We learn from Halifax Chronicle that Monday at Preston, John ROGERS age 11 and William LEE age 14 were returning from school when a dispute arose from some trifling circumstance upon which ROGERS, a mulatto, stabbed LEE in the left breast which penetrated the heart and caused instant death. A verdict of manslaughter was brought against the murderer who was brought to Halifax.
