of the House of Lords' prize ; the All Comers' prizes, at 200,
500, and 600 yards; the Amociation Cup, for members of

prime of the first and mooed series, sighting and pool
targets. The entries for the Queen's prize amounted

the last meeting.

THE ABDUCTION AND MURDER OP A MILD
AT ISLINGTON.

In the course cfyesterday afternoon, Dr. Isukester, the
carom for Central Middlesex, opened au inquest on the
remains at the Florence Tavern, I. lorenceetreet, Islington.
In addition to the evidence detailed above,
John Bridges, Rose Cottage, Fog-lane, said that he was a
shoe mender. Last February twelvemonth he got a pair
of children's boots from the Hunters to mend. He soled,
heeled, and toe-capped them. He was asked to make them
strong. He therefore did what was very unusual with a
girl's boots, he put very large steel points in them. He
knew that they were for Elizabeth Hunter. The boots
produced were the boots be so mended.
Dr. Billinghurst, police surgeon, 5, Church row, lelingtoi,
said that he had made a minute examination of the bones
found in the greenhouse. He placed them in apposition,
and found that they were those of one individual, aged
apparently from Bto 10 years. He arrived at the conclusion
as to the age from the development of the skull and the
advanced ossification of the long bones. The second teeth
were developed.
Coroner— Two or three teeth seemed not to have come
down.
Witness—They had probably been driven up by a fan ;
there were no marks of violence on the bones. There was
no fracture of the skull or the long boom. One of the ribs
was broken, but that no doubt was from • blow of the
spade when it was being dug up. There were oo means of
forming any opinion as to the way in which the person met
her death. Lime bad acted on these bones, and all the in.
tegument' and the lower jaw were gone.
The Coroner said that no doubt the jaw would be di►
covered yet.
Inspector Wiseman said that careful search bad been
made for it. The earth had been sifted.
The Coroner asked the witness whether he saw any traces
of blood upon the remains of the child's clothes.
Witness said that be did not.
The Coroner said that it struck him' there was blood
upon the front of the dress.
Witness said be thought rot. So far as he had examined
there was no trace of blood. Everything had been sub-
jected to the action of lime.
By the Jury—The remains had the appearance of having
been lying in the earth a considerably longer time than the
child was missing. The lime might have occasioned that
appearance, by its conceive action. The lime would harden
the boots, and make them brittle. If they had been a very
little time longer in the ground they would have crumbled
to pieces. The articles of clothing found were the only clue
to the sex of the child.
_

-117elinTener;;idtbre the police were at present engaged
in obtaining evidence that it was hoped would lead to im.
portant roseate with regard to this cam. He should, there-
fore, adjourn the court, to give the necessary time for the
oompletaon of the investigation. He suggested that in the
interim the jury should proceed to the premium of Mr. Hoe,
in the New North-read, and view the place where the body
was found, with a view to the better understanding of the
evidence on the point.
This proposal was smutted to, and the proceediogs wars
