In the thirteen weeks that ended on Saturday, September
29, 12,916 deaths were registered in London. That this
mortality is relatively very low will be manifest when it is
added that last quarter fewer penises died by 1,160 than in
the same period of 1856, fewer by 1,343 than an 1857, fewer
by 1,429 than in 1858, and fewer by 3,094 then in 1859. It
will further be observed, that as the popalation bas la-
mmed, the smelled number at deaths was obtained from
the largest population. In once of the coldness of
the rummer, and the unusual quantity of rain, the diarrhom
that carries off mealy hundreds of young children at that
season was comparatively idle. The mean tempera-
ture of the air in the quarter was 56.8 deg.,
which is Ave degrees less then the- average of tour
mirrespending quarters (1856-9), and six degrees less than it
was in the atone period of last year. In concurrence with
this decrease of heat the deaths from diarrheas and cholera,
which were 2,920 in the tame quarter of 1859, fell to 788
lad quarter. Certain other epidemics visibly declined ; for
in the same periods smallpox numbered respectively 287 and
90 ; ecariativa, 778 and 471; diphtherit, 190 and 71 ; typhus,
502 and 311 ; dysentery, 104 and 28 ; and remittent fever, 33

ADJOURVILD DIQUIST.
On Monday =ruing the inquiry into the cir-
cumstances of the death of Thomas Harrison was readied
by the coroner, J. IL Pave% Esq., in the Ship-inn, kept
by Mr. Thomas Kinnair, at Pelton. The court was entirely
an open one, a number of the surrouniling villagers, con-
sisting chiefy of women, being preeett. Mr. Theodore
=, JUL, acoo mpanied by Hr. Shipley, appeared to
the came on behalf of the widow and relatives of the
deceased ; but the prisoner, Lockey, being in custody under
remand of the magistrates at Chesterle.Street, wan not
brought forward. Mr. Squire, superintendent of police,
waain attendance.

The coroner opened the proceedings by reading the depo-
sitions previmmly taken.
Elisabeth Jockey having been sworn, deposed—l mar the
wife of Milner Lackey, and lived at Urpeth Mill. He
worked at the coal mines. On Saturday night, the 29th of
bar, about half-past six o'clock, I was in the kitchen,
Thomasand Harrison was in bed in the kitchen. Milner
Lookey came in and sed4 "Now, honey how are you com-
ber on the night r I Wha &ought yea down

before ft's long.* I mid, "Don't you came here to make
any kite-up, or4ll be forced to Nod for • polleamen."
Theo he called me a "flaming —." I said, " Loekey,

said, " Lackey, don't kill your mistress." Mr. Hard-

man's head ; he's run it through my heart.' Harrison was

tit in open. I could not shut it. I spoke to Mr.
Harrison twice over, and he did not speak. " Lockey"
I said, " thou's murdered that man " end be said
in reply, " Ay, you —, 11l murder ye before it's loft.*
Harrison sat down on the chair and never moved. Lackey
took kohl of me, and brought me away from Harrison. He
mad. " Now, well have • cup of tea together ; aud it'll be
the last cup of tea we'll get. Harrison was then leaning on
his hand. His elbow waste the bed. He never moved to
my knowledge. Be maid, " pa' throu4h the hale fleet
this night, for I know I'll be hung for this job." He told
me to put the kettle on • so I took it to the door, thinking
I would make my serape, and he followed me for fear that
I should get out. He is the meantime asked me for the key
to lock the door. I said, " Lockey, there's neither lock nor
key on my door." He then took rile in and put me on the
chair. I asked him to spare mylife on account of the father-
less bairns, and he said • sexed time, "I'll pn' through the
hale fleet this night." I said, " Then let me go to the door
for stew cads, honey ;" end he never spoke. I went to
the door, and saw Hart coming, sad I flew out to him
directly I saw him. Another man was with him, but at •
short distance from him. I him as wall as I could
what had happened. I think I told him Lackey had
murdered the man. When Lackey sod Hart were talking.
I made away up the bank as far as ever I could. I could not
rue. When I got round the turn in the bank, I beard Loamy
coming. He badnot a hat on his head. He shouted two or
three times "You —, take time." I called out several
times, "I'll be a murdered woman this night." I shouted
" Murder !" three or four times. I flew into Mr. Hislop's
barley field, and the date was open for me. It is called the
" Wheat field,' and is near the mill. I then got away from
him, and I saw idol no mcee. I think he went up the lane.
Many • time I tumbled down on my knees that night. I went
away to the colliery, and the first door I got to I went in.
I gave the knife to • policeman. ['The knife was here pro-
dosed.] Witnea—That's the knife Lookey struck me and
Harriman with. I tried to shut it, but could not. Mr, Ber-
rien was a decent and well-behaved man from the time he
came into my bones. Lackey has ill-treated me before. I
brought him before the magistrates at Cluster for assault-
ing me ; and many a tarns I would have been • murdered
woman if it had not been for the nbours. When he
idled on me a fortnight before he threatened what he
would do. I never beard him um threats to Harries He
asked him how long he was to " byds," but be mid he
could not tell, for he was looking for • letter every day to
take him away home.
After hearing other evidence, the jury returned a
verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Milner Luckey.
In the neighbourhood the shocking affair continues to ex-
cite the most intense interest. On Sudsy the lonely
cottage, which was the scene of the dreadful tragedy,

Mra Lackey having previously granted to the bailiff, now
in paresion of the mill, permission to show certain parties
through the interior of the ill-fated building. The chair,
on whieh Harrison leaned back after receiving the deadly
blow, up to Monday retained is position at the bedside,
sad presented some marks of blood; similar indications of
video's being observed upon some of the materials
rthenalbed. Mn. Lackey, however, having resolved to return
no more to her old habitation, has taken a house at Urpeth
Col iery for handl and children, and thither the furniture
is being gradually removed. She has now, to • great ex-
tent, recovered from the severe injuries inflicted by her cruel
husband, but still remains in • comparative state of weak-
ness. The reports in circulation concerning the motives by
which the prisoner was actuated in the commission of the
fearful crime greammerous and varied. Somewhat singular
it is, that up to a certain period, he seemed to have spoken
of his wife with greet affection and respect. It itppesirs that
shoat eleven week, ago, he went to lodge with a woman
named Jane Dowsou, at a Oboe celled Leasiugthorne,
seer Bishop Auckland. When there, he is represented as
having frequently talked et Moe. hockey In • eulogistic
strain ; and on his return from Urpeth, about a fortnight
previous to the murder, he told his landlady how well she
had behaved towards him. He mentioned too, that Har-
riman was staying with her, but never said that he inspected
anything wrong between them. On leaving that, he went
to another house, where he seems to have indulged in a
similar ions of oceveriation. There, however, be is stated
to have received a letter Worn:dog him that his wile bad
been at Pelton with another man ; and by this communica-
tion he appeared to be much put about. The police have
net mewed from prosecuting their inquiries, with the view
of rendering the evidence in support of the capital eharge
complete; and at the investigation before the magistrates at
Chester-le-Street, which is expected to take Awn this week,
some fresh fads will probably be elicited.

A FATE= STASI= Er HIS Sox.—Mr. John
Milani, a cabinet maker, having • workshop in Bond-
' street, has a son 30 yams of age, who has for some time
past been acting in a very strange manner, and it is thought
that he must have been of unsound mind when, on Friday
morning, he stabbed his father with a pocket-knife, inflict-
ing a severe wetted in the hip. The father, who is about
60 years of age, is stealthy man, or the we might be a
serious one. The eon, John Philoox, was brought before A.

walked downstairs and into Boodstreet. The father undid
