ALLEGED MURDER IN LAMBETH.
Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Bull,
Lambeth-butts, on the body of Jane Perry, whose death
was alleged to have been causd by her husband's
violence on Sunday morning last. The husband was
taken into custody at the time, and brought before Mr.
Elliott, at the Lambeth Police-court, on Monday, when
ho was remanded to await the result of the present in-

quiry.
George Mitchell, who lodged in the same house as
deceased and the prisoner, stated that the :former was
very much intoxicated on Saturday night; that she and
her husband quarrelled; that ho heard a scuffle on the
floor above and a fall; and that afterwards the husband
came down stairs and said his wife was lying at the bot-
tom
of the stairs. Witness assisted him up with the
deceased, who was quite dead; but he could not tell how
she got at the bottom of the stairs.
Mr. Thompson, a surgeon, said he had examined the
deceased, and he was of opinion that death was caused
by concussion of the brain by deceased failing on her
left temple while in a state of intoxication. There was
a wound over the left eye the result of the fall, and not
of a blow. That caused instantaneous death.
The jury returned as their verdict—" That deceased's
death was caused by concussion of the brain, the result
of a fall."
