PROM Vicouracz.—An investi-

gation took place on Tuesday evening, at the Bisho-pegate
workhouse, Cit, before Mr. Payne, as to the circumstances
connected with the death of Elisabeth Payees, a single
woman, aged 38. The body of deceased was covered with
braises, and it was reported that these injuries had been
inflicted on her at a low lodging-house in the locality.—
Mrs. Lewis, of 4, Smith's-buildings, Ilishopogatcstreet
(sister to deceased), being sworn, deposed that her sister
had been a servant, bat kad been out of a situation for
some weeks. Witness had not seen her sister very often
since she left her last piece • bet on Friday last deceased
came to her and complained of being in great pain, in
einunqueses of Nene persons having ill-used her ; and on
being asked how she had been served, only replied by in-
voking " the curse of God" upon her assailants. Witness
having learnt that her sister was in the habit of keeping
bad company and getting drunk, remonstrated with her for
so doing, and advised her top to the workhouse, which she
did the sans ing , and died the next dsy.—Mrs.Ann ones,
who resides in the house with the last witness, corroborated
her tostimuny.—Mary Parker, nurse to the sick ward, de-
trthat deceased having come into the workhouse on
dda y last, was sent to her the following morning.,De-
ceased was covered with bruises; and on witness asking her
how she received them, she replied that she tell down some
steps about a fortnight before whilst cleaning some paint,
but she did not say where. Witness hail mentioned this
to deceased's sister, but she denied that deceased had been
cleaning paint-work, and stated that she had found out that
she had been living at a low lodging-house, and on her
applying for her bed on Thursday night last the lOging-
house keeper had forcibly expelled her from his house, in
doing which he had inflicts(' the bruixes found on her body.
—The sister was hereon recalled; but she denied having
made such a statement, though at a subsequent stage of
the inquest Mn. Scales (the landlady of the King's Arms,
128, bishopegate-street Without, where the deceased had
been drinking on Thursday last with some other women)
deposed that the samo person had made a similar statement
to her.—Several other witnesses were examined, but their
testimony was a mass of contradictions for the most part.—
Mr. Thomas Potter, surgeon, Bishopegate-street, said that
the deceased had sustained several violent bruises which
could not have been inflicted above four-and-twenty
hours before death. The contusions were evidently
the result of blows—apparently kicking; and could
not have been caused by a fall. The post ',torten
examination further showed that the brain w in
a highly congested state and the membranes very much
thickened, and there was an appearance of increased vas-
cular action, as if deceased had been under much excite-
ment. The heart was unusually large and fatty, and the
two oricles contained fibrin* or organised matter. The
viscera generally were healthy.tHe believed that the disease
of the heart, together with the state of the brain, were suffi-
cient to amount for death. He did not think, the bruises
would have canoed death, bat it was postage that they may
hare hastened it under the circumstances. The coroner
summed up, and the jury consulteda short time, afterwards
finding " That the deceased died from diseased heart and
congested state of the brain."
