Coroner, on the bodies of Thomas ilonrard Griffiths, Esq., aged 60; and- Abel Griffiths, his son, aged 22, who came by their deaths under the following dreadful eircamstinces The jury being sworn, proceeded to take a view of the bodies, which lay at their house, No. 4, Maddox street. , The bodies of the slecea , A lay in the drawing room, and presented a most awful spectacle. The floor of the apartment was covered with blood ; the father lay prostrate on his hick in one corner of the room, and the son was lying about seven yards from him. They re sembled each other very much, and the greatest interest was excited on the occasion. Crowds of persons assembled round the house and jury house. On the return of the jury to the Green Dragon, Mr. Hunter Nicholson, assistant to Mr. King of Conduit street, surgeon, being sworn, said, that be was sent for at half-past 12 o'clock yesterday afteimoon. A person called in great haste saying that a gentleman bad shot himself. Ile went immediately, and arrived at the house five minutes after the circumstance had taken place. Witnesss was shown into the drawing room on the first floor, where he found the two bodies, one near the door and the other near the fireplace. The father was dead, but the son was not quite so, but insensible. lie died in five minutes after his arrival. Both the deceased had their clothes on. On examining the head of the elder deceased, he found a wound proceeding from a pistol ballond a large quantity of blood had flowed there from, and witness had no doubt hut this caused his death. There were no other marks of violence on his person. The body of the deceased Mr. Griffiths, jun., lay near the fire-place. lie found a wound on the right temple, evidently from a pistol ball. which had entered the brain. The brains of the deceased were scattered. about the carpet. This wound, in witness's opinion, was the cause of his death. There were two small pistols in the room—one on the table, and the other on the tlosr. There was a discolouration on the fore finger of the right hand of 51r. Griffiths, jun., which causes witness to be lieve he fired off the pistols. The hands of the other de ceased were perfectly clean. lie had his gioves on, and his umbrella and hat lay close by him, as if he was on the point of leaving the roam when shot. .1. Heaviside, Esq., sworn, corroborated the testimony of the above witness. William Wade, a min of colour, being sworn, said, that he was servant to the deceased, Mr. Griffiths, sea., whose son occasionally visited the house. ifs family resides at Southampton. He called five or six times late ly at the house No. 4, Maddox-stree', Hanover square, where his father lodged when in town. The deceased, Mr. Abel Griffiths, was studying for the law, and resided ia.Tetuple-lane ; his father did not usually see him when he made his visits. lie did not seen him the second visit he made ; when he first called, his father was not at home. lfe saw him the second time be called ; witness, on opening the door, went up stairs and informed the father that his son was below. He gave orders fur him to walk up stairs. They were not on friendly terms ; the deceased is not.tbe only sou ; there are brothers, and his mothe& is living.. The fourth call she deceased son made, he left his card for his father, and left the place. He call again on Saturday last. Had you any reason to believe they were not on friend. ly terms ? Witness.—Yes. The father had told me to deny him when his sun called. On one oaasion when he called, he requested to have an interview with his father ; and on witness answering him, be was req•ieste 1 to walk up to the drawing loons, but witness could not tell what transpired between them. The last time lie called was yesterday noon about half-past twelve o'clock, when wit ness was up stairs, He was informed by , a boy in the house that a young gentleman was below, who was de sirous of seeing Isis (witness's) master. Witness went down stal{s, and saw Mr. Abel Griffiths standing in the passage. He had his arms folded, and appeared melan choly and dejected. He said be wanted to see his fa ther, and asked if be was at home; witness answered " that lie was," on which the deceased asked, " might be go up stairs ?" 'Witness said '• no ;" he would go, and he accordingly proceeded np stairs, and informed the fa ther, who consented to see him. Witness conducted him into the.drawing room, on which he bowed to Isis father, who returned it. The father was going out at the time, and hail previously announced his intention of do ing so to witness. They remained in the room shout 20 minutes ; they at first spoke very low : witness heard the father say to his son, " that he knew very well what would be the end of it ; he (the son) would not feel sa tisfied, until a gaol had picked his up." He also said, "I allowed you a certain sum of money, and that would hit's kept you very well. You ought to have stayed where you was." He did not hear the deceased repeat the spec.:fied sum which he allowed him—nor did he know where his father wished him to have remained.— )Vitness also beard the father say to his sun, " I must go out." Coroner—Did you hear the son threaten him?—l did not. Juryman—Were there ever any letters received at the house Irons the deceased youth? Witness could only speak to one, the cements of which he knew nothing ahotit. His mast♦r appeared vexed with his son while in the room. They bad not been there dung when wit ness heard the reportbf a pistol. He went to ascertain the cause, and a lady of the house was near the door: they shortly after beard the report of a second pistol , and on opening the door, they saw the old . gentleman lying out the door, and bleeding very much: Do you think your master was shot by his son, the de-1 Based.?—l suspect so. A getidecianliere suggested that evidence ought to be: produsced relative to the son's state of mind. de bad ! chambers at Mr. Stwerd's, No. 5, Temple-lane, who, no doubt, could give evidence to that effect. The eldest de reaard ass a planter at Barbados's. Mary Knight, who lino in the s a me house, and Sarah Gould, servant to the deceased Mr. Urithths, len., corro borated the testimony givee above. The Coroner, us order to rive time for the produe tion of further evidence, edjourned,the inquest until fourfi o'clock this days .IMPFAIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS—Mososx. Tie Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice of his intention to move next Thursday that the Report of the Committee oet the appellant jursdiction of the House, which was then be fore their Lordships, be takes Into consideration. Oa his Lordship's motion the House was ordered to be summoned for that day. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition from several Merchants and Manufacturers in London. in favour of the Bill for regulating the Linen Trade in Scotland. