entire ignorance OF the laws of Eng
land, made Mr.. Herby immediately
submit to crafty the avarice Of the
old man, who stipulated for life
annuity for himself, his wife, and his
daughter. This adventure unfortu-
nately transpiring, through the jeal-
ousy, uneasiness, and discomfort of
his other wives, Mr.. Herby, to quiet
those fears, which now interrupted
his domestic happiness, compromised
matters in pecuniary way with the
relations of his other wives so that
now he had twelve wives and all
their relations to provide for. The
tranquility Of his little seraglio be-
ing thus restored, he pursued his
usual course of life for some time,
without any appearance Of future mo-
lestation.
But on the 5th of May, 1874, one
of the varlets going into his masters
chamber at his usual hour of rising,
found in his bed only bloody car
case, without Il head and one of
rs wives lay murdered by his side,
with rumber of wounds, which ap-
peared to be the stabs Of poignard.
The screams Of the varlet soon
brought the other women and domes-
into the apartment, whose horrid con-
sternation cannot be expressed. Two
of the Turkish domestics were miss
ing, and never heard Of afterwards
all the cabinets We're found broke
open, and the treasures carried away,
not so much as "A jewel being left
but what was in the women's apart
ments, and had been long since given
to them.
AS soon as the officers of Justice
arrived, the following circumstances
We're given in evidence to the Jury
who sat on the bodies, by the Turks
who came with their late master to
England.
The real name Of the pertcn:ed
Mr.. Herby was Cidal Achnet, Il ma
tive Of Constantinople, Of illus;ro,,S
decent, and in high favor with the
Grand Signior; but having aspired
to marry the Grand Signior's only
daughter, the Sultan banished him,
and gave her to the old Bashaw of
Cairo. But the Sulsana having con-
ceived a reciprocal passion for Ach-
met, held secret correspondence
with him, and at last found means to
escape from her husband, taking with
her Immense treasures belonging to
he: father and the Bashaw. Fortune
favored their retreat to Venice, where
they lived very happily till the Sui
tana died, when Aclmet, fearing he
was TOO near the Grand Signior, and
having no longer a meditatrix to APP
pease his vengence, embarked with
his effects in Il vessel bound to Lon
don.
The carrying off the head, and the
absconding of the Turks, left no more
room to doubt, that the Grand Sign
or and the Rashaw had pcrpetrat, d
his murder by their agents; and on
making furtherinquirirs', some Turks,
merchants in London. gave the govern
nent intelligence, that three Turks
,ad arrived about Il month before
his event: with whom they had sevc-
al conversations; thata they could
gather from them was, that they were
.harged with an important secret
commission, and they We're very care
i'll to procure Il list on their arrival of
I'll the Turks in London. 1t was
ound out that these three men, in
ompany with two others, left En-
Gland, and embarked for Holland, the
cry day Achmet was found murder
ID. And as it is the practice of the
