He was examined at Bow-itreet, as stated p. 83, on fufpicion, and difmitfed on the evidence of rpatable witneffes that he was in Moor fields at the time the murder was committed. The following circumitances have ince appeared.-A pot-boy had obferved a man with a brown great-coat, endeavouring to Mend z, the nephew, open the outer gate of the house, with a small bundle in his hand. received notice of his uncle's death on Thuriday night, as he said, and not before, but did not defcribe who gave him the intelligence. Previous to his examination, he difcourfed with the pot boy, who had obferved a man at his uncle's door, queftioned him as to the colour and fort af great-coat, and offered him half a crown for his defcription; but, on friendly expoftulation, the gift was recalled, Subfequent to his releafe, it has been difco. vered that Mendez had converted with an acquaintance in Fleet-market, at half past ten on Wednesday morning, with a fowl in his hand, faying, that "it would make a good broil," and he was going to eat it wi ha friend friend in the country. He has fince been with the fame perfon, and converfed with him about the uncertainty as to the day of their previous converfation refpeéting the fowl, Mendez fuppofing it to be Thurfdey, the other infifting that it was on Wednefday; but there has been no account given as to what afterwards became of that fowl. A child of Mendez was buried on Tuesday: on its going for interment, Mendez obfer ved, that he should not be long after it. On its being mentioned to him the other day that he would probably be re-apprehended, he faid, "Let them come, I am prepared for them." He was, however, feemingly very well on Tuesday evening at five and fix o'clock converfing with hts neighbours in Moorfields without difcovering any difference from his ufual conduct. He died on Wednesday morning without any fymptoms of external or internal violence. Mr. Langley, his apothecary, has given us opinion, that the death of Mendez was osafioned by the visitation of God; the cause an apoplectic fit, or the bursting of a blood vellel in the head. He has left a wife and two or three children. His body has fince been opened and examined, when nearly half a pint of white arfenic was found in his body; on which the Coroner found a verdict, Felo de fe; and he has been buried in the highway at Chelsea. 25.
