The neighbourhood of Gray's-inn-lane was on Wednesday, thrown into great consternation, by the appalling discovery that a man, named Green, a widower, had, after administering poison to his only child, an infant about two years old, committed suicide by cutting his throat so as almost to sever the head from the trunk. On the fatal morning, his landlady asked for the child, in order to dress it ; he said that it had been restless during the night, and had just fallen asleep. He went to his room to shave himself ; some time after she tapped at the door, but receiving no answer, she looked through the key-hole, and saw Green stretched on the floor, surrounded with blood. The door was burst open, and he was found to be quite dead. Upon the drawers was lying a piece of an old letter, on which was written in pencil,'Forgive me this rash act." On looking to the bed, his poor child was seen breathing feebly, in the agonies of death. A medical man gave an opinion that a narcotic poison had been administered to the infant ; and on searching the room, a bottle which had contained laudanum was found.

On inquest was held on the bodies on the following day ; there was no evidence to show what could have led Green to commit the double crime of murder and suicide. It was indeed proved that he had led a very dissolute life ; that he had been disowned by his relatives ; and that he was without resources, having spent all that he had ever possessed, besides haying con tracted a„great deal of debt. These circumstances are supposed to have unhinged his mind. The Jury found that he had committed suicide whilst insane, and administered poison to the child under the same influence.

He was between seventy and eighty years of age ; and lived a very recluse life in a cottage at Holloway, his only companions being two dogs. In consequence of his not having been seen for some days, his cottage was entered, and he was found lying dead by the side of his bed, with one of his dogs in his lap. Some of the Jury were for returning a verdict of "Died by the visitation of God," and others " Died insane." The Jury weredocked up till they Could agree. They at last agreed that the deceased "Died for want of proper nourishment, and proper medical at. tendanee." A wanton outrage was committed some days ago which has terminated in a fatal result. A poor woman, seated on an ass, with a child in a hamper at the side, was selling turf at Charing Cross, when two men in a gig drove up. One of them knocked the ass down with something he had in his hand. Both the mother and the baby were thrown on the road, and the mother had her leg wounded by the wheel of the gig passing over it. She was taken to Westminster Hospital, after four doctors, to whom she was carried, had refused to take her in. Locked jaw ensued, and she died. A coroner's jury, on Tuesday, after examining into the cause of her death, returned the following verdict.—" That the deceased died of locked-jaw, brought on by a wound in her leg, occasioned by her having been run over by a gig, driven by some persons unknown."

A clasp-knife, such as rustics generally carry in their pockets, was found in the blood which surrounded the body. The room was literally deluged with blood, and traces of blood were left, as if made with the tingere, on both sides of the staircase, and on the lock of the door. The motive for the perpetration of the crime is at present unknown ; and it is equally uncertain at whose hands time unfortunate woman's blood is to be required ; though strong suspicion attaches to a young man named Edward Barnett, with whom she was in habits of intimacy, and who is known to have been in her house on the previous evening. He has not been found.

At the late Inverness Assizes, Alexander Forbes was accused of having induced James Macpherson to drink a quantity of porter mixed with whisky, which caused his death next day. It was proved that the prisoner, in spite of the remonstrances of a servant, mixed the liquors in an adjoining room, saying that he would make the company blazing drunk. Poor Macpherson was proved by a surgeon to have died of this exploit. Mr. Cockhurn, the counsel for the prisoner, admitted that Forbes was culpable in being concerned in such a disgraceful affair; for this, however, he was sufficiently punished in being placed at the bar. He had heard of a similar case : a German giant had %isited Edinburgh, and proclaimed the Scots to be a diminutive race, unable to stand much drink ; a learned lawyer, who was afterwards an eminent Judge, resented this as a p.srsonal insult, and challenged the giant to a drinking-match, in which the giant met his death, and was carried to his grave in eight days after. Would net this form a very odd indictment ? Yet the present is equally odd. Mr. Cockburn demanded a verdict of acquittal. The Jury, by a majority, returned a verdict of " not proven." The verdict was quite unexpected ; and the Lord Justice Clerk said, that the court concurred with the minority.
