THE MURDER BY A CHINAMAN.
SYDNEY, August 2. At the inquest on the body of Morris, murdered at Blacktown, the medical evidence showed that it was impossible for the murderer to have returned to the hut, after the injuries he received, without leaving any trace whatever on, the ground. Two Chinese visited Ling Loong shortly before the murder. He then appeared to be in delirium, and said Ah Sin told him to *' kill the boss." It is believed the object of the murder was plunder, and that Loong, being unsuccessful in his endeavours to obtain money, the others attacked him. RECOMMENDED TO MERCY. The prisoner Hewatt, who committed a terrible outrage in a police cell, in June, on another prisoner named Parke3, has been sentenced to death. The Jury recommended him to mercy. A BODY IDENTIFIED. SYDNEY, August S. In June last, a man was accidentally killed at Parramatta, and up to the present it has been impossible to identify the body. It is now ascertained that the deceased was Archibald Barr, a native of Otago. SHIPPING. Sailed — Wairarapa, for Auckland.
