CORONER'S INQUEST.

Saturday an inquisition was held at the Shakspeare's Arms,
Shadwell, on the body of Mary Ledley, whose death was occa-
sioned by mortification, arising from a severe beating by her hus-
band.

The Jury having heard the evidence, the Coroner summed it
up by telling them, that if they thought the woman's death it.
stilted from the blows etc had receiVea, witheMi any Imtritioll on
the part of the prisoner to have produced such a result, they would
pronounce hint guilty of manslaughter ; or, if they thought the
attack had been made on his part with a malicious design, they
would return a verdict of murder.
They returned a unanimous verdict of " manslaughter" against
the prisoner.
