Mr. Frank left London together on the bth or 6th of Jan!. Mu+
Frank was then in London. He was tb wait upon Mr. Frank u
his own servant. They went to Newark to a hope to Pelhati-
atreet. They went there direct from London. The house was
quite a small one, consisting only of two room* and a kiteheet Wa
low, and three bedrooms. They found there Miss Franc, Dome
Dickenson, and a servant. Mrs. Frank afterwards came there.
!Then she arrived there, Mr. Frank had gone to Harrowlyate. They
returned to Pelham-street, when Mn.s Frank was there. TMs was

Frank slept at Mr. Paterson'a, the Saracen's Head • thitiftraireat
and Dr. Dickenson slept in Pelham-street. He observed people id
the street in the evening ; they were looking in at the window of
the house in Pelham-street.

What were they looking up at the windoWs abtait ?
Witness.—A great coat of Dr. Dickenson's was bung up at the
window. This occurred several times. Mr. Frank sliipt at thb
Saracen's Head three or four nitritte. There was a wean bed pat
up in a small room in which Mr. Frank slept. Mrs. Frank mat
naged the house and &hived the servant*. him. Frank did hot
interfere with witness. He knew Dr. Dickenson and Mts. Fenok
were in the house together, and in the sane room; Mt. JiWk was

sitting on the bed, talking. Had seen nothing else in that room_
Had seen them in Mrs. Frank's bed-room, in bed. Mt. F. was
sleeping in an adjoining room, with a plastered Moor. The door
cheeks of both rooms are close together. There was a wall between
the rooms. Mr. Frank', room was a small one. Mrs. Frank's
room was the largest in the house. Mr. Frank never slept there.
Thinks they slept in this way for a month of more. Dr. Dickenson
constantly slept there. Mr. Frank left Petham.street fbt York-
shire, and left Mrs. Frank and Dr. Dickenson both there. lilt.
Frank went to Hull. Dr. Dickenson spoke to Mrs. Frank thrive
very well before Mr. Frank. Mr. Frank never interfered in the fa.
may affairs. Dr. Dickenson did not interfere with witness. Dr.
Dickenson was most master of the house ; he ordered the servants
to bring porter or wine if it was wanted. He had seen the people
' looking more than once at the great coat. Mrs. Frank sod the
Doctor being there was the reason.
Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—Mode an affidavit for his

The boy, lidward Prank, the second son, about II years old, wanted
Ins keys, on going to his bad-room, which passed thmngh his !no-,
that's room ; lit: found the door locked. After repeated knocking he
was answered by Dr. Dickenson, and told to go away. A short time
after, in the parlour, he said to his mother, " 3lother, why did you
net let me In v" She said, " 1 could not; 1 was naked." The
boy said, if you were naked, what business had Dickenson there ?
ifs told Mr. Frank another. story respecting the same boy havinp
seen Mrs. Frank sitting an Dickenson 'a knee in the shrubbery.,
and Diekensou's arms mind her shirt. He elan told Mr. Frank
that Mrs: Frank had given little dances in the kitchen, and that
are and Dickenson had been by themselves for several honrs. The
society she kept was improper; and that a Mr. Murry, a dancing- ,
master, was received as OM of them. All that he now repeated ,
was at his 6rstinterview at Shelton. At the same time he particu-
larly told 31r. Frank that Mrs. Frank and Dickenson had been
living at an hotel in Bridge-street, and sleeping in an adjoining
room ; thinks this was in. the latter end of lfiseember 1816. Mr.,
Franks said he did not believe it ; he moped a little. Witness said
he believed it was too ttue, and that et must be inquired into.
Witness afterwards came to London and made some inquiries at
the hotel, and then proceeded to Camped' in Yorkshire. and saw
lilts. Frank the day after his arrival. He turned Mrs. Frank out
of the house by-direction of Mr. Frank ; this was in January 1817.
Subsequently he told Mr. Frank that 31rs. Frank had not attempted'
to deny ere thing that he had chatreil her with, encept that she hail
not given Dickenson money for a purse. He then told Mr. Frani:
some further particulars, that on one occasion Dickenson was most
intolerably drunk, and staggered from the breakfast-room to the
library, and that Mrs. Frank was with him ; that it was the amuse-
ment of Dickenson to make a clergyman named Carr drum( : also
that the Itoctor was led up to his bed by Mrs. Frank; and Morey.

