THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.

THE ADJOURNED INQUEST.

The Coroner, Mr. Cartcr, resumed the inquest this
mori.ing at the L7ather-merket Tavern, Bern oa'ey. The
time to which the inquest hid heen originally adjourned
was 10 etaloek ; but, by a sehe -queue arrangement, It hod
born deferred tall 11. The watt wan as crowded as on the
previous ovation.
Tce names of the jury heiress hoes called over,
The C :roger c gilled for the puliec-eonstable who had ob-
tained the sh 'Nei Iron Bainbridge, but ho was not present.
Bainbridge, the broker, was next caked, but he did not an-
swer to his name, and the Coroner directed that he should
be sent for. Aft. r the lapse of Calla atitilittlip
William Se pp, p, lice constable, 162 lig, entcred, end was
sworn. He &post das follows :0n Wedneraday, the 22nd
inst., I was inetitedel by my inspecter, Mr. Yates to go to
No. 14, Beemendscy-equere, the house of Mr. Bainbridge.
I found faiths!' Mr. Bainbridge nor Mrs. Bainbridge at
borne. In the coarse of a few wioutca Mrs. Bainbridge
time in. I rim/ her if her husband had purchased a shovel
=wig the things he had bought at No. 3, Minter-place.
She brought out at iron shovel. The shovel be now pro-
;need j,,, tha aataP. (Ti.is is the acme shovel as was pro-
duced in cvi!oes.. on Friday leer.) I observed on the shovel
the merles of minter, Dud on inspecting it further, I saw
somethiog that La 1 the appearance of bl A, and ashes, and
j human hair. I called Mrs. Bainbridge's attention to it, and
asked her Oahe had wedeed. it baler. Sho raid no. 1 asked
her it she had used the shovel since it had been in her pos-
session. She sold she believed SOON one had used it to take
on soma aier s, bet she did not ray it was so bar certain. I
then took charge of the sherd. (A spot of dust on the shovel
was shown to the jury, having aom(thing like human heir
mixed up with it.) The shovel is mow exactly in the same
state in which I received it.
Buxton, ilea policeman who had been sent for Bainbridge,
::ere reported that he had been to Ileiubridge's house to
bring him to the icquest,reom, and was isiutmrd by Mrs.
Bainbridge that he bee gone to the oth:r end of the town.
He (the policemen) had told Bainbridge that his attendance
would he regain it the first thing this morning.
Slow, the summoning officer, on brine questioned by the
coroner, steted that he had served Bainbridge with a sant-
moes to attend, and about one hour and a half or two hours
etie had coiled upon him and told him that he must be pre-
sent at the °peeing of the court, as ho would be the first
witness celled. The coroner inquired if Mrs. Bainbridge
wee pres-nt.
The summoning officer replied that she was not, and she
was directed to be sent fer.
The foreman of the jury complained of the unnecemay
delay consequent oa the nen-attendance of witnesses at the
opening of the court, and so 'geese', that it was a subject
wlielo ought to be inquired into.
W. Kirk, the cabman, was then called. He said, lam a
driver of a hackney carriage, No. 418. 11 re at No. 11,
Milk-street, Walsworth. On this day fertnight, at about
half-past thine or twenty minutes to four in the afternoon, a
female close to me in Joiner-street, where the omnibuses go
in for the BrigLtin station, near St. Thomas's Wharf, Tooley-
street. She ordered me to dries to No. 3, Minter-piste,
New Weston-street. She got into the orb and rode there
1 from Joiner-creed. When we got to the house she got out
I and opened the door of the house, and told me she had some
i boom to be removed to the cab. I went up stairs. She es-
' Betted me down to the strew-door with two boss., and
j with assistance I got them up outside. I saw so
one is the hours except herself. The assistance
I get ta put tr e buses upon the cob wise man pasting ,iy.
IThe boxes were very heavy, and more than I could lift. B -
fora the second box wee moved doren mire we tried to lock
it, but could not it was a fail. Beth I and the female tried
to lock 1.... See Raid, "N. vex babel ;
Mee shall be too late
for the train if we wait longer. The xs hall nothing at
all round them. One was secured with a lock, but the other
wee not snored at all. We r.moved a third box, which was
put inside of the ea b. Teat box was brought from d ,sarn
emirs up to the paring.. See herself brought it port of the
"7 asp. I =ogee i that box came out of the kitchen. I
retrieved it of her, I placed it inside of the cab, because
there was no mere roam cut. A carpet bag CUM n, at,
which she brought to me. I did not see where she brought
that from. I first saw it in the pi stage when she broug et it
to me. I cannot say what was the eelour of it,
and do riot thtok I should know it again. Thcre
were several mere artiles, sueh as cloaks, weds, and
there might have been a shawl, which were brought to me
in a basket or own. Theee w.re placed iusida the cab. !She
then came our, got into the cab, and urdered me to drive to
the Briehten etaaion, Looden.bridge. I did not see wheth, r
or not she bcked the doer of the heuze. When we got a,
far as Sr. Thew as'iestreet she ordered me to stop at some
stationer's, as she wanted some cards. I pulled up at Mr.
Ash's, and there she went in. While she was gone islet&
i there was a piece of rope in the tab to maks the box fast,

