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 t)me 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 bad 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

Grey, we understand, is about to grant a reward for
the apprehension of the murderer.
