THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES
AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. •

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-YESTERDAY

Yesterday morning, the jury met to resume their
inquiry at the New -Globe Tavern, Bow-road, into the
death of an infant, about three weeks old, named Phillip
Yorath, the illegitimate child of Miss Elizabeth Yorath, ,
sister of a highly respectable surgeon of that name,
prictising at Newport, in Monmouthshire. The inves-
tigation arose in consequence of several, anonymous let-
ters forwarded to the Bishop of London, signed " A
Parishioner," reflecting on the moral conduct of the
Rev. J. Bonwell, rector of St. Philip's district church,
Stepney, residing with his wife in Thornhill-square,
Islington, where Mrs. Bonwell carries on a ladies'
school. 'The anonymous letters contained grave charges
against the rev. gentleman, which charges have already
been given in our previous report.-
The inquest was opened on Saturday, the 17th inst.,
when evidence was taken of the burial of Elizabeth
Acock by Ayres, on Sunday, the 4th inst., the exhuma-
tion of the body, and the finding of the infant, and the
inquiry was accordingly adjourned for the production of
the necessary witnesses, and.to give time for the analysis
of the intestines of the infant, whose death and burial
were of so mysterious a character. _

The jury re-assembled this morning, and proceeded to
hear evidence relative to this extraordinary, painful, and
delicate case. Dr. Challice presided for Mr. Humphreys,
the coroner, who is confined to his house from an attack
of small-pox. The Rev. Mr. Lee, rector of Stepney, and
several other clergymen were present.
The names of the jurymen having been called over,
Dr. ClARice said—ln this case Mr. Humphreys, the
coroner, having commenced the proceeding, I am sorry
to say that he is in that state of health that it is impos-
sible for him to attend to-day, and under the circum-
stances I must adjourn the court.
Mr. Best, barrister instructed by Mr. J: B. Sorrel,
of 60, Mark-lane, who attended to watch the proceed-
ings on behalf of the Rev. J. Bonwell, vehemently
protested against the postponement. This was a case
involving charges of a serious nature that ought not to
hang over a man longer than was necessary.
Several of the jury protested against being brought
from their occupations unnecessarily, and inquired if
any witnesses were present.
Dr. Chalice said there were not, and he was not in a
position to go on with the case.
After some further angry remarks from the jury,

_ _
Mr. Best inquired if the Rev. J. Bonwell's name was
mentioned on the last occasion ?
The Coroner said it was not.

The case was then adjourned for a week

A NEW TRICK.—As a lady was on Saturday looking
into a. shop-window in Oxford-street, a respectable-
looking woman stood by her side, and then suddenly
moved off, and called a cab, into which she entered.
The lady's attention was called to the circumstance by
a servant girl, who was passing at the time, and whose

was mat
to do so,

The employment of a cab is, perhaps, a new
feature of pocketpicking.
