" Who' is there?" .(( knew hla voice.) Grainge'
said, it It is the constable of Shenley pa,-ish, and I
have got a warrant for you, and must enter the
house." Dr. Connolly said be would shoot the first man
who entered. Grainge read the warrant; Dr. Connolly
asked • him to put it tinder the door, which Grange r..fnsed
to do. Grainge and his brother than began to break tier
tour open, and the shot was tired. I can't sty by whom,
nor do I think any man can; it might be the Doctor, or it
mizlit be his man. I knew the Doctor's voice when he said,
if any one attempts to come in shoot them ;" he said so
all the evening. I was close to Grainge when the shot was
fired. 1 saw the hole in the door. In about five or ten minutes
I was passing the door, and he fired at sae ; the shot was fired
from the same door as the first ; no shot was fired from any
other place. When I saw the gun I stepped back ; I could not
see the man who pointed the gun, nor did I see the candles ;
there was a light in the room ; the split in the shutters was not
large. I could not see whether the gun was fired by a man or
a woman. I know Mr. Connolly, I saw him in one room and a
servant io another. I can't swear the servant is his servni.t or
not. 1 saw a maid servant and Mrs. Brown. Some persons
from the outside spoke 0 Mrs. Brown through the windows,
after which the Rev. Mr. Newcome promised that if Doctor
Connolly would surrender to him, no man should hurt him;
and the Dr. did surrender himself to that Magistrate. I know
nothing more.--I don't know how the back window fame
broke. I was never employed et Robley House, nor did I
ever speak to Dr. Connolly before that day. I don't think there
was any shot in the g ton fired at me.
Ttvo other witnesses were examined, and corroborated ge-
nerally the statements already given. The Inquest was then
adjourned to Monday.
During the absence of the Jury on their going to see the body
end to view Robley House, a subscription was opened for the
relief of the willow, to which there were several liberal con-
tributions. The Usgistrates present all gave 5/. each, Captain
Nestor had previously sent 51. to the widow, and there were a
great many smaller sums added. Before the close of the day
nearly 40/. had been collected, and n 3 doubt this sum will be
greatly increased.
" The crime, it appears, was committed in the parish of Ridge,
in the liberty of St. Ailtan's ; hut death did not ensue 111 the
man was in the parish of Shenley. In this stale of things a
difficulty arises as to which parish the Coroner will hind over
to prosecute. It is believed, however, the teak will fall on the
parish of Ridge. The names of the prisoners committed are,
Patrick Connolly, Elizabeth Brown, Amelia Morgan, Hugh
Moran, and Edward Travers.

-
the new season, but the last of the preceding tine, hawing
been detained an unusual time on the /clay' and with
this plea the Viceroy professed himself satisfied. In the
beginning of Angnet, however, before the Thames had
cleared with her csrgo, the Bombay, wh'cb was in reality
the first ship of the new season, arrived in the river at
Canton, when the appliration was repeated, and ttiet with
a reply so little satisfactory, that there wss no prohahility
that the Bombay wall I be perin;tted to take in her cargo.
It do -s n it appear that the trifle was actually stopped, the
Bombay having proceeded from Macao to make the ex-
periment, and the result .not being' known. The other
ships which had arrived subsequently to the Bombay,
were waiting at Macao until it was ascertained what
course was adopted by the Viceroy, with raspect to that
ship. The most violent conduct on his psrt was ap-
prehended, and it was reported that the whole of the Hong,
or security merchant•, had been sent to Pekin to answer
for the omission of the expected redress, by the British
fitovernmen►. This intelligence caused some sensation
in the city on Saturday, isod India Stock fell kletween 2
and 3 per cent.
