With such cruelty and violence, that the victim shortly expired.,
Bosh mister and man will be brought to trial.
The following case of horrid and unprovoked murder will
coati en for trial next Session of the Calcutta Court of Circuit :
Hubboo Meer, a Mahometan Ryol, bad.a quarrel with another
boy, nearly of his own age (eighteen) son of one Nayan Pal ;
blows ensued, and the latter was severely beaten. He com-
plained at the once of the Zumeenda ; and it appearing, on In-
vestigation, that young Hubboo Meer was in the wrong,ite was
dealt with according to the mildest punishment, that of pulling
hie ears. Irritated at this indignity, the revengeful youth swore
to be avenged on some of the family. Soon after, observing a
younger son of Nayan Pal, a boy of IS years of age, feeding his
father's cattle on the plain adjoining the village, he slily moved up
behind bins, and, baring pulled forth an axe, previously conceited
foe the purpose under his cloth, hit him unawares a violent Mow
on the neck. This having brought him to .the ground,the wretch
laid hold of him firmly until he had chopped his head Inins his
body. Having thrown the head into a ditch, be hid binvelf,
under the roof of a house, where, however, he did not long re-
main concealed; for some boys having from a distance seen him
perpetrate the deed, gave information to the parents of the den
ceased, who forthwith dragged hint from his hiding place.
We are about to record a revolting crime, almost surpassing,
is unnatural cruelty, the blackest transactions of the human Ithrr.
It occurred on the i tab October, at-Kidderpore, in the person of
ardendernatt's Rliiiimutgar. This man, having received instruc-
tions front his master to make ready, to go up the country, went
to the house of his father-in law, and ordered his wile to prepare
herself to leave Calcutta. The woman urged she was at present
comfortably situate under the protection of her lather and mother,
and that she could nut think of quitting her present place of
abode, without a prospect of being elsewhere comfortably seated.
the husband insisted upon unconditional compliance; and, on her
refusal to obey him, he seized an axe and an English table knife,
and having struck tier a desperate blow across the had with the
hatchet, stabbed her in several places with the knife ; alter which,
he Sew to the mother of the unhappy woman, and wounded her
in the same inhuman manner. His bloody purposes were bat
too well fulfilled, for the unhappy victims of his brutal rage died
almost immediately. His wile expired while her wounds were
sewing up, and her mother only lived long enough to declare that
her son-in-law was the perpetrator of the deed. He was instantly
secured, and handed over to the proper officer, to take his trial
at the Sessions of the following Circuit. Eureeboolah, the tuuto
deter, was afterwards tried and banged, without *hewing the least
signs of repentance.
