ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.  As many of our readers may possibly be unacquainted wi. the locality of the scene of the tragical event, it may be as well to state that Norfolk-street is a small street, containing 31 houses, numbering from south to north, between Parklane and Park-street,. Grosvenor-square, each of its terminations being a mews, that at the south end being called Wood's Mews, and that on the north called North-row, which nearly abuts on the rear of the houses on the south side of Oxford-street.._ Norfolk-street is crossed by Green-street, which runs from St. Mark's Church. in North Audley-street, into Park-lane. The whole of the houses in Norfolk-street are inhabited by families connected with the aristocracy, and that of •his late lordship (No. 14) is situate between Greenstreet and North-row, the back being towards Park-street. Between that street and the residence of the deceased is, howeve'r, a mews, called. Ham-yard, the area of which comprises a square of about 80 yards, the only means of ingress and egress to which is• by an archway situated between the houses Nos. 6 and 7 in North-row';' but that mews contains no stables which communicate' with, or belong to, the house of the late lord, which, viewed from. Ham-yard, is situate behind 'the south-west ,corner. From a careful examination of the house yesterday, it pavedapg7wrdhiirstthoearetahre, northhaving a and tpheearhsact that ta twhaelrle aibsoau tsq3tlliarfe eethih south sides are the walls of the yards of the houses adjoining on either side, each of which is about ten or twelve feet high. ted with coping stones ; and a few whitewash, are surmounted The tops of the walls, which have been thickly coated with lad any to prevent rain from running down the walls, and inches below them are layers of slates, in a slanting position, would have been persons obtained entrance to the premises by the rear of the house, or made their escape that way, it quite impossible for them to have done so without scratching or defacing the walls, or breaking the slates _ any marks, above described. There is, however, not the slightest appearance of and the inmates of Ham-yard declare it to be an impossibility for any person to scale the roofs of the stables (which are all surmounted by lofts, and inhabited) without being seen or heard. The back area, in which is the door by which the perpetrators of the murder are stated to have entered, is on the right hand side of the yard, and is so situate that it cannot be seen from above, and there is no doubt that the marks of violence which have been already described as appearing on it have been caused from the inside, and not from the outside, or at least after the door was opened, and it appears evident that the hasp or catch of the bolt was forced off from the inside, also whilst the door was open. His lordship's chamber, it has already been stated, was the front room on the second floor. It has three windows, and the bed is placed with the head to the north side of the room, between the door and windows. From the position of the bed it is evident that any person, on opening the door of had passed the bed and advanced to the side the room, could not see who was in the bed, or their condition,edswailtheyd.
