THE HOLBORN MURDERS.

The &Mourned inquiry into the cause of the
deaths of Henry White, Thomas White, and Andrew White,
the three children who were murdered at Stan's coffee
house, Red Lionetrest, Holborn, on the 9th indent, was
held yesterday in the board-room of the workhouse, Little
Gray's-lumlana, beton Dr. Hardwick, deputy coroner for
central Middlesex, sad the jury empannelled on the former
day.
Mr. E. T. Smith. Instructed by Mesas. Gold and Son,
appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of Ernest
Southey alias Stephen Forward. Mr. Superintendent
Swale *beaded on behalf of the pollee authorities.
Dr. Hardwick, addressing the jury, said that Dr. Lan.
luster had had an brave, with the Under Secretary of
State for the Home Department ea the subject of the re-
moval of the roused panes. He (Dr. Hardwick) was sot
aware of the result of that interview, but Dr. Laakester
would be its &benders iii • short time, and state what had
occurred.
Dr. Lankester having arrived and taken hie seat betide
the deputy-wrier,
Dr. Hardwick said the jury expected to have had the
accused before them, but there were difficulties in point of
law which prevented his removal. Dr. Leaksetee would
state the resat of the interview to which be had alluded.
Dr. Unhorse mid that, believing the jury would like,
If poesible, to have Southey present, he called at the Hoene-
office and had an interview with the Usder•Srenetery, is the
absence of Sir George Grey. His reply to the application
was, that it would be uttrrly impossible to have Southey
brought up, ha having been committed for trial by another
court. Had the emcee at Itemiser adjourned his baggiest,
which he (Dr. Lanketter) thought would have bra the
better innuse, the prisoner oonld have been brought up to
London to attend this Donn. Net having done so, sod
Southey having bees committed for trial foe wilful murder,
there were now no mesas of removing him to Loados. The
, ace known as Palmer's Are did not apply to a coroner's
teeth It would be for the jury to arsider whether they
had sufficient *riders to criminate the man Southey. The
voluntary confession be had mode ought to diminish their
difficulty on that bead, Of course, if the prisoner were
found guilty of the Ramseur murder, he would not be
bought up upon the verdict with reference to the murder
of the children in Red Li:seeker.
The following evidence was then given :
Inspector James Lothar, of the Remagate polite, was
swore. In reply to Dr. Hardwick be said—l ant head

of the 10th of this month 1 apprehended a person who thou

the police station on • charge of murdering his wife add

arrival, he asked me had I bad • oenimunicatioe from Sir
R. Moyne respecting the death of three children. I said
no, but that I might have. Hs said then he wished to
make a statement, but was not sufficiently collected.
