House 6* Lord?.— Committee for Privileges.-^ Sua- 

 aex Peerage.— On Thursday, the committee assembled, the Earl of 

 Shaftesbury in the chair, to hear further evidence in support of 

 this case. Nearly all the judges and law lords were present The 

 first proceeding was the production of the patent of nobility to he 

 Duke of Sussex-. The grant was to his Royal Highness and the 

 heirs-male of his body, lawfully begotten and to be begotten. The 

 creation in the first instance was that of Earl of Inverness. It was 

 issued under the Great Seal of Great Britain. The dukedom of 

 Sussex was granted in like manner. Mr- Walker, who was comp- 

 troller of his Royal Highness's household, proved a document 

 dat«rd April 4, 171)3, to be in his handwriting The paper, which 

 was dated at Rome, and signed Augustus Frederick, was produced. 

 It was the paper read in the argument on the former day, as con- 

 stituting the sponaolia. It was as follows :— "As this paper is to 

 contain the mutual promise of marriage between Augustus Fre- 

 derick and Augusta Murray, our mutual names must be put here 

 by us both, and kept in my possession j it is a promise neither or 

 us can break, and is made before God our Creator and all-mer- 

 c ful lather. On my knees before God our Creator, I, Augustus 

 Frederick, promise thee, Augusta Murray, and swear upon the 

 Bible, as I ho for salvation in the world to come, that I will take 



un Monday evening:. However, he called upon One ot them ana 

 stated that he had himself been in the habit of taking pru-sic 

 acid, and had broken the bottle, but being anxious to be care- 

 ful with the remainder he had put it in a tumbler on the 

 drawers, and his wife had drank it in his absence by mistake. 

 It appeared, however, that he had written a letter to a friend in 

 the country giving a different account of her death. Much 

 additional evidence has been given, but the prisoner is still 

 remanded, and the result will not be known for some days. 

 The pri onei is a person of some literary pretensions, and has 

 published a book on Falconry. 



thee, Augusta Murray, for my wife; for better for worse; for 

 r r for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish 

 till death us do part ; to love but thee only and none other ; and 

 may God forget me if lever forget thee. The Lord's name be 

 praised! So bless me ! Fo bless us, O God ! And with my hand- 

 wi ig (!o I, Augustus Frederirk, this sign, March the 21st, 1793, 

 at Koine, and put my seal to it, and my name.— (l.s.) Auoustus 

 Frkokrick. (Completed at Rome, April 4th, 1793.)" Another 

 p iper, likewise In the Duke's handwriting, was put in. It was 

 the same In every respect but this, that the former had the words 

 "completed at Rome," whereas in this the phrase was " married 

 at Koine." Numerous letters wire then put in and read, after the 

 handwriting had been authenticated, in which the Duke of Sussex 

 constantly styled Lady Augusta Murray, the mother of the claim- 

 ant, as "my wife," and "my love." These letters were of the 

 Strangest character as compositions, filled with rhapsodies of his 

 affection, declaring that he would die, unless he married her im- 

 mediately ; and constantly reiterating the fact sought to be esta- 

 blished, viz., that he regarded her as his wife. Letters were also 

 produced, in which he addressed the claimant, Sir Augustus 

 D'Este, as "My dear son." Mr. Gunn, the son of the clergyman 

 who performed the ceremony, and others, were examined at great 

 length, and after a long discussion on the particular character of 

 the evidence to be admitted, their lordships postponed the further 

 hearing of the case to the 25th inst. 



Annandule Peerage Case.— Counsel were heard on Tuesday on 

 this case, after which the Lords gave judgment in the matter, de 

 clarng that, by the law of Scotland, the phrase " heirs-male" did 

 not mean, with regard to honours, what they would mean in a 

 similar case in En-land, heirs male of tl e body ; but meant heirs- 

 male general. Their lordships went into a very learned and 

 elaborate discussion of the rules of construction of grants of lands 

 and honours in Scotland, and found that, by those rules, the con- 

 struction now stated must be pat upon the first of the three p;. tents 

 granted in this case, and therefore overruled the others. The 

 effect of this judgment was, to extinguish the claims of all the 

 claimants, except that of Fred rick Johnstone, now a minor. The 

 committee then passed a resolution to this effect. 



