ATROCIOUS MURDER. IN INDIA.

By a communication from the district of Afoauffiirpore, we learn
that a moat atrocious murder was committed in a village called
Buasuntpore, on the 28th of January, by a petty Rajepoot Zemin-
dar, by name Doorgopaul Sing.
This villain entered the village with an armed hand of 600 men,
two elephants and four horses. Their object appeared to be
plunder, for they began immediately to rib the villagers' kallians
or granaries of paddy, and carried away about one thousand
maunde. The poor villagers implored for mercy, but Doorgopaul
Sing, descended from his elephant, and with his own hands ,cut
two of the bye-standers to pieces. After committing this horrible
murder, he had the dead bodies placed upon his own elephant, aid
made off with his banditti. One of the deceased was a Musaul-
man peon belonging to Mr. G. Palmer, who farms lands about
the place ; the other was a Hindoo, named Jubber Thour, Ryot.
On quitting the village of Buteuntpore, after eonunitting this
crime, (which was perpetrated tdiout three o'clock in the after-
noon, in the presence of a crowd of men, women, and children),
Doorgopaul and his ruffians betook themselves to a mud fort class
by, where they remained until near midnight, and then went Leib
the jungle. Previous to leaving the mud fort, however, they sat
fire to two.empty huts belonging to.Doorgopani, to serve, it is sup-
posed, as some pretext for murder.
Doorgopaul secreted himself iu the jungle for three days, and was
taken one morning as early as four o'clock`, as hewaspiteeing through
a village, called Ryabbarine belonging to Rajah Alahtaje Chat_
tau Sing. He was mounted on a common tattoo ; and ICCOM-
psnied only by a little boy named Ryahbenee. Being questioned by
the Chowkeyders, he told them his name, upon which they took
him in custody; stating, that he stood accused of murdering
two men. He endeavoured afterwards to escape, but too
strictly watched. Up to the 7th inst., the date of our correspon-
dent's letter, the bodies of the unfortunate murdered men bad
not been found, nor bad the elephants and pultouti bent
taken into custody. It was supposed they had croaked the
Ganges, in the direction of Rhauglipore. We trust the
