MURDERS AND ATTEMPTS TO MURDER . Unfortunately , familiar as the public have become with details of murders which have taken place in various parts of the country , we have this week the ; painful task of recording events of tho kind , which , from their extraordinary character , and from the appalling singularity of the circumstances connected , are almost without a iwiHel in tbe records of crime , Parkoatb , nbab Rothkriiam . —An honegt and indimrious woman , nannid Jaagor , wile of a mechanic , who , from ill health , has for nearly two year ' past been unable to follow his trade , and who the r efore kept a small shoo on Masborouah Common , as a means of livelihood , was pro : eedini » towards
Parkvate , on some matter connected with the details of herniisbind ' 8 small business , when , without a moment ' s warnitm , -h «> was attacked b ) a monster , who iK-iiit f under the influence of some fearful hallucination produced by liquor , put a periol to her existence , by cutting her throat with a pocket-knife upon the turnpike-road . The murderer is Samuel Linley , a joiner , workine for Messrs Scholfield and Co ., at the Parkaate Works , where he has boeii employed for some months . Ho is a man of very drunken habits , and ab ^ ut a month or two ago was suffering under ¦ delirium tremens , for which h « was successfully treated by Mr Wilkinson , of Rotheiham . Almut ell-veil o ' clock in the forenoon , a female named Turner , whose husband keeps the toll-bar before-named ,
saw ; Linley come out of the yard of a tailor named Abson , wlierp he lodges , and go down the road leading towards Rotherbam ; he wns quite sober to all appearance , but as she observed a certain wildness in hw looks , and knew that ho was subject to fits , and had moreover Ik ard that he had had one that morninu , she wa » induced to follow him . He took the fontpath which is-upon the riaht side of the- road , and at that time Mrs Jaater was coming in a contrary directinn along the middle of ihe road , by herself . When they weio nearly opposite Mr Oxley ' s upper gates , Linley deliberately went up to her and knocked her down by a b ! o » on the back part of the head . Seeing this singular attack . Mrs Tu rner made an alarm , which was heard by Joshua Hewardof Rotherham
, , labourer , who happened to be crossing the Four-laneends at the time . He directl y ran down the road towards Rotherham , and Raw Linley beating Mrs Ja ? . ncr nbuut the head , he being then between one and two hundred yards from them . He hastened towards them , and on his way heard Mrs Jagger scream out . Ue saw Linley knock down the unfortunate woman , then s'ide upon hu knees and get her shoulders between his kneea . When Heward was about ten yards from them ho saw Linley pull a knife from his pocket , on which he called nut to him to' be . quiet , and asked him what he was going to do ? Linlt-y exclaimed , V Oil , damn her , " and cut at the right side of her neck ayeral times . On getting up to Linley , Howard seized him bv ihe arm . Assistanro
oming up , Linley was secured , and the knife taken Irom him . rise wound before nWibed was found in Mrs Jiggers neck , nnd , to use the words of a bvstander , the blood poured from the wound like water fvomapump . 'I lie carotid artery and the jucular vein had buth heen completely separated , and as may be easily imagined , death ensued in the course of two or three minutes The first exuressions which LinJey made use of were to the eff-ct , that he hoped God would 'orgive hi : n . On bi-ing asked why he had committed such a crime , he aaid he did not know , lie repeatedly said he had made aj « bof it . and that drink had done it . On being asked if he was drunk then , lie repliod that he was not . nnd said he had only had a little peppermint that morninj ; . We understand that subsequently he stated , that he
thought the woman was the devil , nnd that lie determined to make an end of him . The mnrdeier is a middle-sized man , with nmhine very particular in his appcaranec lie 3 eein » to be between 50 and 60 years of use . The knife alluded to was an ordinan buek-handli'd p .. cket-knife , and the blade with which he deprived the unpffendins woman of life is about three or four inches in length . On his reaching the aaol he bwame more violent . He was there aeen by Mr Bland , thp high constable , whom he seized by the tsiroat . and who had great difficulty in getting clour trom him . lie was in such a state that it was considered unsafe to leave him alone , and he was according constantly watched . An inquest was held , and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilfal murder usiainst Samuel Linley , " and a warrant for hia committal to York Castle was signed by the coroner .

