MURDER AND BURGLARY IN

CHESHIRE.

Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, the house
oil Mr. James Henderson, .a grazier and cattle
dealer, was entered by burglars, who shot him in
his bed. The house is situate on the roadside
leading from Cheadle to Bramhall, and is three
miles from Stockport. We have gathered from the
police in charge the following facts. The family
retired to rest at night about the usual hour and
made all safe. The father, owing to his wife being
ill, sleeps alone, on the same floor, however', as the
two daughters and their mother and the eldest son,
James. The mother's room is on the right of the
father's, the son's and danghter's on the left, and
they are all entered from the second landing of the
stairs. Thomas, a younger son, and two servants,
slyep in the garret at the back of the house, and all
in the same room. About two o'clock the family
were awoke by the raped of a gun or pistol, and
James, whose chamber door is close to his father's,
immediately jumped out of bed and seized a double-
barrelled gun, which stood loaded hard by. He
suddenly opened his door, which is directly oppo-
site to the landing, or landing below. He saw
what he took to be the dark outlines of a man, and
immediately he fired.. The man shrieked aloud
and made his escape, evidently being scarcely
touched. After James had fired at the man on the
landing, he and some other members of the family
went into their father's room, where they found the
poor old man weltering in his blood in bed. We
should have stated that directly the son had fired
at the man on the landing, 'two other men rushed
down stairs, and all three made their exit by the
hack doer of the house; which leads into a court-
yard. Thinking the wounded thief might be some-
where upon the premises, both the sons and the
two Servants went in search of him, 'first loading
the gun. Their search, however was futile, and we
'ear, from the shot entering the Wall behind the
fellow, that he was not hit at all. On making
search as to whether any money had been taken by
the alleles, they found that .a. leather trunk had
ben Cut open, from which 141. 10s. was missing ;
but they bad taken nothing else.
By what means the thieves entered is not known.
The house is quite lonely. In the room of the
murdered man there was a desk, which contained
an order on the Bank of Scotland for 1001., and a
receipt from the Manchester and Liverpool lis.riet
Bank for 931. 10s. The desk was not broken open
and the money remained untouched.
It seems that Mr. Henderson had his annual
cattletnhigouh gt salethought
t he on
thieves,n which
knowing
was
entered, and it is
tg this, expected a good,
the day before the
booty. The house is called Hardy Farm.
Messrs. Graham and Son, at the request of Mr.
Andrews, we believe, traced the course of the shot,
about 12 of which (size No. 6) they found lodged
in the brain. Mr. Andrews is the district superin-
tending constable, and arrived on the spot with
some men about four a.m.

Mr. Henderson was a man much respected. We
believe the inquest will be held this day.

The Weimar Gazette, the officiAl journal, in its num-
ber of Sunday announces in these terms the meeting
between the Emperors of Russia and Austria :—" The
two monarchs of Austria and Russia will be sireultane-
ou.ly on the let of Oct. on a visit to this court, and will
ccnsequently meet."

1854. I have suffered these 33 years continually

was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your, Reva-
