THE MANCHESTER MURDERS.

Yesterday morning the inquiry into the circum-
stances of the death of Mr. Moller and of the three
children was resumed before the magistrates.
The medical evidence and the evidence of the
gentlemen who had analysed the organs of the chil-
dren were given. The post-mortem examinations
showed that the deaths of the three children were
simultaneous ; that the deaths must have bt:en sud-
den ; that the bodies were in a healthy state ; and.
that death could not have been the result of saiural
causes, and must have been produced either by ,some
poison administered in the shape of vapour or by: suf
focation. The chemical evidence showed that no it `i•
taut or narcotic poison, or in fact poison of any kind,•
was discovered.' But those who made the exami-
nation deposed that though they did not find.
poison it was quite possible that death was the
result of some poison—probably:chloroform—admi-
nistered in the shape of vapour, and that if it lias
so the chloroform could not be discovered.
Professor Alfred Swaine Taylor, Fellow of the
Royal College of Physicians and Professor of
Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence at Guy's
Hospital, read a written report of his examitua2on
of the contents of the jars, and the conclusions he
had arrived at. He said it was his opinion, from.
what he had seen, and from the evidence he had.
caused by the vapour of chloroform, 0; Y
heard, that the death of the chip,irerbr had been
an act of
smothering or suffocation.
The prisoners were committed to take their trial
for the murder of Mr. Meller. The chars'© with
respect to the children was then disposed.
