me
that the occupants were the murderers. The
prisoner
Thomas Martin was apprebendiCd under
very remark-
able circumstances. The police, whilst scouting the
country, had their attention directed to a wood by as
extraordinary number of crows hovering round one of the
trees, at the same time they were making an unusual
noise,. The officers imagined that probably some on•
was concealed in the tree, and -on going-, to_ ascertain
whether such was the case or not they found the man
concealed in a bush near the tree. From the state of
his clothes it was quite apparent that he had been wash-
ing them, to remove the marks of blood.
Patrick Leary, Michael Leary., William Norris, and
John Norris were all apprehended in the neighbourhood
of Cambridge. Patrick Leary, on being identified by a
man the police took along with them, said " I suppose
you want me; I am willing to go. I am willing to suffer
for what I have done." The prisoners, upon being
searched at the police station, were found to have marks
of blood upon their clothing. They have all been placed
in custody, where they will remain until the Coroner's
inquest is brought to a close.

knots, or nearly 201 statute miles ; she performed the
second mile, against the tide, in 4 min. 30 sec., or at

the third run with tide, in 3 min. 25 sec., or at the rate
of 17.561 knots, or more than 19i statute miles; and
the fourth run, against tide, in 4 min. 22 sec., or 13.74
knots, or 15i statute miles. The average speed of
the tour runs, therefore, was 15.614 knots, or 19 1.12 th
statute miles an hour. It should be stated that
the iron bottom of the Llewellyn was very foul,
the vessel not having been docked since she was
launched. This circumstance was of course a drawback
on her performances. She has since been taken into
dock, and her bottom has been cleaned, and on Monday
she will proceed down the river on another trial, when
the above excellent results, it is expected, will be ex-
ceeded.— United Service Gazette.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A Severely Bruised and
Wounded Leg Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
—Mr. Hugh M'Neil, of Kincardine, a shipwright, when
working on a vessel, struck his leg a most violent blow,
which inflicted a severe bruise and wound. The limb
immediately turned black from the ankle to the hip; all
applications to it for weeks had no power to heal the
wound. The sufferer having beard so much in praise of
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, determined on trying
them, and fortunately he did, for by their use alone his
leg was cured, and he was able in a month to resume his
work. Sold by all Drogists, and at Professor Iloilo-
