THE SOUTHAiurTON MURDER. SouTHAmPTON, Oct.
24.—Last evening the adjourned inquest touching the
death of Naomi Kingawell, who was killed on Sunday
week last by the hand of her fellow servant, Abraham
Baker, was resumed at the Royal Hotel, before Mr. E.
Coxwell, coroner. After the jury had been sworn the
coroner said that his reason for adjourning the investi-
gation wan for the purpose of communicating with the
Secretary of State, in order, if possible, to procure *a
attendance of the man Baker, who had been committed
by the* magistrates for the wilful murder of the deceased
a week previously. In this, however, he had not suc-
ceeded, for in reply to a letter which had been forwarded
to Sir George Grey, that gentleman did not consider
that in this instance the presence of the accused person
was in any way required to aid the ends of justice, but
if he (the coroner) thought differently, he must ap-
ply to a judge for a writ of habeas corpus. This
course, in the present instance, the coroner did not
feel inclined to adopt, although in almost every case
it might be very essential to have the prisoner pre-
sent. Under the circumstances, therefore, he should
examine one witness only, and that one the person
who saw the act committed. Charlotte Lacey, the cook,
was then sworn, and gave almost verbatim: the same evi-
dence which she gave before the magistrates on Monday
week last, and which was published in The Sun on the
a
following day. It having appeared in many of the local
other journals that the accused bad been dismissed
the service of the Rev. W. Poynder, his master, for dis-
honesty, and which was at the time of the murder stated
to be the cause of a disagreement between Baker and the
m
murdered girl, although there was nothing in the evi-
dence to show that such was the case, yet it was elicited
from
that Baker had been sus-
pectedthe w
of
purloiningitness by a
moneys,
jurymanon s,
and that some marked
silver had been given to her by the prisoner in change.
The jury, without the slightest deliberation, found a
verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Abraham Baker,
who was committed to Winchester or Southampton
County Gaol to take hie trial at the ensuing assizes.
Siuce the committal of the murderer by the magistrates
he has made a long and rambling statement to the mayor,
which was taken down in writing, in which be endea-
vours to show a strong affection for the murdered girl,
who, he asserts, took a pleasure in thwarting and an-
noying - him. This, he s,a,ys, Was the Cages of his using
the " unlawful weapon.
DEATH OF SUPERINTENDENT MAT.—Mr. May, who
was the first man who ever wore the police uniform, died
on Tuesday night. When Sir Robert Peel's bill, provid-
ing for the establishment of the police force, was passed,
Mr. May was appointed a constable, and according to
the usual course went through the gradual gradations
until he attained the rank of superintendent. Mr. May
was highly respected in the force, and the officers who
have long worked with him intend' erecting a monument
to his memory.

SEVERE FAMILY APFLICTION.-13ouLoong-suz-MER
—John Wynne,
author of several very choice dramas, has just suffered
Esq., known in literary circles as the
an affliction more than usually painful, by the occur-
rence of three deaths in his family, and all within the
short period of three weeks. His two sons (only chil-
dren) and sister-in-law have been carried off by a severe
bronchial complaint. The latter, Miss Monier, a highly
accomplished young lady, fell a victim to her tender
assiduity while watching by the death-bed of her young
relatives. She wail to have been married in a short time
to a young officer in the French army stationed at Bou-
logne. The bodies were conveyed to England and in-
terred in Keneal-green: Death is sad in any shape ;
but a grief like this is bard indeed, and heavy to be
borne.
