THE WOLVERHAMPTON MURDER.

The Birritinghant Daily Post gives some further
detailsoonnected with the finding of the dead holy of a man
in en empty house at Wolvechampton. Mr. Oihtions end
otherprofessional men commenced& post.portent examination
of the body on Saturday, but have not yet prom-ohs, with it
sufficiently far to justify them in forming auything like •
satisfactory conclusion as to the iimusidiste muse of death.
It isoelieved, however, that whilst the injuries which ap-
, pear upon the body are sot thought to have produced death,
yet of themselves they show that the dead roes must

violence. This circumstance has led the coroner to desire
that Captain Seagrove should continue the inquiries which
i be hail begun to make iu nay iiinorters, oath a view to
bring home the crime to the guilty persons. IL will be
remembered that violence before heath was partly in-
ferred from the fact that one of the deceased eyes was
tumid oat of the socket lyiug upou the cheek. Some
medical men account fur that cireunousuce is this
way. The eye which bad nom been injured Soul lost its
power, sod this would give it a teodehey W Modem, and
would generate beneath it a quaatity of fiuiJ, a tin ii, when
life bad ceased, would force the .ye out, a Wit an uninjured
eye would, in the proem of du:on, sink inwards. 'this,
however, as a matter of mimic importune e, as there me
other appearances which show urn (immorally that violence
