MURDER AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—We gave last
week some particulars of a distressing affair at, Durham.
We stated that Mr. Goole, the superintendent of police
at Dutham, had shot at his wife and made a violent at-
tack on Mr. Scruton, the Deputy•clerk of the Peace.
(of whom he was jealous, as the witness stated,) and
afterwards attempted to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with a penknife. The woman died on Mon-
day, and at the inquest a verdict of manslaughter
was returned against her husband. It appears that some
time since Gould was wounded in the bead, and ever
since has been of a very jealous disposition, though there
does not appear to have been the slightest ground fur his
suspicion.

Three travelling potters have been committed to Nor-

the highway nf-ar Stamford. They belonged to one of
those gangs of traveling potters who trarerse many parts
