A shocking occtirtence took place on Thursday
at Melton House of Industry : a pauper, who had
been confined a considerable time as a lunatic, was,
from arpearances, recovering of his malady, and
• the usual restraint in consequence abated ; but soon
after he felt himself at liberty, he seized a knife, aid
plunged it into the breasts of three other invalids, one
•9f whom immediately expired. The other two lie in
a dangerous state.

The Major, it appears, had recovered from the slight

PREROGATIVE COURT, DOCTORS' COMMON%
HILLMAN W. DICKINSON AND °rums.
This wits a suit as to the validity of the will and
coda of John Hillman. Esq. late of Hampton.
Middlesex. deceased. He died on the '27th of Isla-
vember, 1813, and the will was dated cie Isth of
April, 1806, and regularly execut,d ; but the codicil,
which was written upon it, was without (lite or lig-
nature. Both were propounded on the part of Messrs.
Dickinson and Jacob; and opposed by Mr. Hillman,
clitiming.ss,a cousin-german, and next relative to the
'deceased. The evidence adduced went fully to prove
the due execution of the will, and that huh will and '
codicil were in the deceavd's hand-writing, but the
'latter remained sinfinished.
Sir JOHN NICHOL expressed himself fully satisfied
with the proof, as substantiating b ith instruments.
The codicil was written by the_ deceased on the will
itself, and its not being signed was no ground of in.
validity. It was complete as far as it went, and the
deceased might pet haps have intended to write more
when he had made up his mind to further additious.
Will and, codicil accordingly pronounced valid.
• COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER SS.
CRIMINAL 1141FORMATIoN.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved f(m a rule to skew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against Mr. Edward Frere, for a libel, and for vari-
ous attempts to provoke a respectable commercial
Gentleman, Wallace, to fight a duel.
The Gentleman on whose behalf lie made the apish..
cation, Staled in. his-affidavit, That in the latter' part'
of the list year, he received the following letter frs:nt •
& Fiera
h Whin we met Mr. Capper and the ether Gentlemen at the
aria Hotel, some dine ago, you thought proper to say, that I
was hurt besause you would nos notice me. I iota le no puttee...
Isempty,,becaase Mr. Potter was present, and he being a friend
W my family, would cause my father to interfere."
This expression, lb! ATTORNEY GENERAL observed,
very clearly pointed out the intention of Mr. Frets
in writing this letter. The letter went on thus
"As my father is new in Leaden, 1 have an opportunity of
Whig you, that when you made the assertion, you lied. Our
dispositions are so dissinillar, that all who know me must • he-
convinced that .1 do not wish for your acquaintance. My ow*
personal pride and the wishes of my friends, would always per..
vent my being the associate of Mr William Wallace."
In the month of October last, Mr. Frere me-t Mi.
Wallace- on horseback. He went up to hint', and
said,'“ Wallace, you are a liar and a scoundrel!"
Mr. Wallace rode on, and made no observation. On
the 23d of the same month, Mr. Wallace was going
into the Royal Hotel, at Birmingham. When .he
got into the passage, Mr. Frere came up (a person
of the name of Dolphin being present) and said,
66 Mr. Wallace, I tell you again, in presence or this
IGentleman, Mr. Dolphin, that you are a liar and a
scoundrel." Since that, a Gentleman informed Mr..
Wallace, that he had often heard Mr. Frere say.be:
would horsewhip him. Of course he could not make:,
an affidavit to that point. There were fearful odd ,
the Learned Attorney observed, between these tiro
Gentlemen. The . person against whom he moved
for an information was a young unmarried man, and.
he wrote the letter to a Gentleman fifty years of age*,
with a wife and six children.

- IMPORTANT CASE IN IRELAND.
:COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, NOVEMBULIR.
- • +sit XING V. WALTZ* O'GBADY. •
Mr. KRAIMIB stated the pleadings.. He Said that;
.this was• an information in the nature of a sinit.of
Qom Warranio, filed by his Majesty's Attorney Cabal.
.ral. It stated that the office of Clerk of the Maio Sit
.the Exchequer was an office of great ?ogle tresty
'and that the defendant, Walter O'Grady, bad usurped
that office with Out warrant, or authority. 'cc.,
The defendant's plea in substance.stated, that the.
office was an ancient public office, relating to. the
business of the Court of Exchequer—that, by km's
patent, the Right Hon. Standish O'Grady was .ap.
pointed Chief Baron of said• Court, with all and sin.
gular the powers and authorities belonging to- it; and
by virtue of said appointment, and by the usage end
course of. said Court, lie (the _Chief Baron) had is
right to the nomination and appointment of any proper •
person to Millie office of Clerk .of the Pleas. It' far.
ther stated die vacancy that had occurred, and' the
grant of the office by the said Standish O'Grady to
the said Walter O'Grady,and that the deed was dal,
enrolled. It also set out that the said Walter O'Grady
had produced the deed, containing his appointrnanti
to the Barons of the Court of Exchequer, and was
thereupon admitted to said office ;-that he took the
oaths, and has since exercised the duties of Clerk of
the Pleas—and he traversed the fact stated in the lien
formation, of having usurped the office, *Le; I*.
To this pleat oreplication was filed.on the.pariasit
the Crawtt, which stated, that from the time whediii
the memory of man rime& not to the cuntrArt, ;his
Majesty,. in right of his Crown, had. the tole andkrig
divided'right of appointment tb this office, etc.
were other averments in the replication, denying
the Chief Baron, by the custom and usage of -the
Court, was vested with the right of appointment to
the office. •To these were added a rejoinder and a
surrejeinder ; and the issue to be tried was, whethes:
be, the said Walter O'Grady, had usurped the'
fice, not being the appointee of the Crown, or was
legally entitled to exercise it, by virtue of the right'
he derived from the Chief Baron, and the rest of dye
Barons of the Court of lixchequer.
The Arroansy GILMIRAL stated at considerable
length the case on the part of the Crown.
Mr.lrowlissom then read the evidence given to 'at-
tain the information. It. consisted of certain records,
by which it appeared, that the Crown, by.its letters
patent,. had exercised the right of appointment to the
office of Clerk of the Pleas of 16 Court of Exche-
quer from the 41st year of the reign of his Present
Majesty, is the administration of Earl Hardwicitt'in
this eountry up•to •the 7th year of the reigwal,
ward 111, veer Fresco, and the 20th year of his reign
in England; or, in other words; from the year 1001
lop to the year 1346, thereby 'establishing an exercise
of the right in the Crown, for a period of 451 roars
