towards %Vora ley. They appeared to have gone through the hedge. The hAmikerttlief is unhemmed. Mr. Edward #oulkes-4;eceived the handkerchief in question from the last witness, and delivered it to Mr. Brittain. William Hahcock, of Manchester, surgeon--I have lodged since the 13th of December in the house of Al- x:loer NliCeand. I know his brother Michael ;he was the owner of the furniture, ttc. in the house unit January, last, when he transferred the property to Alexander, he himself having failed. Michael has been there occas 7 onally since that time, and all his books and papers still rem.tin there. On I . l.inday last, the two brothers dined at Alexander's house, about four o'clock. After dinner, they asked me to go ss itli them to Sal ford. I went with them as far as William Wood's liquo;_vaults, near the New Bailey ; Michael requested me to go in, and ask Mrs. Sharpies, who keeps the vaults, for half a crown which was due to him, and they desired me to meet them at Boardman's public house, wlti.h is opposite. I went accordingly to Mrs. Sharpies, but did not get the money. I then went and joined them at Boardman's, ani st.ipped dive with them for about ten minutes, and had a glass of porter. We all three c one out toge her, and I left them at the door. They went towards Pendleton, on the Eccles road. I then went home. '1 asked them if they would be at home that night ? they said they did not know. They had no pack with t' em. Alexander had on a blue coat, black waistcoat, black trowsers, and a collar or stock similar to the one produce.]. He like wise had the yellow stick which has been produced; at least, I believe it to be the same. He has had it ever since 1. came to live with him Alexander's hands are in a-scrofulous state. Michael had en a blue coat, and, I think, a brown striped waistcoat, black trowsers, and Wellington boots, with a black silk handkerchief round his neck. The unhemmed handkerchief produced be longs to me't btu Michael had it upon Friday or Satur day last ; I cannot say how he came by ir, butt he is in the practice of sleeping in the same room, and from our habits of intimacy, it did not occur to me to question him for having taken it. I this morning observed that the chimney-piece in the . bed room appears as if a knife had been sharp-ned upon it. No such marks were there upon Sunday. Alexander went up stairs just before going nut, but I do not know for what purpose. John Thompson, weaver, stated that he saw a Scottish hawke r , with whom he hag had dealings for four years, and whom he be lieved to be one of the men charged with being the perpetrators of the murder, but whose name he does not know, pass near Barton Bridge, about slit o'clock upon Monday last, and proceed in the direction of the Jolly Carter. Mr. John William Garthside, surge :n, 13arton. I was called in en Monday night from half-past twelve to one o'clock. I found Martha Wears seated on the door. She was covered with blond, and the knife was stuck in her face, just under the left eye, to the depth of four inches. It passed through the. bone, and ex tended into the back part of the mouth. I made several attempts to extract it, but could not, on account of the handle being off. I then wrapped a check apron round it, but still was not able to extract it. I after wards held the woman's head, *and my servant drew out the knife. She had a wound upon her forehead, and one upon her throw, and the thumb and wrist upon the left hand were likewise cut. I then proceeded up stairs to look after the deceased. I found her lying in the club-room - quite dead, the vessels of the throat being completelaocut through. I lifted her arm from off her neck. The carotid artery on the right side is completely divided, and appears to have been cut with some sharp cutting instrument. Death would speedily ensue from the loss of blood. On the left side of the face there are five or six wounds which would not be sufficient to cause death. The mortal wound begins on the right side, behind the ear, and extends to the length of about five inches, proceeding across the windpipe, and being about an inch and a half in depth. The fingers of the left hand are - also much cut, part of the fourth finger being nearly severed from the hand. _ _ Sarah Ste — wart, the . Wife of James Stewart—l keep a cutlery and hardware shop in Smithy door. I have known Michael M'Keand for several years. On Saturday last I sold part of my stock by auction, and Michael assisted to book the articles sold. He sat near a drawer in which a number of knives, similar to that extracted from Martha Blears' cheek, were deposited ; the drawer was open, and the knives were ready for being sold ; they are called bread knives ; it was in his power to have taken one or more without