ANOTHER MURDER IN NORFOLK.

LYNN, APRIL 14.—This county seems determined
to establish its reputation for holding a prominent po-
sition in the register of horrors, as the dreadful
tragedy which occurred at Castle Rising, about four
mites distant from Lynn, on Sunday last, has been
followed in its excitement by the intelligence (just
arrived here) that a murder of a gill stranger descrip-
tion was on the same day committed at Outwell, a
village distant about ten miles from Lynn, and mid-
way between Wisbeach and Downham Market.

It appears that on Sunday, three 1;;;, -whose
names we have not learned, aged respectively 13, 9,
and 7, were together in a field at some distance from
the villa, where they were employed in ofcrow-
scaring, the eldest boy having a gun in his posses-
sion, to fire occasionally, for the purpose of frighten-
ing the birds from eating the seed wheat. While
in conversation with his two companions this boy
made allusion to something which be had said
in their presence on a former day, adding that,
4, if he knew they mentioned it to any one
he would kill them." The youngest boy seems to
have been frightened at this declaration, for,
in tearful mood, be replied, " What shall I do, then ?
I told my mother last night." Upon hearing this
admission the eldest boy raised his gun to the fore-
head of the speaker, pulled the trigger, and by the
explosion shattered his skull and spread his brains
over the field. The gun, it is said, contained no shot,
but the wadding passed completely through the head
of the poor little fellow who made the imprudent con-
fession. Frightened at the act which he ha.dcommit-
ted, the murderer prevailed upon his surviving com-
panion to promise secrecy, and to assist him to
dis•
pose
of the dead body, which was done by dragging it
to a dry ditch, where it was carefully buried. The
two boys then returned to the spot where their corn
panion had been shot, and gathering up his brains and
the shattered fragments of the skull, they threw them
into his cap. After this they kindled a fire of turf
(the field being in the fens), upon which
they placed
the cap which they watched until with its contents it
was entirely consumed.
Upon their return home inquiry arose concerning
the murdered child, when the companion of the mur-
derer confessed to the particulars above narrated, and
was with the murderer himself taken into custody.
The body was found as above described, upon which
an inquest will be held.
It is thought possible that the boy who fired the
gun did not suppose the act would prove fatal, owing
to its being loaded with powder only ; but more will
probably be known on this point after the inquest.
