A candlestick was standing in the all. We ex amined every room up stairs, but could not find the deceased, but in the room below we found her in the si tuation already described by Mr. Plum. I looked all about, but could find no cutting instrument except pair of scissor.. There was a razor-sheath by her side, and an alehouse pnt. The fire was out, and some wood was lying on the hob, as if she had placed it there ready for the morning. Coroner—Was there a candle in the room ? Witness—No, Sir.

Witness—l have been iu the habit of going back wards and forwards to the house for the last three years, and never saw her intoxicated. I believe she was a very sober woman. Alexauder Bonnick, sworn—l am a porter in the employ of Mr. Robinson, upholsterer, and upon the alarm being given, I accompanied the last witness to Mr. Lett's hcuse, and went with him into all the rooms.

I accompanied Mr. Robinson's young man, and Mr. Justice Holroyd't butler, to No. Montague-plate. I went down stairs with Salmon and Gardiner, two of the Bow-street officers, and in the kitchen I found the deceased lying as has been already described. I neat proceeded up stairs with Gardiner and Mr. Robinson, and in the - front room on the second floor I found the drawer; had been disturbed, and the l contents strewed about. In one of the drawers I fosod l this glove—(The glove was here produced; it was a gauntlet, such as are worn by the Life Guards. It was a right hand glove, and, on the thumb there was a stain of blood.) Examination continued--In a little. drawer adjoining to where I found the glove, I found a piece of a ;AWL., cation called " The State of the Nation," published June 3;1827; upon this there were also some blood marks. I then went into a back room, and in the passage I found several band boxes, in which were feathers; which had heels sampled, and some strewed about. I next went into the two pair back room, but did not there dis cover any trace of blood; I was then dispatched for Mr. Lett, and I returned with his servant, and called upon the grandson of the deceased at the corner of Serie street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and asked him where his father lived, and he told me at a baker's shop in Cur sitor-street ; I went there, and asked his father if he had been out ? He said that be had been to Longford, and from Longford he went ta Brentford, and that lie went out at three o'clock that morning ; 1 asked him what he went to Longford for? and he said to purchase some feathers, as he was in the feather line. Juror— Was any person present with you at this time? Furzeman—Yes, Sir; Mr. .Lett's sertaot. I then asked him why he went out so soon in the morning (previous to this I asked him what time be arrived sit fionne, and lac ..id at sta in the evening)? He said he bad got' up having made a mistake in the time. He then said, * 6 Fur Goo's sake, what is the matter. James?'' I told him his mother was no more. He seemed greatly agitated at the moment. I then told him he must go with me to 111 r. Lett's, as his story was a roundabout one. I took him to No. 11, Montague-place, where I saw Mr. Halls, the Magistrate, and Mr. Lett. I was ordered to detain him till the Jury had sat upon the body. Sir R. Baker—Did he mention how he travelled from Loogf,sd? Futzesnan—He said be came home in a post-chaise, but he walked there. Coroner—How far is Longford from town ? Ferzernan—Fifteen or sixteen miles. It is beyond Cranford Bridge. Mr. Courtney—Did he give you any account where he had been the night previous? Furzeman—He did not, Sir. Sir R. Baker—Did he see his mother's body when you took him to Mr. Lett's? Fur zenian—He did not, Sir e to my knowledge. Mr. Courtney—Did be express a -Irish to see his mother's bode? Furzeman—He did not, Sir. Juror—Did be ask you any slues : don:on the road re: specting his mother's death? Fur zeman answered in the negative. Coro er—Did . you search his lodgings? Furzeman—Yes, sir ; and also his person. • fttai . *.• • • ...Sir R. Rakerm-Whit situation is the trilideon in Furseman--He is a writer to a law stationer, and *out 16 years old. 301.0r—14 the sons housekeeper or a lodger ? Furseman—He is a lodger. He oeceples three rooms in the house, and has a large family. He is a dealer in feathery, and goes about the country collecting Them. He was sorting some feathers %hen I went into the room. Sir R. BAUR, the foreman, here submitted to the Coroner and Jury. that ***had gone quite far enough in the evidence to show that the poor woman had been murdered ; the next question would be to know, if they could bring the guilt home t.l the perpetrator, and he thought that could be mote efficiently done in other hands than the present. •The