THE INQUEST-THIS DAY.

This mulling Mr Humphreys, the coroner for East
Middlesex, resumed the inquiry touching the death of MI
Briggs, alleged to have been murdered on the 9th of July
on the North London Railway. Although so early an hour
as 8 o'clock was fixed for the commencement of the pro-
ceedings, a large crowd assembled outside the Hackney
Town-hall, in the hope of catching a glimpse of Mul er,
who. it had been arranged, would be in attendance for the
purpose of hearing read over the evidence which had been
taken on previous days. The inquest room was densely
crowded.

Precisely at 8 o'clock Muller was brought lab o the ic quest
room in custody of Inspector Tanner. Ile was brought
from the House of Detention in the prison van, and on
reaching the Town-hall he was received with lout execra •
tions. On entering the inquest room he at once entered
into earnest conversation with Mr Beard, his solicitor, on
whose application witnesses were ordered out of court.
George Blythe said that Muller lodged in his house. Ho
saw him on Saturday, the 9th July. On the following day
they walked out together. He wore the dress he had been
in the habit of wearing. He recognised Muller in Court.
By Mr Beard—He wore the same clothes on Sunday as
he had worn on Saturday.
By a Juror—He did not know whether he had any change
of linen.

Mrs Blythe, who was examined on a previous occasion,
was recalled, and identified Muller. She said ho had six
new shirts when he left.

Matthews the cabman, Mrs Matthews, Haifa, Sergeant
Clarke, Inspector Tanner, and Mr John Death identified
Muller es the person to whom they had referred in their
evidence.

Mr T. Briggs said his father usually wore his necktie
in a bow, and at the time of the occurrence he wore a
mourning band on his hat, He believed that the hat which
had been produced and inspected was his father's.
The Coroner said this was the evidence on which he
should wish the jury to consider their verdict. The inquiry
had extended over several days, and possibly some of it
might have escaped their recollection. The Coroner then
prom ded to road the testimony of the various witnesses,
commencing with that of Mr Thomas Briggs, Muller lis-
tened with marked attention to the evidence, and several
times made remarks to Mr Beard on the subject of it. It
will be remembered that Mrs Buchanan, the niece of the
deceased, said in the course of her evidence that she knew
a person who had asked her uncle for a loan, which had
been refused. That person had declared he would do her
uncle an injury. This evidence seemed particularly- to at-
tract Muller's attention, who evinced much astonishment
while it was being read.
On arriving at the evidence of Mr Leigh, who stated that
he saw two persons in the carriage with the deceased en the
night of the murder, that gentleman, at the request of the
jury was recalled, and in answer to questions, said he could
net identify Muller AS3 one of those persons.
A juror suggested that Muller might put on the hat,
which was found in the carriage.
Muller put on the hat and stood up, but Mr Leigh could
not identify him.
Mr Beard—Can you describe the two men you saw in the
carriage ?
Mr Leigh —The man who rat by the Bide of Mr Briggs

"TUE GREAT WizAßD".—Professor Anderson,
so well known throughout the world as the
" Wizard of the North," continues nightly, at St.
James's Hall, to unfold his " World of Magic" to
overflowing audiences. His mysterious art is peas
fectly astounding; and, as handkerchiefs are torn
up, rings broken, watches transported from one side
of the hall to the other, water turned into wine,
and vice versa, the wonder of the beholder is
worked up to a pitch impossible to describe. We are
glad to see that, with his characteristic liberality,
the Professor reirposes devoting a portion of the
Hall every Saturday to the children of the different
charity and other schools in London. The boys of
the Chelsea Military School, with their unique band,
are to have the privilege next Saturday, which will
be a great attraction. We have no doubt the little
fellows will enjqy greatly the treat in store for
them, and will also contribute, in no small degree,
with their musical talent, to the delight of the other
visitors to the " Magic Hall." Accommodation
will, we understand, be provided for about 330 boys
and girls; and we would recommend managers of
schools, who wish to take advantage of this very
laudable and generous offer, to apply at once to the
managing director, Mr. A. Nimmo, who will give
all information as to the date and regulation for the
reception of eac school.

LORD BROUGLIAIII.—Mr Soseplf, Wilkinson, of
Bonscale, Ullswater, a veteran politician, who formerly
took great interest in the election contests of Lord Brougham
in Westmortland, has just erected a stone pillar upon the
mountain calk(' lialle, in commemoration of the BGth
birthday of the noble and venerable peer, The mountain
on which the memorial stands commands a beautiful view
of the lake of U Ilswater and its surroundings. The pillar
is 12 feet high, and is conspicuous enough to be se.m from
Cross Fell with the aid of a glass.
