It was believed that the body bad remained in the ditch

but little light on the matter, and has not at all tended to
remove the impression that the woman was murdered, the
result being that from the advanced state of decomposition
the asedisal gentleman was unable to say whether
vietairs had been used, but Um jury returned
the following open venlict : " That the deceased
wag found dead in a certain ditch containing water, without
the detection of marks of violence in or upon her body, and
that by what means the said woman came into the water
or by what mesas the death was mused there was not suiS.
Smut evidence to show."
