Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held an inquest
yesterday in the vestry-room of St. Martin'., on the body
of Ann Colley, aged 38, who died on Friday last from
swallowing a quantity of what has been proved to be
a solution of cyanide of potassium and nitrate of silver,
extensively used by photographers. The deceased had
cohabited with a man named John Lemon, at No. 11,
White Hartatrest, and who is now in prison under remand
upon a charge of causing her death by Mr. Cowie, the
magistrate at Bow-street, awaiting the result of the in-
quest. The facts appeared in our police intelligence on
