Dunneg the comparatively short time this work has been in
progress through the hands of the artists and the press, it has

in the part of the river near to the City-road, by • person who was
walking along its bank, and who happening to see something float-

had been seen by sty person near tie place where the body was
found, and also whether any evidence could be obtained as to
whence the piece of lead had been procured which was found fas-
tened round her ann ; but it appeared that the Beadle, although
diligent in his inquiries, had not been able to collect any further
intelligence.
