TILE MURDER AT ICIRKIIII.2II.  Since the coroner's inquest on Monday, in reference to the murder of Mr. Henry ltawcliffe, the landlord of the Swan Inn, Kirkham, near Preston, who was killed on Sunday night by a poker having been thrown at him, entering his right eye, and penetrating the brain, the police have succeeded in apprehending a man named Michael Kilbarn as an accessory to the murder. Yesterday he was brought before the Kirkham magistrates, with the other prisoners already in custody. The charges were—Against James Cain and Margaret Cain, attempts to rescue Martin Garatty from custody, and assaulting the police whilst in the execution of their duty ; against Patrick Cain, for the wilful murder of Henry Raweliffe ; and against Michael Kilbarn, as an accessory to the murder. The court was densely crowded during the inquiry. Patrick Cain was first placed in the dock. Mr. Leary, superintendent of police, after reminding the Bench that the prisoner had been remanded from Monday on a charge of murder, said that since then he had been making inquiries into the case. He had some evidence to place before the Bench; but at the same time he must tell the magistrates that the case against the prisoner Patrick Cain was not quite complete, and some other evidence might be obtained. He therefore asked for a remand. _ _ _  Evidence corroborative of the facts already published, as to the prisoners taking part in the assault on the police, and also as to Rawcliffe having been struck by the poker, having been adduced, Two or three persons, who witnessed the affray between the prisoners and the police, deposed that, after the crowd had left the front of Rawcliffe's house to follow Garratty, the man whom the police officers were conveying o the polic e-station, they saw three men come down the street. Two of the men turned off into a street a short distance from Rawcliffe's house. Before doing so, however, the third man, who was in his shirt sleeves, and who had a poker in his hand, struck a lamp-post with the poker, and swore he would " put the contents of the poker" through Sergeant Lofthouse. When he had said that he left the other man, went past Rawcliff's house, and was then seen to turn back, peep round the corder of Rawcliffe's house, and then hurl the poker through the club-room window. He then ran rapidly away, and the neighbour s, alarmed by the screams of itawcliffe's daughter, went into the house, and found Raweliffe in the state already described, namely, with a poker projecting from his light eye. The man who threw the poker was positively sworn to as the prisoner Patrick Cain.  The prisoner was remanded until Monday. Jas. Cain was committed to the sessions for trial for the assault on the police. His wife was discharged with a caution.—Blanchester Examiner.  A man named Treville has just committed suicide by hanging himself at Doudelainville (Somme), after having attempted to mui der a young woman named Lefevre, by stabbing her in the throat. It appears that he had long oe anr s on no hhaevre way yi t etdo pursued her with his attentions, which she had constantly rejected, and on the day of the crime he had threatened to murder her if she did not listen to his propositions, or if she ever bpelnotngbised toproanie:tthienrto* Hexeecag for her to church, as she was found on the roadside, near the village, lying in a POof of blood, Hopes are entertained of her recovery.