11a1LANCHOIY DEATH—SHAMEFUL CONDUCT
' • • • • OF A FrATCIIMAN.
• • CORONER'S INQUEST.
On Monday ereOlng, at eight o'clock, a Coroner's Inquest was
takes by• Mr. ST IR LI *a, the Coroner, and a Jury, consisting of
the.most respectable inhabitants of tie hamlet, at the sign of the
Thtte Jolly Gardeners, on the Ilatmersmith road (and not the
Red Liob, as erroneous] y stated in MI Evening Papers), to inquire
'lnto the extraordinary circumstances attending the death of Sham
ELl:Oct?' Ennio, 'who was suspected la have been violated, robbed,
and ditirdered.
The Imprife excited the general Interest amongst the inha-
bitants of Ilimmermitb and for miles round, which produced the '
assisiblige of vast crowds to add about the house whilst the inves-
tigation
was going on ; and numerous applications were made by
individuals of the highest imputability to see the body of the un-
fortunate young woman, ~ wits lying at the Poorhouse.
The first witness called was Ihrriet Lucinda Walker, who de-
posed as follows live at Hammersmith, and am a widow. Did
not know the deceased ' • but on Saturday night, about half-past
eleven o'clock, she knocked at mr door, and asked of me leave to
stand there till the watchman paited. I asked her if any person
had Insulted her ? She said " No; I have missed the leleworth
coach." .Basked het where she Mimed It ? She said In St. Paul's
Church-yard, at a quarter Wore tea that night, and that she had
run and walked from there Where; • that she lived at Isleworth,
"and we live very retired." Iler asswers generally were evasive,
and she seemed in a stupor; lodic struck me she had taken lauda-
num or some other drug. She welted till after twelve at my door,
when the watchman came, and she put herself under his care for
the night.
Coroner—bid she put herself miler his care, or did you ?
M'itness—She said, when the -vatchman came up, "I'll put
myself under your charge for the right ;" which she repeated two
or three times. The watchman sail. he had forgotten the key of his
box, and returned for it ; and when he came back again. he and
the deceased walked away, 104 she never flaw anything of her after
till she sate her dead. She was dressed in a black silk gown trimmed
with velvet ronleau at bottom, a blue Angola shawl, white straw bon-
net trimmed with green tiband, a black lace veil, and a white lace
collar.
Juror--She bade bundle when you saw her, had she not?
Witness—l did pot see any. She had a white handkerchief in
her hand,
Juror--She had bracelets on her wrists, I believe, and a coral
necklace ? •

Witness—l saw. none.
Juror—Did she request you to give her any sustenance ?
Witness—She asked me to give her some water, which I gave
her, having nothing better in the house. lam sure the deceased
is the same person that I had the conversation with on Saturday
night.
Juror—What reason have you to believe she had taken
laudanum ?
_ .

Neatness—Only from the stupor she appeared to be in.
Coroner—She cannot tell you Gentlemen, whether she had taken
laudanum or brandy, and both would produce the same appearances.
We don't want her opinion, we want facts.
Juror—l believe you got from her some circumstances that led to
the discovery of her friends?
Witness—She mentioned the name of Clements, at Isleworth,
which certainly did lead to-a discovery of her friends.
John Davis sworn—l am a watchman, at Hammersmith.. About
12 o'ci3ck on Saturday night last. I was going to my box, and
heard Mrs. Walker call to me ; 1 went to her, and saw a young
woman standing with her at the door. Mrs. Walker requested me
to provide her with a seat somewhere, and I said she might sit in
my box, but not having the key about me, I returned for it, and on
coming back, the young woman went with me into the Broadway,
where my box is situated, and on my opening the door, she sat
down inside.
Juror—Did you have any conversation with her, from Mrs.
Walker's house to your box?
Witness—l had none with her, and ;when she sat herself in the
box, I shut the side windew,and put the door to, and then left her.
and did not see her again till half-part three next morning, when I
found her fast asleep in the box, and did not attempt to awake
bet, and after this time 1 never went near the box or saw any more
of her till I saw her dead.
Coroner—lts very strange you did not go back again, knowing
you had a young woman in the box.
Juror—lt is a most extraordinary circumstance that you
should walk with her from Mrs. Walker's to your box, and never
speak to her.
Watchman—l never spoke a word to her at all.
Juror—Dld you lock her in ?
Watchman—l did not ; the box went lock outside.
Juror—What time did you go off your beat ?
Watchman—About half-psat four o'clock in the morning.
Juror—And didn't go t 3 your box before you left duty ?
Watchman—l did not.
Juror—You are a most extraordinary watchman. Bow long doe.
it take you to go round your beat T.
Watchman—About three quarts:a of an hour, and am obliged
to go my rounds every hour.
Juror—Then where were you the other quartet of an hour ?
Watchman—l was sitting at the shoemaker's door.
Juror—You know as well as I do that there is no lock to
the box : now what occasion had you to go for the key when Mrs.
Walker called you?
i Here the Coroner said the Jury were under a mistake ; the man
was right in sayirg the box would not lock outside, because the
box locked into the wall, and it was obliged to be unlocked before
it could be formed into a perfect watch-box ; but then, when
formed, it would not lock.l
Juror—You have been a watchman for two years, and you have
fro uently, in the course of that time, had applications from be-
ni ..ccl people for lodgings ?
ii
Vatchman-1 have, and so has my brother watchman.
Juror—And where have they always been accommodated 1
Watchman—ln the round-house.

