CORONERS' INQUESTS.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-011 Friday night an Inquest was
held at the Nightingale public-None, Liscon Grove. on the body
or Mrs. Elizabeth Salmons, aged 30, who committed suicide.
The Jury proceeded to view the body, which lay at No. 36, New
Church-street, Liston Grove, and, on entering the room, found the
deceased lying on tier back, with her head nearly severed from her
hotly, and the husband, who was much afflicted at her loan was
convulsed with grief.
Mi. Hobert Croaciter, surgeon, stated, that at about half-past ten
o'clock on Thuraday morning ha was called mum to attend the de-
ceased, whom be fiaind tiling on the floor, with her throat cut, wel-
tering in blood. A large carving knife was by her aide, toured
with blood. She expired is less than three minutes. •
Mr. Jahn Ellis Salmons stated that he was the deceased's hus-
band. He had been married to her about a year and a half. When
first he married her she pentscand the most lively spigot; but Ist-
terly, in consequence of quarreling with her brother-in-law, she
became extremely dejected, and addicted herself to drinking, which
in witness's opinion increased the lowness of spirits. The deceased
was a religiously disposed Person; and on Friday morning last, about
'halt-past Nix o'clock,. she got out of bed, when witness.and the de.
ceased,na was their usual custom, knelt down and said their prayers
prior to having their breakfast. At the conchision of their dom.
tinny they conversed together upon private matters., principally re-
lating t a the brother- in-law'e treatment. The deceased appeared
ow and demanding, and was at intervals completely overcome by
grief. Witness endeavoured to console her, but to ;to parpon, and
she expressed her determination to call again upon her brother to
accomplish a reconciliation. Witness accotnpanted her to Scapc's
Hotel, in Brook-greet, where her brother-in-law was in the habit
of visiting, and having obtoitted an interview, she was treated by
him with cool indifference, merely giving, his hand to her, saying
there wait no animosity. and bidding her adieu. Oa their return,
she proceeded up stairs to the drawing-roean, where the deceased
took two caps of coffee and an egg. Witness retired for a
short period into an adjoining apartment, and he had not been there
lor g when be heard something of a noise similar to water gushing
front a fountain. He immediately proceeded to the drawing-room,
where he beheld the deceased standing near the fire-place, with a
large carving knife in lice hand ; her throat was ctit, and the blood
was issuing in torrent, from the wound. Witness ran towards her,
endeavoured to stop the blood by holding her throat, and called out
for assistance. She became taint through loss of blood, and wit-
ness laid her on the floor, and ran for medical assistance ; but she
was quite dead.
The lury returned a verdict, " That the deceased committed the
act herself, being at the time in a state of temporary derangement."
On Saturday an inquest was held at Bartholoniew'a hospital, on
the body of George King, one of the foremen to Messrs. Whit.
bread and Co.
It appeared from the statement of Itch. Howard; shopman to
Mr. Franks, !tatter. in Barbican, that a gentleman had given a boy
his horse to hold, with strict injunctions not to mount him, which
orders the boy had disobeyed, the hone took fright, and went off
at full gallop. The deceased was crossing the street near Golden-
lane, and was knocked down by the horse; the boy also fell off,but
was not Injured.
Thomas Brettell, dresser to Mr. Abernethy, stated that the de-
ceased was brought to the hospital. His forehead was covered with
coagulated blood, and he found a severe laceration of the integu-
ments over the right eye. The next morning he appeared sensible,
but could not give any account of the accident ; he again became
insensible, anti died in that state. On Friday, ou opening the
head, he found a quantity of extravatinted blood on the brain, and
part of the brain proximate to the injured part aiming from its
natural position, which evidently caused his death—Vettlict, " Ac-
cidental Death.'—lleodatal Is. upon the horse.

THE LATE 111:RDER ON SAFFRON HILL.

