MURDER AT BOMBAY.—Two natives of Bom-

the molt inhuman murder on the records of

agreed to quit their fcrvice, and pars over to
the Ivlahratta Brom, for which purpofe they
hired a boat, and fet off in the evening with
the prifoners and two other men, to row the
boat ; after rowing fome time they dropped
anchor, when one of the prilbners came and
laid his hand on Govind's turban, who, proba-
bly apprehenfive of tome intended violence, put
his legs out of the boat, as if with a view ofjump-
ing overboard to cfcape ; he was dragged back,
what little property he had taken from him, and
hie turban taken off for the purpofe of tying his
hands, which they did, and threw him overboard.
His hands getting lode, they dragged him into
the boat, and tied them behind his back. While
this was doing, the wretched Govind allied if they
meant to kill him, they anfyiered ,g yes—for that
purpofe they brought him there," and threw him
overboard a fecund time ; but he not happening
to fink immediately, and his hands once more
getting look, they took him into the boat again,
(tabbed him with a knife in thej throat, retied his
hands and feet withhis turban, and threw him again
into the tea, linking him with their oars until the
body funk. The prifoners then plundered the
affrighted girl of her nofe and ear ornaments, and
fome flyer bungles on her arms and legs, and
dripping Ober naked, threw her into the tea ; the
providentially floated, and drifted towards a boat
at lonic affiance, which had come from Tannah
loaded with wood and charcoal, then lying at
anchor waiting the turn of the tide ; a rope was
hanging over this boat's fide, and the girl, by
means of it, got. on board ; the found all the crew

cafioned, they paid every attention to her which
their circunidances admitted, by giving her a
cloth to cover her, Ste. and shortly after landed
her at Bombay. Shc immediately repaired to the
Superintend:rut of the Police, narrated her Rory,
and gave filch defcription the offenders as led
to the deteaion ofone of them on the day following
and of the other in a few weeks after, when taken
into custody on fome other charge. The latter,
on being pointed out to the girl the hefitated,
obferving, that although of the fame fiat and
figure, the murderer wore his hair and whilkers,
which the prifimer did not : on hearing:him (peak,
however, (he was positive as to his voice ; and
the defcribed a mark on the back of his hand.
The girl's obfervation, however, regarding the
prifoncr's whifkcrs and hair would perhaps have
proved an inftsrmountable defect in the defcriptior.
