WILFUL MURDER AND ATTESIPrED SUICIDE

AT BOLTON.

On Thursday night, about eight 'o'clock, a man named
Aaren Taylor, a besom maker; residing is a cellar in Velvet
Wa'ks, Great Bolton, committed a most dreadful murder
on his wife in the pubic s reds. For several days past the
delinquent'has been drinking, leaving his wife and three
small children waning food, and at the time st.ted she
went to the vaults of Mr. Bl: k,, iu Deausgate, and there
found him drinking. On asking him for money to purchase
foorl,-vords'ensued, and Le left the vaults, and immediately,
in a fit of passion, he pulled o it a knife, usel by hini for
cutting ling" and cut her throat, the knife entering her
month, and inflicting a. wound from her mouth to the back
of the ear,
,severing the jcplar vein. Re then ran away,
but the woman had *s• ffloi-nt srength t 0 Cry cut "Teat's
the man; stop him !' Tha gash inflicted was a most
fearful one, and it is most singular how she could give
utterance to anything. her hea being almost severed from
her body. She was immediately removed tri the infirmary,
but life was eticet b..fure she arrived. The man attempted
to eseipe, but did not get many yards before he was
app:ehxided. He, however, a-tempted to destroy himself
with the same wevon, inflicting a serious wound in his
own throat, but mot 8, ill dent to destroy life. He was also
cemoved to the infirmary,' where .be now lies in a very
precariOns state. The poor woman had her infant chill,
about six in' inths 'ol i, in her arms at the time Of the
dreadful catastr3phr. Dr. Levy and Mr. Segar, the
house surgeon at the infirmary, attended the manar d sewed
up the wound, and he is nary in charge of the police.

• TIRE CATTLE NitTRILAIN —The fol:ow•ing letter appears
h a Dublin paper :

" Envy frillOws merit, as the shadom does the substance."
A qnestille is now being asked through the length and
breadth cf the land, " Has nA the dreadful cattle murrain
appeared in Ireland ?" All Irelind arswers -‘No "to the
foul scandal ; echo says "No" to the base, envious insinu-
ation ; all the respec'able dealers of Ireland and Scotland
say "No." Query—And why has the report gone the
rounds of the press ? A subtle mystery lies here. Surely
it could not be to crash the law-el leaf won in honor,
becinse it grans in Ireland. Surely it could not be that,
cot es'he etofors, Irish cattle were sold to English dealers
and re-sold as home-bred. The very name of an Irish-
bred beast would in many cases preyed a sale. Now the
tables are turned ; the Irish bred, we'l-fed, and hardy
stores hive quite superseded the En;lis'a b-ed of the itame
class in the Norwich market. The English feeder now
inquires for the Irish sores, preferring them to their
home-bred, their prejudice being overcome by the proof of
the catt'e. A cry of "mad deg" is now raised, Oh ! the
murrain is in Ireland ! Shame, shame. And in =elusion
I say No. There is no foreign cattle murrain in Ireland.
otr agricultural prospects were newer so healthy; our
cattle are healthy, our p?opla are peaceable. Come
from Ragland and see us and our cattle. You will be
welcome. Be truthfil with us, and we will be your
brethren. I am the public's friend, Joni's' BOLTON,

head of cattle and 1,000 sheep yearly ]

ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY FRACAS BEFORE
THE BELFAST RIOT COMMISSIONERS.

In the course of the enquiry on Wednesday, Mr. Adam
Hill, superintendent of the police force, was examined by
Nlr. Rae, solicitlr. He pot some irrelevant questions.
A very curious s3ene occurrer'. From the report in the
Belfast News-Letter we ex'r act the following

Me. Faikiner : I again appeal to you, Mr. Lynch, as
controlling commissioner, to ask Mr. Rea, before ho is
permitted to proceed, to show the relevancy of this line of
examination to the riuts into which your commission
directs you to inquire.

Mr. Lynch : It would take twice as long for him to tell
it. (Laughter.)
Mr. Rea Co witness) : Do yHi state that you did not
vote for the dismi: sal of Mr. Thos. Verner ?

M. T. Verner (who occupied a seat on the bench) then
rose and said : Mr. Commissioner, I am sorry to interrupt
you, but he (11r. Rea) will insist on making these state-
ments regardinz me, I will 'be obliged to see what other
means can he taken respecting him.
Mr. Rea : Take any me,ins you like. I asked my
friend there (pointing to C ,pti.in Verner) to do that long
ago.

-Mr. Verner (turning to Mr. Rea) : I am no the friend of
any Kilm.iinh-mi spy.
Mr. : Y,)u are a liar and a coward ! (Grat uproar.)
I repeat you are a liar and a eowarl! (Renewed uproar,
and continued hisses.)

Mr. M.Lean (to M-. Red) : You utter the language of a
liar and a coward; it is on'y in court, where you are
protected, that you nie sach languaze. I now pronounce
von a liar and a coward, as I have done a hundred tiat,s
before.

