The Mysterious Deaths at Wolverhampton
and Dudley.

Yesterday the adjourned inquest was held in Wolver-
hampton, on the body of the man William Cheenery, who
was found dead in a house in Wolverhampton, his head
having been frightfully injured, apparently with a hatchet,
with the cognisance, there is no doubt, of the young woman,
Resannah Steadman, who had lived with him as his wife,
locked up the house in which Cheenery was found, and who,
the day before the house was forced open by the neighbours,
was discovered dead in an empty house in Dudley, her
body, like that of her murdered paramour Cheenery far
gone in decomposition, but which, on the authority of the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, was exhumed
frem the Dudley Cemetery.
The Chief Constable at Wolverhampton (Capt. Segrave)
was present during the inquiry.
Tho first witness called was—

Alfred Hill, who deposed—l am a doctor of medicine, and
reside at Birmingham, in the county of Warwick. On the
10th day of September inst. I received two glass jars, scaled
up, from Police-constable John Bealey. Upon opening them
I found the stomach, liver, spleen, and hand of a human
being, with also portions of a woman's dress. On the 13th
inst., by the direction of Mr. Thomas Moss Phillips, coro-
ner, I made an examination and analysis of them, and the
following is the result :---From the stomach I have ob-
tained indications of the presence of morphia (the essential
principle of opium) by means of the iodic-acid test. The
reaction with the nitric acid test was, however, dubious,
and not positively and absolutely confirmatory of the iodic-
acid test. I obtained no evidence of its presence in the liver
or spleen, nor of the presence of any other poison in any of
the organs. The black stain upon the light pieco of dress
consisted of tar and fat, the latter probably derived from
decomposition of the body. Another portion of dress pre-
sented a red amok, due to red paint, containing lead and
red ochre. The black mark on the hand, like the black
stain on the dress, consisted of tar. As decomposition had
proceeded so very far, and as the bloodvessels had been rup-
tured, and divided in amputating the hand, I did not deem
it desirable to prosecute a search upon it for blood, as the
detection of its presence even might lead to fallacious con-
clusions. His experiments had taken 14 days before they
were completed.
The portions of a human frame, spoken of by Dr. Hill,
were taken from the corpse of the woman Cheenery by Mr.
Nesbitt and Mr. Keogh, surgeons, of Woverhampton,
after the body had been taken from the grave at Dudley.
The presence of tar on the hand and dress still further
identifies this woman with Cheenery's murder, for it will
be remembered that the body of that unhappy man had had
gas tar in a partially hot state brushed over it.
Thomas Gatehouse, an assistant to Mr. Bayley, chemist,
of Bilston, deposed that on an afternoon towards the end
of July last, he remembered selling two-pennyworth of
laudanum to a woman who wore a showl with much red
in it. The woman was about five feet in height. (The
shawl which was found in the house at Dudley, hanging
up with the bonnet to the skylight in the same room in
which Steadman's corpse was lying, was here produced, and
the witness identified it as that to which he referred ; also
the laudanum lobel found in the house atD udley.) He served
her with the laudanum because she gave him a satisfactory
answer as to the use to which she wished to put it. He sold
to one customer an ounce of laudanum a-day, for she could
not live without it.

Several witnesses were then examined as to quarrels be-
tween Steadman and Cheenery respecting a hawker of
matches, with whom the latter charged Steadman with
having had improper intercourse at Birmingham, and also
as to conversations which same of the witnesses had had
with the matchman after the murder.

Ultimately the inquiry was adjourned for a month to
afford the police time to trace out the watchman.

THE DUNDEE MURDER CASE.-PERTH, SATUR.
DAY, 9 p.m.—The autumn circuit closed here to-night at
9 o'clock, the last case being Grant's, from Dundee, for the
murder of his wife. After a lengthened trial the jury found
him not guilty. The verdict was received with immense
cheering both in court and in the streets. The crowd fol-
lowed Mr. Grant and his friends to tho hotel, cheering most
enthusiastically.

