blood was. running from each side of his head,
where wounds wet e iofficted.. The deceased said,
that his wife had struck him with a hammer, and
with a pair of tougs; and that the itsjory which
she had doutehim.oO the, side would be the death
-of-him. He saw a hammer lying on the ground;
and also a pair of tongs. The words which • he.
heard prior to his going into the room were chiefly ,
used by the wife. The deceased was a very mild.
man, and very fond of her. .He heard

.seen him twice since he received
the injury ; Ire tees prior to that time a hale,
hearty mans-he had no asthma or cough, and he
was meets- surprised to see his death-like eeppear-
eance';. he asked the deceased how he got the in-
jury, but he avoided laying it to his wife, and, its
his opinion, to screen her from punishment, be-
cause he was satisfied that it would be Iris death.

Mr. Thomas Spencer, surgeon; 52, Isliugton-

mine the body of the deceased on Tuesday. last,
after his deCease ; he found that his seventh and
eighth ribs on 'the

ly by a violent blow ; he opened the body-; he
found the lungs on the left side perfect and
somul, and on the right side diseased., and a
posthume upon it tvlticb had recently •broke,
There were no external marks of violence on the
body. The injury rnigli have lucre/ascii the dis-
ease and produced his death ; or, on the contrary,

ed lay drinking, or cold, or Other causes, and had
the same effect. He-could not speak positively
on-the subject.

The Jury and Coroner. then adjourned to the
house of the deceased and examined the body ; oa
his left side there was a mark of black and green
'colour, about six ►nches wide and nine inches
long. The Coro►►er examined the .bead, and found
a wound on the right side of the skull about the
size of half-a-crown. The Jury Were surprised
that the -surgeon. had overlooked that wound,
which .alone, in a man of his years, might have
caused his death.

The Jury having returned, the Coroner said,
that the case was one of the most grave and se-
rious description, He recapitulated the evidence,
and left the case with the Jury, who, after a long
consultatioh, at one o'clock on Thursday morn-
ing, returnrd,.a verdict of " Wilful Murder against
the IVite of the deceased ;" and she wits com-

CONSPIRACY Al' LISBON.

(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.)

With regard to Francisco das Nives, it is proved
from his answers 'to the first interftwatoties (in
appendix No. 21), that after a denial the first
place, he confessed, declaring under oath, that he
had allowed himself to be deluded by the picture
which Colonel Monteiro drew of the state (tithe
'Nation and the Government, and that in conse-
quence of his persuasions he consented fo attach
himself to the parry which already existed ; that
at that time the animosity and vehement speeches
of the Colonel were directed against the Marshal-
General, and not against the -GovernMem ; that
the accused, when introduced to the society, ac-
ceded to the stiggestioOs which were made to him
on the general indisposition of the whole utition
towards the Marshal-General, and 'against the
nen, system of exercise; and that the accused
was admitted to the society without any other
form than giving his parole to the said Colonel
Monteiro, offering him and- his associates his
vice if necessary, without being sworn, -as was
afterwards the practice of some others. It 'fur-
ther appears, that the accused regarded as the
principal member the Ensign' Jose Ribeiro
Pinto, who, according to the statement of Col.
Monteiro, wrote all the papers;
,and that he af-
terwards knew as principal members Colonel Mon-
teiro, Manuel Ignacio, Henrique Jose, Garcia,
and others. In the answers to the second inter-
rogatories, the accused declared, that a procla-
mation which he saw in the hands of Ribeiro
Pinto was entirely directed against the Marshal-
General ; that Colonel Monteiro told him that
Gomez Friere was at. the head .of the whole, and
the accused was presented by Colonel Monteiro
io the said Gotnez Freire, to convince him, that
there was no deception; that he was presenter Lin,
April to Gotnez Freire, wlni received him in com-
pany with the ,Colonel. and Ribeiro Pinto, in his
library, where they conversed on politics, all of
tltene giving the character of a deipot to the Mar-.
rshal-Generaj,and, attributing to him the audacity

and that Campello fixed ilietn. 'up. From
whole, of the examivations it is proved, by ~the
strongest. e'vi'dence, that the atioVe-mentionea
'prisoners 'were th'e inflitential promoters and co-
operators-of the foolish and intampus project for a
wicked insurrection, which has been so happily
di*overed.