Mr. Rea : I will deal with you.
Mr. M'Le : You ! you coward !
Mr. Lynch : I will stop this examination, if this go's

Mr. R?a : I was called a Kilmainham spy, when I was
proeeedirg vi .h my examination.
Mr. Ly❑ch : It was improper language.
Mr. Re•: I called him a liar and a coward in return ;
and I am ready to aniwer for it, at any time, and in any
pth CP.
Mr. Lynch . Y u stated autboritively, that Mr. Verner
was dismissed, and the witness on th) table says he was
not.

Mr. Rea : Whether he vas dlginis3ed or not it is no
discredit to him ;hut I had a right to -

Mr. Purcell : You should not have asserted as a fact
what was not proved, but what is d-nied. Tthra must be
some stop put to Mr. Re2s a'zgressions.
Mr. Lynch : Object to any coestios, and I will rule.
Mr. Filk:na,: We have protested against the line of
exqmination adopted by Re?, over and over again, but
without the least effect.

Mr. Purcell : I have repeatedly objected.
Mr. Rea said that, after hiving been grossly insulted,
and after the day was now so far advanced, it would be a
hardship to comp=l him to proceed with the further exami-
nation of Mr. Hill.

Mr. M Laan : I only said what I have said before—thz
youare a e-ward.

Mr. Re : Ani after being insulte3 by Mr. Verner, this
fellow (Mr. M4Lean) gets up too.
Mr. Purcell : I say--
Mr. Lynch : Now let us go on.
Mr. Purcell : I did not insult Mr. Rea.

Mr. Verner (addreFeing the Commissioners) said : If I
saidanythingl should not have said I--

Mr. Rea : You are very sorry !
:
Verner
Ills manner is so insulting.

Mr. Lynch But he is in the discharge of his duty.
Mr. Rea : I have Bean called a spy ; I was in jail as a
rebel.

Mr. M'Lean: You wera never tried as a rebel, which is
sasnie:ou.

Mr Rea then went on to say that he wished to allow that
the Town C uneil police force had been ured as a political
engine against the rights of the people, and to show, what,
he presumed the Commissioners would themselves recom-
mend, that the local police should be abolished, and that
there should be an Act of Parliament passed for their
abolition.

Mr. Lynch : All the examination, up to this time, has
been to show that the Corporation was a political body,
and fief acted in a way you didn't like.
Mr. Rea said be did not say anything about their
politics, but be did say that they kept themselves in office
the way a jury were kept in their room by the Sheriff, by
locking them up. He was, moreover, able to show how
Belfast got into its present state of anarchy, if be were al-
lowed to proceed.

Mr. A. Hill : In reply to what he states I wish to sa➢
that I bJliEve all the disturbance has been caused by
hitmelf.

Mr Rea: I have exposed other rasnlity, I admit.
Mr. Smythe: When you use language of that sort it
must irritate others.

Mr. Faikiner : The words "perjury," " villiany," and
" fraud," have been attributed by Mr. Rea to the Town
C.)urcil, and it is necessary that soaae comment should be
made upon such conduct.

Mr. I;yr ch : Surely comment nis.de by you, a man of
comm-,n sense, will not put an end to such language.
Mr. Rya : When you hive not the power to prvent me
from bk ing grossly insulted, you should give me time, till
to-morrow morning, to continue the ex maination.
It wa3 then arranged that the further examination of Mr.
Hill should be postponed till next day,

THE FAST DIY AND THE TIMBER TRADE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORFIIERN TIMES.

Sir,--In your paper of this day there is an
advertisement addressed to the Timber Trade of
England, Ireland, and Scotland, by a firm in town,
announcing the postponement of their sale in
consequence of the Humiliation-day, appointed by
her Majesty the Queen for Wednesday next. It
first appeared in a weekly paper two days ago, and
conceiving that the firm alluded to might have
allowed the expressions therein, regarding the Fast
and the cause of its appointment, to have escaped
them, through inadvertence, I took the liberity of
caking on them to point out what I considered
objectionable, and afterwards wrote to them on the
subject. As it did not appear in any of the. papers
yesterday (that I observed), I hoped that they had
resolved not further to insult the people of England
by a repetition of it; but it again appears in all the
local papears to-day, and I now, as one of the
public, take ,this made of entering my protest
against what they presume to affirm is the opinion
of the people of England.
Their advertisement (as I pointed out to them).
would not have been a bit less attractive by the
omission of the clause referred to, whi* to say
the least of it, is disloyalty to Gan and the Queen ;
and thccy, possibly, may find that the class to
whom they address thLmselves can show their
appreciation of such expressions in a way that will
not be pleasing to themsAves or their clients.—
Apologising for this intrusion on your space, I am,
sir, your most obedient, J. B. .
