111U.RDER AT PLYMOUTH.

A deliberate murder, attended with circumstances
of great ferocity, took place at Plymouth late on
Saturday night, the parties to the shocking affair
being all Irish seamen. The Cork Steamship Coln-
pany's vessel Prussian Eagle was lying in the
Great Western Docks, and on Saturday afternoon.
three of her seamen, ohn Hart, Cornelius Moyina,
and Daniel Harrington, had been on shore drink-
ing, returning to the vessel in the evening in n,'
semi-intoxicated state. Shortly after they* returned
some words and a wrangling took place between
Harrington and Moyina ; subsequeutly a violent
quarrel and a fight ensued, and they fought for
some time, Moyina proving himself by far the better
man. The affair then seemed to have been-cloaca.,
but Hart, apparently not liking the turn things had
taken, said he could fight Moyina ; but whether all,
blows did actually take place between Moyina and
him at present appears to be unknown, Moyina
then sat down on a seat and leaned against A
bulkhead, the whole affair taking place in the shiP's
forecastle. While be was in that position Hart:
without apparently any further provocation, rushed
at him and struck him three violent blows on
the nose, and threw his body on him. while
Moyina was thus lying back struggling under
Hart in a half stupified state, Hart put his hand in
his own pocket, drew forth a clasp knife, which be
unclasped, drove it into Moyina's body, and then
coolly wiping it on the back peal of his own troll'
sers replaced it in his pocket. The knife took
effect in Moyina's heart, killing him instantly. Ili
boy present gave an alarm, and a quartermaster
the ship coming down ordered Hart to give him
the knife, which lie did. The quartermaster then
placed a bag under the deceased's head and left
him there, believing him only to be exhausted by
the struggle, and not examining as to what injury
the knife had done. Hart and the quartermaster
returned on deck. The murder was committed he:
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, but the fatal
nature of the affray was not discovered until about
three o'clock the following morning. The deceased,
appearing not to recover, was examined by some 01
his shipmates, and his death discovered. In the
interim Hart had got back the knife from to
quartermaster, and it cannot now be found. On
Sunday morning Hart was taken into custody by
the Plymouth police, on a charge of murder, and
Harrington apprehended charged with assaulting
the deceased. ' The quartermaster and boy have
also been detained as witnesses, but the vessel left
Plymouth on Sunday morning to convey troops
from Bristol to Cork.

The body of the deceased awaits a coroner's in'
quest, which will come off to-day.
Hart is 25 years of age, and a wife and child at
Cork. Harrington is 23. The deceased was also
a young man, and has also left a wife and child at
Cork,
