Betwixt the night of Friday and morning of Sa-
turday last, a roost barbarous and deiiherate murder
NVIWCOM nitted in the town of liiimarnock, on Jean
lexunder and Chriitian Peacock, in. the dwelling
house= of the former. It appearo that they Were
strangled, the one with a cord and the other with a
\andkerchief. The
.perpetrators robbed the house
of )51. in silver, bank notes to. the amount of
.5.01.
Iwo silver watches. and three plain, gold rings. ',From
Precognition taken, there is reason to suspect That
~Vtiliatu,litunside, jouineytnau shoemaker in
,Kil-
nurnock, and Thomas Taggart, 'also a journeyman
6eillaker, are ace persons guilty of this shucking
'Murder and ;robbery. These men are natives of
Irela9d and, we understand, warrants of commit-
Meat are made out agaibit them, and every, poiSi-
ble exertion using to discover and apprehend them.