Ckvtrai. Criminal Court.— The Buckingham Palace Case. 

 — Elizabeth Lindsay, aged 37, Ellen Lindsay, 33, and Dr. James 

 Lindsay, 60, surgeon in the navy, were charged, Elizabetn and 

 Ellen with stealing several blankets, sheets, counterpanes, and 

 linen, value 40/., the property of the Queen ; and James, their 

 brother, with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing 

 them toha\ebecn stolen. The Solicitor-General, in opening 

 the case, made a feeling allusion to the length of time which 

 the female prisoners had been in the service of the palace, but 

 was interrupted by the elder fainting. After some delay she 

 was sufficiently recovered to be again placed at the bar, where 

 both herself and her sister were accommodated with chairs. 

 The Solicitor-General then detailed the nature of the case, and 

 stated that they were charged with abstracting linen from the 

 Palace, of which the females were housekeepers, and taking it 

 to the male pri-oner, their brother, who lived near. The 

 defence proceeded on the ground that great part of the linen 

 belonged to the prisoners, and that the rest, marked with the 

 royal initials, had been given to them by the late Sir T. B. 

 Mash, Comptroller of the Household. Mr. Kelly, on behalf of 

 Dr. Lindsay, having been heard for the defence, Mr. Murchison, 

 Pre>i ent of the Royal Geographical Society, Mr. Stillwell, 

 navy agent, Mr. Hobber, clerk of the Admiralty, Mr. Dobey, 

 surgeon, R.N., and Mr. Slade. a member of the Stock Ex- 

 change, gave Dr. L'ndsay the highest prssible character. The 

 Solicitor-General replied, commencing by admitting that with 

 regard to the female prisoners there was not the slightest stain 

 upon their characters pror and up to the present transaction. 

 Mr. Baron Gurr.ey summed up the evidence, and the jury, 

 after three hours' consultation, returned a verdict, which the 

 foreman pronounced with very marked emphasis, of Not Guilty 

 in favour of all the pri-oners. The verdict was received with 

 cheers and clapping of hands. The Recorder said he would 

 commit any person making such an improper display. A jury 

 returning a verdict according to the evidence and their con- 

 sciences should not be either censured or applauded. On the 

 delivery of the verdict both the female prisoners fainted. 



Police, Bow-sthkkt.— Count Ostrowski, a P< lish exile, was 

 brought before the magistrates last week on the charge of using 

 violent and threatening language towards the Emperor of 

 Russia, and was held to bail, himself and two sureties, in large 

 ■urns for his future good behaviour. According to a statement 

 since published by the Count himself, it appears that on Monday 

 last Count Ostrowski called at his tailor's, Mr. Inkson's, in 

 Ryder-street, St. James's, and observing a pair of trousers of 

 rather striking appearance lying on the counter, he happened 

 to inquire for whom they were intended. He was informed 

 they had been ordered by the Emperor Nicholas; at which 

 Count Ostrowski expressed some surprise, and added, in a jo- 

 cular manner, that he should like to have the trying of them 

 on. Mr. Inkson, or his shopman, converted this remark into a 

 threat against the life of the Emperor; and it was on this accu- 

 sation that Count Ostrowski was arrested. He was some hours 

 in confinement before bail could be procured ; but as soon as 

 the required sureties were completed, he was at once liberated. 

 —A man named Oliver W.,t$h t a carpenter, from Dublin, has 

 been committed to prison, in default of bail, for sending a letter 

 to Sir R. Peel, threatening, if justice were not awarded him, 

 that he would «' leave some of the authorities in Ireland as sad a 

 tale to brood over as ever the family of Mr. Drummond had." 

 He is supposed to be insane.— A mysterious case is now under 

 consideration at the Thames-street Police-office and before the 

 Coroner's Court, Mr. James Cnckbum Delaney, asurgeon, being 

 charged with wilful murder, in causing the death of his wife, 

 Mrs. Rachel lielaney. by administering to her prussic acid. 

