Discovery of the Body of a Female in
Thames.

An inquest was held on Monday night at the
King's Arms Tavern, Rotherhithe, on the body of le
female, which was discovered a few days since 10
the river Thames in a state of nudity. This strange
and suspicious circumstance created considerable
excitement in the neighbourhood, the belief being
that the unfortunate woman had been murdered and
the body having been stripped thrown into the
water. The matter was communicated to Sir B:
Mayne, and two detective officers were instructed
to make every inquiry, which they had done, but
without effect. Both the officers alluded to were
present during the proceedings of the inquest.
William Dixon, a labourer, living in Elephant"
land, Rotherhithe, deposed that on Friday he was et
work on board a dredger off the Horns publichoueet
Rotherbithe Stairs. About ten minutes after ten
o'clock in the morning he (witness) noticed some`
thing at the bottom of the water, and directly after
a dead body rose to the surface, and he with afoot-
ance succeeded in securing it. An officer afterwards
took charge of the body, and it was taken to the
dead-house of the parish. The body was much de-
composed, and had no clothing on whatever.
Dr. W. Mindock, of Rotherbithe, stated that he
had examined the body, and found it was that of a
female apparently about thirty years of age. The,
body, which was perfectly naked, was far advance'
in a state of decomposition. One of the lips was
wanting, and the head was denuded of hair. The
deceased had no doubt been in the water fora con'
siderable time.

The learned Coroner said there was no doubt the
case was one of a most singular character. Vaft)"
tunately, however, it was impossible, from the state
of decomposition of the body, to make any ideal'
fication so that further inquiries might be Made'
Again, as there were no clothes, there was n°
chance of gaining-any clue in that way. He 1;1°
afraid the case could not be oarried any further, but
of course if the police heard of anything more they
could act upon it.
The Jury ultimately returned an open verdict,
to the effect that the deceased was found dead in
the river Thames, bat how she came there there
was no evidence to show.
