Murder.—A man by the name of Hugh Curry, was yesterday morning committed to prison, charged with the murder of his wife, Mary Curry. It appears that about two weeks since, Curry returned home to his house No. 219 William-street, when a quarrel between himself and wife took place. After beating his wife, Curry threw a teapot at her head, which wounded her severely near the eye, and caused an inflammation, of which she died. A woman who lived in the same house has also been arrested, charged with being an accomplice. The Coroner's Inquest which sat on the deceased's body, returned a verdict of murder, 'having come to her death by reason of violent blows inflicted on the head by her husband, Hugh Curry.'
