EXTRAORDINARY MURDER.

An extraordinary murder lately occurred in Cork. The victim was a young man named Brflphy, ' and tho accused bis own sister, both parties being very young. It appears the brother and sister resided in the north part of the city, and recently the police were informed by the sister that her brother was lying injured in their house, and appeared to have been ill-treated. The police discovered a shocking spectacle. On entering the house they saw a man lying in a pool of blood ; his head and body weie deeply scarred with wounds, »nd ; he lay unconscious. He was removed 'to the North Infirmary, and it was found on examination that the patient had fourteen wounds, inflicted apparently with a knife ; in the face were several deep, gashes, and the torigne was even slashed. A bloodstained knife was found on the premises, and there appeared to be evidence of a struggle. The sister could give no clear account of the affair, and the police think that she must have attacked her unfortunate brother, who was somewhat younger than she, while he was lying in bed, and inflicted these desperate wounds. For some days previous both had been quarrelling. The sister was brought before the magistrate and remanded. The injured man died in the hospital.
