In our. Paper Some-time ago,- we recorded an RC-
count of a...most shocking murder, committed by.
John Williams, late of the Wood-houses, near Whit-
church, on the body, of his wife. Notwithstanding
the most diligent search, no traces of the murderer
could be discovered, and it was concluded he had
made his escape.—ln eluding the punishment with
I- which the law would have visited his crime, he met
with it in the torturing agonies of a guilty can-
science.—He fella vi&im to despair, and died by his
own hands !—On Thux3day morninghis body was
found hanging at the top ola barn in Norbury, near
the place where he had committed his crime, From
its putrid state, it is probable he had hung himself
soon after the murder. We have not heard the vet,
'diet of the Coroner's Inquest, but it may be calcu-
lated upon
,with tolerable precision.
