HORRID MURDER.—The folhwing is an extract of a letter from Guernsey, dated November 4.—Dear Sir,—A respectable looking man, apparently about 60 years of age, who stated his name to be Thomas Fookes, and that his family resided at Truro, came here scme days since. for the purpose, as he said, of contracting for supplying this island and Jersey, with corn, beef, &c. He resided at Cole's Hotel, in the market-place; and, whilst there, conducted Maisel with gear propriety. Atter breakfast, yesterday, he left the inn to take a walk ne r Fort Ge , rge. In the evening, before dark, as two men were in a boat. on the part of the shore towards which he was supposed to have walked, they discovered the body of a man in the water, near the cliff. The water was not above two tcct deep over the body, which they imtiv-d ately took up, and conveyed to the t-,wn Hospital. It prove.i to he that of Mr. Fookes, and was examined and opened.— A severe wound appeared on the head, and several bruises on the body ; the surgeons stated, that otherwise the state of the body indi cated perfect health. There can be little doubt, that the deceased was murdere , robbed, and thrown over the cliff, near to which lie was found ; as he was known to have a pocket-book, a watch, and a pair of silver mounted spectacles in his possession, Lune of which, nor any money whatever, were found on the body.". We have made inquiry of Mr. Fookes's family, and unfortunately there is little doubt that he was the person ab-.)ve described. We have not learnt what amount of property he had with hill, as when his family last heard from him, he was at his brother's, near Weymouth. —(West Briton.) BIRTrIS.
