TSB MURDSII AT WATILII.LOO-BRIDGB.

Maiirsilin, r" as well ain behalf of medical students In

dr. Richard Budd Painter, Surgeon to the F Division of
Ow Metropolitan Police Force, hen addreassd the following
new to the Lame :
" Sir,—As I dad thin to afiß as opinion held by • few

three of them to the rigid aide, and forming,
when put ergother, eleven ribs early complete ; the
two suer portions were from the left side one
el which oonststed of probably the wend, third and
berth ribs, with part of the sternum. Between the third
rad fourth ribs, near the sternum, wee a obesely-tut nab,

the coat and undarernment. Around this wound, for a

both external to the thorax as well as beneath thip=.
The next ribs below, probably two or three, ware
the other pima of the left Me above mentioned being moil
likely parts of the eeventh, eighth, and ninth. Thus the
ribs immediately beneath the pate whore the greater number
of stabs In the clothes appear me miming. Bat the charac-
ters of the cut above mentioned are quite ocacluive as to the
wound being inflicted daring life. The thorax had not been
opened in the invariable (se f believe) manner of anatomists
by cutting the costal cartilages, bat the sternum was
sewn down the middle vertically. The right clavicle was left
hanging to the upper rib, and had a sgnee inch of dark
skin on it. The riAt scapula we. detached sad had lost Its
mention by the am and waa roughly diearticulated from the
humerus. The Heil radius and ohm were In one piece, bat
separated by rough disarticulation from the humerus and
hand- The lift scapula were also seyerate, but mue from the
'unwrap, to which the neck remained attached. At the
elbow-joint the header of the left radius and ulna, partly
sawn and partly broken off by great form, Were also attached
to the humerus. The remaining portions of tedium and ulna
were together, and pronated. On the back of each wrist was
a large patch of dark akin, with numerous long, black, or
darkish lairs.

pelvis was divided with a knife (I believe) at
the itymphyris pubis, and with a saw down the centre
of the sacrum. It wan of large donensions, the inter-
nal messorenaente bring at the brim live inched lateral,
and live inched and • quarter enter° loestmior. At-
tic-had to one of the runt wee a distinct portion
of the corpus cavernosion. Tim heads of both femora
were articulated, but morn "001 their shafts below the tro-
chanters. The right stump had muscle around It, and was
firmly fixed, pointing almost at right angled to the body of
demeaned. The cape:der I' tof the left hip joist was rut
open, and an endeavour hd bean made to wrench out the bead
of the femur, but it wit held by the ligamentum teen The
shafts of the femora were egaiu cut just above the condyles,
the right tower portion still remaining attached to the tibia.
The left was separated and detached by rough cutting. The
right tibia was cut at the junction of its lower third._ The
right fibula was similarly divided and detached. The left
tika and blink were similarly amen. The lower pram& of
tie right tibia and fibula and the left tibia formed events
tregunals, and were dlearticulated from the miming tried.
The right boas was strongly flexed, and had a large pissed
skill with bah., at cc the wrists, firmly adherent to the lead
of the tibia.

"All the the had portions of nruelecneerea, sartieles (in-
Iniseted), he. adhering, cut about to• rough, ` haggler
at mar, sad had ant been dissected. The colour of the parts
reddish-brev a externally, redder if out Into. No do
composition had taken place, excepting In the left scetsbeham,
whore there were bins discolorstioaa, end • very strong
amen d pittrafaction. No portions of akin were present
bed thole named. Frost the condition of the tosome, ar-
toque, attic* he., I should not wonder if the parts had hem

It le evident that when eadaverona rig.dity set in, the
rfght thigh wad kg ware strongly drawn upwards sod ma-
im* the latter pertly flexed on the former. The left he-
aunis !ag bralsasa abducted from the aide, end the fore-

arm bebt fed raA prorated at the SIM time.
" Elasea irk hairs were adherent to the remains, and also
• herlass ear of a lighter colour. Some saline gritty par-
deism wens bend as the muscles, Itc. These will probably
be analysed.
" I .hink I have said enough in this hurried note to show
that • foul murder hu been committed. I have not lime to
add more,or epee& of the clothes, and my chief object to
writing doe at all is to endeavour to free my medical
liweelven from the horrible imputation that they dispose of
