LOUTH, oaroua e.
In the night of Tuesday, the 7th instant, Thomas
Hall, aged about seventy, and Mary Grant, his house-
keeper, of about the same age, who had many years
resided by themselves in a very lonely cottage in Thad-
dlethorpe, about twelve miles from Loath, in Lin-
colnshire, were most inhumanly murdered by some
diabolical monitor or monsters in human shape, who
entered the back wall of the house by a breach made
therein for the bloody purpose. The dead bodies of
these unfortunate victims were first discovered about
three o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday the Bth
instant, by some labourers, who expected Hall to meet
them, at a previous hour, to assist in some work at a
drain. near his house, and who, after waiting beyond
the time appointed for his attendance, proceeded to
ascertain the cause of his absence by calling upon him,
wen, after observing large quantities of blood, which
had streamed through the floors of the upper rooms
upon the floors and furniture of those below, they ad-
vanced up stairs into the two bed-chambers, iu one of
which they beheld the appaling spectacle of the man-
gled corpse of the housekeeper, placed in a sitting pos-
mre upon the floor, with her back against the wall,
having on her stays and ander petticoat. and, in the
other. the still more terrific object of her dead master,
lying with his face upon the floor, and having on no
apparel but his shirt.
Upon the arrival of the Coroner and Jury to view
this scene of carnage, on the 9th insulin, the bodies,
but more particularly that of Mr. Hall; exhibited al-
most every conceivable mark of the most sanguinary
barbarity. Many savage blows had been inflicted
upon his head and face, an attempt had been made to
cut his throat, in defending which he was deeply stab-
bed in various parts of both arms, and one of his fin.
gets was nearly severed by a cut; in his shoulders,
legs, and thighs, he had also many deep stabs; but
the most furious attack appears to have been epon the
trunk of his body. where four deep wounds were dis-
covered, one large enough to admit three or four fin-
gers quite through into the stomach, another on the
left side of the gavel, and twoanore (the fatal wounds)
which penetiated between the ribs, on the left side,
through the left lobe of the lungs into the left ven-
tricle of the heart. Drendfol blows bad been inflicted
upon the head and lace of thebousekeeper, who was
also stabbed quite through one of her arms, and ter-
ribly stabbed in various other parts of heybody, the
fatal stab having been directed through bet left nos-
ttil into the brain.

Thus terminated the ezistenee of those aged, harm-
less, and inoffensive people, whose struggles to save
their lives against this murderous attack musthave been
very great ; and there is hardly a doubt but the per-
son or persons who committed these bloody deeds'
must have been wounded in the conflict, particularly
as the prongs of a hay-fork, which Hall used to keep
in his bedroom, were ['mod near him newly broken
from the shaft, and covered with blood ; but neither'
the shaft nor any other instrument which had been
used in the murders could be dis:overed. Tho various
'stabs in the bodies seemed to have been inflicted by
such a knife as butchers use in slaughtering cattle; and,
from some circumstances, it is supposed that when
the murders had been completed, the delinquents pro.
ceeded to rummage the house in search of money and
other valuables, as there wire found upon the bed
where Hall had slept, a tea-pot containing two tlelol
notes,"ind just by the tea-pot one other al 0 note, and.
scattered upon the floor, near the body, seven Opens
in gold, and several silver table and tea-spoons; but
that, suddenly alarmed by the songs and shoots of
some persons who were returning by Hall's house
from a harvest supper, between eleven and twelve
o'clock in the night of the murders, the bstbarians
instantly extinguished their light, and decamped with-
out their plunder.
At present no clue has been found to trace the per.
petrators of this unparalleled outrage upon domestic
security, in the silent hour of sleep. The Coroner's in-
quest is therefore adjourned ; and it is to be hoped that
such means will be immediately used as may lead to
a speedy detection of the offenders.
A dog which Mr. Hall kept in his house in the
night-time, of a ferocious temper, was found when
the discoverers of the murders entered, lieking up the
blood from the door helm ; and what is somewhat
remarkable, the dog. was not hurt, which induces a
suspicion that he either knew the murderers, or by
some artifice was quieted by them ; otherwise, in all
probability, he would have attacked, sod either have'
repelled, or been killed by them.
