The TVeishrnan records the fillowing particulate of a
tragedy which has aimed the utmost sensation in the neigh-
bourhood where the deed was perpetrated. The event referred
to is the murder of a servant girl unwed Jane Vittle, by her
master, Wm. Morgans, self-styled" Doctor Morgan," ens is
a farmer attest 60 years of age, re sidle' at Westfield, in the
Panel of Reeemarket, ab.iut 6 miles from lisveifordwrst,
and in white, &envies the demised had been for many years.
The murderer ha. n been considered of tolled mind,
and some years lien he was confined at the instance of
his wife, in the iliverfordwest Lunatic Ai) hien, from
pergola apprehension of his violence. He remain, din
confinement for about six mouths, but since his release''
he has conducted himself in a rational , has
managed the affairs of his farm, and regularly attended
the market with his corn His wife, however, died abet
three weeks ago, when his lease expired, and, bring consi-
derably in arrears for rent, his landlord, we ucderstand,
die reins 1 for the anteunt, and his stock, crop, and other
effects on the form were advertised for ask. It is supposed
that these adverse circumstances, operating on his already
weak intellect, teased a complete mental derangement ;
added to which, we believe, the murderer bad freely In-
dulfrd in intoxicating driLks the evesing before he cow
volute' the sad crime we have mentioned, which Vok plasm
on the moniing of the 29th ult. The murderer wee imme-
diately arrested and taken to Havertordenst. H. wan HP
mended by J. L Morgan, E q., M.D.. for further 'semi-
nudes to Saturday last, when be wig again brought up, aid
finally eommi,Led fur trial fur wil ul murder to the next
anis-e for the county of Pembroke.
The evidence •Oducied before the magistrates was as
follows :
Henry Vittle, a lad, depleed—l live at Westfield, in tits
perish of Roaems,ket. t know Wiltiam Morgans, now pre-
sent. On Weinesday last I slept at his house. Next
morning he said, " Henry. pat some water on the fire to
b IL" I did so. He then WO to Jane Voile, "Put some
Imp, and Finger into the water." fens did an, and emptied
it into a crop for him to drink. He took a mouthful, and
said there was poison in Jane Vittle said, " Why did
you think se ? She then acid to me, "Go down and •ake
some Ashes out of the lower room firri.clace." As I was
coming up therefrom I had the little trowel in the haek...t,
ante the prisoner cauglit hold of the trowel, which ate k in
some rods of the basket. I let go the basket, and he went
into the hsyduerd, and battered a eait there, and broke it in.
Jane Vinte went out to him, and said, " Leave the cask alone,
and go in with yon." He then lifted no the trowel, and
knocked her somewhere about her head Ste put her heeds
on her head sad cried " Murder." I only saw him strike
her one*, wesen the trowel broke in wining her. He toils
attempted to strilt. me. I ran, and he aimed a blow at me
which did not take effect Jane Vittle did not tell when I
saw the blow meek. He ran alter me over a little burgage
field, and on my getting over the he"ge, he made auutber
blow at me, but did Lot succeed in striking me. He folio., ed
me further. I rem to my home, which was a field :nether
end told Josiah Oriellehs that Mr. Merging was murdming
Jane Vitt's; 'clerk G.-Milts and Jonathan, my brother, rte.,
up to his house. I went up elan, and my brAtter Thomas.
Judah was a servant with Moreau.. Josiah ran into the
heyguerd, and then came to me, rod riga red me to go to
W-et sty for some of the men. Oa m; going into the Lay-
guard I saw Jane Vittle lying on the ground ; she was quite
deed ; her need was meshed ati to pieces and covered wit
blood.
Honey Llewellin deposed—l live at Rosehill, in the pariah
of H. *mak t. On fhoisday morning ley ab art heir-
past eight o'clock, I was in my field, about 300 or 400 yards
from Dlorganie house, I heard the screams of a female and
went towards the hoes-. On nay going into the yard, I met
a boy who informed me that William Meng us had killed
Jane Vital. 1 'Aced whoa the body was, he said in the
haystuerd. I west there and saw the body el the giillying
on the ground on the face. 'there was a flog lying there
also. (It subs, queered,' appeared that the pris.aser had seen
cod this aaimes life at the time time.) I toted the handle
of a trowel beeide the body. Afterwards, on searcbi. g, I
Mond the iron part; there was heir on it. I then ran slier
Mo and found him in custody. I never considered
hint a man of sound intellect. He said to me, I have killed
the hedger. I have Suited here number of years. He 're-
:erred to Jane Vittle.
Mr. It. H. Byers deposed—l am a surgeon at Milford. On
Thunder morning list I was sent for, shunt nine o'clock, to
see Jane Vittle 'the we-stager did not say eh • war dead.
I found her dead, but still warm, and t.looll was flowing
from her breast. The whole of the right side of the h,en
was broken in as if by means of b..ci es from sOCII, heavy ilea-
etrument. There were cum or eounels on both arms. Oa
tne right arm Were wan a comp nand fracture, a few inches
above the wrist. There was a post minim txuninttion,

