Samoa.
A speedy way of settling a madman-
The schooner Mary Anderson has arrived, and reports that while on a labour cruise, and working round Cape Cumberland, %. Pentecost native named Paddy became mad, and killed two natives and wounded a Santa boy, and Charley, one of the ship's crew. Having vainly endeavored to secure him, as he was armed, and attempted the lives of those on board, one of the ship's crew, Peter Fabrlcus, a native, who had been to Queensland, took a rifle and shot him. An enquiry into the above affair took place at Apia, Samoa, before Mr Swanton, Deputy High Commissioner under the Order-in-Council, and the master and crew acquitted, the act being regarded as one of justifiable homicide.
