MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday afternoon, au occurrence which crcat.4.4
the most intense excitement took piece in Derby.oiect, •
small thoroughfare leading from the west side ol Whitt-
chapel. It appears that for come years put Mr. 441E011
Burns has corned on blititl4lll in Derby-street, as a furniture
broker, and latterly he took • shop on the opposite side,
employing his brother-in-law, Neal O'Donnell, to manage
the concern on his behalf. Matters went oo smoothly
between the parties until the last two or three months,
when disputes seem to have originated as to the owner-
ship of the buthiess conducted try O'Donnell. The re-
sult was that Burns decided upon removing the goods
from the premises occupied by his brother-in-law.
With this object he employed several
who were under the direction of Mr. Harrison; and ye4er-
day afternoon, about throe o'clock, they went out to the
shop occupied by O'Donnell to discharge their duty. After
entering the premises, O'Donnell became enraged, and,
so far u we can learn, uttered threats to the effect
that he would be avenged against the parties
whom he supposed were doing him • grievous
wrong. Boma disturbarme being apprehended, severs/
police officers were milled, and they came to the spot under
the direction of Inspector Teasdale. In the meantime
O'Donnell had left the shop, but in a short time returned,
still asserting his right of poseession. Almost immediately
on his return he exclaimed, " These are my goods. lem
the owner of the premises," and producing a
large carving knife, rushed at one of the bialiga,
James Morris, and stabbed him in the left side of
the abdomen. O'Donnell had previously gone into the shop
pf Mr. Brigleafield, provision dealer, Whitechapel, where he
Uok away the knife, and ran off with it. The =for-
Waste victim of the outrage, Morris, who exclaimed,
"I am stabbed," was immediately placed in a cob,
and, wader the direction of peli^n :officer 7:i7, coo.
spayed to the Royal Inermary. He was promptly at-
tended by Mr. Harrison, the house-surgeon, but the injury
was of so serious a character u to be beyond the reach of
surgical skill. The unfortunate man died about ten minutes
after admission to the institution, the immediate cause of
death being internal haunorrhage. O'Donnell was taken
into custody on the spot, with the knife is
his possession. The occurrence, as might be expected,
caused a large crowd of persons to congregate our the sous
of the murder, and many were there until a late hour in the
e►ening. The matter will undergo investigation before the
borough coroner, probably to-day. We understand that the
deceased was an unmarried men.—Liverpool Afercurg.