Juror—You know also that in this round-house there is always
plenty of clean straw, kept for the very purpose of accommodating
persons in ill health, or in want of a night's lodging ?
Watchman—l did.
Juror—Then when you knew this, how is it you didn't take the t
koung woman there instead of placing her in your box, where you
now there is not the least accommodation ?
The witness did not answer this question directly; but told the
Jury they were chaffing him.
Juror—The rays of the moon shone into the box at the time, did
they not ?
Watcitman—They did.
Juror—Then can you tell whether site had her bonnet on or not,
when you saw her asleep at half-past three o'clock ?
Watchman.:--1 manor tell; she was stooping, sad was fast
asleep.
Here several of the Idly agates:pressed their astonishment at
the manner in which the watchman gave his testimony, and hoped
the Coroner would not allow him to go at large till the matter was
clearly investigated.
The witless seemed now rather confused, and at the suggestion
of the Jury he was taken by Edgson, the constable, to view the
body at the workhouse, is order that he might report to them if It
was the body of the female who was the subject of this Inquiry,
and on his return he declared he could not identify her features, or
any part of her wearing-apparel.
Mr. James Bland, the sexton of Hammersmith chinch, called In
and sworn.-1 reside opposite the watch-box where the young lady
had been placed. About five o'clock on Sunday morning, while in
my bed-roam, I observed two or three persons about the box, but
saw.nothing taken from it ; one of the men had a light coat on, and
one had a bundle, which appeared to be rolled up and dirty, under
Maim. They proceeded through the church-yard. There was a
penal with a wheelbarrow, but nothing was in it ; he seemed to 1
I` be in company with the others.
Coroner—Did you observe which way the man went with the
wheelbarrow ?
Witness-1 did not take particular notice.
Juror—Now. when you as. the man and wheelbarrow go sway,
did you see which way the other men went ?
Witness —I did not. •
Juror—When you saw this mysterious business going on, how
wax it ',Ott did tot make soma inquiry ?
The witness gave no answer.
Juror—The two men went through the church-yard, but not the
man with the barrow.
Witness—Yes; the last man, whose name is Woolley, I did ask
about the subject, and he told me that a woman was in the watch-
! box. I afterwards did see the unfortunate female.
Juror—Have you not heard that murder was cried ?
Witness—No, I haveno.
Juror—Have you not said to tome persons that you saw three
Men. and that one of them took a shawl from a person in the
watch-box ?
Witness—l saw something, but cannot say what it Was ; one of
them, pieced the article under his arm.
Juror—Had one of the men you saw one eve only ?
Witness—Not to my knowledge, nor do rbelieve I should know
them again.
Juror—Was it a long barrow et short oar, or hod it a tub on it ?