We understand an application has been made to Mr.
the friends( and relatives of the unfortunate woman, Mary Perry,
to 'mitt them (by inenns of offering a reward) in the arrest of the
murderer.
Anibrote is a native of Hertfordshire, and was formerly it soldier
in the \Vest Middlesex and liertffirdsiiire Militia'', and, by his
register, he turns out to be 6, years old, only two days before he
colninitted the foul deed, and which he eeletwated by treating the
unhappy woman, and several others of his acquaintance. with spi-
rituous liquors. lie is a very active man for his age, thin in per-
son, stands shout five feet ten inches high. stoops in his neck, and
is very round shouldered ; he hat a remarkably thin visage, and
is hollow checked, with rather a long nose. When he absconded
lie first went into the pithiie-house where the Inquest on his victim
was held, and after drinking a pint of porter, he pulled out 10s.
and, showing it to some persona present. said, that was all he had
in 'he world—that he thought of going to his son's at Hampstead,
where, lie said, he should be happy for life. lie then had on a
close-bodied coat with metal buttons, drab-colaurcel trousers, long-
quartered shoes, and a round list.
About eight o'c'otk on Saturday morning, a female went to the
house of Mr. Read, the chief officer, and gave him information
that the wretched man was then living in the Borough of South-
wark, where he had been seen the preceding night, and that she
wan willing to accompany him, or any other officer, in pursuit, and
that she felt no hesitation in saying that they would be able to
meet with him. Accordingly a person was sent by Mr. Read with
the woman, but after a tedious search in every part of the Bo-
rough, no clue could be obtained so as to cause his apprehension.
As soon as the Magistrates took their seats on Saturday morn-
ing, Mr. Read, the chief officer, was called in, and received strict
orders from them that he was to use every exertion to bring to
justice the murderer, and that the bills that had been printed
by their order should be widely disseminated.
The parish have at length offered a reward for his apprehension;
and besides the sum subscribed by the inhabitants,- we have no
doubt that it will act as a stimulus, and will be the means of pro-
curing his speedy arrest.
Sineelast Monday evening (the day on which he absconded) it
has been ascertained that Auffirote called at his son's house, at
Ilampetead. but finding that he was from home, at Totten-
ham'. he did not sap a moment, but left, and took the road to
London.
- About fifteen years ago he married a respectable woman, who
was a servant to a respectable family at Ware, in Hertfordshire.
and after he had been with her about four years, he behaved most
cruelly to her, treating her with every species of inhumanity, and
at length he drove her out of coos s, and she subsequently died in
a field near where her wretched husband resided. Since this period
he lan been cohabiting with the poor woman who fell a victim
to his brutality.
About seven years ago, a son of his, named Joseph, who was
brought up to the same trade, was taken up for a highway robbery.
and committed to Hertford gaol, from which place he contrived
to escape, but was recaptured, anti afterwards tried, convicted,
and executed at the Old Bailey.
On Friday the trunk of the unhappy woman was opened by
Read, the officer, and it would appear that Ambrose had mem
with hint all 'elm possessal, as only one cap was found therein.
—He has also taken with him nearly all his tools, and ooe of
the lap-stones, which is supposed to have been the instrument
of death, as Mr. Sheppard, the surgeon, is of opinion that the in-
juries that caused death in all probability had been inflicted with
such a substance.

MunnErt.—An inquest was held on Wednesday, at the
South Shore Coffee-house, before Mr. Wright, of Orme-
kirk, on the body of a respectable young man named Wm.
Christopherson. The deceased was formerly master of the
brig Ant, of Whitehaven, and on quitting her, he came
to reside at his father's house in Wapping, until he pot
another vessel which he was latterly in treaty for. On
Saturday evening he left his father's house, and never re-
turned. His body was picked up in the Brunswick Dock
Basin on Sunday. From the evidence of two surgeons, it
appeared there were marks of a person's knuckles on the
throat, compressing the jugular vein, as if some one had at-
tempted to strangle him, and there was a
.mark of a severe
blow on the shoulder, apparently done with • heavy piece
of wood or bludgeon. His watch, &c. were found in his
fob, and it appeared he must have pushed them out of
eight during the struggle. The Jury returned a verdict
of " wilful murder against some person or persons un-
