BARBAROUS MURDER.

for. the officers, and had givikOnialetiaAtev nei-
ther of the bodies of the mpiperpipewwnifiould be
moved from the positions- in_whicli they fust appeared on
the discovery. The officers accordingly proceeded in
their examination of the premises : they at once discover-
ed that the house had been entered by theimirderers by the
expedient of taking .a small pane of glass out of the win-
dow that led into the wash-house, and removing
.a very
slight iron bar. None of the property below stairs ap-
peared to have been touched, for every thing was in the
same state as had been observed by some of the neigh-
bours a few days previously to the murder. The officers
then ascended into the rooms up stairs, one of which, at
the head of the staircase, the female slept in, at the ex-
treme of which was a door leading into that occupied by
the old man. On entering this room, the unfortunate
woman was observed lying on the flat of her back, with
her feet towards the door. There was a pool of blood
surrounding her head, the back part of which was frac.
tured in a shocking manner, apparently by a blow of a
heavy bludgeon, or some blunt instrument. There were
black marks on her neck, as if an attempt had been made
to strangle her; and one of her hands was, bruised, ap-
parently in consequence of holding it up to avert the
blows of her inhuman murderer. From the position is
which the body was lying it would appear that the poor old
creature was in lie e 6 ...room, immediately adjoining
that in which her ; erer lay; and that, hearing a
noise below stairs o ens getting into the house, she
arose, and in her fright was about to seek the protection of
the old man, and had just time to enter the door of his
room, when she received theblow on the back part of the
skull, which fractured it, and laidher prostrate on the floor.
To the right of the door the body of the old man lay ex-
) tended on the bed, to which he had been confined for
the last few years. It presented a shacking speetsele—
both of the hands were raised up over his head, as if
'defending it from the blows of the murderer. The,
knuckles, and across the back part of the hands, were
dreadfully lacerated ; and on the right side of his head, a
little above the ear, appeared the wound that had caused
his death. The bed-clothes were streaming with gore,
and his night-cap, which was lying close alongaide the
pillow, was saturated in blood. The horrible sight wan
calculated to sicken the heart, and as soon as the officers

had minutely examined each of the bodies, they proceeded
to search the room, in order to discover whether the mur-
derers had left behind them any clue by which it would be
possible to trace them. Nothing, however, was found to
throw the slightest possible light on the discovery of the
perpetrators, although every atom of the house was mi-
nutely examined from top to bottom. The chests in the
upper rooms occupied by the deceased persons were, found
to have been rummaged, but none of the property which
they contained, consisting of clothes, together with the
will of the old man, bequeathing his little cottage and spot:
of ground to his daughter, were touched. On questioning
several of the persons who reside in the neighbourhood,
and who, it appears, were well acquainted with the de-
ceased, it did not seem that a vestige of property belonging
to the old people had been taken off the premises. Indeed,
there was nothing of any value in the place that could
possibly induce any person to have committed so dreadful
a crime in the expectation of acquiring much plunder.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the above-muned Ma-
, gistrates, all of whom have been indefatigable in their ex-
ertions in procuring some clue to the perpetrators of so
atrocious a murder, nothing yet has transpired to throw
any light on the horrible affair. We understand that about
three Years ago the old people had been robbed by a man
who was subsequently tried and convicted for the offence.
Since the murder a rumour has gone abroad that this indi-
vidual was seen in the neighbourhood of Epsom a few
days prior to the tragical event. In fact, there are a thou-
sand vague reports flying about on the subject of the mur-
der, but as yet we can positively assert that the chief cir-
cumstances of the murder still remain involved in mystery.
The Rev. Mr. Rolland had hand-bills immediately printed
and distributed, offering a reward for the apprehension of
the perpetrators of this most diabolical murder.
It is expected that the Coroner's Jury will sit on the
bodies of the deceased on Monday or Tuesday next.

MELANCHOLY CASE of HYDROPHOBI A.

We are sorry to announce another case of this dreadful
disorder; similar in many. respects to one which occurred
here a few weeks ago. In both cases the tuthapll- victims
met their deaths by the bites of cats.

The sufferer in this ease was Ann Baldwin, aged about
53 years, who resided in Briercliffe'a Buildings, (ravel-
lane, Salford, and was generally employed as a washerwo-
man. It appears, that about three months ago she was
washing at Mr. Woolley's, in Broughton-street, (not one
hundred yards from the place where ;Mr. Vaughan was
bitten), when a strange cat entered the wash-house, and
was attacked by two of Mr. Woolley's dogs. Mrs. Bald-
win endeavoured to extricate- the cat, when it fixed its
teeth upon the fore-finger of her right hand, and inflicted
a very severe wound. The animal appears to have been,
at the time, greatly enraged, as it was not without consi-
derable difficulty that her hand was liberated from its jaws.
Though the wound was painful, she continued at her em-
ployment during the remainder of the day; but it increas-
ed in soreness, inflammation succeeded, 'and continued
about a week, extending up the fore-arm. Until Friday,
however, she continued to follow her usual occupation ;
but on that day the pain extended to her back and shoul-
ders, and was accompanied by frequent shivering% end ex-
treme irritability. Early on Friday morning Mr. Fernley
visited her, and found her labouring under an evident spas-
modic. affection of the muscles of the throat. This was
considerably aggravated by an offer of any thing to swal-
low ; which, she remarked, would certainly , choke her.
It was with considerable difficulty that she could show her
tongue, and when she had done so, she invariably seemed
to feel ashamed, and hid her face. In this state she con-
tinued until seven o'clock on Monday morning, when death
put an end to her sufferings,
An inquest was held on Tuesday at the Cow and Culf,
Gravel-lane, Salford, before john Milne, Esq. and a re-
speotuble Jury, when the following evidence was ad-
duced