my knowledge, if hc had chosen; the knife last mentioned appears to be new. This being the whole of the evidence adduced, the Comma shortly addressed the Jury, observing, that in his opinion the case was a very clear one,and :hat it was not necessary for them,as Jurors, to have full and positive proof of the guilt of the parties; but that if they considered the evidence they bad heard sufficient to satisfy their nainds that the parties should be put upon their trial, they would express it by their verdict. After consulting for about five minutes, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Alexander %I'Keand, and the like verdict against Michael M' Keand, for aiding, as • • g, comforting, and maintaing the said Alexander, to do and commit the said murder."—The Coroner lmnaediately Issued his warrant for their apprehension. To the above account, which we quote from the Manchester Cekrier, we subjoin the following particu• lars from the same Journal : Alexander and Michael M'Keand, the persons charged with the murder, are natives of Dumfries-shire, and have for some time back followed the vocation of travelling hawkers. They are both re markably powerful and square-built men; and Michael, in parti cular, is possessed of great strength. They were men of sober habits; and so far as they arp known in tl:e neighbourhood, they have borne that character for honebty and industry for which those of their countrymen who follow the same profession throughout Lancashire are so remarkably distinguished. Alexander lived about fifteen months ago at a place called Strand-on-the-Greeu, near Lon don, where be traded as a dr a p er an d tea dealer; hut since that period he has acted as a travelling hawker with the sante description of goods throughout this part of Lancashire. lie is about five feet seven ladies in height, with dark eyes and whiskers, and is about 28 years of age. Michael is about 25 years of age, and is likewise of a dark complexion, and has dark eyes. For the last five or six year shekas traded as a hawker in this neighbourlsolid, and fir some time resided in Foundry-lane, Shudehill, and latterly in King-street, Salford. That tile intention of the murderers was to have cut off every member of the tinnily there cannot be the shadow of a doubt; but the motives by which they were actuated, and the objects they' might have in view, cannot be so distinctly ascertained. We have little doubt, however, that their object was plunder, for the attain ment of which they did not scruple to attempt the murder of the whole family, and but for the almost mil aculuus escape ul the boy Higgins, the fate of all the others would inevitably have been sealed. The two M'Keands are understood to have been in embarrassed circumstances, and Michael failed in the month of January last.— We understand, too, that since that period they have nut succeeded well in their business as hawkers. The landlord, Blears, on the other hand, is said to have been in the habit of boasting of kis possessions in the presence of numbers of his customers, while they have been drinking in his house, although he strenuously denied this circuntuance when questioned by the coroner respecting it ft may further be mentioned that a newly established Orange Club held a meeting at the Jolly Carter on the Friday preceding the corn ' show of the murder; and on such an occasian the landlord might naturally be supposed to have received a consideralde suns fr m big gurus. It is likewise perhaps worthy of notice, that Alex. AMeand was indebted to Mr. Clewortls, manufacturer, at slinky Creeds, to the extent of XI I odd; that he for some time denied the debt, but, was at last induced to acknowledge it its the presence of Blears. The untortunate woman, Bates, appears to have received her mortal wound in the bed-room in winch the hay lay. Upon her entering the room, and when the had put down the candle, the mtird4rer put his left hand round the neck of kis victim and held hack her bead, as if fur the purpose of kissing her; while, with his right hand, he drew the deadly weapon front its place of e:niceal- Meat. She seems to hate, at first, misunderstood his real intentions, and meretysiesiresi him to he quiet, strutgling, at the same time;to loosen hetssiffront his grasp. FROM THE MACCLESPIELD COURIER. We are informed that, one of the men, who, as we have before stated, were well know - it in this town and the neighbouring country as hawkers or pedlars, was in very straitened circumstances; and that a respectable individual here, Hid become surety for him in som e pecuniary transaction, to the amount of upwards of 5001. The other, it is said, had for some time paid his addresses to a very in teresting and amiable female of Macclesfield. NAVAL IN FELLIGENCE.
