A MYSTERIOUS CASE.

On Monday the acting coroner for Bristol, Mr. Was-
brough, resumed an inquiry touching the death of a little
boy, Thomas Blackruore, whose body was found in the
River Ft-genie, Bristol, on Tuesday, the It4th ult , and
whose father, Wm. Blackinore, a niason's labourer,
is in custody on suspicion of having caused his death.
The evidence, which occupied several hours, is up to
the present point entirely circumstantiaL It is proved
that the father had been in the habit of behaving with
seine harshness towards the boy, and according to the
evidence of a sister of his he had often said he should
like to givehim a ride down the river, and that he had
been heard conversing with a man about taking the
boy to Bath or somewhere and leaving him. On the
27th the boy (who was somewhat mischievously in-
clined) pulled some lead off the window of the tavern
at which the father lodged, and the father was
spoken to by the servant about it. He was angry
with the child, and on .giving him some bread and
bacon, said it was the last he should ever eat in his
house. Some time afterwards he said he would
take the child to the union (where he had been before),
and they left the Louse together, and in the evening
the father returned alone. On being asked if he had
put the boy in, as he had threatened, he said "No,"
that they refused to receive him unless he went in
himself. Ile further stated that he went to see a
siider of his, and told the boy to stay outside for him,
and that when he came out to look for him he was
gone. He also made other statements about having
inquired for the child at the police station. It has
been ascertained that he did not go to the union, and
indeed he is shown to have admitted as much to a
neighbour, and the evidence traces him on to a piece of
ground overhanging a river, near to where the body
was found, which ground was private property, and
enclosed with palings. It is further believed that had
a child fallen in at the spot indicated, he would have
caught at the bank, whereas there are no traces of dirt
under his nails and there are indications of the body
having been thrown out into the stream which was
running fist at the time. Beyond this, it is shown
that many of his statements were false, and it is,
moreover, considered suspicious that he presented him-
self to see the body, soon after it was found, and he
then stated that two boys had told him that his son
whilst playing on the wall near the pump fell into the
water.

The inquiry, which created the greatest interest,
resulted in a verdict of wilful murder against William
Blackmore.
