CORONER'S INcr.Tl .tiT.

- -
Yesterday, an inquest was held in the apartments
of his Royal Highness, on the body of Joseph Seillir,
the Italian servant who attempted his assassination.
The following detail of the evidence on the Coro-
ner's Inquest, comprizes all- the particulars of the
attempt made upon the lifts of his Royal

supposed motives, of the assass:ll :

fore them to the witnesses, who should have the
power of snaking any add;tions or alterations which
they might choose. He also stated, they would have
'an opportunity of inspecting ,the bedchamber in
which his Royal Highness had slept on the night of
the attempt, and the body of Seillis, the supposed as-
sassin, just as it had been found by those who had
first discovered it. •

The first deposition read was that of his Royal
Highness himself. He stated, that he had been awa-
kened, about three o'clock on Thursday morning, by
two violent blows on the head, which were immedi.
ately after .vards followed by two others, accompani-
ed by a hissing kind of noise. From this circum-
stance, his first conclusion was that a bat had by some
means or other entered his room. There was a lamp
and taper burning in the chamber, and by its glimmer-
ing light, and The motion ot the instrument thatinflict-
ed the wounds, he perceived a letter which lay upon his
table completely covered with blood. This immediately
struck him with the idea that there was a murderer
in the room, and he accordingly struggled as quickly
as he could out of bed. At this moment a naked
sabre was dropt upon the floor, and he perceived the
figure of a man flying into the yellow room and esca-
ping on towards the apartment in which Seillis slept.
He went down stairs, aroused his page, and gave the
alarm, through th 6 house, of murderers. On return-
ing up stairs, he found that the sword which had been
dropped was his own regimental sabre, and also found
a pair of slippers belonging to Seillik in the closet ad-
joining his bed-room, and the key of the door on the
closet side of it, a thing very unusual. There was
also,in the closet a dark lanthorn, which he had rea-
son to believe was left there by Seillis. Seillis was
one of his own valets, and had never incurred -his
displeasure, nor could he imagine any motive likely
to prompt him to this extraordinary attempt.
The examinations of the mho; witnesses, which had
been previously taken before Mr. READ and other
Magistrates were here read, but as they were called
in and personally examined upon every point that came
within their knowledge, we shall, therefore, detail the
evidence given before the Jury, which includes all that
appeared in the depositions.
CHRISTOPHER Nanta, one of Ms Royal Highness's
pages, deposed :—That he slept in a room which was
separated from the Duke's only by a thin partition ;
on Thursday morning he was awakened about three
o'clock by the Duke's voice, crying out, several times,
Neale, lam murdered." He instantly stalled up,
and the Duke told him to take care, as the murderers
were in his bed-room. The Duke was in his shirt,
all covered-over with bloood. He (Neale) immedi-
ately seized the poker, and as he proceeded onwards
towards the door of the yellow room which was open,
lie trod upon a naked sword, which was reeking with
blood. He took it up, and asked the Duke's permis-
sion to pursue the murderer.. The Duke answered,
44 No, no, Neale, for Gores sake, do not go trom me,-
or leave me alone, as there are more of them in it."
The Duke then leaned on his arm, Anil they went
down stairs together. The porter was by this time
roused, and the Duke directed him to locc the doors,
and allow no person to leave the-House. They then
met Mrs. Neale, whom the Duke directed to go and
alarm Scthis. After this, they re“ancJ ro the 14 k"'4
