FOOTNOTES:
[172:A]When the inquest was held, the razor was found on some drawers in the room; but it was placed there by a Bow-street officer, by mistake,—at least, so it was reported. We, however, consider even the very partial evidence published in the "Morning Post" quite sufficient to prove that poor Sellis had nothing to do with the razor himself. Some one else must have thrown it "two yards from the bed." The murdered man could not possibly have so exerted himself after the infliction of such a severe wound!
[192:A]Whatever our readers may think of this jumble of words, we assure them it is verbatim from the ORIGINAL affidavit, which is WITHOUT POINTS, as lawyers consider such matters unnecessary.
[360:A]The Duke of Sussex excused himself from taking part in the proceedings against the queen on the plea of being so nearly related to her majesty. When this was stated in the House of Lords, the Duke of York said, "My lords, I have as much reason, and, heaven knows, I would as anxiously desire as my royal relative to absent myself from these proceedings; but when I have a DUTY imposed upon me, of such magnitude as the present, I should be ashamed to offer such an EXCUSE!" It is astonishing how any man, who had outraged virtue and violated HIS DUTY in a thousand ways, could, unblushingly, thus insult the English nation!
