b( It is our painful task this week, to record one,
of the most arrocions.and iinnatural murders that
ever sta ned the criminal annals of this, or any
other country. '!'he following particulars have
been stated to us by a friend as arenrate.:—
fl irbard Glover, a potter, about seventy years
of a;.!e, his wife, nearly of the same age, awl their
son, William, age(' 40, lived together in a small
cottage, at Rh ydyblne, in Monmouthshire, near the
turnpike-road, leading from Merthyr Tydfil to Aber-
gavenny. On the morning of Friday the 3d instant,
the latter, horrible to relate, started from his sleep,
and, seizing a tram-cart axletree, killed his aged
father, by repeated blows with the sanie an his
bead ; being done, he dispatched his mother
also, and afterwards repaired to the house of his
sister, 'at the distance of about a mile. On his
arrival them, he proposed to liquidate a debt
he „owed hr r In-15,1)40, and produced three gui-
neas :in gold, which creating both surprise and
anxiety in the liti,shanti and wife, du y'vf course
ritiv,stiotictl hint as to the source Intuit wheneehe had
peoenred the Natvw. This shortly produced a full
contession of Isis guilt, and au acknowledgment at
the same time of his having taken the cash from
his mother's pocket. He was immediately secured,
and son the neighbours entering the house of his
murdered parents, a scene too shockiug to de-
scribe presented itself to them ; the Old man wer-
tering in his blood on theiloor, and his wile: nearly
expiring on the bed. Medical assistance was
teediatelv called in, but ibits of no avail. The
Coroner's .Ittry having sat on the bodies, a verdict
of ituriicr was tound against the prisoner,
who will lake his trial at the next Assizes for the
euuntv ol',Monnionth, like too many of our
mriilern criminal, attributed this sangnimiry and
ob.t revolting act to a sudden and irresistible in)*
produced by it dream, that the Devil had ap-
t ",,rcil to hint, and commanded hint to prpetrate the
