Atrocious Murder. — It devolves upon us to record one of the most atrocious murders that has ever stained the annals of the colony. It was perpetrated yesterday morning on an elderly female named Hoadley, residing in King Street, adjoining Mr. Hayden's, the auctioneer. The villain, it appears, effected an entrance into the house by removing a pane of glass; and, whilst his victim lay asleep, he with a coal hammer inflicted several deadly wounds on the skull, which he fractured in the most shocking manner. Some parties are taken up on suspicion ; and, as an inquest will be holden to-day on the body, we forbear till then entering into further particulars connected with this inhuman affair. — Australian, May 20.