case was at present in the hands of a very' clever Magistrate, assisted by an officer at well- known enterprise, and he had no doubt that all would be done by them to bring the murderer to con• -dign punishment. .At present there was only a suspi cion attached to one party. The Coroner acquiesced in the opinion of Sir Robert, as also did the test of the Jurors; and-he thought that [n the present state of the business, the less that was said the better. Sr Robert Baker said, if there was any difference in the opinion of the Jury, the room had better be cleared of strangers, is order that the Jury might discuss the question. Mr. Courtney replied, that his opinion was precisely -the same as that of Sir Robert Baker, and he had no doubt but the opinions of all the Gentlemen were so. The Jury here expressed themselves quite satisfied, and returned a verdict of Wilful Murder" against some person or persons unknown. The inquiry excited the most intense interest in the neighbourhood, and the house was muds crowded during the time the Jury were sitting. The season for holding the inquest at such an early boor was in consequence of its being hinted that the re latives and friend, of the deceased wished to bury the body immediately. POLICETerELLIGENCE.I MA/4EON HOUSE. Yesterday Mr. Gilbert, proprietor of the Blossoms Inn, Law rence.lane, was summoned before the Loan MAYOR to answer a complaint preferred against him by Mr. Salomons, of the Old 'Change, for demanding two pence for booking a parcel. Mr. G. did to attend, but sent the ranee who delivered the parcel. The Loan MATO& said, that in order to put a stop to this fre quent attempt to obtain this additional charge on parcels, directed that a second summons should be served upon Mr. Gilbert to at tend. and ordered that the way-bill, which was produced by the porter, should be detained till the matter was fully investigated. The proprietor of the Haif Moon inn was charged by John es, of Chain-gate, in-the Borough, with having overcharged him the cartiage of eight barrel+ of oysters to Wakefield. s "Mr. Jones said, that the charge made by the defendant was most paorbitant; that he demanded and received 41.11 d. per barrel, whoa the regulated charge Was only 21. Std. The Loin Mayos said, that it was too bad that the Public should be subject so such extortions, when there was an Act of Parliament for the purpose of preventing those impositions. He asked Mr. Jones what was the value of each barrel?--Mr. J. Five Shillings. The LORD MAYOR addressed the defendant, and said that chose attempts to impose upon the public were generally practised at - ebb season of the year with success. His Lordship- then referred IS regulations of the York Sessions, where the carriage for alma' articles, to any place within the West Riding of Yorkshire, is re. sedated; and it appeared that the charge for any article not weigh ing More than one stone was only ls. 10d. to Northallerton, and .. - Wakefield was 40 miles nearer to London. kir-Jones said that a barrel of oysters oaly weighed Inibe. The defendant said that he was not aware of such regulations ; that be agreed to receive 4s. sci. and thought ft very, hard that a man could not make such an agreement, With subject to a penalty. The Lose MAYOR said that there was an Act of. Parliament to regulate those fares, and he felt it his duty to floe the defendant in the penalty of 51. GUILDHAT.L. • Matrimonial miseries again formed the leading feature in the business at this Office yesterday, as indeed they do every day—not at this Office alone, but at eves, other Office in the Metropolis. The parties in the present instance were a Mr. Benjamin George and his wife Jane. Mr. George is a very sedate young Gentleman --apparently not more than three and twenty, and at presort the respected clerk of a highly respectable Solicitor in the City. Mrs. George il a delicate little person, not more than nineteen or twenty. Itir. George began his complaint by stating that Mrs. George had neglected her domestic duties, and had formed au acquaintance of which he disapproved. " These are matters," said Mr. Alderman BROWN, "of which I cannot take cognizance. Confine yourself, U you. please, so sea tutees a Magistrate can notice." Thus admonished, Mr. George proceeded to state his case more particularly, by which means we gathered that be and Mrs. George lame bees married only t 6 months; that she has formed an se qvainqnce with a Woman of improper character; that she persists in vigling that person, in spite of his repeated remonstrances; that they have lived very unhappily in consequence; that Mrs. G. has neglected their infant child so much that its health is in a very pre. airbus state; that she absented tinsel( from home altogether on Chdetenas day, and had not been near him since until last Wednesday zwiraintwhen she presented herself at his eMployers'office." I did not with tessee her:' continued Me. George, " and tit rerore the may rant requested her to go away; to which she replied that she weedid ban my brains out with her pattens ! I therefore thought it necessary to seek for protection by applying to a constable, cod sit followed me all the way to his house, telling the that she would poison me, or make away with me in some way or other."