and Rev. Mr. Best, and is now undergoing considerable
repairs. The parties concerned are Thomas Molard Shurmur and
Thomas Braley, both employed en the premises, the former as fore-
man, and the latter as timekeeper. It appears that Shurmur lost a
sum of money, stated to be 521., from his dwelling-house in the
town where Braley lodges, and, having suspicious he was the thief,
he accused him of it, which was denied by hint. Shurmur, it ap-
pears, mentioned his loss to Mr. Baverstock, the contractor, and
also his suspicions. Mr. Baverstock advised them to go into the
office and settle the matter between themselves in the best manner
they could, which they said they would. On entering the office
Shurmur locked the door, and after putting the key in his pocket
asked Braley to tell him what he had done with the money. Braley
again denied the theft, whereupon Shurmur took a pistol from his
packet and said, " If you will not tell me what you have done with
it, I will shoot you," and immediately fired at him. The report
of dee pistol and cries of Braley soon biougra wicnc of the
workmen to the spot, and, after forcing open the door, poor Fraley
fell into the passage covered with blood. The ball had entered
on the left side of his face, near the corner of the nose, and
come out behind his ear. Medical aid was immediately called in, but
little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Shurmur did not attempt
to make his escape, and was taken into custody by Mr. Van Santen,
the superintendent of the rural police, and brought to Andover, where
the magistrates were sitting, and alter the facts of the case were
stated he was remanded, to give the police time to get the witnesses
together. Braley continues perfectly sensible, but denies having
stolen the money. It is stated that Shurmur on the same morning
borrowed the pistol of his sister.in -law, and, having loaded it with
powder only, he took it to a gunsmith of the name of Feuthrop, and
had a new flint put into it, remarking to Fouthrop that he was going
to frighten a fellow that had robbed lihn ; he also procured some
bullets from a neighbour, telling him the same as he told the gun-
smith. Shurniur is a very respectable man, and was formerly a sus
voyor and auctioneer of this town ; but, being unfortunate in bast-
ness, he repaired to London, and about twelve months ago hearing
that Red Rice-house was partly to be rebuilt, he sought and obtained
the situation of foreman, which he has held till this occurrence took
place. Shurmur was again brought up for examination this day be-
tore the Rev. C. Randolph, and again remanded to await the issue.

FINGUL A It DISCoVERY. The Galloway Advertiser
contains the following statement from a corresdondent in Kirk-
patrick, Durham, dated Jan. 26 : --An old man died a few days ago
at Crocketford, named Andrew limes, aged 75, the last of the sect of
the Ituchanites, of whose history your readers generally will be ac-
quainted. The first convert to the faith was Elspeth Simpson, wha
died filly-four years ago, and it was supposed she was buried about
Auchengibbert, in the parish of Urr, until within this lalt year.
since old Andrew becalm infirm, sonic people began to suspect be
b
had her body in the house ever since her death ; but it remained a
secret until Wednesday last, when he died, and her body was then

it appears it was decayed almost to a skeleton, but the Ain WM
