A correspondent writing from Woodstock under date 24th inst. informs us of a murder committed some two years ago at Munquart Settlement, Kent Parish. It appears that a party of eight men were on their way home from an election, and among them, Thomas HOLLAND, an Englishman and a discharged soldier. They requested HOLLAND to sing, and on his refusing, they ill treated him in the most shocking manner and finally murdered him. A man looking for his cows found the remains in the woods and the murderers have since been discovered. The Sheriff with a strong force left Woodstock to make arrests and Deputy HAMMOND has gone to arrest two of the party named COX and GILMAN now in Aroostock. Another correspondent sent us the following information - Peter and James GEE, James DEMERCHANT and Wm COX, arrested (see original) (see 1810, 1818)
