20th. ‘Vhis evening a horrid mur- 
der was committed in Greenwich 
hospital, by J. innis, a pensioner, 
upon J. Price, another pensioner.— 
The perpetrator had been guilty of 
a breach of duty in the college ; for 
which, on the charge of a fellow- 
pensioner, he was deprived of two 
months’ pocket-money, and repri- 
manded. LExasperated at this cir- 
cumstance, he went into the apart- 
ment of the deceased, and with a 
poker beat out his brains at a single 
blow. ‘The murderer then examined 
the next room, where an old pen- 
sioner lay, intending he should share 
a similar fate, if he appeared awake, 
lest he might have heard what had 
passed. ‘he man had heard the 
blow, but pretending to be asleep, 
the murderer left him, and retired to 
his own cabin: the man got up, 
alarmed the guard, and secured him. 
The evidence on his trial was deci- 
sive; and on Saturday, March 26, 
he was executed on Pennenden heath. 
The prisoner was brutal in his man- 
ner, and but little affected by his 
sentence.
