which was stoney. There were a few articles in the cup-
board, but nothing appeared to have been disturbed. Tte
puns war closed. They thee searched tks other rooms, but
aothing appeared to have been disunited. William White
ezamined the body, and there was 11. 10e. 6d. epos him,
the sliver in the right hand pocket and the sovereign in the
left. Both the deceased had their clothes on, and appeared

entering except he knew them.
Charlotte Taylor said she loved in the house nest to the
&mused, who nearly every evening played • tone on his
organ before he went to bed. She could sometimes hear
him slog a hyena. On Thursday night she heard the
organ played jest before she went to bed, which was about
squatter past eight. She had been accustomed to beer
his little dog bark, but she did not bear it that night.
Daring the night she did not hear anything like peruse
falling.
Charles Orley, who Eva near the deceased, said that on
Thursday sigh', between nine sod tan o'clock, he remem-
bered hearing deceased's dog bark several times.
Mr. William Maxwell Borman, of Wath, surgeon, who
bad made an examination of the bodies, wild that externally
there was no appearance of injury es Luke White except
on hie bead ant lace, where Users ware very severe and
fatal Wenn. There was a large straight notated wound
beginning quite at the top of the head and going directly
backwards three inches. A little to the right of that
another wanted wound, about two unites long, both
cattle, through the integuments, and exteasively frac-
turing the skull. There was another very contused
and almost circular wound jut above the right
car. Also another immediately behind the right
ear, and the ear itself was wounded apparently by
the unto blow. There was a severe conmeion on the outer
part of the sight eye; a'co as mall contend wound on the
upper part of the nun, completely freeterieg the bones.
There Wei also. a email wound fa the middle of the fore-
' head, which Wee very liasly prods'. d by falling aa hie
face. Upon removing the scalp, be found ell the beams ar
the head untimely fractured, end some portions of than
driven into the brain, more particularly on the tight side.
The brain and its vessels were extensively lacerated, and
the hemorrhage, both iatermuly and externally, bad
been great. fie should my that death had arisen from
e blows on the head with a blunt Instrument, treater-
hog the skull and causing instant death. As to the woman,
be found too iejuries but open the bead and face. On the
head were marks c f very violent noj cries. There was a contused
wound epos the outer part of the right eye, fracturing the
skull (elusively and completely destroyitig the eye. There
was a wound in. long over the right ear, and another ye-
tendiog direetly upwards 21 in., and likewise fracturing

Menne wooed at the top of the head. Under all these
he found the skull extenetvely fractured, cawing imme-
diate death. Upon removing the scalp, five or six large
pines of bone tell out, quite detached. There was great
eattavaution of hlo. d on the brain, and the 'libation of
the brain was much lacerated. The hemorrhage hod been
very grew. The viscera of the body was quite healthy.
lie never before saw such extensive end fatal fractures.
The wounds tad been caused by a similar instrument to that
which had clawed the death of Mr. Whin.
Mr. James Burman, surgeon, father of the last witness,
expressed a similar opinion as to the cause of death. He
had been in practice forty-two Tons, sad movie saw in-
juries of so sedan a nature. The blows must have been
given with • heavy instrument, end with a very strong
arm. Any one of the blows was quite sufficient to cause
death.

Mr. Badger mimed fa very strong term, to the negli
genes of the constable in allowing the books to be removed
and the blood to be cleared away.
The inquest was adjooroed.