nusT OF SHAKsPEARE—by the American sculp-
tor Greenough.—The bust is intended to be sent to
England on the occasion of the Shakspeare festival, and
will, no doubt, produce all the effect, as a work
of art, that it has already done here. The realisation of
Shakspeare—of whom no bust exists save that at Stratford-
on-Avon—had long been a favourite dream of the artist's;
and, as is the case so often, it was by chance rather than
by choice that he was hurried into its execution. He was
one evening expressing his regret that no real and
thoroughly authenticated portrait, from which a bust of the
great poet could be taken, was in existence; the only one
possessing the smallest claim to attention being the
Chandos, which bears too great a stamp of ideality for
artists to accept it without some little doubt. It so hap
pened that the lady to whom Greenough was thus address-
ing his complaint was a rich lady of Boston, Miss Joy,
whose father, when emigrating to America, towards the lat-
ter end of the last century, bore with him numberless speci-
mens of art and vertu, which had made his house in Boston
a complete museum. The lady, on hearing the sculptor's ob
servation, rather startled him by declaring that she had in
her possession, at Boston, a real and original portrait of
Shakspearo—one over which no doubt could be thrown
—painted by Zucchero, the Court painter of Shakspeore's
time, whose portraits of Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter
Raleigh are well known by amateurs, and whose signature
appears at the corner of this very portrait of Shakspeare !
The painting was bought by Mr. Joy at the sale of various
effects and curiosities, the property of a gentleman who had
once owned much of the property belonging to an indivi-
dual whose ancestor had been proprietor of the Globe
Tavern. The tradition conveyed with the picture to Mr.
Joy wos, that it was known to have been the Sbakspeare
belonging to the collection at the Globe, and that Zucehero
had painted it in one of the rooms of the tavern. The de-
scription, of course, fired the artist, who promised to wait
till Miss Joy's return to Boston, where she would have the
painting photographed for his benefit. This was done, and
it is partly from this original portrait of the immortal Shak-
speare, and partly from his own conception of what the
original o► that picture niust have been a few years before
it was taken, that the bust just completed has been done.
It is a beautiful work, full of fire and gentleness, and, above
all, possesses the individuality which is wanting in all the
portraits of ShakFpearc hitherto seen,

The Channel Fleet at Liverpool.

On Monday night the officers of the Channel Fleet
were entertained by the Royal Mersey Yacht Club
to a magnificent banquet at the Philharmonic Hall,
Liverpool. Although the charge for the dinner
tickets was high (three guineas) and the accommoda-
tion extensive, every place was quickly and eagerly
secured. The entrance-hall was fitted up as a con-
servatory, the boxes and galleries were thrown open
to the ladies, and here too every seat was occupied
by the elite of Liverpool. During the evening the
ladies were served with ices and fruit. The chorus
of the Philharmonic Society tendered their services
on the occasion, and sang in the intervals between
the toasts. The tables were literally covered with
silver plate, kindly contributed for the occasion.
There was likewise displayed a considerable num-
ber of the vases, candelabra, and other prizes won
by various members of the Mersey Yacht Club.
The cross or principal table was especially rich in
silver plate. Immediately behind the chairman's
seat was a tastefully arranged buffet, consisting of
some magnificent pieces of silver plate, backed by
a row of massive shields. Every table was beauti-
fied with vases of flowers. The magnificent cande-
labra, as well as being ornamental, were applied to
a useful purpose; all were furnished with candles
and lighted, and during the evening no fewer than
500 wax tapers threw ad3itional light into the hall,
causing the bright plate and gorgeous trappings of
the tables to be reflected on every hand. The guests
were received by Commodore Graves, Major Melly,
Mr. F. B. Moyley, Mr. Carlyle, and other members
of the club, to whom is due the credit of having in
the apace of a very few days organised this grand
banquet. The guests numbered in all 480, of whom
144 were officers of the fleet. There was a very
large staff of honorary stewards, each of whom wore
badges elaborately executed in watered satin,
worked in silk and gold, with an anchor and crown,
supported by an ensign and union jack, and with a
liver underneath.

The Cunard Company placed at the disposal of
the club a large staff of stewards in uniform, who
attended solely to the wine department. Mr. Har-
ker acted as toastmaster. On the removal of the
cloth,

The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the
Queen, the Duchess of Lancaster, and Patroness of
the Royal Mersey Yacht Club."
The chorus of the Philharmonic Society gave the
National Anthem in a style that elicited universal
commendation.

