Our readers will remember to have seen some time since, the melancholy account of a murder committed on board a small vessel in Morris river by a villain who called himself Brown. A letter from Bridgetown, under date of Wednesday last, mentions that his trial came on at that place the preceding Friday, and that he had been found guilty, after a patient hearing by an upright Jury. The next day was fixed upon for pronouncing sentence; but during that night the unfortunate wretch found means to hang himself.
