any other servant. Recollects-Sedhs,reftising to sign
a paper at the Duke's request, but that he did sizn it
a fterwarthothest the Duke direatened Lodi sclarge him.
Hehashieard deceased say several things against Neale.
On one occasion, he heard him. say, 46 that be must
speak to him in the way of business,but 'bathe never..
viola be friendly with a Titan who had used him so
Bome years ago the deceased used W ride in
: the carriagewith his Royal Highness, but when the
box was made, he was obliged to sit on the diCky.box,
of. which he complained very much.; he said it shook
him, and that he ought to be allowe: to ride-inside;
like_the Prince of Wales's page. He had likewise
renewed that complaint lately, when Le was nut-al-
lowed to sit inside.
Serjear.t TitostAs DavcarllALL corroborated the
testimony of Seijcant Creighton, and said that a pri-
vAte, of the name of Creevey, was the first who en-
teted the deceased's room : the men with him, went
with their bayonets fixed, expecting to meet a gang
of robbers.

JOHN ,CneavnY, a private in the Coldstream regi•
ment of Guards, said, that the servant who carried
the candle to shew them to the room, was in such
agitation that he dropped, but the witness caught it
up, and prevented it from going out. Atter seeing
Se;llis's throaticut, and hen-.ng robbers were in the
house, he lookedundet the bed. He did not see a coat
in the room (which is very small) although time was
a blue one belonging to Seillis with blood on the
left cuff, and blood on the left side. He observed
a wash-hand bacon with blood on the sides arid blood
in some water. The deceased did not app,•ar to have
struggled with any one ; his bead was 'against his
watch at the head of the bed

John Probert and John Windsor, two privates in
the Guards, were on duty, opposite the Duke's house,
at the time of the alarm, and were positive no person
went out of the house sifter the alarm was given.
A servant of the Duke of Sussex deposed, that the
deceased often told bins, tha: if he could get another
place he would leave the Duke of Cumberland, as he
allowed him but little wages; and Neale was allowed
all the perquisites, althotivh he could swear that he
robbed hi 3 master. He said also, that he was used
very ill, and it Neale was away his situation v.oiild be
Afuch better. 'lbis consitteation took place about a
year and a half ag Seillis 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 .tgo
but the witnesi said, .‘ Good GOD! you must mind
your family."
A copy of a letter was read, which was addressed
to his RoyAl Highness by the deceased. It was d:tted
in r'(;8, iitS4 accused Neale of rubbing his Royal
Highness.
Another letter was found; the contents of which
were, that the deceased felt very much hurt that he
was not permitted to ride in the carriage, as the
Prince of Wales permitted his page to ride in his car-

riage.
James PAULET said he was a native of Germany
and one of the Duke's valets. Mrs. Neale first alar-
med him at a little before three o'clock, by knocking
at his door, and saying the Duke was murdered. He
immediately jumped out of bed, and repaired to the
Duke's room, where he found Neale supporting his
Royal Highness. The Duke exclaimed, 46 I coin mur
dered, and the murderer is in the room." Mr. Neale
wanted to leave the Duke to search for the assassin,
but his Royal Highness would not permit any of his
servants to leave him, but wished that Seillis might be
informed of his situation, in order that he might come
to his assistance. The Duke was soon informed that
Seillis was murdered, or had killed himself. The
Duke appeared very anxious for the safety of Seillis,
and as soon as Surgeon Home had dressed his wounds,
he sent him to attend to Seillis. Mr. Home soon re-
turned, and said there was nn doubt but the man had
killed himself. At this time there were three lights in
the room, and the Duke, from the loss of blond, began
to get very weak, and lay down on the bed. Neale ttien
proceeded to search the room, but could lind nothing
except the sword, which lay in the door-way. He
then, with the Other valet, proceeded into the outer
closet, and inspected tht different inner closets, in one
of which he found two bolsters, the scebbard belong-
, ing to the sword which had been found in the bed.
room, a dark lanthorn, a pair of old slippers, with
Seillis's name written on the inside of them, and a
pint bottle of water. The witness said that Seillis had
frequently cautioned him to place no confidence in
Neale, that he was a bad man. He complained to
him of the Puke's making him ride in the
as it shook him much, and riding backwards made
him ill; Seillis, however, had the carriage altered
to go easier, without -asking the Duke's leave, at
Windsor, and he had appeared content with it ever
since. The ground for his saying Neale robbed the
Duke, was, he was seen wearing the Duke's clothes.
Seillis made a charge against him at Bow-street Office,
eight or nine months since, but not being able to prove
it, he had been inveterate against hitt) ever since. Sell.
Ii s often talked about leaving the Du ke'eservice, sa y '
he could not remain in the family if Neale did He
urged him,to the ceatrary, reminding him how kind the
Duke was to him and his family. He also said that Seil-
lis very obstinate, and never would give tip a
single point of his opinion, however wrong, not even
to the Duke himself. He further 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 friendly terms
with Neale.
FERDINAND Buzzin, an Italian, deposed, that he
had Itnown Seillis for 14 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 determined to
leave the Duke ; upon which tie remonstrated with
him, and hoped he would consider his family if he
did not himself. Since that time the deceased never
mentioned any thing more on that, subject to the
witness.
The Jury now adjourned to view the Duke's bed-
chamber. It had been carefully sealed up, so that
every thing remained exactly in the same state in
which his Royal Highness had left it, the bed, the
dressing.table, the very water in which his wounds
were washed, remained undisturbed. On a chair
beside the bed, lay the night-clothes the Duke bad on
when he was attacked. His shirt was literally steeped
io blood. Two cotton night-caps which he had La.
and a thickly-wiuklal blue silk bitadaga with which