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented two petitions from the Farmers of Fifeshire, in favour of the Bill. Ills Lordship then moved that the. Committee on this Bill be postponed to Wednesday.—Ordered. AI ARRIAGES. On the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Marriage Regulation Bill, The Earl of W EgTNIORELAND said he did not alt:.- gether approve of the principle of the measure; but he par,- ticulnrly objected to that clause in the Bill which related to the forfeiture of property. and the proceeding which was to take place in the Coen of Chancery for that purpose. The garl of LIVERPOOL observed that this part of the' Bill went only to affect marriages contracted by minor., over which the canon law had already a controul. His opinion was, that marriages, after having been once con tracted, should never bo dissolved at the sill of the parties. or the suit of their relations ; but when parties look a fslso oat). previous to the contracting of marriages, he thought they should not have any powerover the properly that might be claimed in consequence of the marriage. This was the sole object of the clause in question. The marriage was not to be dissolved ; but the offending party was not to get possession of the property. ,The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Court of Chan cery had to do in the business would be to settle the disposi-' lion of the property. • The Bill was then agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed. BEER BILL. The Marquess of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the Ale and Table Beer Brewers against this Mill, as one which would be ruinous to their trade.—Ordtred L.) lie on the table. • IRISH GRAND JURIES. On the third reading of the Irish Grand Juries' Present ments Bill. The Earl of DONOUGIIMORE moved that a clause to put the Clerks of the Peace and the Clerks of the Crown in, Ireland on the same footing with regard to Fees sad Emolu ments, be inserted. Tile Marquess of LANSDOWNE said he was ready to.en. cede to this amendment, which was agreed to. Ilia bled ship proposed some other tunindiumAs, which wereagreml to. Tae Bit then prised. LINEN TRADE IN SCOTLAND. The Scotch Linen Bill was committed. The Duke of ATHOL opposed thfIPB:ll as being very i jurious to the small manufacturers, although it mig!it pro mote the interests of the great capitalists of Scotla n d. The Earl of ItOSSLYN supported the Bill, the principal object of which, he s'id, was to do away with ! the s ampint of linen in Scotland. lie saw no reasou wl • the Scotch manteneturer shuuld pay a tax u hich .• the English manufacturer was not required to pay. The tax was utterly useless as to any purpose of security. and its only object was to put money into the pocket of the person employed in stamping the linen. The Duke of AVID!, contended that this Bill wanid drive the little manufacturers out of the market. The Earl of LAUDEKDALE said there wis no an ;b. rlaes of peopt• u ,w in existence, as those little msna facterers alluded to by the Noble Duke, and if lar2e capitalists entered into the trade, it w4s the most fortu nate thing that could happen fur Scotland, because that would be the sure means of giving permanent employ ment to the labouring classes in that country. The pro posed regulation went to prevent the injuries arls'nr . , from the improper bleaching of linen, and could not in terfere with the interests of any set of manufacturers.— A useless restraint had fallen very heavily on the trade, and from that restraint this Bill went to relieve it. The Duke of ATHOL again contended that this Bill . would affect numerous small manufacturers. The Bill then went through the Committee Without . any amendments, and was reported. . . Tile Vessels Registry Bill was committed and reported Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY. SLAVERY. Lord LOWTHER presented a petition from the habitants of •peer, in Cumberland, praying for the. abo lition of Slaverv.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. KENNEDY moved for a,y of the Report of the Select Committee of the HutEr of Lords on the ap pellant jurisdiction of the /louse of Lords.—Agreld to. Mr. KENNEDY moved the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the Scotch Juries The Hill went through the Committee, was reported, and ordered to be further considered on Wednesday next. Mr. GOOCH presented a petition from the inhabit ants of Bungsy, against the Duty on Coals.—Ordered to be printed. The Barilla Duties Bill was read a third time and passed. The Southwark Court of Bequests Bill, with its Amendments, was reported and agreed to. Mr. BERRIES brought in certain Resolutions, pro posing that letters to and from soldiers and sailors is the East Indies and St. Helena, should be subject to the postage of 3d. each. Mr. HOME said, that this was a great hardship upon the rela'ives of soldiers and sailors, for in every other parted the world, the letten froM soldiers and call 3ra were subject to a postage of only it, and the greater the distance, the greater, in his opinion, ought to be the facility ef communication. He would therefore move as au asnendawat, that Id. be substituted for The Hillery was then cleared for a division, but the House did set divide, and we ruderstood the matter was postponed for farther coesideration. art.cIPRUCITY OF DU I'IES' DILL. On the Order of the Day being moved for the second reading of the Reciprocity of Duties' Bill, Mr. iIUSKLSSON said that he had teal several coil. smoications with the merchants and ethers wino Weft interested in this Bill, and as they had objections to it, be was wittiest% to give them an opportunity of stating them at a mere advanced stage of time Dill. If the bill were read a second time now, be would Move that it be read a third dime* Monday nest with that view. He hoped the Hon. Member for Grampound would acqui esce is this course ; ii net, it would be open to hies te skirmish now in opposition to the second rea , /ing ; but be (31r. H.) welak reserve his sumer to these objections far a futere stage. Mr. ROBERTSON sail, this was a most important Rill, and the House shrudd_ well weigh it before they cousented to its passing. He Fes prepared with evidecen to show that if it passed, we could not contend with fo reign Powers. However he would postpone his oppoei tin for the third reading. Mr. 111131 E. said he w.sheti to ask the Right Honour able Gentleman a question. At present, British ships 'entering Prussian ports, were subject to very heavy du ties, and be wished to know if this Bill passed, whether these duties would be taken off. Mr. HUSKISSON s area in reply, that the Pro- I :tit Minister at Oil Court had communicated to him I ' •
