HORRID MURDER WITH A PICKAXE

information has been received of a most dreadful
murder, committed at the Sampson Colliery, Ol►lbury,
near Birmingham. It seems that there existed some ill
feeling between two of the hands employed at the colliery,
named Richard Dunn and Joseph Alltnark, and on
Saturday morning, whilst Dunn was at work in the
smithy sharpening the tools, he was suddenly attacked
by Allmark with a pickaxe. He inflicted the most
frightful injuries on his victim, whom he left weltering
in his blood, and making off, got clear away. The
unfortunate man Dunn expired shortly afterwards. An
inquest has been held at Oldbury, before Ralph Docker,
Esq., the coroner, on the body of Richard Dunn, and a
verdict of wilful murder returned against Richard
Allniark, and a warrant has been issued for his appre-
hension. The murderer is only eighteen years of age ;
he is a native of Teviotdale, and it is supposed will try
to enter the army. The above atrocious act arose from a
trifling dispute respecting some mining tools.
