1 1 \RO A ROT QUIGLE V CO NVICTEU OF MANSLAUGHTER (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) (PEOM OUIt OWN COHBESPONDENT.) Hokitika, Wednesday. A horrible murder was committed in Christchurch on Monday afternoon. Cedeno, a native of Panama and buttler to Mr llobinson, station master, stabbed two of his female fellow-serv-ants. It appears that the girls were only chaffing Cedeno about his intended marriage. Margaret Bourke was stabbed to the heart, dying immediately, and the other girl, Mary G-lynn was wounded in several places, but survives. At the Supreme Court, Hokitika, yesterday, Margaret Quigley, a girl of twenty, charged with the murder of a miner, named George Patenaude, at Noble's, was found guilty of manslaughter after long consideration by the jury. The prisoner was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. Another murder case, against David Souter, is now going on. Anthony Noble has been brought before the Eesideut Magistrate's Court, and is committed for trial on a charge of rape and murder.