I said—for what purpose ? His reply was—a woman was there.
I said—and a man also; it so I shall not open the door. His ob-
servation was—he believed so. I then replied—l will not, but at
length did push the top part open, and saw nobody over the door
there, but observed a woman lying on the ground in the watch-box,
and her clothes were in a dismantled condition.
A Juryman here observed the case seemed so very mysterious
that he considered a full investigation ought to take place.
Jphn Davis the watchman was again called in, and examined.
Juror—Are you the father of a family ?
iiateliman—Yes. 1 am.
Juror.--Then your conduct is wonderful in the extreme, and un-
manly.
Witness—l certainly did not speak to her.
Juror—What, did not you speak to the female at all?
Witness—No, I did rot.
A Juror now swede several remarks, and said to him it appeared
van strange. This man, in my opinion, has not told the truth,
and ought to be made to do it.
Witness—l have.
Several Jurors—But not satisfactory to our minds.
Another Juror—There is something behind the curtain, and
others of my brother Jurymen are of the same opinion. I trbst
you will be kept in custody till you tell the truth.
Others of the Jurymen here said, it was useless to inquire fur-
ther with the witness, as he seemed not at alit° give a satisfactory
account of the transaction.
Mr. John Bowling, the parish surgeon at Hammersmith, was
called, about half-pest six o'clock on Sunday morning, to tee a
young woman supposed to be dying. His assistant went first, and
on his seeing her, he directly ordered the deceased to be conveyed
to the workhouse. He ordered also every requisite to be adminis-
tered ; but she expired in about three quarters of an hour. 'The
deceased was perfectly insensible at the time. 'Witness had exa-
mined the body since death. There was no external mark of in-
jury.
Coroner—Would not the exertion of a woman coming from Sr.
Paul's Church-yard to here (Hammersmith) cause something to
bring forward death ?
Mr. Bowling said the extremities of the unfortunate female
were cold when I first saw her. Ido not think there was any ex-
ternal violence used towards the deceased as I can imagine.
Miss Susan Frost resides at Bayswater. I knew the deceased,
whose name was Elisabeth Eunia, and ageSabourrd. had been
subject to tits for the last nine years, and.frequently fell in them.
They have been brought on by fatigue' and fright, and slit: fre-
quently complained of her head. Within theltuif fortnight, on her
getting up. she has been very lore spirited. ;Saw the deceased on
I Saturday morning, and knew she was corning to Isleworth. It
was about six in the morning.. Iter nvothet resides at Isleworth.
Believes she had only a few shillings in her pocket. Had a shawl
and black veil. She was a very weak youdg woman.
The Coroner now fuldressed the Jury,- and after recapitulating
the evidence. the following verdict was returned : -•
" That Elizabeth Ennis died by the visitation of God, but that
her death was accelerated through the culpable negligence of John
Davis, the watchman, in placing her in a situation where :the
could not obtain necessary assistance."
The investigation did not conclude until one o'clock yesterday
mottling.

