MURDER IN GLASGOW.--1---t is our painful duty to-day to record an atrocious case of murder, which was perpetrated in the Bridgegate on Saturday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock. The victim was an elderly man, named David Love, a weaver, residing in Tureen-street, Calton, and the circumstances under which he was murdered, were as follow :—Shortly after eleven o'clock it appears Love and another individual, whose name we have not learned, went into an eating-house, Pigs' Feet Tavern, in the Goosedubbs, kept by a person named Daly, and called for a small quantity of victuals. Previous to their being consumed, however, the reckoning, amounting to 6d. was demanded, and it turned out that neither Love nor his companion, owing .to some misunderstanding, had any money. This gave rise to some altercation between them and the people of the house ; but so far as we have ascertained, it consisted principally of abusive language on the part of Mrs. Daly and her servant, a girl named Cassidy, on account of their having been put to the trouble of setting down food to individuals who had nothing to pay far it. Ultimately the watchman being sent for, or hearing the noise, went into Daly's ; but after this there was no disturbance, as Love and his companion went away peaceably, seemin*ly satisfied to escape from the disagreeable position in which they were placed. They had only proceeded a short distance along the Bridgegate, when Love was knocked down from behind by a blow on the back of the head. This blow there is no doubt was inflicted by Daly, he having been seen to do it by several persons who were close by at the time ; and the result was that Love literally died on the spot.
