THE KING 2). FRAZER.

The defendant, who is a Clerk in the Six Clerks'
Oftice, Was brought up to receive judgment for an
assault committed on Mr. Charles Wall, under the
following Circumstances :—Mr. Wall having incur-,
red a considerable debt to the Defendant, was called
on in last Sept.• to pay •ir; and for some time con-
trived to
,keep'off the demand. • At length finding
the defendant inexorable, and being threatened with
an arrest, he came to the Six Clerks' Office and
there publicly used some very insulting epithets to
the defendant. In the course of the dialogue the de-
fendant knocked Mr. Wall down, and kicked-him
cut of the Office. Mr. Wall, who was an Attorney,
immediately looked to the law for redress, brodght
his action, and the defendant was found guilty of the
assault.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH,.. after expressing his great
displeasure at hearing of those vulgar brawls in an
Office connected with public justice, direded the
defendants in consequence of some legal omission
on the part of the prosecutor, to be discharged, on
paying a fine of one shilling.

ZENIMBA V. NAvrAIJ.

In this case; Mr. GARROW sheaved cause why the
defendant should not be-brought up from the cus-
tody of the Marshal, by virtue of his privilege as
Shah-Bender. or Consul-General of the.pttoman
Porte to Great Britain.

Mr. -GARROW for this purpose; read ,an affidavit
from a person of the name of Crifico,,stiling himself
the Shah-Bender, and affirming that Natali's cre-
dentials-we
.are fictitious, and Natali himself nothing
'a
Jew than Jew !

Lord ELLENROROUGH was of opinion that the
credentials of both •Critico and Natali were of 'so
suspicious a nature, that the Court ,would not be
justified in coming to any determination upon- the
subject of the Rule, until Aore thruments were
procured froze the 'Secretary of State's Office, suf-
ficient to authenticate either.—Rule enlarged until
the last day of term.

On Wednesday afternoon an alarming fire brolip
out in the large brewery of Mr: NV: LEMAN, of
Chard, which in a- very _few hours_ consumed the
same, together with his malt-houses and their con,
tents, and a largestock of beer, to the amount of
several thousand pounds. The p:emises being part-
ly thatched, and in a confined situation, a very
small,part of the stock ,was sayed... The fire coin-
municated to the.dweiling-hou,e in. front, which
with those of Mr. EDI,VARDS, Salesman, and • Mrs.
LANGDON, were partly destroyed.' Happily a divi-
sion of the East Devon Militia were on their march
through 'the town, and by their uncommon exer7
lions preserved the whole street froth destruc-
lion.-

Thursday evening, between the hours of eight
and ten, the house of Mrs. Paul, a laundress, in
Bethnal-green-road; was forciblyentered ny thieves,
at present unkown, who stole table linen, sheets,
shirts, andother property entrusted with her to wash,
to the value of nearly Q,Ol. with which the villains
made their escape..
Monday last an inquest was'held the'bodies of
Maturin Dagorn, a French pilot, and Mary his wife,
at an Inn in prospet..-t-row, Plymouth-Dock. It .ap-
peared in evidence, hat the husband was jealous of
his wife, (but without the least- ground for it, asthe
woman was universally allowed to be very prudent
and discreet), and formed the desperate resolutio❑
of puttilig a period to her existence and his own,
which he.effected on Saturday last, by first shooting
her with a pistol, and then shooting himself with the
'same pistol, loaded again for the purpose. After a
full and deliberate investigation, the Jury'brought in
a verdia of lPilful Murder of the wife; and felo
de se on the husband. He' is ordered to be buried,
in a cross road. ,

Yesterday the prisoners who stand committed on
suspicion of felony, were removed from the different
gaols in the City and County of Middlesex to New-
gate, preparatory to their trials at the.ensuing Ses-
sions, which commence on Wednesday next at Jus-
tice Halt, Old Bailey.

