MURDER IN MONKIVEAR3IO UTH.

Another of those painful scenes of violence and
bloodshed which have unfortunately for some time
past been so prevalent among the Irish population
of Sunderland and neighbourhood has occurred, and
in the present instance, as in two or three others,
has terminated in the death of the unhappy victim.
John Mason, the man assailed, was a pitman, and
the murderer is Patrick Gorman, also a pitman.
Wilson, a man named Kagan, and John M'Kenna,
together with a number of others, were talking to-
gether in Wilson-street at a quarter to 1 o'clock on
Monday morning, when Patrick Gorman made his
appearance amongst them with an open clasp-knife
in his hand, and on one of them inquiring, " What
are you going to do with the knife ?" be at once
rushed amongst them and dealt out blows right and
left. One man was stabbed in the back; M'Kenna
received a cut on the knee ; and the knife entering
the soft part of Mason's thigh, caused the blood to
gush out in torrents. On seeing the effects of his
cowardice, Gorman instantly ran for refuge to one
of the passagesleading to Wilson-street. Two police-
officers were called to the spot, and conveying Mason
to his home, sent for surgeons to attend to him, but
so much blood had been lost by the severing of an
important artery that their services were of no avail,
and death ensued three hours afterwards. After the
officers had assisted the man home, they proceeded
in search of the prisoner, whom they found by the
print of a blood-stained hand on the wall, and at
once conveyed him in safety to the police station,
where he stated that he was followed home by three
men, knocked down and kicked, and he drew a
knife to defend himself. A pocket knife was found
in his possession, on which were marks of blood.
Mr. Elwin, a magistrate, and Mr. Abbs, the clerk,
were called to take the dying deposition, but the
man died within five minutes of their arrival. The
prisoner was placed before the magistrates at noon
on Monday, but was remanded for the production
of evidence.

"never since fifty years has Paris soon within its walls
such an assemblage of Princes."
