AWFUL DEArii F ANOTHER DRUNKARD.
The Ancient Order of Intoxicating Drinkers have about
13 temples in Weymouth, every llth inhabited house
being devoted to the rites of the Order. Some of ite
members who live by supplying the " goo is." have e
advanced to high poaitions of outward respectability and
consideration ; but they have generally done this liy
avoiding the furthest degrees in the mysteries of the
Order. The latter are often revealed to individuals poor
in outwaid appearances, but who have devoted their
whole Navel to the rite, 'two of these have been advanced
to the furthest degree during the lest few days, one
named Bishop, a sailor in Portland R.:4la The latest
instance is that of Jane luszard.a married woman between
40 and al, with several children. She was found at rstie
:in the Bird.lll-11and. St. Nicholas-street, dead. She
smelt of dnnk. Dr. Nathan WiLi called in; but theee
who take the " black veil" of this order cannot retrace
them steps. An enquiry was held into the cause of death
at 11 o'clock. before Mr. Lock, coroner.
The body showed marks of blows, caused, it was said
by the woman having previously fallen about when tipsy.
Angelina Fuzsard, 13, daughter of decemed, said she

hurt, and seemed capable of taking care of herself. liar
mother worked fur Mr. Smith, and Mlle hOlllll generally

Jane Mills, married daughter of deceased, saw the
deceased at the inn about 11 o'clock. There didn't appear
to be anything the matter will, her—not to say anything,
you know, sir; she had a clan, •,1 beer or anything she
liked to take, but only a little drop, and spoke
very well to me. Her face was bruised, where
she had the misfortune to fall the other even-
ing she told me. Mother was apt to sleep over thero
sometimes, and father had complained of it. When I
left mother was sitting in a chair with her hand over her
chest. I asked her if she was going home: and she said
"My girl, 'l'm going in a few minutes." Never heard of
Smith shutting her out at night in a drunken state. Rho

Charles Fussard, husband of domain-1, said he had
lately complained of his wife not coming home at night.
Angelina told him she was wit ctuning home last night.
She never brought home any money for work, but said
that Mr. Smith had been put to expense by his wife's
death, and would make it up to her. He said very well
if she could be of any good, tot he wanted her home at.
nine o'clock. One night she was brought in quite stunnedk