SALE OF WIVES.—Two ~coal-beavers, named
Adams and Piety, having agreed to exchange wives,
went to Smithfield yesterday, for the purpose of
performing the contra& in open market. The two
women had halters round theix necks, and one of
them was. accompanied by four children, two of
whom the
.buyer agreed to take.- One of. the City-
Marshalmen, however, interrupted the disgraceful
scene, 3 and the parties refusing to depart until they
had completed the bargain, Piety was taken into
custody, .and ordered to be committed to prison by
the LOrd Mayor. in default .of bail,, for having •as-
sembled a mob, and interrupted the business of the
market.

Aiisimri TO
nfE DUKE OF CiIiVIbEf?LALVB

tcatoi4att'S iNtwesa•
V'esterday, at three o'clock, a Cor'oner's Inquest;
composed of respectable itileibitarits of the Verge Of
St. James's Palace; was held iii ihp apaithieziti of
his Royal Highness the Duke of tumberlapd, td
inquire' into the death of Joseph &His, who was
found dead in his bed at three o'Clocle the preceding
morning.
Mr. ADANis; the Coroner, after stating the objeei
Of their investigation, said, it would be 6 tieeessary.
for him to allude . to the ,Violeht attack Which had
been made upon his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland, while aleeping in his bed on Thursday
morning. From the. information which had Since
come to his knowledge, he observed, that there ap7
peered the strongest grounds•to suspect that the ae-7
teased had made that attack. Several witnesses had
been examined upon the subject, -among them xas
his Royal Highness, and as he was unable to attend
thew -in person, be should read • hiS deposition,
which he expressed an extreme desire to confirm
upon oath.
The depoaition-Was then read. It stated; in sub-
' stance—
. That between two and three o'clock On Thursday
morning, while the latrip was ektinguished, he was
attacked in his bed by a person whom he could not •
discern, and received two severe cuts in his head;
and 'several blows on different parts of his body ;
that he. jumped out of bed, and endeavoured to
open the door which 'led to his. Page Neill's apart-
ment; but before be could open the door, and
while standing on the floor, he received a severe '-
ctit on the thigh ; be then alarmed the House, and
_the person assailing desisted. The man-never spoke
a wordy but-vile heard him deep soineihing, which
he believed to he a sword. Neill then entered the
room, and was endeavouring' to folow .the assassin,
but he would not then-allow him, but desired him
to take care that no one should . be sulfered to leave
the house. He afterwards examined the apartment.,
and he saw the scabbard of a sword, a`dark lanthorn,
and a pair of slippers, belonging to &hie, in a closet
adjoining the room wherein he was'attacked. He
never recollected having 'incurred 'the displeasure of
Sellis, or given him any cause of otience; on the
Contrary, he had doire• him several acts of kinclnes's, •
and should still have continued to do so..
The examinations of the other witnesses, winch
had been- previously taken before Mr. READ, and
other Magistrates,were here read, but as they w ere all
called in, and perwitally examined uhOn every point
that, came within their knowledge, we shall, there-
fore, 'detail the evidence given before the jury,
which includes all that appeared ih the depesitions..
Cornelius Neill, page,to his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cumberland, swore, that while he was.
in bed on Thursday neeining, he was alarmed
by his Royal Highness calling " Murder !" He
immediately entered the root , and foetid his
Royal Highness covered with blood, who said,
" Neill, I'm murdered !" That witness, in .walk-
ing towards the '-eppOsite door of the room, put Isis
foot upon a naked . sword, which he tilted in
his hand, and found it to be almost covered with
blood. He then, having formerly laid held of
a • poker, was going -to pursue the murderers
through the opposite door, but his Royal High-
ness prevented him, saying, " Don't Ka front me,
for 'God's sake, there may be another in the moire
but take care- that no person- be suffered to leave •
the :house. Let Sellis he called to give assistance."
His, Royal. Highness and the witness then went
down stairs, and alarmed the porter and the other
servants. • Witness desired the porter and hii own
wife to go and alarm Sellis, but his wife returned,
and said that his door was locked, and she could.not
make him answer her. Some person. then said, that
the key was in the inside of Sellis's-dour, and that
he was murdered;. but the .witness could not recol-
lett who it was-that first told him so. They then
searched the apartments and found a scabbard, a
dark lanthorn, a pair of slippers with Sellis's name
marked in his (Sellis's) own hand writing, a bottle
of water, and two bolsters, in 'a water-closet which
was .within a closet that adjoined his Royal High-
ness's bed room. On looking at the lock of the
interior closet, be perceived that the key was in the
inside, which be never observed_ before, and which,
in lais opinion, could be put thei-e for no other pur-•
pose than to conceal a persen who should lock him-
self -within the closet. From having seen the sword
on the floor, and the wounds which his Royal High-
ness bad received, he had reason to believe that they
were given with the sword. 'The witness attended
his Royal Highness when be came home on Wed-
nesday evening, about- twelve o'clock, and at ti.iat
time he observed no person in his room. He was
ordered to awake him next morning at six-o'clock,. -
as he was to go out at seven. He then went to
bed himself, atter shutting the door of his Royal
Highness's room, but without locking it, mad he did
not think any person could have entered by that
door, as he must have seen or heard them. He
thought the assassin must have concealed 'himself in
the closet before his Royal Highness went to bed.--.
Some days before be recolleCted Sellis having brought
out a suit of regimentals, which he in his
Royal:Highness's bed-roern,,in order that his Roy Ott
Highness might dress for a military inspection,
that inspeCtion not taking place, Sellis took them
away again, anti • left the'stord behihd. He oe-
served the sword lying in 'the room on Wednes-
day.He observed it to lie on the sofa about three
days.
To a qbestien put by Mr. Place, the Forefeet) of
the Jury, " 'Whether he knew of any motive
which Sellis could have for taking away the Duke's
life ?" the witness answered, " That he had no mo-
tive in the world, for the Duke. had done: more ter
him than for any other servant he- bad." That hi.
Royal Highness had done less for hirnSelf, 4VIIO had
been longer in his service. His Royal Highnesss
had not only -himself treated him with Brea: k Lid-
ness, but prevailed on some of the Princesses to
bestow favours on his wife and children.
,When
Sellis 'first, came into the service he was Only a
barber." • •

