fvfoßDlß.—Yohn Antonio liar& and Seim:flies Grattoi,.
were Witted for the wilful murder of William Broad'
on the sth of November lad, during the Wellminfier
Elation. The initialers pleaded !sot Csihy.—The
trial occupied the Court from ten in the morning un
til pwf fix in the evening.
'l'. Vyoe flated, that about half pall feten
on the evening of the sth of November, the attention
of paffengers waearretted at the door of a (Adler in
Long-acre, where the piifenecs, decorated Vela (ea.
theta, flags, ate. had made their appearance. and
began to &mule the fpeflatore with various antics.—
Nardi went into the fadler's (hop,. and the other re
mained.at the door; but a mob loon collated, and
Nardi told them, from the flop door, that if they
did not difperfe he would Moot fume of them. This
expreffion was taken notice. of by Conte perinea who
compofed the mob, and on his coming out of the
door he placed hjrnfelf by the fide of Grandi, and a
fort of reale enfued. Nardi, whom witnefa conceiv-
ed to be fober, had a bunfle in Ms left head,-and he
wore a dark mixture coat. Grandi theiwitneTs fup-
poled to be drunk. After the fctiffle commenced,
Nardi pulled fomething from his right hand pocket
(affifted by his left hand), but witnefs &sold not fweAr
what it was. The prifoner Inked at it, and witnefa
thought he perceived the blade of a knife, about four
inches in length, the handle being covered in the
srafp.—Brr ad, the deceafed, was at this time light-
ing 'tingle handed with Grandi, in the middle of the
['tett, in a regular ring, and Nardi made an opening
from the pavement, under the fadler's window, where
he florid, to the ring, with the knife before defcribed
in his hand. This happened very loon after the pri-
loner had fire drawn the knife, and witnefs, fulpe'ling
tome foul play; followed him clofely to the two men
who were fighting. Broad, the deceafed, was fpar-
ring ptennus to making a blow at Grandi when wit.
nets law Nardi Nab him three or four times in the
arm, which was extended. 'rhe prifoner was by the

informed he was in paid:lion of a dangerous weapon, -
and he retreated to die oppofite rule of the way, un•
der the window of a cheelemouger'e (hop. Witnefs
feized.the prifoner by' the right artn,,and he (billed
the knife into his left. with the bundle as abeam de-
fcribed ; and he afterwards threw it away. lie was
taken into the (hop of the cheefemonger ; Conn after
which a voice in the crowd called nut, that a man
had been dabbed, and it was the general erf, " fe•
cure the alLtain." Nardi feated'hunfelf on a tub in
• the (Inn, and cad off his ettat, wainehit, and hat.—
An officer was rent for from Bow-lbett, Sad the prl-
loner was feaithed, when two knife's were krehd in
his pockets. The officer eared him which he had
Ribbed the man with, when ha pointed to the one
with asreen handle. Wittiefs few the knife, bat it
was not bloody. On being croli-examined, witnefs
fuppofei there were altsint one hundred perfons pre-

' Mr. Holt, a furgenn, who refidee in Abington.
greet, Wettmintler, was palling along .I.ong Acre
between liven and eight o'clock in the evening. Ike
pi &ma Grandi was decorated fantatlically.
Nardi, decorated in like manner, with a paper,
having the name of Patill duck in his hat, went into
a fadlet's fli.ip whild hi. companion Hood at the
door on the pavement. Graadi Paid to witnefs—
' You had better go about your Wuxi., or the gen-
tleman in the fhop will perhaps gire you a thump
when he comes nut." Wit nets ant% ered, ii was de
wilith civil, and he walked off, left the affertion thould
be realifed. %Waifs looked in at the window of an
adjoining (hop, and, in a few minute-, a crmfiderable
coneoctfe of people afTemblesl at the window of the
fadler'a. Grandi fpoke in Nardi in the Italian lan-
guage, and he (Nardi) made his appearance at the
s door, and laid.—.." What the Devifare you all about,

claim, " belies jun ggt a knife ;" and the crowd
then feented, to prefs hips on the oppofite -fide of the '
way. Two' young men, whom the crowd had left,