thty Witte fastened, Were tut cedtpTetely thrlugfi wits ; tOiiDait

stood r

of the sabre. The assassin seemed to have
. tether back towards the head of the bed, which
was plested.in a small recess, in order to avoid disco-
very, and was therefore obliged to strike down at the
Duke's head in a slanting direction; in consequence
of which, the cm tains which- hung from the top, Ina
peded the :action If the sword, add to this alone can
his Royal Highness's preservation be imeuted—seve-
til of the tassels of the curtain were cut off. The
sword was s large military sabre of the Duke's, and
had been lately sharpenech The whole edge appeared
hacked and blunted with the force of die blows. His
Royal Highness's shirt was cut through in several
places, and a great splinter was shivered from the
_door thrmigh which he made his escape. Adioiiiing
the room itself, and communicating with it, is the lit-
tle closet wleee the murderer secreted himself. 'there
is in this closet a small pressiein which the bolsters
were usually put, and in which he hid himself, as the
scabbard of the sabre was found in it.
After having inspected this room, the Jury pro-
ceeded to that of Seillis, and there a most frightful'
spectacle, presented itself. On she door being opened,
the body of the murderer became visible, It ley on
a bed of matted blood, in half erect posture, livid,
and loathsome. A horrid gash extended from ear
to car ; :he under-jaw almost dropped, and over all
the features the distortion of pain was visible, appa•
ready straggling with the ghastly composure of
death. The razor, with which the fatal deed was
perpetrated, lay near hint on a chest of &ewers.—
f he hack of his head reclined upon hi-. watch, wh,ch
was suspended from the head of the bed ; and a
bevel of blood and water was on the table beaide
him. His meat, almost cut to pieces, was found s
beside the razor. He was a little sallow man, whose
features retained some regularity, even amid the-
ccnvision into which they were distorted. He had
on his Mee cleth pantaloons, on which his hands, all
smeared and stiff with blood, were extended, and his
grey worsted so ickings, but no shoes. We had only
time .3 make these remarks in a small room, where
six people could scarce stand without coming in con-
tact with the corpse, already in a state of corruption.
Seillis appeared to have been left-handed.
Mrs. HANNAH SRILLLS the widow of the deceased.
was next called in. She was extremely egitet ;
and though it was probably the intention of the Co-
roner and the Jury to have examined her minutely,
they were satisfied with her acknowledging the de-
position which she had made before the Magistrate.
The deposition was read' over to her, and she stated
that it was the evidence she had before given. It
I was to she following • ffect :—" That the deceased had
passed nearly the whole of Wedneolay in her com-
pany : that he went to the market, and afterwards
- walked with her in the Park, when he said he should
sleep that night in the Duke's apartments. She verily
believed he had shoes or gaiters on at that time, and
ewe s.lippeis. He had a severe cold lately, but this
week he Was more theerful than lie had been for some
time before. He had remarked to her not long since,
that death was a debt all sooner or later must ray,
bat did not thin!: that he then had any particular
intention in his mind. She ..never heard him corn-
plain of the treatment which he received from his
Royal Highness, but, on the contrary, was highly
grazitied by the kiudness he and other branches of the
Royal Family slimed him, particularly the present
of muslin which witness received from the Queen,
and Princess Augusta standing gndmothcr to his
child. He was not embarrassed in his circumstances,
for she did not know of any debt he owed, Nut one to
the apothecary. Since the birth of their last child,
ab .ut eight months a.go, he never spent an evening
out, bet always with his-family, when not employed
with the Duke. He belonged to no club or so-
ciety. During his illness he was sometimes giddy,
bet never took the medicines that were prescribed
Nina by the Surgeon, saying that tegular living was
the best medicine. He sometimes talked of leaving
the Duke's service, on account of his disputes with
Neale ; but she remonstrated with him on his impru-
dence in entertaining such a •wisli, when they had a
good house, and plenty of coals and candles besides,
allowed to them.- This subject WAS not mentioned
within the last two years. After supper,--on Wed-
nesday, he mixed a glass of brandy and water, which
he made her drink, as she was troubled with spasms
in the stomach. He partook a little of it, shook hands,
and wished her a good night. and she never saw him
more cheerful. He took some clean linen aw ay with
him, and said be would bring home the dirty linen on
the following morning. She said he was a tender fa-
ther
and an affectionate husband.
Mimes JONES, surgeon and apothecary, of the
Sneed, said he had attended the Duke of Cumber-
land's family since the year 1801 He. knew the de-
ceased well—lie never saw him in a low or despond-
ing way. The last time he had seen him was on
Monday evening ; he observed he was not very well,
from a cold. He had seen him n the Sunday pre-
vions, when he was very anxious for the state of his
child, having lately lust one. On Tuesday the
child got batter. Ile observed nothing particular
about him for six weeks past, when he complained of
a pain of 11;s chest. He never complained to him
of bar-it treatment from the Duke. He attended him
four or five years since, for a pain in his chest, which,
he said, was brought on by riding on horseback. He
undetstood he lived very happy with his wile. His
wife told him it was of po use his sending physic for!
the pain in his chest, for he would not take it ; he'
nev:r observed any symptoms of derangement in him.
The Inquest assembled at two o'clock, at thel
Duke of CUMBERLAND'S house, in St. James's Palace,
before Adams, Esq. the Coroner of the verge.
The Jury were sworn about half past three, after
which Mr. Antes addressed them in a speech which I
we have already detailed.
Proclamation was then made by Mr. Skelton, the
Marshalman for the King, to inquire into the cause
of the death of Joseph Seillis. •
The evidence was not concluded till half after ten.
The JURY continued in deliberation near' y an hour
and a half, and finally, about twelve o'clock, returned
