Murder. — A murder of three individuals by an assigned servant, which, for atrocity, exceeds anything that has ever occurred in the district, was committed last week, at the Mudgee River. The murderer is secured and safe in the gaol. The circumstances are as follows : — A man named John Nagle, an overseer to Mr. Kinlay, with his wife, inhabited a hut on the Mudgee River, on Mr. Kinlay's ground; the stock-keeper and the murderer, whose name is Bryan Flannigan, assigned to Mr. Kinlay, lived in another hut adjoining the overseer's. It seems, that Flanagan and Nagle had a quarrel on the day of the murder, but the difference was slight, and had blown over. The stockkeeper went to bed at his usual hour, and a little black boy slept with him. The overseer and his wife had also retired to rest. The stock-keeper soon slept, but the black boy lay awake, and he saw Flanigan seize an axe and approach the bed, on which, he jumped out and ran off, plunging Into the river to save himself. The stock keeper's scull (sic) was cloven in twain by the axe, the one half hanging in front, the other behind, and the brains scattered about the bed. He next proceeded to the overseer's hut, and according , to his own account, he continued striking at random, at the overseer and his wife, until he thought he had made sure work of it. The unhappy woman was within a few days of her confinement, and when the bodies were discovered, she retained her natural warmth, although the bodies of the men were cold and stiff. Nagle himself presented a dreadful spectacle ; he had three or four cuts on the head — one of his arms was literally chopped in two, as was also one of his legs. His poor wife had also about a dozen wounds on her head, legs, and stomach. In her death struggle, she had clasped her husband in her arms, and her fingers were buried in his back from the intensity of the agony. The wretch, after he had committed the murder, proceeded coolly to a woman who lived a short distance down the river, and who used to wash for him — he gave her his shirt and trousers besmeared with the blood of his victims, and desired her to wash them and give them to her husband. To her enquiry what he had been about, he said, 'They'll never come near you again — I've done the job for them.' He was taken about ten miles from where the murder was committed, laid in some weeds, and on his journey to Bathurst, communicated the particulars to troopers Sheedy and Graves, who took him.