DREADFUL CISE.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
Yesterday afternoon an inquisition • was taken at the Goat, Pim.
lico, before J. °ELL, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Samuel Cooke,
who came to his death under the following, shocking eireurn-
stances:—
George Scott, of 24, Princess-row, Pimlico, smith and farrier, on
his oath deposed, that he knew the deceased, who was ['Waft sixty
years of age, and liquor-man in AlLlEllica's brewery.. The deceased
was a widower, but lived with a woman named Letitia George. On
Friday last, the 29th ult., about nine o'clock in the evening, the
woman George being absent, witness invited the deceased into his
mom, but lie rejetted the invitation, and retired to his own apart-
ment. Witness then went to bed. About eleven o'clock witness
was alarmed by a disturbanoe in the deceased's bed-room ; lie heard
a wrangling between the deceased and the woman George : this
riot lasted about twenty minutes., when silence ensued. However a
few minutes afterwards witness heard groans, and directly after
he heard the deceased', voice:tolling upon him to come to his as-
sistance. Witness framediately got out of beil,.and going to the
deceased's room, saw him sitting in a chair; Mrs. Georgewas
near him. The deceased said to witness, that his wife (meaning
George) had given him a kick in a moat improper place, but in
what manner lie 'did no: describe, and begged that witness would
fetch a doctor. Mrs. George did rot say anything. Witness then
went for Mr. Watkins, the apothecary. The deceased. in my pre-
sence, told Mr. Watkins that the woman George had kicked him
violently in a most critical part. Mrs. George was present at this
time, and did not deny the assertion of the deceased.
Coroner—When you was first alarmed from your sleep, did you
hear any blows between the deceased and the woman George ?
Witness—No, I did not hear any blows given.
By a Juror—Was the deceased in a state of intoxication ?
Witness—No ; the deceased was perfectly sober, but the woman
George was inebriated.
Mr. Geo. Watkins, surgeon, cf Pimlico.terrace, being sworn,
stated, that on Friday last, about II o'clock at nigh:, be was called
in to attend the deceased, at his lodgings in Princess-row. The
deceased told witness that his wife, as lie called her, had kicked
him. On witness asking him where, he took aside his linch, and
pointed to the parts, when witness perceived that he was ruptured,
and that it bad not been of a recent date. Witness thoroughly ex-
amined the parts, to see where the injury was. The deceased told
witness that the woman George had kicked him with her naked
foot, and that it was on the ruptured part ; witness fomented the
parts, and applied every thing requisite.
Coroner—Pray, was the woman George present during your sue-
vey of the deceased ?
Witness—Yes ; but made no remark whatever ; indeed she did
I not open her mouth. On the following morning, about ten, wit-
' nem again saw the deceased in the presence of the woman George;
1 the tension of the abdomen was much swollen, tut he was not ma-
terially worse ; witness sent him some active purgative medicines.
The woman George, at this time, spoke to the witness, and re-
verted to the irregular habits of her' husband, and complained of
ill-usage from him, at the same time showing her arms, and other
parts °filler person, which were much discoloured ; the deceased
was present, and did not deny the accusation. Witness said that I
he had nothing to do with their quarrels, but advised them to keep
the peace, as they might both of them repent it one day. Witness
afterwards went out of town, leaving directions with his son-in-law
Ito particularly attend to the deceased, and if requisite, to apply a
i dozen leeches to the parts.
By a Juror—Was the deceased on the Friday night in a state of
intemication ?
Witness—He appeared perfectly sober.
Coroner—Was the injury the deceased received from the woman;
George the cause of his death ?
Witness—l cannot answer that question, unless I saw the body
opened.
I /3y a Juror—l think it most proper that this Jury should ad-1
journ till the body is opened.
Coroner—But first let us hear the testimony of Mr. Jones.
Mr. John William Janes, step-son is the last witness. on his
oath deposed, that he is a student of medicine. fin last Saturday
evening, about seven o'clock, witness visited the deceased; the
medicine had not operated, and the woman George, of her own
!accord, had given the deceased some castor oil. The decease)
I complained of great pain over the ravel ; witness ordered Mime-
diate fomentation', and medicine to be taken every hour, until the
1 bowels were relieved. The woman George appeared totally indif-
ferent as to the recovery of the deceased, and objected to medicine
being sent, saying, by sending to Mr. Dingle, one of the Board,
she could procure them free of expense. About ten o'clock the
same night the witness Scott came to witness, saying the deceased
was dying. Witness instantly went, and found the deceased dead.
Witness cannot assign a certain cause for his death; but the pro-
bable one was infiamniation of the bowels, excited by whet—wit-
ness cannot positively say; his bowels not having been mined for
the space of four days, might produce internal inflammation. The
injury he received might also produce inflammation, particularly as
he was ruptured.
By a Juror—Did the deceased complain of the woman George,
saying that she was the cause of his illness? -
Witness—The deceased said that the woman George had kicked
him twice there, but he did not appear to be very inveterate
against her. .
The Coroner addressed the Jury, 'and said that if they decided
upon the case now, their verdict could not criminate the woman
George; but if they adjourned till the body was opened, they
would have the opinion of the surgeon as to the probable cause of
the dissolution of the deceased ; and by that opinion they would in ,
a great measure be biassed as to their verdict.
The Jury concurred with *the Coiner as to the propriety of ad-1
jouming the inquiry ; not that they could procure further evidence,
hut the result of the surgeon's examination would be of the
greatest importance.
The Jury accordingly adjourned till Thursday next, when any,
evidence that may be procured in the intermediate tune will be
brought forward.
The woman George is now confined Tothill-fielOs Bridewell, '
where she will be kept till the decision of the Coroner's In-
quest.
A son of the unfortunate deceased was present, and claimed per.'
mission from the Coroner to have his father buried; when

Mr. tirta. •aid, that for the earls of justice the body moat he
opened; but di:ectly afterwards it would b: at his (the son's) dis.