Q. (By the Jury). Did you ever hear Sethi,
complain of any bad treatment he had receive 4
from the Duke ?—A. He had no reason to com•
plain.

U. Did yon ever hear him complain
ness. Am I obliged to answer the question ?
The Coroner said 40 must answer that question.

t

i

.0;e,5..-1-Te heard him complain svvcral times

meen two and three years ago, .(the servants
ving fOrnierly been allowfed half-a-gni(tea a week
board •wages, and three shillings and sixpence per
day-tor. travelling expences.) His Royal Highness
rased their board wages to fourteetrShillings a week,
and took away the three shillings and sixpence for
travelling expences, as the servants only went to
Wiothor, where they had their victuals for nothing.
When that arrangement took place, a paper was
(ha n up by the Steward for all the servants to
si,;o-, expressive of Cher approbation of it. Sellis
alone refused to sign it, as witness was informed
b)- the Steward. He, said he would be cl-d be-
fore he would sign it, and nobody but blackguards
wr,ulkl sign it. He understOod that his' expressions
w re anerwaorls reported to the Duke, and that, at
lii; Royal Highness's request, the Steward informed
Mtn; that if he did not sign it, he and his family
must quit the house ; when Sellis agreed to sign it.
Wi,ness knew of no recent misunderstanding be-
tween the deceased and the Duke, and he did not
know that which be now related of his own know-
ledge. - .

-
Q. .Had you ever any dispute with him yourself?
—A. I never gave him an angry word.
CI Did he give you any angry word ?—A. He
'did not speak very civilly of rue, but I never gave
him an angry word.' I never answered the bad lin-
glia!ge he used to me.
Q. What did hessay to you ?—(This question was
not pres3ed.) _ _ _ _

How did .the deceased generally condu& himself
in the family ?—A. He was very malicious in his
diwnsition, and never would be contradicted, net
oven by, Duke himself. I was informed that he
fought the Steward al Kew, and that he fought with
one or two more servants. He was very reserved in
conversat ion with he" wimes4.

