THURSDAY, May 24th.
State VS.. James Michigan, indicted for the
murder of his brother, Bernard McGuigan, on
the 18th of March last st. Patricks day,) near
Mount Washington, Baltimore county. Tried
before the Court. From the evidence in this
cause it appears that a difficulty occurred be-
tween the two brothers on the same day the oc-
currence took place, and previous to il, about a
young lady-the prisoner, who is q married man,
Directing to his brother, who was single man,
visiting her. No one was present at the time OF
the occurrence, which took place at the prisoner
house, but the prisoner and his wife, and the de-
ceased man. A considerable quantity Of blood
was found on the wall of the room in which Ber-
nard Michigan was killed, and upon the floor
of the room. After the prisoner was arrested by
the constable, he was met on the steps of the
house by his mother, whom he embraced and
who embraced him, and the prisoner said to her
that he was sorry for his poor brother, but was
not sorry for himself The risoner and his
brother had always been friendly and affection
ate, it seems, up to the day of the occurrence,
and both, it appears, were then under the intu-
ence of liquor. The prisoner said to the consta-
BILE who arrested him, " killed Barney" and
when asked by him why he did it, said, +" !
don't know Held sub curia. II. w. Dough-
