FEARFUL MURDER IN QUEEN'S COUNTY. Clonasee, Monday. On Sunday evening a terrible crime was committed in this town. Edward SCULLY, a carpenter, residing here, has, it is alleged, killed his son by stabbing him either with a knife or chisel. On Sunday evening son brought into the father's house, where the (sic) both resided, some man to play cards with him. The father, having an objection to the game being played between his son and the visitor, ordered them to desist, and the result of an altercation was that the son and visitor left the house. After remaining out some time, during which the son drank in a public-house, he returned home. A row ensued between the father and son, which was speedily terminated by the latter being left a corpse on the ground from a stab inflicted by his parent. The unfortunate man was immediately placed under arrest, and the police from the surrounding stations apprised of the occurrence. The wound was inflicted in the upper portion of the thigh, and death resulted from the severing of an artery. As hitherto the prisoner and his deceased son bore an excellent character in the district, and lived on amicable terms together, the tragedy has caused a feeling of horror, mingled with commiseration, in the town and district. The deceased was unmarried, and 23 years of age. The prisoner is 56 years of age. On Monday an inquest was held at Clonasee on the body of James SCULLY, by Mr. William CLARKE, coroner, when, after some three hours' deliberation, the jury returned a verdict as follows:- "We find that the deceased, James Scully, came by his death at Clonasee, on Sunday, the 29th of October, 1876, from excessive hemorrhage, caused by a wound inflicted on him by his father, Edward Scully." At the conclusion of the inquest, the prisoner, who had for some time previously been in custody, was brought before Captain J. P. DUNNE, J.P. He seemed to be much affected and painfully conscious of the position in which he stood. He was committed for trial to the next assizes, and on last night lodged in the county prison at Maryborough.
