MURDER AT BoNEIT, IN LINCOLNSIIIRE.-OR the
evening of the 7th inst., an affray took place at the small
village of Booby, near Barton-upon-Humber, which has re-
sulted in the death of a young man named Robert Sinderson.
The deceased lived close to the cottage occupied by one
Robert Meggitt, an old man 72 years of age, and said to be
of violent temper and quarrelsome manners. On the evening
in question the son and grandchildren of Meggitt, who occu-
pied a room in the same cottage, were awoke by a loud noise
in the apartment below, whch arose from Meggitt's ill-
treatment of his wife. They called for assistance, and the
deceased coming in rescued the wife and held the old man
down upon the bed. The latter, however, managed to elude
his grasp, and, taking up a long clasp-knife, plunged it into
the body of the deceased up to the haft. Poor Sindc.rson
walked home, but his wound was found to be of a very se-
rious nature, the bowels being lacerated and protruding so
seriously that they could not be reduced ; and, after lingering
for a few days, he expired in great agony. An inquest has
been held on the body, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" re-
turned against Meggitt, who has accordingly been committed
to Lincoln for trial.
