LAW INTELLIGENOR

A melancholy and fatal occurrence took place COURT •OF KING'S. BENCH, J. 14.
here on the night of New Year's day, the parties Sirt JOHN PAUL, BART. V DOWILII46 AND ANOTHRR.,
enraged in which being British subjects, will render In this case, whirl; was left unfinished in* Our;
a brief summary of what has come to my knowledge Paper of yesterday, tilts juryfound a verdict for the
respecting it of some interest to you :—" There is defeildant•
in the little street opposite to the Theatre Italian a
tavern of the second order, kept by anEnglishman
of the name, of Poole, which is. much frequented;
his countrymen. On the night of the Ist instant
the salle a manger of this cabinet was well filled. '
At a small table behind the great'ene sat it• Ms.
ser; a Canadian •gentlerrian, on of '.Coliniel Fraser, !
of the Riviere du Lotip' and Tainesquataa together
with a Mr. and another gentleman;
wlnise name has not transpired.. At the large table,,
with his back to the party just mentioned, sat 'a Mr..
Warren, a relative of the Due de Feltre, formerly one
of the Gerdes 'di' 'Corps du Roi; and stibieqUently
an officer of Chasseurs a Chesil]. When the'night
had' pretty far advanced, an Irish gentleman, whose
name I cannot learn, who had been at the Italian
Opera, entered the room to procure refreshment, and
sat down opposite to Lieut. Warren. After a few
moments they discovered, that they were " compa-
triots," and proceeded to discuss the great political
topics of the day in their ill-fated country, in the
course of which the Lieutenant asked his new sc.;
quaintanee which side he took of the question (Ca-a
tholic Emancipation), adding, "Je suss du parOe
&O'Connell." The gentleman replied that "he ne-
cessarily wished for the settlernent of the Catholic
Question, being himself a Ca=tholic, and having Con-
siderable property in Ireland." During this short-
colloquy he observed that one of the gentlemen it'
the other table (Mr. Fraser, as it afterwards tented
out) showed symptoms of impatience and dissent,
and as the conversation: proceeded, appeared to
become more warm; and to use gestures expressive
of irritation. Of these facts Mr. Wareen could not •
have been aware from the position relatively to Mr.
Fraser, which he oecupied. Having finished his
glass, the gentleman with:whom Mr. W. had been in
conversation, and whose name has not transpired,
left the house, immediately upon which some sharp
observations were made by Mr. Fraser and one of his
companions on the subject which .Mr. Warren had
been discussing. The latter, a powerful man, of
almost herculean form, and, as it appeared, of a hasty
temper, replied in no very measured terms. A vio-
lent dispute arose tout de suite, in which, alluding to
Mr. Warren's having served in the army of the King
of France, Mr. Fraser is reported to hive applied to
hini the epithet of " Papist rebel," and, it is said,
not only shook his fist in Warren's face, but abso-
lutely struck him. Mr. Fraser himself, I must re-
mark, was an athletic and active man, fully a match
in the pugilistic way' for his Gallicised opponent.—
To any man, and in any country, a blow is. an offence
of the greatest magnitude, but to a man such as Mr.
Warren has been described to me (in the very words
I hare used), and a'Frenels officer, the affront would
have been indelible had the parties been sober,which
was very far from being the case. Without attempt-
ing to parry a' bloW. (for yeti are aware that in -rows
of this nature, the French, being uninstructed in
" the art of self defence," as the blackguards of
the ring call it, fight with their open hands, pull
hair, and scuffle up and down), Mr. Warren threw
himself on his opponent, bored him to the ground,
and either fell or trod upon him. He also knocked
his head against the floor. •
The friends of Mr. Fraser, and the other persons
in the room, attemated to interfere, but were kept
at bay by Mr. Warren, who imagining, as he says,
that they were all about to fall upon him, seized the
snuffers, and thieutened to stab with them the first
person that approached him. This unhappy con-
flict must have occupied a long while, as the land-
lord had time to send to the corps de garsissin the'
rue Grange Battiliere, for some of the corps
quartered there. A folwrier and three rank and file
accordingly proceeded to the scene of action, whets
Mr. Warren was pointed out as the most guilty
party. He instantly denied this assertion, adding
that, on the contrary, he, ".a French Ofeeer, had
been attacked by Mr. Fraser, un " To
the right about face—March!" said the fourrier to
his men, on hearing this satisfactory explanation,
and immediately returned to his caserne. Mr.
Warren quitted the house a moment afterwardi, re
turning the threats of Mr. Fraser, who was of
course in a state of rage and excitement. Shortly
afterwards the latter proceeded to his hotel
(Meurice's), where he became extremely ill. The
best medical and surgical advice in Paris was called
in. The blows he received in the scuffle were
found to be serious, although not dangerous ; bnt
the fall or tread of Mr. Warren upon him had pros
duced internal injury, which baffled the skill of the
medical persons, and after lingering in extreme
torture for rather more than four days, the unfor-
tunate gentle Man breathed his last at six o'clock on
Wednesday morning.
The Prom-air du Roi having been made ac-
quainted with the circumstance, ordered the neces-
sary preparations for an inquiry into the case, and
for the arrest of 'Mr, Warren, who was either taken.
into custody, or surrendered himself, I know not
which, in the course of the day. The .Magistrate
accordingly, yesterday morning, proceeded to hold
his es:quite, (of the nature of your Coroner's Inquest)
in the room in which Mr. Fraser died, and; in the
presence of Mr. Warren; caused the body of the de-
Ceased to be opened, When the opinion of the
Surgeons was confirmed--=the bladder was found to
be ruptured,and of necessity to have produced death
The proceedings terminated by the committal oi
Mr. Warren to prison, to take his trial for the ho.
inicide.—Morning Paper.

PREROGATI% Iz COURT, SAX. 14.
BARWICK AGAIIIIIT NVYLEINeII;

and four.nephews, also entitled to. distribution.. In
April, 1826, he executed 'an instrument which pun;
ported to be a memorandum of ri.will, butwea.ternled:
at the con " appointed executors,
and bore . his signature. In 1826 the envelope of
this instrument, which had..been .depositedin the
custody of one of the executors, was brolcen.ly the
deceased's order, with a view of its being altered.
Sundry new dispositions were accordingly .niade
therein, and a draught of a new will. was..drawn up •
by an attorney named Collingwood. But the length
and intricacy of this instrument embarrassed .the de-
ceased, who had been originally a butcher, .and.was.•
rather illiterate; he repeatedly endeavoured to. read
it through, and with the help of the executor de-
voted, upon one occasion, two hours to the.task,
without completely effecting his object; incessantly
complaining of the number of the " aforesaids," and,
of its " gallows length," a phrase much dwelt upon-
in the argument. Six or seven months elapsed prick
to his death, yet at that period he had not executed •
this. instrument. Under these circumstances, the,
case came before the ,Court. Three parties appeared':
in the suit. Mr. Wm. Barwiek, a nephew and exc..-
.cutor under the will of 1820; Phoebe Barwick,
.niece and executrix named in the unexecuted
each of whom supported the respective instrumental'.
and lastly the widow, Hannah Mullings, (withiwhoua
the deceased had lived on ill terms), who. opposed
both papers, and sought an intestacy.
Sir JOHN ncitof.t. pronounced for the paper
dated April, 1820, as the instrument which eon-
tained. the will of the deceased. .

A protracted discussion ensued as to the costs :
six counsel and three proctors were concerned for the
different parties.

at abont Is. per quarter below the prices of last week, the
best dry parcels are however held firmly at late prices, and
are generally ordered to Warehouse. Barley, Oats, Beans,