Q. Did you lately observe him to bein a low or
desponding state ?—A. N0,.1 did not. He was late-
aqiic.ted with a' cold, and his Royal Highness per.-
mitted him to ride in his carriage, in consequence of
it.

Q.. Do you think it was the deceased. who attack-
ed hi, Royal Highties?:—The truth- will coax out
e!, ,no oubt of it... ",

Juan. Answer !be question.
. .iun is, that as I undressed Ilia Royal
Highness, and my bed being next his room, Sellis
'meant to urdcr the Duke, thinking that-the blame
should no toe.,

JURY. ,S your opinion ?
WITN Esc it,j+tred charaaer; and I have
not the ,eait d.,uty of it.

Mis. ANNE NEILL, wife of the last Witness, ex-

arnmed,

About three o'clock on Thursday morning, she
heard a call of murder, and she • got up ; she met
his Boyd Highnes; in his shirt, and covered with
bloo arid ..er hu-band on the stairs, and was de,
siredlo-call Sellis., She went to his room, but could
not make him answer her ; she attetnieed-to open
the door, 'hut it was locked; she put her ear to the
door, and heard a goggling noise, like water falling;
she lio.,ght it was in -a person's throat. She then
-returned and told tife servants what she had heard,
and that she Ihmign't he was deld. The Porter
said, Good Uticl I" She did nut again go to his
The deceased was very obstinate in his dis-
position, and would not bear to be contradicted by
any one. Witness knew him twelve years. She
hted in the family only five years, but she knew
S~ fits befl'ire she came. He was not •in a despond-
ingl s ate, .so far as she could observe, but he was
lately atllkted with a cold, of which he was mend-
g. The Duke, and seftral branches of the Royal
F Hely, sheaved him great kindness. His. Royal
Highness stood sponsor for one of his.children, and
prevailed on Princess Augusta to stand Godmother
for it by proxy. She heard the Queen made his
wite a present of two pieces of Indian muslin for
the child. Princess Elizabeth also made presents
to the family, as 'witness was informed. There is
a green dour which separates the Duke's rooms from
the Queen's, and the witness's husband had the key
Of it, but tlie Duke permitted Sellis to get a key
made, to permit him to pass Oarough the Queen's
-rooms into his own apartments without havingto go
out to get home. On Court days the deceased's
• ,A ire and chil,:ren were alway in the gallery, and the
Queen and Princesses took great-notice of them. De
ceased appeared to be very fond of his family.—
A,.otit three weeks ago the deceased told .the wit-
ness t hat he w 25 applying for a sinecure for his wife,
as he was afraid the Duke would isot obtain one for
ifllnself, as he suited him so well. He said the
Duke had applied to Lord Dartmouth for the office
of housekeeper to the Cock-pit, in the room of
Mrs. Marsh, who had -died. Witness knew no-
acquaintance of Sellis, but a -Mr. Everet and a
Mr. Dupree, a wax-chandler. She had no reason
to ',oppose that the deceased was, jealous of his
ile, but ba,l heard that his-wife was jealous of him.
Site knew that tl e deceased had called her husband
great many bad names within the last twelve
nion.lA. Their dispute she, understooi had arisen
consenuence, of the key which he had made to
get through the Queen's rooms.
lienj n Smith, -porter to the Duke of Cumber-
i:itat, said,' he was called up about three o'clock in
lie morning of Thursday last, by a call of "-Alta-
!" and that lie received dire&ions to stop every
lion) leaving the house; that he went to
house to call 'him up, but his wife told him
,ttiat he slept in the Duke's apartments. He then
~.cieto his apartments these, and heard a guggling
k,i.,e:within, but could not gain admittance, as the
loor'Wa4 locked. He and some more of the ser-

room,

;tots Wen went to the other door, which was upon

b kir,. and thq concluded Selljs was-murdered,
nojie. of them went in. SeHis' never slept in
.• at room, unless the Duke was next clay going to
Witness'observed the window.shtitters
,he Duke's rooms unfastened, which he thought
iiraoge circumstance, as they were fastened every
T i t Wkoess was in bed when he heard the
tiArin of " Mtieder." On coming to the staircase
saw the Duke' in Ibis shirt, and Mr. Neill saying
i,is Royal 'Highness was murdered. -Witness was
fra:d to , enter Sellis's room, thinking that the
a-sins might tie there. He entered afterwards in