— In conclusion, he declared that he would not be in a ea= alone with her upon any account ;-Tar he verily believed, if he were alone with ber,"she would do him some bodily injury, though be never gate her the slightest occasion for her bad conduct toward him. Mr. Georges employer, the highly respectable solicitor above mentioned, attended, and spoke of him as a mild tempered and most praiseworthy yofing man. Another friend of his, a very respectable looking portly Gentle man, in spectacles, addressing the bench, said, "'lire fact is, Sir, she has an itch for readies novels and romances. She devours three or four volumes a day; and at night she is the heroine of every one of them in turn—so that she cannot condescend to the common place domestic duties of a wife. Why, Sir, six shillings and seven peace was her bill at the circulating libraty for only one week's reading!" • Mrs. George replied that she read nothing but what her husband bad recommended to her; that he decoyed her away from her father's house, and married her against her father's approval, and, in conse quence, her father was very much exasperated against them, and would give them nothing but some sixty or seventy pounds worth of furniture; that his mother was always nuking mischief between thim ; that she Lady she visited was not an improper chaimeter, but j a very respectable Lady, who had lbdged in their house{ that so far front her having dean ted her home, he locked her out of it whilst she was visiting that Lady on Christmas-day by his express permission ; and that he had since not only deprived her of her infant, only six months old, but positively refused either to let her return to him or to contribute anything towards her subsistence. The ALDRILMAN said he was afraid there was some bad adviser between them; but nothing bad transpired of which he coUld take cognizance, and therefore the Lady was' at liberty to depart; at the same time, he would recommend het-sot to annoy her husband in his business, but to apply to the officers of the parish in which they reside for relief, and they would see that her husband made her a necessary allowance. , BOW-STREET. , Last night, William Bedford, a dog fancier, and one of a mats( the same profession who resort to a public-house in Behan-sue" Long-acre, was charged with assaulting and fracturing the leg of a young man, named Joseph Lawrence. It appeared that the prisoner and another man were fighting thole dogs in one of the narrow passages leading from Portugal-street toy Clare-market, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. After thit dog fight, a dispute arose between the prisoner and the young mg to whontthe accident has happened, which ended in a pugilistic coo teste They fought [or a abort time, and then closed, when the unser, by a dexterous manoeuvre of his leg. contrived to ilia :Interns* from off the ground, and then fell upon him with all weight. The consequence was, that the unfortunate young man ha his right legraireadfally fractured in them places. He was taken up insposible s and immediately conveyed to the Hospital upon a shutter. The surgeon has declared that the limb must be amputated, and be cannot as yet say whether the accident may not be attended by a worse comequetice. Under these circumstances Me. MISOIDOLL refused to admit the primmer to bail, and he was committed to prison until the state of the waiinded man is finally ascertained. nothing transpired during the whole of yesterday and up to the closing of the office last night, respecting the murder in Montague- plate, beyond what iire'ptiblie has Aka4y !weft aware of thra ll * the medium of the pries. Mr. Halls and the offices engage. in the transiction are +endearing in their exertions to find out nit reorder.? I but every thing that occurs to forward that object is kept Tiro . foundly secret. Mr. Halls and Mr. Lett, the Magistrate, are in constant communication, and from the known aetivity of the of ficers employed on the occasion, there is no doubt whatever but that a very . short time will ;achieve the public anxiety, and billiethe wretch to justice who has perpetrated the horrid deed. • HATTON-GARDRN.