The name of the woman is Elizabeth Jnck » on , and herdaughter and son-in-. ' aw , Thomas lloylo , lived withicr . nt No . 43 Caton-strest , Hulme . J * ekson is a married wjman , but separated from her Husband . She slept in the same room with her sonin law and daughter , and at an early hour went to the beside oi the young couple , who have only been married nine months , and leaning over tho body of the daughter , with a laigc table knife cut the throat of Royle , who lay next to the w «|| , and who , as well aa his wife , was fast asleep . Fortunately the knife
was not vc > y sharp , and the young man was awoke by its passing across his throat before a sufficiently deep incision had been effucted to prove fatal . He put out his hand to save himself , when theend of one of his fin-iora wa 3 nearly cut off , and he then sprang out of bed , and ran into an adjoining houBe for help . Ellen Tuompsou stated that she livtd at 55 . Clareuilon-strcet . She said Royle ( the prosecutor ) came running to their door , and asked if they could find a lolicuman ? He was blei-dins pvofusely from a wound in the neck , and stated that his mother-in-law had been attempting to cut hit throat . William Court , a police officer , stated that lie was called in by the la&t witness , und went to the prisoner ' s house , when ho found her sitting by the Iwtaide . Ue told her
what she was charged with and took her into custody . Sim accompanied him willingly , merely observing , " Very well , take your time , ami I'll c > mc with you . " Sijpenntfcntk'Kt Taylor said when lie saw the prisoner he cautioned her of the \ ue that mii'ht be made of any confession , and then asked if she had any voluntary s'atcmi-ntahe wished to make . She answereil , "I hardly know what I'm doing , I ' m sure , foriill sides ; for he only wants to get my property from me . and won't wait till my death . " Tbe luiiie produced in court was very blunt , but of large size , Hnd the wound inflicted on Royle ' s throat wag from mo to three inches in length , " but not very deep . I ho surpeon , Mr J .

" ( Cries of Shame . ) The S ? cretary said he believed they had all read the morning papers of the pa « t w * ek . on the death of Mr O'Comiell ; hethotisht . they shon'd hear what the Dispatch h « d to say .

After some further- dj « .
Mission the meeting decided on the article leing road . After the rending , Mr Dwain said , though tlieir object wa < harmony and eood-will amongst , all mankind yp . t ho was glad to s ^ e opposite opinions and principles flash , in orner ihat by disoustiontliey miiiht nifttho truth from the falsehood . Th « writer of the article was the Rev Mr Fnx , wlio wa ^ a different chsracter to the lute Pnnlicola . The readinirofsuch articles had a tendency to soften down their ferl ^ gg and prejudices , and exercise the mind and judgment in pursuit of truth , lie approved of much that was said in that article , though he did not agree with nil . The Irish landlord wns an example to ihe human family that ought to he avoided , they fame ovpr to England and managed their estates , telling the
English gentleman , that the Irishmen . were such an uncultivated race of pronie that they could make no hand of them ; but the English sentlemen were beeming to find the Irish landlords out , and de-w ' spd them accordingly , as being the real authors ot Ireland ' s misfortunes . Thanks to Henry Hunt . Cobbet , Duncombe , Fearatia O'Connor , and such wen , they had hrouuht about a better feeling , and the KationaA Charter oi" Ireland could yet shine forth in all its solendmii " , in spite of desicniii » knaveo . Mr E . M'Carthy said , the press wan now laudinj : O'Connell , but O'Connell had taught them a lesion about tin ? pres 3 ot this coun t ry . The ti : ne was come for Irishmen to combine , for , he believed , there was a crisis at band that would clevato Ireland to her
proper position or throw her back for ages . It wag necessary to take a Nson from the post and not depend upon mere wtmU , but rely upon their own exvr ^ tions . He was no advocate for physical force ; hufc in a country like Ireland , peace to her was more dreadful thin any blow that could be 8 'flick with tho sword . Talk of black slavery ! were the blackl ever « cen crawling down to the sea shore to satisfy the cravings of nature with the weeds of the ocean ? Mr Martin next addressed the meeting . O'Connell was dead the papers had said he left a blank , and asked , who would till it up ? he hoped no one wnuld fill it up but the people themselves . ( Cheers ) Let tho people act up snrh rneetincs as Miileuh ' mut and tho blsnk won d be l . llcd up . He had read that