c )mpany with the
.soldiers, and found hiin in the
~;we posi. ion in which' he has remained. ever
Wntiess, according- to dire6tions; afterwards went

for Mr. Home, the SUrgeon, to dress the wounds of
his Royal Highness. Heard deceased say, on
Wedue,day night, Who's for Windsor to-mor-
row ?" and hearing. that, he was not surprised to
find Sellis sleeping in the Duke's apartments.
MATHEW HENRY ERASLEN, a German, who calls
himself Yager to,his Royal Highness, said, he was.,
called up by Mrs. Neill, and hearing that murderers
were in the House, he seized a pair ofspiStols, and
went into the Duke's- apartment. kisaring that
Sellis was murdered, he went in company with the
-Porter, Mr. Neill, aild others, to the door of his
room, which entered from the Duke's apartments,
and found the door a-jar. He had a pair of piStols
in his hand, but he was afraid to enter the rooms
not knowing who might. be there. (This. exulted
a laugh.) These were three of them at the door,
but none of them would enter any more that him-
self. Witness was not in the room since,. so he
could not say whether it was Sellis lay deed in it
or not, as he did not look at hi n. Witness heard
the decreased on Wednesday ask, ‘• Who'a, for
Windsor to-morrow ?" Witness answered. " I am," -
Sellis was a very civil, well behaved man—generally
saw him once a day during the year and a half that
witness was in the service. There was a terious
quarrel between the deceased and Neill. He heard •
the deceased call Neill, thief, and several other op.._
probrious names. They seldom spoke together,
Witness did not see the Duke, but he, heaa'clhim
complain of his pain, and call for water. (Theavit-
ness here retired, and the Jury expressed Much clis-
.approbatichi of his seemingly inditierent conduct:)
JOSEPH CREIGHTON, a Serjeant in the Coldstream
Guards, was on duty at St. James's Palace on Thurs-
day morning. About three o'clock he was called to
the Doke of Cumberland's house, to which he went
accompanied by another serjeant, and two or three
soldiers. On entering the house he met two ser-
vants, who told him that the Duke of Cumberland
had been wounded, and that Sellis was murdered.
He then went along with the soldiers and servants to
the dead man's room. None of the servants would
enter in, but he and the other soldiers did. They
found Sellis lying dead, with his throat cut, on the
bed.—His stockings and pantaloons were on, but he
had no coat, nor could he say positively whetherhe
had a waistcoat on. On the floor b. tore_ the bed lay
a white handled razor, and a while handkerchief
cut in several places. On the opposite side of the
room was a wash-hand bason with some. water in It,
which looked as if some. person had been washing ,
blood in it. The curtains were sprinkled with blood
as w-ellas several parts of the room—at that ti.ne it
was broad day-light.
Mr. WILLIAM JACKSON, a Surgeon, was then ex-
amined. He had viewed the body,' and he had no
doubt but the deceased came to his death b.y the '
,wound in his throat, which he had apparently in-
flictedepon himself. He observed no other wound
upon him. • .
JOSEPH STRICKLAND, Under Butler to his Royal
Highness, saw the deceased in the dressing-room of
his Royal .Highness the preceding evening, when
witness entered to put the Duke's cop upon the
fable. When he first entered the room he did not
see him, and was surprised to find him there, as
he knew it was not his night to wait. It was about ►
eleven' o'clock. The deceased looked hard and
laughed at him, but said nothing, which made him
more surprised. He did not know whether it was
a ghastly laughs but it was not in his usual manner.
Witness was.almost, going to, ask whether he was
goihg to Windsor, but he did not. It was not the
witness's duty to enter the room when a page was
there, nor would he have then entered it, if he knew
that'Sellis-was there. He did not notice whether he
had slippers on, but he was sure he had a coat. yVit-
ness was• not intimate with the deceased, but he
always found him very civil.
Mrs, S. FARLEY, house-maid to his Royal High-
ness, said she was sure she shut all the windows the
preceding night, and fastened the bars; she also
locked the doors, excepting that which led from
Sellis's room to the Duke's apartments ; she put two
.bolsters in the interior closet the preceding evening ;
but there was not then the scabbard of aaword there,
nor slippers. When. she looked in the closet in time
morning, she found that the bolsters had been con-
siderably, altered from the state in which she left
them. Sellis told her on Wednesday evening, in the
presence of two other female servants, that he should
go to 'Windsor next day, and that he should sleep
in the Duke's apartment that night She had
seen a lanthorn in his room several times like
that which was fhund tin the closet, and she fre-
quently saw him have it in his hand, upon the stairs.
She remarked in the morning, that, instead of
finding the window shutters fastened, as she had
left them, they were all open. She always un-
derstood that the deceased and his wife lived on
very affectionate terms. , She`often heard him talk
kindly of his wife and children. She saw Mrs. 1
Sellis only three or four times in her life, and those .1
were Court days, when she and the family came
into the gallery. The Duke's sleeping room was
now in the same situation in which it was when
the attack was made upon him, only time sheets
had been removed. When- his Royal Highness's
wounds had been dressed, clean sheets were put
upon the bed,' lest he should lie down again,
but he ordered another small bed to be, prepared
for him.
JAMES BALL, servant to the Duke of Cumbers
land, was alarmed in' his bed by the housekeeper
when he got up, he asked what the matter was ?
and was told that his Royal Highness had been mur-
dered. Mrs. Neill told him to call Sellis which he
did, but found his door locked. The witness then
returned, and said he could not get in, but the Porter
told him to go round the other'way, which he did,
. with the soldiers. He saw the deceased lying in his
bed, but would not go in. HeasleSired them to say. if
he was dead, and one of them said, " Aye, dead
enough." Witness then said, if he is dead let every
thing remain just as it is, which they did, and came
away. Recollects the deceased guar-wiling with
• Neill several tithes. The dispute -otigipated in
Neill taking. a newspaper out of. Mr. Sellis's hand,
Witness himself never had any dispute with the
.deceased. Knows that the Duke had been' more kind
to Sellis than toany other servant. Recollects Sellis
refusing to sign a paper at the Duke's request, but
that he did sign it afterwards, when the Duke.
, threatened to discharge him. He has heard de-

