HORRID MURRID OF A WIFE BYHER i"ll
—BATIIGATE, MAY 23.—Our hitherto peaceful
been thrown into a state of unusual excitement hY th
petration of a murder of the most cold-blooded and dehhemett
kind. It appears that on last Sunday night, a info 'tbar.
31 `Crinen brought his wife and child to Ballancrietf tol 00
in the vicinity of his dwelling, and after treating her tomAi
gill of liquor, they all proceeded homeward, but when Play
a neighbour's house, the wife went in, and begged of ,s boo
inside to shut the door, and keep out her husband ;, Ritb
getting in, ordered her out, when she went with bu the
tt
great reluctance, at the same time asking the mistre,s,e
house to accompany them on the road, who comPil•—id her
the request, and carried the child, until the husband-U)thetr :
very abruptly, that she need not go any further ; she 510
fore returned to her own house, but after being in ui.„5,03,,
was awakened, at one o'clock next morning, by the he oat
knocking at the door, and requesting her to rise, as sloPb
his wife would not go home with him. The wonal,:erinall •
with some others in the house, proceeded to where k desdi
said his wife was sitting, where they found her quite,, cor
almost in a state of nudity, and in a horribly mutilale"doo,
dition. It appeared as if he had dragged her up alaii:ol
the road, as part of her hair and blood was on the `°,,poiya
and stones on the road. The child, who had been Ae"tees'
all night, was nearly dead, but was revived, and hour., 08
