HORRIBLE MURDER IN JERSEY A great deal of painful excitement was caused yesterday in the island in consequence of the discovery of a most horrible and revolting murder which was committed in St. Saviour's-road, on the person of Mary Carleton, a pensioner's wife. The murder was not discovered until about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. It appears that the husband of the deceased woman left his house about nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and locked the door after him, when some of the neighbours, finding that the house was not room,ows %p. aietsnh her wee narhs where, euhr gers ,suo through Igor, rohfrs oistbrehcldeee, dt and nori dpne open e‘etyl,ht etelhrysiehni nguot in neurphs of t unfortunate oenr hl hoe e lorwd woman awnAcceknnr, alarm was immediately given, and the woman's hus. band, upon whom suspicion seems to have fallen, and onetodougbato,l.walst tahpepemarusr,dferroemr, wwahso,arthreesrte ieds and to in what we can learn up to the present time, that the unfortunate man and his deceased wife were in the habit of living in constant discord together, so that even had their next door neighbours beard any noise it would not have been noticed. It seems that the unfortunate woman had returned from market on Saturday evening witha they were both in a state of intoxication, her little supplies for the Sun. day'sxdinner,io consisting of of a pig's head, vegetables, ct. o t as and supposed d hquarrel ensued which terminated in the horrible murder of the unfortunate woman. At six o'clock on Sunday evening the coroner and jury went to view the body of the deceased. We were admitted into the room, on entering which a namost painful sight presented itself, viz , the mutilated body of the murdered woman. She was on her back ; the left ear cut off, and only hanging by a small piece of flesh; almost the whole of it had been devoured by vermin. The flesh of the right eye, above and below, was completely scarified; and under the left side of the neck a wound had been inflicted large enough to admit a man's four fingers. It appears that the instrument with which the istal deed was committed was a rusty knife without a handle, found in the room. The unfortunate deceased has left a family of six children behind her—two sons in the army, two daughters in service, and two in the island. The husband denies having had any knowledge of the murder. He states that he heard a noise in the house, and upon going to see what was the matter he found his wife lying upon the floor in the dreadful situation described above. Up to the time of our going to press the jury were still sitting, and their verdict had not been given.—Jersey Sun, Oct. 28.
