ATTENIFF at MURDER and SUICIDE.

- Wednesday evening last, about half-past 7
O'clock, oneof the most melancholy events occurred
in this city that has been known for many years
past. A person of the name of heady, who had
cohabited with a young woman of the name of
Mary Garrod, residing in the parish of St. Stephen,
in consequence-of a fit of jealousy, (aggravated by
circumstances of a pecuniary nature, in which he'
charged her with involving him), sent for her to a
house in which he had been an oCcasional visitor:
the unfortunate victim obeyed the summons ; she
sat down in the room, and after a few words had
passed, she arose to leave when Bendy pre-
sented a pistol at her, discharging it—the con-
tents entering the left • side, just under• the arm
he immediately discharged another pistol at his
o►tn head, but by resting,► the muzzle of the wea-
pon only .on its edge, it failed in the effect in-
tended ; the wound thus inflicted being only s la-
ceration of the scalp and destruction of the right
ear. Messrs. Fayerman and Harris, surgeons,
St. Stephen's-street, having been desired to at-
tend, they, on examination, found the woman in
a most dangerous state, the contents of the pistol
having entered just below the axilla, taking a la,-
teral direction beneath the muscles, penetrating
between the•sth and 6th ribs, passing the left lobe
of the lungs without injury, but taking an appa-
rent direction through the diaphragm, and losing
itself in 'the abdomen. At 11 o'clock she was
conveyed to the Norfolk and Norwich Hos,
pital, where she now lies without hopes of
recovery.—Bendy, after an examination by Thos.
Back, Esq. was detained until Thursday morning,
when, after the depositions of witnesses had been
taken and' sworn to; the prisoner was fully con►-
mitted for trial at the ensuing Assizes, by J. W.
Robberds, Esq.•Mayor.—lt is with concern we.
have to state, that Bendy has a wife and several
children residing in London.--(Norwich Mercury,
Jan.-20.)

- A change is said to be about to take place on
the Bench of Judges in India:. Sir W. Bosouons,

resignation, one of the Junior Judges froni
Madras will, it 'is understood, he sent up to suc-
ceed him ; and Sir a'STA-Ni.EY will be promoted
from the Recordershiii..ofPrince„of Island
.to the vacant-seat on,the Madras Bench. _

On Sunday night some villains entered the Toll-
bar House at Wurdlowe Myars, near. Tideswell,
in Derbyshire, kept by a poor old widow woman
of the name of Oliver, about, 70 years of age,
whom the inhuman wretches strangled by tying a
handkerchief round her neck, to make it appear
that She had perpetrated the horrid deed herself ;
but marks tif violence being discovered on diffe-
rent parts of her body, supposed to have been in-
licted by her resisting the monsters, the Coro-
ner's verdict was Wilful Murder against some person
or persons unknown. Three men have been appre-
hended on suspicion of committing the murder.—

C6tlier 'ALA lITI.IL. ON SIR .IO AIURRAY.
[HELD AT WINCHESTER.]

FRIDAY, FIFTH DAY.

Lieutenant-General MACKENZIE'S Examination

continued.

Q. Sir John MUrray'wished previously to ob-
serve, that a paper which had been snbmitted to
the Court on a former clay, and-at which he had
•
looked he was desired. by.AdMiral Hallowell to ab-
itain fi•t4 showing to ,those friends wArA
now kind. enough
,to assist.. hire with. theji ads ice,,
He wished to be informed, whether -.he-iias
cothpetent to exhibit to his advisers whatever:do7
cinnents were laid before the Court, and -subinit-
ted to his own inspection

The Deputy Judge Advocate observed, that the
circumstance which 'alone entitled Admiral Hal-
towel( to withhold the paper in question Was, that
it was not at that time decided, whether it could
he received in evidence. It was subsequently re-
jected. • As soon as any documents became matter
of evidence, they became equally the property 'of
all parties. "
Admiral Hallowell said, his only motive-for not
permitting Sir John Murray to shew.the paper to
others was, that the Court was then debating
whethen it should be received as evidence.

. .
General Wkenzie then, corrected that part of.,
his former testimony which represented him :tqi,
have heen-,at Vandilos on the night of the 15th.
He did not arrive till the morning of the l6th.,
and quitted. it before night. He had unfortu-.
nately been robbed of his desk and papers, and
had not therefore the Means of refreshing his re-
collection.

-Q. If the enemy bad ad'vanced in sufficient
force from the westward, would not the catralry
and artillery have been exposed to great danger
by being sent to Balaguer ?—A. Previous to their
departure, I was directed to scud the right wing
of the 27th to cover•the march, which was then
supposed to be a sttfhcie►it protection.
Q. Supposing the enemy, to. the number of
8000, to. have been at Villafranca, could they,
whilst General Copqns was. at Torre,de-Barra with
7000, have surprised the British army at Tarra-
grina, or interrupted any measure which Sir John
Murray might pursue with a prospect.of success ?
--A. 1 do not think they could have interrupted
the siege. Torre de Barra is only seven miles
from Tarragona ; the ground is extremely strong,
and almost a continued defile the whole way.
Q. Did you, on the 12th of June, 1813, give as
your decided opinion to Sir J. Murray, that there
was at that time no necessity for raising the siege
of:Tarragona ?—A.• I did take the liberty of sug-
gesting to Sir John Murray the propriety of at-
taching. Decaen's force, supposing it to have been
at Villafranca.