Colonel Aiopteiro in the ctitt of FehrMiry, the
Wier observed that 'it was tiow time to open their
eyes, arid invited him to-enter' into the society :
that Ibe accused asked the nature. and obj.eets of
the society, upon which Monteiro said be could
not tell these things until lie became a member;
the accused replied,lhat be would not consent to
join a society whose objects Ice did not know ;
that Momeird afterwards showed him a•-sbdidnus
proclamation. in manuscript that he' was intro-
direed to friends of Monteiro, whom,he believed
to he tnembers of the society. On the third of
June, Monteiro entered into emiversation with
Win respecting a plait , for :An -insurrection. He
saw Monteiro deliver papers to Cabral..
The prisoner: Pedro Ricardo de Figneiro, after
denials on his first examination, confessed on the
second interrogatories, that he agreed to the pro-
posal of. Col. Monteiro, who persuaded him that
the objects which the society had in view were
legal and - laudable ; that he entered the-society
about. the end of January, or beginning of Fe-
bruary, but never took any oath, nor was present
at any formal meeting; that the story of the'in-
vasion of Portugal by Spain, with which the ac-
cused was at first deluded, having passed away,
they changed their system, and manifested ambi-
tious principles, and advanced different pretexts
for changing the form 'of the Government, 'and
that Ribeiro,Pinto was the chief promoter of'the
nlot.

Manor! tie Jest's Monteiro confessed,' that- in
the month of May, lie accidentally became ac-
quainted with Ensign Jose Joaquitn Pinto da
;Silva,, on the occasion a making sonic observa-
tions on the Gazette. On the following day Pinto
told Ii ha, that he had many associates and friends,
and that be would introduce him to-a society ; that
some days after, Pinto gave him the fiat idea of
the existence of a plan for remedying curtain pub-
lic calamities, which had their origin in the nn-
bounded influence of the, English over the nation
and said that the persons engaged in that plan had
an understanding with the Government for the

.purpose of destroying that influence,
Mannel ig,ttacio de Figoeitedo stated, that he
had been seduced to i,)in the society .by the ob-
servations of Jose Ribeiro Pinto respecting the
state of public affairs ; that he became _the.chan-

nel for the correspondence with Abrantes; that
the object of the society was said to he the rege-
neration ofthe country. ,
Maxinniano Dias Itibeiro stated on his exarni,
nation, that he. was intimate with Colonel Mon-
teiro ; that be often complained of not receiving
pity; that he ;beard Monteiro utter impreca-
tions against
.0,4 ALarshmxl General, whom he re-
garded as thecaiiseof his misfortunes ; that the
said Monteiror afterwards introduced the accused
to the society, consisting of the persons already
mentioned; that his. admission, and that of two

others, took place with the accustomed forma-
lities ; and they all three iook the oaths. He
was ignorant of the objects of the society, but
understood it to be niore of the nature of masonry
than any thing else. .. -
Antonio. Pinto (h) Fonesca Nives declared in his
confession, that the first knowledge,he had of the.
society in the Rocio, was in consequence of com-.
munications made to him by Antonio Cabral in.

the presence of other persons, who showed him
two or three seditious proclamations in a house
into which they all went—which proclamations
greatly disgusted the accused; so much so, that

.
he said Cabral deserved to,he thrown out at the
windoW, and added, '' gren for our security ;"'
' that Cabral having inquired :where his relation
'Jose Ribeiro Pinto lived, the accused accompa-
nied . him to Pinto's house, and left him there,
'being ignorant as to what they were engaged
about. He acknowledged that he had done
wrong in not denouncing the papers which he
saw ; that Cabral told hint that Gomez Freire and
others were at the head of the society, and that
the Baton d'Eben was also in it : being' connect•
ed by friendship with Baron d'Eben, the accused
then went to hint, and asked him, whether be
knew of any conspiracy against therGovernment,
to which theßaron replied in the negative; the
accused, then observed it was said' there was' a
conspiracy, and that he and Gomez Freire were
concerned in it. The Baron- declared, that with
respect to him the report was false ; and that with.
respect to Gornei Freire he would inquire into
it : accordingly, on the following day, the Baron
told the accused that.he had inquired, and- the
whole was untrue. In the answers to the third
interrogatories, he said the Baron d'Elien had told
him that he received a proclamation under cover
by tbe Lisbon courier, which proclamation the
Baron allowed him, but he did not knnw 'who
had sent it. He recollected that the same Baron,
told him, showing him the page of a paper which
he bad begun to write, that he was composing a
letter to be directed to the Mar3hal-General, in
order to intimidate him and make hint set out for
England. In conclusion, the accused said, that
he did not give' information., because he had no
documents.—(To be Continued.) _ _
