THE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday, the Liverpool borough coroner re-
sumed the inquest on the body of the young woman,
Eliza Jones, who was murdered by a young man
named Pennington, a sailor, who had been keeping
company with the deceased for about four years.
The facts of the case are these :—On Thursday
evening last the murderer, Pennington, went to the
residence of deceased's mother, in Earl-street, off
Great Homer-street, and after staying some time he,
in company with his sweetheart, left for the pur-
pose of going to a singing saloon, in Williamson-
square, kept by a man named Goodburn. It appears
that deceased and Pennington reached Goodburn's
at about ten o'clock at night, and entered the sing-
ing saloon, where Pennington had something to
drink. Whilst there Pennington had occasion to go
to the bar, and when there he complained to Good-
burn that " she (meaning the deceased) was making
it up with some other chap." The barkeeper states
that Pennington appeared greatly excited at the
time, and Goodburn swears that he saw a dagger
knife—one produced before the coroner—sticking
in a belt underneath Pennington's coat. Immediately
after the deceased and her murderer left the house,
and about half an hour afterwards a report was raised
that a woman had been murdered in St. John's-
lane, and that the police had taken her to the Royal
Infirmary. Goodburn hearing of this went at once
to the infirmary, and there identified deceased as
the woman who had been with Pennington at the
singing house. The mother of the murdered girl
stated that on Thursday evening last Pennington
came to her house ands

"Joey Jones's sister." Witness asked which of
them, when Pennington said, " Eliza, the eldest. I
bought a knife ; they wanted a dollar for it ; but I
gave them 35." Pennington then left witness's
shop. Several other witnesses having been exa-
mined the jury returned a verdict of " 'Wilful mur-
der against John Pennington," and a warrant was
at once issued for his apprehension. Sir George
Grey, we understand, is about to grant a reward for
the apprehension of the murderer.
