“On Th hee the oth, a General Court of 
the Proprietors of the Bank of England was 
held to confider of the propriety of advancing 
three millions flerling to Government, for fix 
years, without intereft, in confideration of the 
renewal of théir charter. The propofition was 
oppoled principally by Mefirs. Hoare, Sanfom, 
and Durant, and fupported by Lord Kinnaird, 
and Mefirs. Brandon and Dent, On the quef- 
tion being put, it was carried in the affirma- 
tive without a divifion. 
On Thurfday the roth Mr. Abbott, a 
broker, in Kingfland-road, went from his 
houfe about eleven o’clock in the morning, 
with an intention of attending a fale in the 
neighbourhood of Finfbury-fquare, whence it 
appears he fhortly returned home, and found 
his wife murdered! Her head was literally 
beat to pieces by a mallet, which lay by her; 
and her left ear was completely torn off ; not- 
withftanding which fhe lived in a {peechlefs 
ftate till the enfuing Saturday, when fhe died ; 
without having been able to afford a fingle 
trace of difcovery. From the circumftances 
above ftated, sit was thought necefiary to 
carry the hufband before the Inqueft, and from 
their report it was further judged expedient 
that an inveftigation fhould take place at the 
Office in Worthip-ftreet. 
'minatien it was related, that Mrs. Abbott, 
while lying in the agonizing pain which fuch 
a wound muf inflict, hcerea. in.a fort of 
fcream, and ‘with Recut emphafis, ‘¢ A 
pot boy! a pot boy! a pot boy!” three times 
fucceflively, and with aftonifhing celerity ; 
But upon being queftioned, relapfed into her 
former ftate of infenfibility.
