MURDER.

On Friday last an inquisition was taken at Had.
leigh, by JAMES W n en, Gent. Coroner for the Li-
berty of Bury St. Edmund's, on the body of MARY
VINCE, singlewoman, aged about I!,, who was awoke
out of her sleep; and stabbed with a knife in two
parts of her body, whilst alone in bed, by JAmcs
VI el et, farmer, of the same place, about four o'clock
in the morning of Wednesday the Ist of June, of
which wounds she lingered until half past twelve
o'click the same night, and then died.—Jurors' ver-
dict, Wilful Murder.
It appeared, on the Coroner's inquest, that the
unhappy perpetrator of this atrocious murder went
t the house of his relation, the mother of the de-
ceased, at the same place, about eleven o'clock of
the previous night, where he sopped, and proposed
sleeping with Limo'. Vimcp, (brother of the de-
ceased) which the latter consented to.—Abort
twelve o'clock they retired to rest, but JAMES VINCE
appeared much disturbed in his mind, and about
four o'clock in the morning, LioNet was awoke by
the cry of Murder,' and on running down stairs
met his sister, who told him that she had been stabbed
twice in her body with a hog-knife, which was lying
bloody on the floor, and then fainted away in his
arms.
Jealousy is supposed to have been the cause of
this rash action, the perpetrator having been previ-
ously much attached to the deceased.
Wednesday last the above-named JA sits VINCt
was committed to Bury gaol by Tito sins S. GOOCkis
Esq. charged with the said offence.

Yesterday the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, and
Common Councilmen proceeded from Guildhall,
to present an Address to his MAJESTY, [tee prayed.

sion, on the prosecution of the Society for the Sup-