j The CHAIRMAN next gave " the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family."
The toast of " the Bishop and Clergy of the
Diocese" was responded to by Archdeacon Jones.
The CHAIRMAN next rose and proposed " the
Navy, Army, and Volunteer Services," which were
respectively responded to by Admiral Evans (Con-
servator of the Mersey), Colonel Sir John Jones,
C. 8., and Lieutenant-Colonel M'lver.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of the
evening, " Admiral Dacres and the Officers of the
Channel Fleet." The chairman said your reception
of this toast is but a reiteration of the shout of wel-
come which rose on this day week from the count-
less thousands who lined our shores—(cheers)—and
if those shouts of welcome were not suffik..ient to
convince Admiral Dacres and the officers of the
Channel Fleet how thoroughly welcome they are
in our port, I can scarcely hope that any words of
mine can convince them that they are welcome.
For the first time in the annals of Liverpool a Chan-
nel squadron floats Oil the broad waters of the Mer-
sey, and though that fleet be few in number it is
sufficiently mighty in power to be at this very
moment the arbiter of peace or war. (Loud ap-
plause.) It has efforded to us an opportunity of
testing the capabilities of our port, of which before
we were utterly unaware; but I have the gallant
admiral's opinion this evening that our port can
not only contain with safety the Channel squadron,
hut the whole navy of England. (Cheers.) It
has also afforded to us an opportunity of show.
ing to the gallant admiral, the officers, and men
the extent and importance of that commerce
which will be handed over to their care in the
great hour of need. (Applause.) And fur-
ther still, it has given to us the pleasure
of meeting in social intercourse the officers who
command the Channel squadron of England this
day. (Cheers.) I need scarcely say one word of
the pleasure which it has afforded to the town, for
the joy which has lighted up every face since the
fleet entered the Mersey is the best answer I can
give as to what the feeling of the town is. (Ap-
plause.) And I may say that what we have seen
of those who are in charge of that fleet has materi-
ally added to the friendly feeling which has always
existed for the blue jackets of England. (Cheers.)
The admiral has asked me not to put too much
blarney into my speech. (Laughter.) Therefore I
will spare him on this occasion, and I know that
at this time no words are needed from me to
commend this toast to your most hearty reception,
for you feel as I do the greatest pleasure in seeing
around the festive board this evening the officers of
the Channel Fleet and the representatives of the
English navy. (Loud cheers.) It is not, however,
from mere curiosity that you are assembled here
to-night. It is not the mere idle curiosity that
prompts the ovation to the Channel Fleet at every
pert it has touched from the moment it left Spit-
head until the time when it cast anchor in the Mer-
sey. There is in that ovation a deeper and more
significant meaning. There are unmistakeably
shown in that ovation the feelings and opinions of
the reflecting minds of the country that, come what
will, cost what it may, the defence of England rests
in her navy, (Loud applause.) Fortifications
have had their day, and ships are now having
theirs, and though we may alter the material of
which those ships are made we never will alter the
" hearts of oak" with which they are manned.
(Loud applause.) The simple fact is, and I ask you
to endorco this opinion, that we are determined to
havo the navy equipped and manned in every re-
spect sufficient to cope with any power whose mis-
fortune it may be to be our enemy—(a laugh, and
Hear, hear), or any combination of Powers. I
can safely, simply, and truthfully assure the gallant
admiral and the officers who are our honoured guests
this evening, that the feeling which we have exhi-
bited towards them to-night is not merely the feel-
ing of the moment, and that when they leave our
port the feeling will not vanish. (Hear, hear.)
Those officers who came here a few days ago as
strangers will leave us as friends. (Cheers.) When
in other climes, or in other countries—wherever
duty may call them to serve—the record of their
doings will often bring back with it many agreeable
and pleasant recollections of the visit of the Channel
Fleet to Liverpool; and we should, in fact, realise
the idea of the bard when he wrote ;

You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will cling round it still.
(Applause.) And now, ladies, for I take the liberty
on this occasion to address you, for I know full well
your feelings for the " blue jackets" are as keen and
as sensitive as ours, and I will ask you to rise on
this single occasion and juin with us in doing hon-
our to Admiral Dacte3 and the officers of the Chan-
ritl Fleet_ (The whole company unanrnet!s!y rose
to respond to the toast ; the gentlemen cliecri.d, the
ladies waved their handkerchiefs, anti the scene was
CEO of the greatest enthusiasm.) _ _

Admiral DACRES, who v.-as received with en-
tinned applause, replied as follows—You are per-
fcctly aware, as well as I am, that we have been
going a tour of the British Isles, through what 1
think a very fur-sighted policy of theßritish Govern•
ment. Wherever we have been we have been re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm, and this has
very often set me thinking, and raised in my
mind a feeling of pride—pride that I belonged
to a country where so much patriotism exists.
When we sailors are at sea we feel, and the best
of oar men feel, influenced by kindness like
