BRUTAL IVIURD iAt. OF A SON BY A

FATHER.

Stockport, Monday Evening.
A foul and most unnatural murder was perpetrated at
Hraton Norris, in this borough, during the night between Sa-
turday and Sunday. The victim is a 3oung man, twenty-
ti o years of age, a power-loom weaver in the macufactory
of
M..ssrs. Hole, Lingard, and Cruttenden, and his destnler it
his own father' The dreadful deed was committed in the
excitement of intoxication. The following are the par-
ticulars :—.

Charles Miller, the prisoner, is about fifty years of age,
and a shoemaker by trade. He lived with his
wife, the de-
ceased, and two other children, in Sone-lane, and kept a beer--
house, called by the sign of the White Horse. He was ha-
bitually addicted to liquor ; and it is said that his wife, with
whom he lived uncomfortably, followed his example. When
in a state of inebriation he frequently used violence to those
who opposed hs desires, and this unhappy failing led to the
lament sble catastrophe. Between twelve and one o'clock he
was quarrelling with his wife, and blows having passed be-
tween them, some one who was drinking in the house went
out to fetch the deceased, who was sitting with a neighbour.
He came immediately, and proceeded up stairs, where the
quarrel was taking place. We have inspected the premises,
and tind that at the top of the stairs there is a bedroom to the
is. ft, containing two beds ; another to the right, containing
one bee ; and beyond this there is another room, which the
prisoner appropriated to the purposes of a workshop. Some
molds took place between the prisoner and the deceased,
which irritated the former beyond measure ; for whilst his son
was just at the top of the stairs he went through the bedroom
to the right zo the workshop, and returned with a small
sharp knike, which is used to cut leather. On arriving at the
saise where his son was standing, he instantly stabbed him in
the left breast with the knife. The young man, immediately
On receiving the wound, turned his face to the wall,
and the
blood flowed against it with great force. Ile then -walked the
length of two paces into the bedroom to the left, fell.on his
face, and expired. The floor and his clothes were completely
covered with Wood. Longson, a police-officer, who happened
to he near, was called in, and he found the deceased dead, and
the prisoner sitting on the bed nearest the corpse. He sent
for Mr. Sadler, the efficient superintendent of the Stockport
police, who soon arrived, and, speaking to the prisoner, said,
Why, Mi!lsT, they tell me you've klled your son, by stab-
bing. him with a knife." To which he replied, " I cannot
help it if I have. We had been falling out; he followed me
up stairs, and when I eas upon the bed lie struck me twice.
I could not stand that, so I went into my workroom, and got
hold of something whether it was a knife or not, Ido not
knos.v—and st uck him with it; it was a chance blow, and I
cannot hele it." Ho was then conveyed to the New Bailey;
and, in the reeantiese, Mr. W Rayner, surgeon, was called in
to see the deceased, hut, as might he expected, his Alit was of
ne avail. Yestrrday morning Mr. &idler visited the prisoner
in the New Bailey He was then le covered from his drunken-
ness, and asked, with much epr.arent soiicitude, whether his
son %%se really dead. Mr. Sidier's answer was, lam sm.,
to tell you lie is ds;ad ; he died before I brought you away."
The prisoner then observed, " Was he? I did net know it"
Mr. Sadler idol rated us that, about twelve months ago, he was
obliged to take both the prisoner and the deceased into cus:
tody for fighting with each other. The inquest will be held
to-morrow, before W. S. Rutter, Esq., Coroner for the hun-
dred of Salford.

reduced, and he died of the wound. The French had made a
sortie on another occasion, and had reached our advanced

to the gates of the town. In the ardour of the chace, Major