which was unlocked. She had bought the rope herself. She
told ate the rope was to fasten the box. I understood her to
mean me to fasten it while she went in to get the cards.
Then she came and got into Cut esti again, and I tcok her
to the Brighton terminus, when she ordered the two large
box:, to be taken down from the top of the cab. These were
taken
t.,)wi; . I saw her then pull from her
•
p„ket t 0... direction's, which she asked the Feiner to nail on
which he du; with a piece of iron which was lying by. He
nailed one of the direction cards on each of the two boxes.
There was no direction on either of the boxes up to that
time. I did not see what the direction was. I beard him
my that the top one was not lockPd, and the officer or porter
at the railway station tried to 1 ek it with a bunch 01 keys
which she had handed to him. The porter handed back the
bunch of keys, I believe, to her, but I OW not see what
became of them. The two boxes were pieced on a truck,
and she went with the porter who wheeled them into the
office. She came back to me and ordered me to drive her to
Euston•square, to the Birrnineham Railway station. She
alighttd there, awl the rest of the luggage RAS taken away
from the cab. The porter asked her—" Wtere ter ? "
" Edinburgh," she rays. " Half-past seven (sas he) is the
next train for Edinburgh." Ttat is all I know. Sno
had kit the two large boxes at the Brighton station.
I have not seen her Nina. From the time she took
my cab in Tow,r-street to the time I left her
at Enston4guare station woe abut an hour and a half. I
sew her so as to know her, that is, I saw her as well as I
I could with her bonnet and veil on. She appear-
ea' to be a country woman—that is, she did not 'wit fluent
English. I should have taken her to be a Suffolk or Essex
woman—l mean by that she did not speak good English.—

think I might know her again ; I believe I should. I re-

I opened the cab dour, and asked Per whete she was for. She
told me she wanted to have her boxes in the cloak-room..

We uololied, them. fine' !poke of two boxes which
were on the mite& of the cab. I en the paleetnan no-
loaded them. Thee., were two cud on the boxes, which .he

asked us to nail on them. She took s .me small ticks out of

her pinked, and gave them to us to do it with. We •.ailed
one card ori enelt box. I believe the direction was, "Smith,
passenger, Paris." I think it was Mrs. Smith." That is
to the best of my knowledge. There was eliding else, that
I ►aw, on the direction. Then she pull d a hutch of keys
out of her pocket, saying ono of her boxes was not locked.
That box had a cord round it at the time. I tried the l ox,
and fond it was quite full. There wee no co.(' round ,he
other. That was locked, and did not ;wear to hire any °Sur
fastening. We could not lock the boughs asked us to leek.
The holes were then taken in by me and plead iu the cl .ak-
room. She paid fnurprnee—twopence for each box, ',h. n
they were leg. When she had delivered the boxes a e went
away. She was probably ten minutes at the station. She
spoke cheerfully. She appeared to me by her Imeruage not
to he a London lady, hut a freiener. I bad a good oppor-
tunity of sceiog h .r, and think I should know her again if I
saw her ainungot a crowd cl per. ons. I have hint seen the

were delivered by me into the pofxrcion of Mr. Dyne, of
the cloak room. There is a clerk end potter in th • cis) k-
