saran.—The body found Boating In the canal at the Webb
Colliery, Prince's End, neer Basin, on Thursday last, bag
at length been identified u that of • woman named Mary
Hughes. As we have before stated the apportions pre-
saged left but little doubt that the deceased had been Bl-
ued and most brutally beaten before being thrown into the
water • and from the length of time that had elapsed sins
the body we. submerged, decomposition was far advanced.
The husband of the deceased women is a puddler living in
Wolverhampton. It appears, however, that the deceased
left him tour jean ago, about • fortnight after marriage.
She had had • former husband, John Atkins, who committed
suicide about seven years ego. Her maiden name was
Williams, the daughter of • labouring man, at Bangor.
She has recently been earning • livelihood by hawking

to Inquire into the circumetances attending to deaths of the
seven victims to the accident at the Westminster Palace
Hotel, ssermbled for the fourth time yesterday. Several
wtinerese were examined, but few, if any, additional facts
were elicited to those already given in evidence. Tho coroner
having briefly summed up, the jury, after • c insultation of
two hoots, ntursel the tollowing verdict :—.• We, the jury
appointed to inquire into the cause of the lath lamentable
accident at the Weettaioster Palace Hotel, which resulted in
the death of seven persons, are of opinion that such de-
plorable occurrence was entirely owing to the accidental fall-
tag of an overloaded ratfold, on which the unfortunate men
were at work. That the jury are farther of opinion that
th-re is not sufficient evidence afire them to affix the blame
of each overloading on any partiettlar parson or persons, but
that some blame attaches to Mr. Wtllism Coleman, in not
promp lug carrying out the orders he received from his em-
ployers, to tasks • new scaffold ; and 'hey cannot conclude
this moat palatal inquiry without expressing an earne4 hope,
that in all such swath re., • liether of scaffolds or pletforrus,
wee.e the lives of {arsons are likely to be jeopardised, mon
caution and cimamspectiou should be practised by the work-
men in futon ; and the jury cannot separate without uprise-
n; en opisioa on the lase, antheed, and uneatiefectory
manner is which the evidence has been collected and pat
Wore them."
