HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF THE ENGINEER OF THE S.S. “QUEEN.”
The hilarity that pervaded the city on Monday evening in consequence of the arrival of the “AllEngland Eleven,” was damped in a great measure by the intelligence of the death of a human being under very mysterous circumstances, ane the suspicion that the deceased had come by iiis death by a cruel and foul murder. The London Hotel, Jetty-street, (where the body had been placed for for identification), was crowded by anxious spectators numbers viewing the body in the dread of discovering in the features of the deceased some friend or acquaintance. All anxiety with regard to the matter was at length sot at rest by the deceased being recognised as being one John Craig, chief of the Steamship Queen, which lately arrived at Port Chalmers, and had again started for the Northern Ports on Monday. As no doubt had been entertained in the minds of those who viewed the body, that the deceased had been willfully murdered, great anxiety was manifested.
