Neale. Housekeeper to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum:
becloud :
Who, Ireing upon oath, saith, that she was call-
''cd up this morning, about three o'clock, by her
husband, and at the same time heard his Royal

Highness exclaim that he had been murdered. Upon
going into Mr. Neale's room (called the page's
room) she found his-Royal Highness blecdhg very
much. Mr. Neale was with him. His Royal High-
ness desired her to call the servants, and after his

Royal lligline,s had got back to his bed-room, she
went and called Jose') Sellis at his room door, but

no one answered ; the door was fast. The porter was
with her and tried to open it, but could not. He thun
knocked very violently at the door, but no one an-
swered. She then tried to open the door of the yel-

low room, leading to thc ball room, but could not
open it, and found afterwards that the door wets bolt-
ed withinside, which she never knew it to be below..
Informant with, that she then returned by the ball-

room through the yellow room, and throng!) the
summer rooms, to get at Seilis!s room the o: her way.,
and thinks five or s;it militays had elapsed since they
tried at the first door,
and just as she gait to the bed-
room door site liewd a gurgiing of noise, like
water in a man's throat, and heard a dr pining on the
floor like water, and the porter i-oked into toe room,
and exclaimed, « G..od Gon !• Mr.liis hAs cut his

Informant wither s.tith, that she has known 1-
seph Sellis for near twAre years, and for t',c fire
'years he has lived in his Royal Highness's wrvic, ;
says that I,e was etry bstinate and widrrelsorne, an 6
would nor bear contraaiciitin, not even tr,art

Royal Highness, and would never acknowledge him-
self in fault. Htd observed nothing pirticul.tr in his
deportment lately. He had been ill for three weeks
or a month eta violent cold, but was getting the bet-
ter of it. Informant says,that his Royal Highness bad
been very kind to him, and about a week or ten da)s
ago had permuted him to go within the carriage,
instead of riding on the outwit'. , which he had been
accustomed to do. She has no reason to believe that
he had any giudge to his Royal highness - that du-
ring his illness his Royal Highness permitted him to
go to bed hive id of sitting up for him, which it was
his pllce to do every third night. That during the
last four or five years his Royatl Highness had allow.
ed his wife and family to live in the house, with an
allowance of coals and cand.es. That (after the birth
of the last child) about three months ago, his Royal
Highness and the Princess Augusta stood for the
christening by rroxi,.., and she has heard Sellis say,
that the Queen hail mule him a present of two piece-
of India muslin. and tilt the Princess Augnsta had
also given him a piece, with several other presents for
the child's baptism. Into' mant said', that the Duke
of Combo land was very partial to Sellis, and always
had him to travel with biro. S tys that he lived very
much to himself;;and was very distant with all his
Royal Highness's other servants. llis principal ac..l
quaintances were. a Nlr. Greville, page to the Duke of
Cambridge ; and a Mr. and Mrs. Dupre, wax chand-
ler,
in Jermyn-street. Mrs. Dupre was Mrs. Sellis's,
confidential friend. Int'irm.int says, that there are a
pair of green doors across the gallery, which sepa-
rates his Ro):d Highness's apartments from the
Queen's Public Rooms, which are always kept locked,
of which she has the key ; but there was another key,
which Sellis had, and which he informed her his
Royal Highness had permitted him to get made, in
order that he might pass from his Royal Highness's
apartments to where his wife lived without going out
of doors, and that he must have passed that way yes-
terday. Informant further says, that in passing
through the ball-room and the yellow room adjoining,
she found the upper part of the widow-slooters open
in the ball-room, the yellow room adjoining, and one
in the spare bed-room, which were usually stint at

door of Sellis's room. Informant sars he called

same time with !the sword he had in his hand, but no

be there; informant says he was then sent to Sellis's
wife's apartmentii and one of his children answered
that, he was sleeping in the house, meaning the Duke's
private apartments. • He then went round with Mr.
Neale and the yaw through the. drawing4oom and