casion he heard hith Say,'" that he must speak to

Some years ago the deceased used to ride in the car-
riage with his RoYal,Highness, but- when the box
was made, he was obliged to sit, on the box, of Which
he complained very much : he said tt shook - him,
and that he.ought to be alloWQd to ride inside, like
the Prince of Wales's Page. He had likewise re-
newed that complaint lately, when be was not al-
lowed to sit inside.

Sj
.ereant THos DAV ENHALL corroborated the
many of Serjeant Creighton, and said that a private,
of the name of John Creevey,was the first who enter-
ed the deceased's room.

•JOHN CREEYBY, a privwe in the Coldstream re-
girrient of Guards,,said, that the servant who c:rried
the candle to spew them to the room, s.vaS in such
agitation that he dropped. They. then en'ered, •and
found_ him as Serjeant Creighton described.
A servant of the' Duke of Sussex deposed, that
the deceased often told him, that if he could get_
another place he would leaVe the Duke of Cumbtr-
land, as. he allowed him but little wages, and Neill
was allowed all the perquisites, although he could
swear that he rObed his master. He said also,„ that
lie was Used very ill; and if Neill was away, his situa-
tion would be much better. This conversation
took place about a year.and a halfago. :Sellis was a
very sober man, and of few words.

- -
Another servant deposed, that the..deceased told
him he was going to leave about four months ago ;
but the witness-said, " Good God ! you must mind
your family." •
A copy of a letter was read, which was address-
ed to his Royal Highness by the deceased. It was
dated in isoB, and
,accused Neill of robbing his
Royal Highness.

