ANOTHER MURDER

The frequent repetition OF scenes of out !.
rage and murder within the precincts of our
Borough is, not only alarming TO the peace
but dlsgraceiui to the character of the
piace.-Where shall We seek for the cause
of this abomination Not indeed in any pre-.
yalent disse mperature in the society of the
town, for we do offirm that, for morality
and good order, the citizens of Norfo k ges
morally, are not exceeded any where; but
in the iamentable inefhciency of our public
institutions TO check the influx of vice from
abroad,cr to hold il IN check after ir has
been unhappiiy introduced among us.-Lit,
HE Water street. the place where the SUD-
ssquent and nsoet ofhTr inurd<rs have beea
committed, is perpetual scene of every
description OF vice and beastiahty. Gam
blers, sharpers, and al other outcasts from
society, who are secuted frnm other places,
takeup temporary residence IN that sink
OF iniqulty. until, by the commission Of some
dreadful crime, they either fly, or remain
TO expiate their offences in the work. house.
the Borough Jail, the penitentiary, or ON the
gallows-Iheir Infamous proceedings are
to be sure, confined exclusively to that par
ticniar street, nor do one half of the inha.
oitants In other parts of the town, even
know OF the existence of such eDormnsu de-
pravity. But why doesi il exist at all. |? Il
is CROUCH that the laws both of God aid
man are constantly and shamefully viola
&C, even though the fact be not generally
known, and the consequences limi.ed.
On Tuesday night last be;ws en- the hours OF

Scott, the keeper Of a tipping shop in that
street The Watchmen on entering the house,
found Scott Frustrated IN the floor, behind his
counter, and lifeless few steps from him lay
his Wife, alive indeed, but severely stabbed and
bleeding profusely. The account she gave was
as follows /: two young men, in the habit of
frequenting the house, whose names are VIII
liam Hackett and James Rose. were in the shop
alone with her husband, and the doors closed.
when she retired to rest some short time be,
fore the murder took place; hearing noise
IN the thoP, she vert down with candle to
know the cause, when she beheld the same
men, with her husbands pocket-book, and her
husband lying welteriDg in his blood, Rose i'm
media,ely seized her by the throat, while Hac.
kett, with dagger gave her several stabs in
the neck and back, but in consequence of her
shrieks and cries, they made off without COM
pletng their diabolicai work, and in their hur-
ry, left the pocket book containing some hun.
reds Of dollars behind them. This statement
she also gave upon oath, to the examining Ma
gistrate, and TO the inquest summoned on her
ausbaod Both Hackett snd Rose were soon
appreheDded, and the evidence against them
being sufficiently clear, they we're committe ed
TO Jail. The woman is still alive, tho her re-
coyery is doubtful.