 The case has been reported at great length, but the main facts 

 are, that the deceased lady and her husband had come to town 

 from Westmorland, and taken lodgings in Stepney. The lady, 

 a woman of great personal attractions, to whom the prisoner 

 was affectionately attached, was far advanced in pregnancy, 

 but in perfect health ; when on Saturday she was taken suddenly 

 ill, and died in a few hours. The body was examined, and 

 prussic acid ascertained to be the cause of death, but the 



SPORTING. 



Ascot Races.— The stewards of these Races held a meeting 

 on Friday, when John Day's objections to Bloodstone, the 

 winnei of the New Stakes, were gone into. They were three 

 in number, viz., that he is more than two years old ; that his 

 owner, or part owner, is in arrear for stakes ; and that his 

 nomination is wrong as to pedigree. The whole case turned 

 upon the first point ; and Messrs. Field and Parry, veterinary 

 surgeons, having, on examination of his mouth, unhesitatingly 

 given an opinion that he is three years old (Old England 

 having also been inspected by them, and pronounced to have 

 a two-year-old mouth), the stewards awarded the stakes to 

 John Day. They went into the evidence with regard to the 

 instructions given by Mr. J. Newman, and passed a resolution 

 that Mr. Newman was proved to have given orders to Bell to 

 lose the race, and that the latter's conduct, first in mentioning 

 the circumstance to his master (Planner), and afterwards in 

 riding to win, was highly creditable to him. The consequence 

 of the decision as to the age is, that the bets, as well as the 

 stakes, go with Old England. It has since, however, been 

 announced that Mr. F. Herbert, the owner of Bloodstone, has 

 commenced proceedings against the stakeholders for the re- 

 covery of the New Stakes, those who had bets on the race 

 having paid aud received in accordance with the decision of the 

 stewards.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS, 



TTHE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD, are 



A- now established as the only certain cure of disease in 

 the human frame. Sufficient has already been advertised in 

 the public prints to convince any reasonable person that the 

 efficacy of this Medicine is unbounded, and that every disease 

 will soon vanish from the effects of this popular remedy. Al- I 

 ready the Proprietors have received and published 26 different 

 sheets of Testimonials; and, besides, have received some thou- 

 sands of letters confirming all the statements published, and 

 proving the immense benefit derived by all classes by taking 

 Parr's Life Pills. Testimonials are received daily, and it 

 would be impossible in a newspaper to publish one-half re- 

 ceived ; and the following are selected as people well known in 

 their respective neighbourhoods, and whose testimony is un- 

 questionable. Further sheets of Testimonials may be had, 

 gratis, of all Agents. 



IMPORTANT TESTIMONY of an old Man in his 77th year, 

 received by Messrs. Mottershead and Co., Manchester, 

 and forwarded to the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. 

 I, THOMAS BARLOW, gratefully testify to the great 

 benefit I have derived by taking Park's Life Pills. I had 

 been out of health for many years ; sometimes unable to work, 

 and on the sick club. I had a bad complaint at the stomach, 

 with a violent cough, and at various times was under different 

 medical men, including the noted Dr. Newbold of the Chorlton 

 Dispensary ; but my case seemed hopeless, as they none of 

 them could cure, or give me much relief, and I had no hopes 

 left of being better on this side the grave; however, quite 

 unexpected, the deliverer came at last (Old Parr's Recipe). I 

 got a box of his Pdls and found immediate benefit from the first 

 box, and ontinued them for several months with increased good 

 until this time, and now I feel myself wonderfully well, and am 

 strong in body, have a good appetite, and though in my 77th 

 year, I am able to get my own living in the employ of Mr. Mee, 

 farmer, Withington, (as a farm labourer.) I am satisfied that 

 my recovery is to be ascribed entirely to the restorative quali- 

 ties of Parr's Life Pills, and as a proof of my great age, 

 subjoined is a copy of my baptismal register.
