DEATH OF A MURDERER.

   Kenninghall Workhouse, Suffolk, where an inmate was killed about twelve months ago, has again been the scene of a fatal quarrel, the victim in this case being a man names John Mickleburgh, who thirty-five years ago was sentenced to death for the murder of a girl at Thrandeston Fair. Mickleburgh was an inmate of the sick ward, and among the attendants was a pauper named John Revell Burrows. A quarrel took place between them about a week ago, and Mickleburgh, who was severely beaten, died on Thursday. After Mickleburgh’s conviction for murder he was reprieved.