llie'el. The heal wet literally eme.hed, and the brains,
and al.o a potion of the Asa, were on the ground.
The magistrates said that as the prisoner sae evidently in
a stet.. of lie oily, they should d cline putting to him the
usual questions. He was then rem .vet by U.* constables.

SHIPWRECKS AND Loss Of LlTE.—Advicee have

TOE NiI:ROES IN HANLEY [ann.—Since the
en's examitiatk-n on Friday last many particulate
haw transpired. having a tendency to fix a vast amount of
guilt upon the prisoner, apart from the awful charge now
pendit g meeinst her. In 1842 the prisoner was tried for the
artful muruer of an illegitimate child, and up m that MA-
sion she was convicted of co• cealment of birth, and ten
kneed to six months' impriaonmet t. She was then living
In a family at Laytm. in &sex, as cook. In this case the
Mild was alto pecked op in a b a, which was addressed to
the porter of the Kouteford Union, and from inquiries
made by the police the f. awarding thereof was traced
to the prisoner. In 1844 a box, having in it ft dead intact,
newly b..rti, was sent to Mr. Thomas Burton, another insen-
bet of the family. An inquest was held upon the body, but
in the tours- of the investigation gone into nothing
tten-
attired wok& could fix guilt upon any party. Taking all
these circumstances into consitteratit.n, very little doubt can
exist as to the peimner having murdered no fewer than three
o Maven. Yesterday Mr. Anderson, the governor of Ilford
gaol, had att interview with Mr. Long, the magistrate, to
whom he made known some particulars connected with a
farmer . xemioation of the prisoner. It is stated that during
the short time she we. in the family of Mr. Ruth she ap•
peered to be remarkably serious and reserved, sad that
wheat', r orortunity offered s'• employed her tame in
reading the Bible, the Prayer-book, and other works of •
religious and moral tendency.
A BOY LOST IN A WOOD.—OD Thursday, the
29.1, tilt , the adi of Jobs Clondsnale, an apprentice with
W. Wharton, b ebteinturner, Finethweite, was sent an
errand to Force Forge, and not returning at the expected
time, and the night having been very stormy, with snow on
the ground, fears braan to be entertained for his safety, and
sc en- persons west in search of the missing led, but returned
wit mat any tidings. Early next morning, the boy rot
having returned, a regular it quiry tack place, and it was as
certain. d that the boy had done tie errand at Force Forge,
land wee lest seen in Rusland, about half past 6 o'clock ice
the evening, gaing with the evident intenoon of messing the
hells between the last-mentioned place and Finsthw. i.e. A
diligent search then commenced on the common end in the
woods adjacent to the road he aught to have taken, and the
wandering of the por boy could be traced in the weednand an
the moot by the balls of snow he had dashed from his clogs.
Friday, Saturday, Ind Sunday were all spent in eain search
ings, tor no body could be bound, ticitigb it wits evident that
he must have perished. Oa Mammy the poor boy wees
found in a wood not far from the lace by which he left Flus-
tered. It was clear from the position in which he wee lying
that he had fallen down and dud without • struggle, having,
no doubt, wandered as long as suing. k was in him. An
inquest was held on the bony at Fiosthwaite, on Tuesday,
and a verdict returned in accordance with the above C.c.s
Seance as it may appear, the unfortunate circumstance is
sottricuted to a ghost story." la the higkersy between
Bualand and Foistheraite there is • place believed by the
thencoutry folks to be " haunted," and sOoner than go that way
poor lad had ventured over the ale in which he perished.
