Immediately repaired to the place, and found the re.
port true the floor Of the premises lay the dead
body of Mrs Malloy, and weeping by her side were
two young children. The deceased presented the
appearance Of having been beaten oVeT the head and
body with some heavy instrument On her neck
were marks Of violence, probably caused BY the
hands of Malloy, who II is supposed had choked her
after the beating in order to make Of his pur-
pose. He is said to be somewhat dissIpated in his
