The jury immediately returned, 
that they were of opinion that no 
such law did exist which would 
authorise the defendant in inflicting 
the torture, in consequence of which 
general Picton was found guilty of 
every charge.

2nd. A melancholy accident haps 
pened on the road between Exeter 
and Exmouth, at that part where 
the roads from Clyst 4nd Newcourt, 
join that between ‘Topsham and 
Topsham bridge. As lieutenant-co-

with great fury, threw his rider with 
such force, thatit fractured his skull 
most dreadfully, and killed him on 
the spot. Medical assistance was

son of John Bagwell, esq. member 
of parliament for the county of 
Tipperary, and brother to the re- 
presentative in parliament for the 
borough of Clonmell in Ireland.
