Last week P. GILLIN received a letter from San Francisco, Ca., containing the extract taken from the 'Post' of that city - Victoria, B.C., 3rd Dec.- Reports from Seimos state that on Saturday night a man named GILLIN, a foreman of a Chinese gang in the railroad works, was murdered by some of the gang, two of whom, it is reported, have left the work's service. Gillin was first shot and then his throat cut. He is said to have money in his tent which, no doubt, was the incentive to the crime.' - Mr. Gillin feared that the deceased was his brother, John GILLIN, who left Woodstock (Carleton Co.) some twenty years ago and who was known to be in British Columbia. He at once telegraphed Howard L. DEBECK, New Westminster, B.C. and promptly received the following reply: 'John GILLIN from Woodstock, found dead in tent, supposed murdered by Chinamen. Think your brother.' - John Gillin was unmarried, age 46, left Woodstock in March 1864.