Another letter, was found, the content of which
was, that the deceased felt very much hurt that he
was not permitted to ride in the carriage; is the
Prince of Wales permitted. his page to ride in his
carriage.

JAMES PAULET said he was a native of Germany,
and one of the Duke's valets. Mrs. Neill first
alarmed him at a little before three o'cloCk, by
knockingat his door;. and saying the Duke was mur-
dered. He immediately jumped out of bed, and re-
piied. to the Dake's room, where he found Neill
supporting his 'Royal Highness,—The Duke ex-
claimed, " 1 am murdered ! and-the murderer is in
the room." Mr. Neil wanted to leave the Duke to
search for the assassin, but his Royal Highness would
nut permit any of his servants to leave him, but
wished that Sells might be informed of his situation,
in order that he might come to his assistance. The
-Duke was soon informed that Sellis was murdered,
or had killed himself. the Duke then immediately
desired that some of the servants might attend hiin
and procure surgical assistance. At this time there
were three lights in the room, and the Duke, from
the loss of blood, began to get very weak, and lay
down on the bed. Neill then proceeded to search
the room, but could find nothing except the sword,
which lay in the door-wan he then, with the other
valet, proceeded into the other closet andinspeelecit he
different inner closets, in one of which he found two
bolsters, the scabbard of the sword, which had
been found in the bed-rooin, a dark lant horn, a pair
of old slippers, with Sellis's name written on the in-
side of them, and a pint bottle of water. The witness
said that Sellis had frequently cautioned him to place
no confidence in Neill, -that he was a bad man, lie
also said that Sellis was very obstinate, and. never
would give up a single point of his opinion, however
Wrong, not even to the bake himself. He farther
said, that he Was a‘ very reserved man. He had lived
five years in the family with the deceased; and during
that time had observed, that he never -was on friend-
ly terms with Neill.
FERDINAND Buzzio, an Italian, deposed, that-he
had known Sellis for 'l4 or 15 years, and that he
was a steady man, but very reserved; that he called
on him about- five months ago, and asked him to
look out for a situation for him, as he was deter.-
mined to leave the- Duke; upon which he remon-
strated with him, and hoped he would consider his
fatnilf, if he did not himself. Since that time the
deceased never mentioned any thing .more On that
subject to the witness.

Mrs. HANNAH SEtus,the widow of the de-
ceased, was next called in. She was extremely
agitated ; and though it was' probably the intention
of the Coroner and the Jury to have examined her
minutely, they were satisfied with her acknoWiedg-
ing the deposition which she had made before the
Magistrate. The deposition' was read over to her,
and she stated that it was the evidence she had be-
fore given. It was to the following effed : " That
the deceased had. passed nearly the whole of Wed,
nesday in her company; that he went, to the market,
and af.elnrds walked with her in the Park, when
he said he should sleep that night in the Duke's apart-
meals ; she verily believed he had shoes and.gaiters
on at that time; and not slippers. He had a severe
cold lately, but this week he was more cheertal
than he had been for some time before. He bad
remarked to her not long since, that death was a
debt all sooner or later Must pay, but she did not
think that he then bad. any particular intention in
his mind. She, never heard him ci,mplain of the
-treatment which he received from his Royal High—
ness, but, on the contrary, was highly gratified by
the kindness he and other branches of the Royal
Fatpily sheaved him, particularly the preent of mus-
lin which witness received from .the Queep, and.
Princess Augusta standing godmother.to his child.
He was not embarrassed in his circumstances,
for she did not knOw of any debt he owed, but
one -to the apothecary. Since the- birth of their
last child, about eight months ago, he never
spent an evening out, but always with his family,
when not employed with thp Duke. He belonged
to no club or society. During his illness he was
sometimes giddy, but never took the- medicines that
were prescribed him by the 'suigeon,. saying that re-
gular living ,was the best medicine. He .some-
times talkea of leaving the Duke's service, on
account of his disputes with Neill; but she
remonstrated with him on his imprudence in enter-
taining such a wish, when they had a good house, and
plenty of coals and candle besides allowed to them.
