perm Mr, by desire of the counsel for the crown, middle
inscription over by word, answering their questions r to the
forms of the letters, &e. The inscription ran thus: " Here
lyeth the body of William Tracy, Esq., late of Ross,
in the King's County, the third son of the Honour-
able Robert Tracy, late one of the judges of the
Court of Conroe Place in England, who departed the
16th October, 1734, in 42nd year of loving widow
Mary." The words in the spaces marked thee were not
legible. A Mr. Ford Martin, who stated that he was 713,
and lived retired at Brixton, having been formerly a watch-
maker Y Marylebone, said be was the son of a watchmaker
Y Dublin, and when he was about nine years of age, ke used
to go with ,his mother to visit a Mrs. Tracy, who lodged in
Exchequer-street, near the round church in Dublin. He
often heard the o'd lady tell' his mother that there was a
great difference in the circumstances of her husband William
Tracy, then deemed, and her family, who were high in
England, regretting that she wee not able to give a good
education to her eltildren ; she, herself, was Oster to a Mr.
O'Brien, a woollen-draper in Dublin, and she died in 1788.
She used to say her huthend's father was one of the judges
in England. Witness said he had been brought to give evi-
dence of this matter in consequence of an advertisement he
saw in the newspapers since 1843, inquiring for persons who
could speak of the said Mrs. Tracy from their know-
ledge of her. A medical man from Cheltenham, was called
to prove that Mrs. Lambe, who was examined on March 23,
and who was summoned to attend on this occasion to speak
further as to reputations in the family of the English Tracy s, t.f
whom she wag one, was very ill with a complication of
disorders, and wholly unable to attend, except at the immi.
lent risk or her life. He bed advised her spinet owning ;
and he gave her the same advice against coming the 23rd of
March; but she was determined to come, and her present
illness is partly the consequence. This also was stated by
another witness, Mr. Cotter. The cue was adjourned to a
day not yet named. The counsel attending for the claimant
were Sir F. Kelly, Serjeant Sbee, Mr. Bourdlllon, and Mr,
Hudson. The counsel for the crown were the Attorney-
General and the Solicitor-General for Ireland.

and disable ber. The prisoner, a lieutenant in the army,
resided with his wife and duce sons, theoshole of them sub-
sisting upon his half-pay. Ha bed unfortunately addicted
himself to habits of iatemperance, and in costeequenoe of his
baying received wounds in the head, the effect of drink was
to render him almost if not entirely a madman. In one of
these paroxysms he bad, without any provocation, attacked
his wife, end throat a knife completely through her arm, the
blow having evidently been aimed at the heart. The prose-
eetrix stated, in answer to a question from the court, that in
her opinion the prisoner was not in a sound state of mind,
and she detailed several acts of extravagance that had been
committed by him, but admitted at the same time that
upon these ocattions the prisoner was in a state of
lat.:Leedom, or had been so very recently before.
The =neon who was called to prove the nature
of the injury received by the prosseutrix, also ex-
premed an opinion that at the time the act was com-
mitted the prisoner was not in such a state of mind as to be
aware what be was about, or responsible for his acts.—The
prisoner, in his defence, said that the whole transaction
appeared to him like a dream. He did not know what he
was about at the time, and he hoped that at all events the
jury would acquit him of the felonious part of the charge,
as the effect of such a conviction would be to d, price him of
his half-pay, which was his only means of sub•istenoe.—
The jury, after deliberating a abort time, returned a verdict
of Not on the ground of ineanity. '1 he prisoner
was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.
