      Especially Among The Higher Circles, M C...

      especially among the higher circles , m _coiiscijiieucc of suspicions having arisen that tho late Lieutenant-General George Dick , who died in the month _, of March , 181-1 , had come by his death in an unfair manner . Liciitciiaiit-General Dick was an _oOicer , not only of high rank , but also of ' considerable fortune , and resided at Clifton , Bristol , but previous to his denlh he came to reside in Catherine-place , _lJulli _, where , in tho month of March , 1811 , he died very suddenly , and was buried in the cemetery at Batliwieli , where the remains of the late Mr . lieckford are also interred . The reasons which caused suspicions to

      arise that he had come by his death unfairly have not at present been made known , but it appears thai fulsome reason suspicious arose in the minds , of some members of thc General ' s family , and in consequence his eldest son , Mr . George J . Dick , who kohls a _high oflico in the civil service of India , came to England to investigate tho matter , and in the course ofhis inquiries received some information which'increased the suspicions in his mind , and ho waited upon thc coroner of Bath , upon whom he urged thc necessity of holding an inquest . Other inquiries having beeu instituted , and certain depositions made , the coroner felt tliat it had become his imperative duly to commence an inquiry , and issued his warrant for the exhumation of die body , and for tho impanelling of the [ _. r , Ji

      jury . The inquest commenced on Friday afternoon , atthe cemetery where the General ' s remains had been interred ; and thc matter having become known , a numerous body ofthe medical profession attended the exhumation . Air .. Barrette attended to make the post mortem examination , and Mr . llci'a ' palh , tho celebrated analytical chymist and toxicologist , attended to receive thc viscera , with a view to asearching examination of their contents . A professional gentleman also attended on behalf of sonic parlies against whom , I understand , a suspicion has arisen . The jury iuvhig been sworn , tlie corouer ( Mr . English ) addressed them , and said that tlicy had been summoned there upon a very ' extraordinary occasion , to inquire how and by what means Lieutenant-General y f I _, , _£ ' c J 1 ? I

      George Dick , whose body would be identilied before them , came by his death . There were circumstance * attending this inquiry which were not only of an extraordinary , but of a most distressing character . A considerable period had elapsed since the decease ul * General Dick . Uis body was interred in the _ccinct _eitf , and it was not at that time expected that it would ever be necessary to disturb his remains . Circumstances had , however , since come to his ( thc coroner's ) , knowledge which imperatively forced upon him , iu the faithful performance of his duties , the institution of that inquiry . About seventeen or eighteen months ago General Dick had died in that city very suddenly . It was probably known to them that ihe deceased General ' s son moved in ' thc higher circles | _^ ' . J ' f ' , J

      ot society and was much respected . His death did not occur among the nearest members of his family , and his eldest son was at that time in India , 'flic circumstances attending his death were such that at that time an inquest was undoubtedly desirable , and had the parties acted with a . proper discretion one would no doubt have been held . None , however ,, took place . He ( the coroner ) was now acting upon the earnest request of the eldest son ofthe deceased , who , at a great sacrilice of feeling , time , and money , had come irom the East Indies to cause this inquiry to he made ; and upon the solemn informations liw had seen he believed that in ordering the exhumation ofthe body he was only acting in the discharge ofhis duty . Of course there were circumstances besides ( ' ¦ ( i ] , , ' _' ' ] 1 1 i -

      the information of Mr . Dick toiustifv his present proceedings . He believed , as he had " said , that . Mr Dick was acting from no improper motives . He believed that he was only anxious to satisfy his mind that his father had died in the course of nature , whose death he stated , on his solemn declaration , he believed to have _bccuothcrwisc . The period which had elapsed since thc death was so long Unit the chances of death from violence being proved would rest on » very remote possibility . Still it . was possible , supposing it to have been caused by some kind of _poi ' _smi , that it might be traced . A" gentleman ofthe very highest . talentand _thcgrealest experience , whose fame must be known to them all—has been brought . over-Mr . _Herapath , and Mr . B & rcttc , deputy-coroner fet

      the county , would examine the body . It would be most satisfactory to the feelings of Mr . Dick , and of the parties , who , though not directly , were yet indirectly charged , if the body should be in such a state as to show natural causes of death . There were many minute circumstances upon which ho would not then enter . Certainly Mr . Dick had reason to bc highly displeased with the family' the General lived with , and it should also be stated that the propriety of an inquest being held was stated to them at the _tinif _; but it was objected to , and the body was _hiierrwi withoutinquiry . Two medical gentlemen at t / ioti '" gave a certificate that the deceased died of apop lexy but on those gentlemen being summoned they could give no reason for that oninion . excepting' that the

      General died _suddewlv , and with some wicuuicrs of his family . Unless the cause of death could be shown , it would be useless entering upon any inquiry tone iingthc other circumstances , and therefore he sl »» _« have the examination made at once , it was _potsiuuv that the deceased might have died from the _iiecnij of some poison . Ii arsenic had been emp loyed tic } might detect its presence ; he believed , however , _iim where arsenic was used the death was very scWon - sudden as it had been in this case . The jmf _i _" ' proceeded to the tomb , from which the _. «"" » _™ taken and opened in tlieir presence . _Kviucntu •" then given to identify the remains as those o deceased General , and the inquiry was - ° " ' _^ a-Mr . Barrette at once commenced tlie _/«»<»« "' " . '" _\^ ruination , and the stomach and viscera were i over to Mr . Herapath , by whom they will he opt -i upon with a view to the discovery of any P _' " b ] c remains . The inquiry has excited a _^' yi _^ sensation among the fashionable circles o Clifton , & c .
