a little after ten at night, intending to go

the deceased. On their arrival upon the iron
the New River, they observed the marks of
tootsteps which were very deeply impressed in
ad, and there were appearances of persons
struggled near the edge of the River. Upon
inquiry, they learned that the house of a'
Gentleman near the Wood was attacked by three
men on the Thursday night, but pie family fortu-

murder, the 'sound of which appeared to proceed
from near the iron bridge over the New River. The
