ALLEGED NUMB IN BOMAN!).

Oa Thursday afternoon information was given at
the County Police-office, Hamilton, that en old woman of
the name of Margaret Stewart or O'Neil, who resided with
her husband In • out house upon the farm of Ardochrigg, in
the perish of East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, had died suddenly
the previous morning, under suspicious circumstances, and
that she tem to be interred the same day la the churchyard of
East Kilbride. Mr. Gibb, inspector of police, was despatched
to the place, and obtained sufficient information to justify the
apprehension of the husband, John O'Neil, • man aged 72
years, • labourer to trade, who wrought for some
time on the farm of Ardoctuigg. By the time the officers
arrived the interment had taken placo, but they found O'Neil
in his own house. The man who drove the cart which con-
veyed the body to the churchyard had been the only person
present, along with the husband, at the interment. O'Neil
and the doomed had been at the village of East Kilbride on
Monday lest, where they had been drinking together, and re-
turned home the same afternoon. Several people passed them
on the way, and had observed the old women fall on the road,
and one of them, a carter, saw the husband drawing her to
the roadside la order to allow the cart to pan.
They had reached home the same evening, and the old
woman died on the Wednesday morning following. We be-
lieve that O'Neil had, on the Tuesday, mentioned to Mr.
Stone, the fanner at Ardochrigg, that hie wife was dying;
and some of the household had visited the old woman during
that dsy, and found her insensible. Immediately after the
death the firmer and some of his female servants had dressed
the corpse, and when so engaged found several marks and
bruises on different parts of the body, and the heir clotted
with blood, which aroused their suspicions. O'Neil went
himself after the death, and reported the same to the pariah
registrar, Mr. Dalelish, and gave in the cause et death as
'• rheumatism,' bat did tot furnish the usual certificate,
which requires to be granted by a medical practitioner, cer-
tifying the nature of the disease which the demeaed latkured
under at the time of death. The prisoner was brought to
Hamilton on the Thursday night. The disinterment of the
body took place on Feeley afternoon, when Drs. Nat-
smith and Lmdon, of Hamilton, made a post-mortem ma.
mication of the body. The prisoner wee examined before
the sheriff on Friday morning on the charge of murder, and
afterwards sent to gaol.—Glasgow Herald.
