An inquest was held at four o'clock yesterday after-
noon, by ILMNIET, Esq, at the Red Lion at
Putney, on the body of GEORGE PAYNE, Esq. a Gen-
tleman who resided in Northamptonshire, and who
died on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, in con-
sequence of a wound he had received in a duel on
Wimbledon Common, but of the circumstances of
which iu evidence whatever could be produced to the
Jury.—The Jury returned a verdict of nviffal murder
against some person or parsons unknown, supposed to
be a pistol shot.
It is not our practice to aggravate the affliction of
a family, by the exposure of circumstances that may
have led to their distress, but in this instance conceal-
ment is impossible, as Mr. CLARK, one of the par-
ties implicated in the duel, must take his trial.—
Mr. PAYNE was the younger son of the late RENE
PAYNE, Esq. and lge left him his fortune, to the
amount of 814,000 a year.
,In that settlement, by
which the whole goes now to the eldest son of G eon.*
PAYNE, except £5OO a year to his widow, and £lO,OOO
to his younger children. Mr. PAYNE has left four
children by his amiable wife, who was a Miss GRAY.
The cause of the fatal duel is truly melancholy. The
challenge took place, indeed, ten days ago, at Sear-
borough, but the quarrel was of a more distant date.
The orphan daughter of the late Dr. CLARK, of
Newcastle, was the friend of Mrs. PAYNE, and a visi-
tor in the family. An unfortunate attachment took
place between Mr. PAYNE and Miss CLARK, and
transpired, which the irritated feelings of the brother
forced him to resent. Every means were tried by
Mr. JOHN PAYNE, the elder brother of the deceased, to
avert the catastrophe, but in vain. Mr. GEORGE
PAYNE was most exemplary in all his conduct through
life, except in this fatal attachment. He was a most
liberal and a most amiable man. He had whispered
to his second, Mr. ABBOTT, that be should not return
Mr. CLARK'S fire ; but the first shot was mortal.
Late on Thursday evening an inquest was held
before Tnostas SHELTON, Esq. at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, on view of the body of Ann Griffin, who
died in consequence of wounds inflicted on her at her
apartments, in Onslow-street, Saffron-hill, early on
Wednesday morniug last, by her husband, Richard
Griffin. It appeared in evidence that, on the preced-
ing Monday the deceased had absented herself from
home during the whole of the night, and that search
was made for her during the greater part of Tuesday,
till about half past five o'clock, by her husband,
his brother, and the brother's wife, when passing
the end of Charter-house-lane, Smithfield, they met
the deceased. They after wards went to a house in
Long-lane, where they had some porter and sheep's-
heads for supper, and during the time they were there
the deceased was observed to be very familiar with
some young lads in the room, which so irritated her
husbalid, that he threw the bone of a sheep'shead at
her and gave her a black-eye. They then avetlt to
Richard Griffin's lodgings, where he and his wife
laid down on the bed. In a few minutes Richard
Griffin got up and went hastily out of the room, say-
ing " I have done it ;" and it was almost immediately
discovered that her throat was cut.
