THE MURDER AND SUICIDE NEAR BOLTON.

The Manchester Guardian gives some additional ,
particulars respecting this distressing affair. The decessid
man, Jolly, who, after cutting the throat of one of his
glade's, and dangerously wounding the other, terminated
his own ':esteem, has, it appears, been for years a constant ,
tippler, spiading half his time, or more, drinking at
bonus. Since last Monday week he had been on the
spree," drinking first at one public, hones and then at
another; and the only interpretation which all the
circum-
stances of the case seem to admit of is that Jolly had rashly
determined to end his own earthly misery without leaving
his chhdrea, of both of whom he was ;iessionately food, to
ben burden to others. His wife died in child birth some
four or Ave months ago. His relatives had talked
with him, sad endeavoured to lead him to reform kis
isondint, and it mesas that a conversation a brother had with
him about a mouth ago produced a slight effect upon him,
for over the mantelpiece in his workroom then was a anti-
eats of his having signed the temperance pledge &adjoined
the " Bolton Temperance Progression Society " on the 7th
Of July, his age being therein stated to be 31. His appetite
!or drink, however, appean to have heel too strong far
him; and the anticipaaions of hts neighbours that in his
drunk's' finny he would one day do "something dreadful"
Lye been more than realised by the circumstances attend-
lag Ids shocking end. Oa examining Jolly, Mr. Cov-
eters*, the soybean, toned his throat cut down to the
upon the fore part of which he could lay his
m, a. Great indeed must have been the detenniaatien
required by a man to inflict such a wound tapes himself.
The throat of the little girl was cut in a similar manger,
Sad her death must have been almost instantaneosa. Owing
to the critical position of the bey, who up to Thursday noon
had survived, very little information had been obtained from
MEL He had, however, stated that,se his father was taking
kiln and his sister up stain, she asked if they were going to
bed then. The father replied, "I am taking you to your
everlasting bed we will all be buried together. The little
girl unneeded, "What! with mammy?' aad whether any-
thing further was said is not known. However, when they
got isto the room, Jolly took the girl and held her so that
the boy could net see her ; and, slt.rwards, when her father
laid her on the bed, and thus displayed the fatal wound on
Mr seek, the boy asked, " What have you dons that for 1"
is reply to which the father again said something about
*hair being buried together. From this it is supposed that,
whilst the boy was between the room door and one aide of
the bed, his father took the little girl to the other ado of
the bed, and, leasing moon it, cut her throat, for these was
blood mt the wall at that side of the bed, and also apes the
portion of the ciumerpane which overhung the bed on that
aide. Then hi had seised the little boy sad attempted to
take his life in a similar manner ; but the two wounds OS
the left side of his neck and the cats upon hie Amgen in-
dicate that he had Aired all the nsinance in his power to
the murderous attack of his father. In all probability, the ,
severe wound was inflicted whilst the little fellow was ea the
bed, just at the time a neighbour sabered the house to
marsh for him and the little girl to go to action, and the
mobs she board would be caused, she thinks, by the boy
fallutg off the bed to the plume where he was afterwards
m , from wheats be could see what was subsequently
done by his father, which he doubtless did, as the poor little
fellow means fully cosettiews of the feet that his father is no
more.
