Transcribed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Carlisle Patriot Friday, February 13, 1880 Murder under Delusion. Richard McGUIRE was charged with the wilful murder of Catherine KIERMAN, at Great Crosby, on January 3. Mr. McCONNELL prosecuted; Mr. SHEE, at the request of his lordship, defended the prisoner. The prisoner, who was 64 years old, living with his daughter, Mrs. KIERMAN, the mother of the child which was killed, and was admitted to have been very fond of and kind to it. On the morning of the day in question he said to his daughter that she had better take care of the child, as he had been dreaming that he had buried it with his wife. This warning was not attended to, and that evening he took it away and put it in a ditch, where its body was found two or three days after. His account given to a neighbour was, "Such a thing has happened as never was in this world before. I have been christening a child this afternoon, and about three o'clock I was sitting with it on my lap, and some one took it from me." When asked who took it he said, "How should I know; the good people, I suppose.
