MURDER AY PLYMOUTH.

PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.
A deliberate murder, attended with circumstances
of peat ferocity, took place at Plymouth late ce Saturday
ni; the partite to the shocking affair being all Irish
mamas. The Cork Steamship Company's vessel, Prussian
Enka was lying in the Greet, Western Dock., and on
Saturday afternoon three of her seamen, John Hart, Cor-
beling Moyinit, and Daniel Harrington, had been on shore
drinkhig, returning to the vessel in the evening in a semi-
Intoxicated state- Shortly after they returned some words
and • wrangling took place between Harrington and Moyina,
subsequently • violent quarrel and a fight ensued, and they
fought for some time, Moyina proving himself by far the
beet man. This affair then seemed to have been closed,
but Hart, apparently not liking the turn things had taken,
said he could fight Moyina,) but whether any blows
did actually take place between Moyina and him,
at present appears to be unknown. Moyina then
sat down on a seat, and leaned spinet • bulkhead, the
whole affair taking place in the ship's forecastle While
be was io that position hart, without apparently any fur-
ther provocation, rushed at him and struck him three vio-
lent blown on the nose, and threw his body on him. While
Woyina was thus lying back struggling under Hart, in •
kali stuppfied state, Hart put his Wind in his own pocket,
drew forth a clasp knife, which he unclasped, drove it into
Moyina's body, and then, coolly wiping it on the back part
'of his own trousers, re dared it in his pocket. The knife
killing
took effect in Moyina'slling him instantly._ A boy
present gave an alarm an a quartermaster of the shipcoming down, ordered Hart to give him the knife, which
he did. The quartermaster then placed • beg under
the deceased's head, and left him there, believing him only
to be exhausted by the struggle, and not examining as
to what injury the knife had done. Hart and
the quartermaster returned on deck. The murder was
committed between eleven and twelve o'clock, but the fatal
nature of the affray was not discovered until about three
o'clock the following morning. The deceased, appear-
ing not to recover, was examined by some of is khip-
mates and his death discovered. In the interim
Had had got back the knife from the quartermaster,
sad it cannot now be found. On Sunday morning
Had was taken into custody by the Plymouth police on •
charge of murder, and Harrington apprehended, charged'
with sesanlting the deceased. The quartermaster arihtt
have also been detained as witnesses, but the vessel left
Plymouth on Sunday morning to convey troops from Bristol
to thick. The body of the deceased awaits a coronet's
inquest, which will come off no Monday. Hart is 23 yaws
of me, and has a wife and child at Cork. Harrington u Zi.
The deceased was also • young MM, and has also left a wife
