DOUBLE MURDER AT GRIFFINToWN.-On Sat"
ulday, about IL o'clock at night, murder OF
fearful nature occurred at Grifhntown, near the
premises of MIR. Gault. The victims were two
lrishmen, named Pat McShane and Luther Ro-
berts, both butchers and cattle ]obbers, and as
far as at present can be asceriained. men against
whom no one had any quarrel. They were re-
turning Quietly their homes, and were passing
near St. AIMS church, when they were encoun-

death. All they could tell was, that the party
was stout man. in a light dress. Roberts was
about 33 years of age, and McShane aboi& a.;
both were married men, with families.


The police having received some information
which directed their suspicious toward man
named Carroll, Immediately set about his ap-
Iprehension and Sergeant Mccormack, with q
degree of zeal which does him great credit, and
also shows the highly efficient state of the force,
succeeded in arresting him on Monday morning
at o'clock-only few hours after the crime
had be committed. 1t will be seen by the
|evidence on the inquest, that he has made con-
fession of his guilt; though we do not know
whether it will be held sufficient to secure his
conviction in point of law It may be interest
ing to mention that Carroll is the same man who
was recently convicted of an entirely unproyok-
ed attack upon man named Donelly, whom he
stabbed no less than eighteen times with kpife
lin the shoulders and back part of the neck. At
that time in consideration of long imprison-
tment previous to his trial, he was allowed to es-
cape with very light punishment indeed.
