(Received January 24, 1.10 a.m.)
MELBOURNE.
Wednesday,
Inquiries which have been made into the circumstances under which the murders of Beach and his wife were committed near Geelong yesterday have led to the belief that the crime was committed from motives of revenge and not for plunder. Black trackers have been employed to trace the criminals, but no arrests have yet been made.-' At tho wool sales this week Messrs Goldsbrough and Co., sold 17,000 bales. Prices continue firm. Superior to good averago greasy wool brought from 6d to 11| and scoured to 2 Id. (Received January 24, at 1 p.m.) This day. Some clue, it is believed, has been obtained in connection with the murder recently committed near Geelong. The police have found a revolver in a pond near the scene of the outrage, and also a bullet, ■which it has been proved was purchased in Geelong a fortnight ago. Nearly four inches of rain have fallen in Melbourne since Sunday last. The fall is quite unprecedented.
