IltRTFORDSHIRE ANU BEDFOUDSHinE. 



Public sympathy has been feelingly 

 directed towards the case of an Irisli sur- 

 geon, aiady, and family in Hortfoidshire, 

 who, under a Coroner'.^ inquest, liave been 

 fully committed on a cliaitre of murder, 

 under very singular circumstances. A 

 writ for debt against the Surgeon, was 

 proposed to be executed by two London 

 bailiffs and an attorney, but the house 

 being closed, they proceeded to force it ! 

 Tiiis not bring the usage in civil cases, 

 Ihouph it seems the law dislingnishes be- 

 tween the protection of a man's own house, 

 and the house of another, resistance was 

 made, and one of the assailants receiving 

 a slight blow, he charged it as an 

 assault before the next Justice. On this, 

 the said Justice granted a warrant, swore 

 in special constables, and raised the 

 neighbourhood ; the ])osse proceeded 

 after dark to assail the mansion. The 

 outer door was now broken with a pick- 

 axe, on which it appears the Surgeon 

 fired a gun through the aperture, loaded 

 with small shot. These wounded a man 

 in the arm, amputation followed, and 

 lie died. A Jury of neighbours pro- 

 nounced a verdict of IVil/ul Murder, and 

 in consequence, the Surgeon, the lady of 

 the house, and several of the servants, are 

 detaincil in Hertiord goal for trial. The 

 result of this very extraordinary affair 

 is awaited by the public with anxiety, as 

 well as the result of the action for 

 damages, expected to be brought by the 

 owner of the mansion.
