EXTRAORDINARX CASE OF STABBING.

t _.

A melancholy event occurred at Ipswich on Sunday
evening, the 12th inst. and the following are the 'prin-
cipal•facts of this shocking and tragical case:
Eizabeth Squirrel is the soffeier's game, and :hat of
the individual, by whose hands she bas is Thos.
Chinct.y .rd. The formes was homekeeper, and the
latter footmen, in the service of William Rod Nell, E q.
a solicitor in the bnroligh of Ipswich. The deceased
had been a long time in the family. and was well liked,
but Churchl aid was a particular favourite with Mr
and Mrs. Rodvrell, he being considered a very good
servant, and a well conducted young man. It seems'
that it has been the practice with Kr. Rodwell to
make all the inmates of his house attend family

prayer upon the Sabbath tvening, and on last Sunday
the deceased, Churchyard, and the rest, attended as
usual, after which Churchyard prepared the table for
supper, which being ended, he brought out the tsay with
the dishes, and set it down. The deceased, Elizabeth
Squirm', went into the pantry, and remarked to him
that hi I:ad taken the wrong tray, which he told her
was not !.et affair ; upon which szs ne high words passed
between them, and then it was that the wound was in-
flitted, which in a few hours caused the death of the
ill-fated Elizabeth. In a few minutes afterwards she
came ou of we pant. y, and went to thekitchea, u hen
she complained to the housemaid of being very sick.hut
without deaciih.ng the peculiar cause of her indisposi•
ton, or in any wAy giving a hint i f what it wa : S'ie
was recommetide t to take a little brandy and water,
and get into bed; this she at length agreed to; and
when the housemaid (Maria Dish°, ) was assisting
the deceased exclaimed," Oh! I a•ii in great pain—do
not to cii my side--it 1... s burst." The hraisemaii'was
astonished by the I:toe-sin, , on looking at the de-
ceased% clothes she found them quite saturated w,th-
blood, aged the bed-clothes rpon which she was then
rectinkg wa• als., stained who bond. The other sir
wants wise then ailed to 1::e room. and the deceased
said to one ol them, I. Oh, C ally, lam dying." Mr.
and Mrs. Roily ell -.7eie then called into the room, and
a stagean was sent immediately. On being ,•losely
que.aioned. the detea.eil si.id ;het O:ititch)arsi ortl she
had quarre.led. and oat he tad thrown a knife at her,
which wnetrated l et stile,,but added, that she had pro-
voked him. Upor I).:tig further questioned, stle said
that if every one hot her mistier. and Sally left the
room, she would to liZtow it happened, but *lie seemed
extremely autions lest Churchyard should soiree in the
event of her d' nth. Erte then, in the presence of .its.
. Itodwell and jelly, told the story ut the quarrel in the
pantry, nearly to the above effect. She said that
,Cliuschyrosi had thrown the knife • : her, and abet it
pieced her side.
At this tithe the surgeon, \h.. Alexander 11. Bartlett,
had relieved, and he ; xamined the poor' *Oman, said,
although siOiering under great pain, preserved the ut-
mott compostiie and placidity. There was a transverse'
wound of about an inch in length, between the hip bone
• and the lower sibs, which perforated the c.:ar of 'the
stomach ; nut the great and mast times kable fact if
this melancholy ease remaitis to be disclosed. Search
was made for the inttru..terit aids whiclithe vsouncl• was
inflicted, but it was no where to be found—xll the knives
were examined. hut they exhibited no traces of bloods's-
other marks to justify the supposition that soy i f them
had been employed for the purpose.
Mr. Rods% ell, in the prrience of t' e surgeon, Mr
A. Irl Bartlett. Dr. Baird, and Mr .I.list 'lett, que*tioned
Churchyard, who did not dei.y that he had thrown the
knife at Elizabeth, but said that he was provoked by
her having taken another knife la the tray to strike
him with before he had d so ; he also. stated that he•
had only thrown the knife at her feet with the view of
frightening her, and Vithoin any intention of injuring
her. He solemnly declared that he did not conceal the
knife, nor could he give any account o; its disappear-
ance. .1 be deceased's wound had been dressed, but her
pun rapidly incte.sed, and she became weaker every
moment, until the next morning, when she expired,
having in the interval subscribed the following de-
claratiun:

4, Ipswich, 0et.19, ISt&

" In the event of my death from the Minty I have received last
ev g, I hereby solemnly declare that the wound was inflicted by
a knife thrown at me by Thomas Churchyard, and I do not believe
that he was actuated by any heling of mai ce or ill will towards
me, but that being acting under sudden provocation that I might
islatentionally have given. And I freely forsive him, as I hiope,
in Autumn Guy, to be st.ved tbrouga Jr.:us Cumin.

On the posthumous esa:ninttion of the body, Mr.
Bsrtlett found the Liiife in the•lower cavity of the sto-
mach, complex ly smbedded in blood. which had col-.
lected atomic' it. The orifice of t e wound
aP, and this accounts for the knife not being found be-
fore. for even the surgeons could not intag.ne that it
had passed through into the stomach. 'They 'llsote
opinion that death was occasioneJ Ly
produced by the wound,. and by the knife having re-
mained at long in the intestines.
A most respectable Jury were impanneled on tuts-
day, at the Bear and Crown, before J. L &intent)* and
S. U. JACIIMAS, Etqts. Co:utters for the Borough: A
great mass of evidence was given. of which the above
is the substance. The deceased's clothes were est&
bind. and it appeared that the knife had penetrated a
silk gown, stays, two pettico4ts, and the cberbise, all cf
which wete stained wi.h blood.
The Jury, atter consulting until a late hour on Tues.
day night, returned a verdict of • Nlaoslaughter against
Churchyard. who was committed to the Borougl► Gaol

the - - . _
on o Coroners. warrant.
The deceased was 33 years of age, and the prisoner
is 29. and is a mooted man, with a site and t‘scr
children living.

The Botnnuese implements for fishing are ingenious,

and then filed on a large stem of bamboo, at the ex-