appeared a wound, jet above the bend of the ; rm.
cr.ls ways, of about three inches in length, and the
artetier, were cut through. There was alto a wound
itt the ti,igli, three incites in depth, which, however.
would not have deprived the man of life. Witnets
d ailed • the wound, and conveyed the deceafed to
the houfe of his Uncle, from whence he was taken to
the hotpital. .
Jofeph Manby corroborated what had fallen from
the preceding witneffes ; but on croft -examination.
he did not know who was boxing with the deceafed.
He did not perceive any thing in the hand of Nardi.
but he law his lifts in motion. Some perfons in the
crowd called net—" D—n him, give it him, teed*
Nate) (boot." Witnefs believed Nardi lull his hat,
by wiceiving a slow on the head.
--*-- Grmies, a coachmaker, alfo corroborated
the Ratercent of the two &ft witneffes throughout.—
When Nardi talked about (hooting, witnefs heard the
deceafed lay 'r (boot away ;" said his companions
laid," thorn and-be d--1." He taw Grandi punt
the deceafed wittt the Hick he had in his hand, and
the deceafed returned the pone, which led to the con-
ten between them. ' A
' Foto other witneffes to rated- the flatiments
refpeaing the fight between ndi and tbedeceifed,
and alto refpearng the ad .of bbing committed hy
Nardi. Some of them, however, allowed that the
Pispnlaee did not deal very fairly keph the prifoners,
in the tied intlanke, nor would they undertake to fay
which party commenced the affray.
Mr. Basket, who drelled the wound in Bartholo.
mew's Hofpital,nbferved, that a ligature had been
Applied to the wound, and that the man wa• in a fair
way of doing well horn Wednefday to Saturday.
when the deceafed again loft a deal of blond from the
wound', which was then flopped ;• but it flowed again
on Monday, and the deceafed expired, as witnefs be-
lieved, through lois of blood.
The prifoners being called on for their defence—
Nardi faid he had never offered to offend any man ;
his conduit was quiet, civil, and Heady. He went into
the fadler's Rho p to buy a whip ; and on his leav-
ing it, teveral of the populace aiked him, who he was
for ! He had had a paper (luck in his hat at a honk
near Golden-fquare, but be knew not the meaning
of ir, as he could not read Englifh. Ile meant no-
thing, when he laid his brother would Shoot ; but he
was itruck by the populace on the head literal times
until he knew not where he was, and he was feveral
times knocked down, as was alto his companion.—
He laid he was half killed, and he'expeiled to lore
his lift. The populace laid they were glad he had
me: hit match. He had been twenty-duor years in
this ccruntre, and he never was tiled to carry w:knife.
He truck the deceafed with a knife acrofs the arm,
without intending to hurt him, and be then Red to
avoid the fury of the mob. ,
Grandi made a &miler defence.- - • • •'
On the part of the prifnpers, William Drew, a
Ihnemalter of St. MArtin's.court, whe witneffed the
whole tranfaOion, gave a very clear detail of the tir-
•enmflances, from which- it appeared that Grandi gnd
Nardi were fill attacked ; and that Nat& on pre-
fentiag his whip in a jocular manner, and laying" I
will (boot you," was immediately attacked by the
deceafed, encouraged by his companions. .
A number of other witnellis confirmed thii UM-
,
mon y.
•11. The Prifoners' Cnorifel proceeded te'rittnce evi-
dence to prove the frequent infinity of Nardi.
Dr, S. F. Simmons, phyfician of St. Luke's Hof-
pita!, fully believed Nardi to be infant. He was un-
der his care in May lall, and his mind was greatly
deprefeel. He had made feversl attemptt to commit
foixida, and even fn line as July and Oflober, in the
'1 pseient year, be bad had ocular demouftration of
his infinity. .

Mr. Martha% of Wigmore-Rrect, and fivers'
nttler vety reficEtable men, who knew Nardi welt.
fpbke to his infanity, and gave foffirlent proofk, byl
narration of hitt', which bur limits drilaysot peewit
as to eater into. In fa&, fame of his n sta-had
at oue time fent him to ,Mary bovinela: grZtalary. •
Several perfons gave Cr:Antal an excellent chandler.
While the Counfel for the prifonets were prOceed.
ing with their proofs of the infanily of Nardi, they
were flopped by Mr. Baron GRAM AM. who tired tba
cnufP. lie thought there was no occaGots to go far-
ther into that point, which was already fufficicntly
apparent.

Baron GRAHAM then firft di•eded the Jury to take
into their confideration, whether or not di; prifoner
Grandi had committed any rife= ? and in doing fo
they would recoiled, that at the time the wound was
given he was at a dillance from tfateli, and it was
not the eafinefs of temper which lad him to wear a
cockade, or a medal, which invt•lved him in any kind
:if guilt. With refped In Nardi ; the firit confider.
mum would be for them to railed, whether, from
the abundance of evidence adJuce !. he was infine ;
if fo, they would find a verdia accordingly ; but if,
on the other hand, it would be for them to fay, whe.
thet he had been guilty of wilful murder, or kali&
able homicide ?

The Jury were of (Timm, that the prironer Nardi
was infane at tiv tine, and they acquitted Grandi.
agreeable to Aft of Parliament, will be
kept in cnolinement until his Majclty's plealure be
luowo.
