TER MURDER NEAR LEEDS.

It appears that the unfortunate man, Bromhton,
who met him death by Masco near Leeds, as repmted in our
edam= on Monday, was before his death enabled to give some
few particulars relative to the attack made uponblai. In repiy
to • gametic. pat to him as to who the whet were he said,
"Two men; one went up the hill slowly before me, till he
pot to the top. Then another man met us from another rued
(penal, by trespassing across the fields); sad then one of
them struck me twice over the head. I know nothing more,"
The only description be could give of the men was., that one
was a young man, and the other older. The it... Mr.
Davis, who was in the neighbourhood at the time Broughton
returned home, spent some time with the unfortunate man in
administering to him spiritual consolation. He gave to the
reverend gentleman an account of the fatal treneaction (tome-
what similar to that detailed above. He said "There were
two men. One went by me • the other struck me over the
head twice. They were do Led somewhat like working man.
Oas had a jacket on, I thirds." Mr. Hey arrived at Round-
hay between eight and nine o'cliceik an Saturday evening, end
discovered that Broughton, who was then insensible, was
enfiering from four or eye outs on the head, one of which bad
fractured the atitli. He never rallied, and died at twenty-
five Minutes to too on Sunday afternoon.
' The tlaos where the murderous assault was committed
wee a perfect pool of blood, and ca the hedge and stile were
portions of skin and bear, which showed the severe character
of the attack. The heavy rain on Sunday washed away all

The most active exertions have been made by Mr. Eng-
lish, the chief constable of the borough, and by the West
Riding constabulary, to discover some clam which may lead
to the detection of the perpetrators of this foal crime, but at
present alight hopes are entertained at any material evidence
being obtained to being the efface home to the guilty par-
ties. A man who in some particulars corresponded with tie
very imperfect description given by the unfortunate deceased
of his assailants, was seen lying on the gram near the MOS
of the murder jest about the time Broughton must have been
attacked; and Mrs. Ann Littlewood, housekeeper toMr.
Roebuck, Wesleyan minister, York-road. -in Passing_ along
the footpath, alas observed this man in Puraling-field, clots
to the plea of attack, about the mate time. She was walk-
ing towards Loeb, and on reaching Mr. D. Luron's park
she met the boys who afterwards were the fleet to observe

bad been following Mrs. Littlewood, and that he must have
been attacked by some one when she was at no great Ms-

Theilauchester Guardian of this day says ,—" The
Leeds police have received such information as enables
them to tarnish the following description of one of the
men ouppotied to be implicated in the murder of Mr.
Broughton :—A young man, about five feet tour inches
high, smut built, broad set, broad chubby features, dark
hair cut short behind, dressed In • dark cloth or velvet

and creating clogs. The w.itch was an old-fashioned German

that there at prevent appears very little hope of detecting the
murdeeers, the deecription furnished by the deceased Wag at
the vaguest possible character, and no other person' appear-
ing to have met them on the road."
