MURDER NEAR BARNSLEY.—We have this
morning received intelligence of the murder of Mr. George '
Blackburn, farmer, Hilltop, near Barnsley. It appears
that he was returning home last evening, when, on the
road near to his own house, a stone from an unseen person
was thrown at him, and with such force as almost to dis-
able him ; he, however, managed to reach his own house,
but in such a state that his life was despaired of. Medical
aid was procured, hut he expired shortly after his arrival.
No clue to the murderer has as yet been obtained. The
deceased, we understand, was about fifty years of age,
and highly respected in the neighbourhood in which he
lived, and such a diabolical attempt is not easily ac-
counted for.—Sheffield Patriot, Oct. 6.
DEMERARA.—An atrocious murder was com-
mitted in Demeri.r.. kst summer. The murdered man,
Sampson, had been married after the negro fashion to a
woman call,Al Penny Rose, to whom it appeared he had
not been constant. Another negro, named Blount, after-
ards cohabited with Rose. Some jealousies sprung up,
which ended in Blount and Rose Penny perpetrating the
murder. Both the woman and her paramour were found
gui:ty. Penny, being a female, was asked by the Chief
Justice whether she had anything to say why execution
should not take place according to the sertence. Preg-
nancy was pleaded, and a jury of matrons was summoned
and sworn to try whether she was " quick with child."
Their deliverance was that she was " not with child. "
She was thereforo left for execution. Her co
ared nduct
callous
during
the trial was careless, and at last she appe.
When asked what she had to say why execution should not
take place, she looked sulkily upon the crowd around her,
and said, 6, Dana me one bab trouble !" They were
both sentenced to be executed on the 29th of August.
