ANOTHER CASE OP SUPPOSED CHILD
MURDER.

DiQIIIIST.-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon Mr. Humphreys, coroner, held
an inquiry at the George and Dragon Tavern, Shadwell
Nr'gh•atreec, relative to the supposed murder of a female

Alexander Higgs, 1, Labour-in-Vain-street, Shadwell, a
saddler, said that hist Friday evening while walking past
the animal charcoal works near Gravel-lane, he kicked
his foot against a parcel. He found that it was a brown
paper parcel, tied with string, and contained the body of
a child. He saw no one about, and he went to the police
with the child.

Blake, 66 K, said that he received the parcel from
the last witness, and he immediately instituted inquiries.
He found that a woman had been seen loitering about the
ptee of the charcoal works, but nothing more could be
learued. The spot where the body was deposited wax very
dark at night.
Dr. Daniel R 033 said that the body was that of a full-
timed female child. It had fully breathed, and its death
vat caused by a strong pressure on the nose and over the
mouth. He could not, of course, state positively that the
child had had a separate existence at the time it received
the fatal injuries. There was certainly no skilled atten-
dance at the birth.

The Coroner said that in the absence of proof that the
deceased had had a legal separate existenoe the vereiet
should be an open one.
The jury returned a verdict, " That the female child in
question was found dead iu the public street, but whether
the said child bad a separate existence and was born alive
the evidence fails to prove."
