deser.lled the place where they found the skeleton, soave
seventy yar-Js from Temple aar to the West,
Mr. Robert Stodart stated that he was of opinion
that the remains found were those of his father, from
the circumstance of the shoe which he had seen, and
could positively swear had been worn by him at the
time he was missed, which was sinoe the 26th of
April last, when he had been out drinking, and ca
home about two o'clock in the morning ; he, bowevesell
d;fi not stop a minute, but rushed o of the house,

father was of unsound mind, bad beot three times cells

would try
be lto
The deceased had on when eft
a blue coat, black trov7sers, light waistcoat,
and low
shoes ; be was about five feet eight inches'
,in height,
and 45 years of age ; his teeth were not good apes, and
but few of them remained. the
Mrs. Stoddart, of No. 9, Clerkenwell-green,
mother of last witness, said she could swear that '1341
shoe produced had belonged to her missing Unbend.
A Juror suggested that it would be as well to produce
the remains of clothing that bad been found, and if
those were identified, it would tend to fix the identity of
the body.
The clothes were produced, and after a close inspect-
tier, of them, Mrs. Stothard swore positively to the
s;:jrt having been corn by her husband. The shirts
worn by her husband wee plaited in at the top, but we-
like the generality of shirts, not at the bottom. The
remains of the shirt produced corresponded with the
witness's description.
The CORONER here asked of lospector ,Mellins if be
thought the bkeleton was complete,
The Inspector said yes, with the except`icu' of the
hands and feet, which had rotted off.
The Jury, after putting some further quest:onhi to
the relatives of the deceased, returned the follywil
verdict That the skeleton of a man had been fou'u"'
and from the evidence adduced, there was every Tease'
to suppose it was that of Robert Stoddart, who bad
; been missing from his home since April last, and who
i at the time of being missed was in as unsound state of
mind."
