ANOTHER ATTEMFTF.D MURDER BY A SAWYER.

Last week a man of the name of George Coraoy, a
sawyer, was drinking in a public•house in Warrington with
several other persons. The Ashton murders happened to
be talked of, and a man named Acton, who was present,
said," It was right the ringleader should be found out
andpunished." Conroy exhibited much vexation at the
remark, and brutally assaulted Acton ; the company inter-
fered, and Cunroy went out. He, however, shortly re-
turned with a sprig-bit, and inflicted two wounds on the
person of Acton, one in his left breast, the other in the ab-
domen. The wounds arc fortunately not mortal, the in-
strument not being long enough. Conroy was taken into
custody, and examined before the Magistrates, by whom
he was committed for trial at the Assizes.
