MURDER AND A 7 TEMPTED SUICIDE

IN ITIE CITY-ROAD.

ADJOURNED INQUEST THIS DAY.

This morning Mr. Join Humphreys, coroner for the
eastern division of Middlesex, resumed the inquiry at the
Queen's Head Tavern, Piffleld-street, Roston, into the cause
of death of Charles Cook, aged 15 months, the infant son
of Mark and Adelaide Cole, of 18, Brunswick-place, City-
road, who, it was alleged, was murdered by its mother,
Adelaide Coole, on the afternoon of the 7th August last,
by cutting its throat, and who afterwards attempted her
own life by cutting her throat.

The circumstances attenling this melancholy occurrence,
following so closely upon end in part resembling that of the
unfortunate Mrs. Vyse, has recently appeared in the
examination at the prelious inquest. All the m,terial
and necessary legal facts have been detailed in evidence,
and the inquiry was ad;outmed to this morning, in order
that Mrs. Co‘,le, who had been permitted under the advice
of her medical attendant, owing to her dangerous state from
the nature of the injuries she inflicted upon herself, to re-
main in the custody of the police, might attend and hear
the evidence that had keen adduced against her, but on the
reassembling of the jury it turned out that. Mrs. Coole was
to be taken this morning before the police magistrate at
Worship-street, the Secretary of State having authorised
her appearance before the inquest after the examination if
necessary.

Mr. Thomas Wm. Rogers, jun., solicitor, of 70, Fen-
church-street, City, at.endad on the part of Mrs. Coole,
The Coroner asked 1 there was any further evidence ?

Waller, the sunirooling officer, said he had none.
Dr. Rogers, of 117, the medical attendant of Mrs. Coole,
in answer to the Coroner, said that his patient was so far
recovered as to be enabled to attend the idquiry this morn-
ing.

The Coroner then, in addressing the jury, said that in the
ordinary course a lA-ismer would be, in the first instance,
taken before the magicrates, and it would be for their con-
sideration whether it asculd be worth while to adjourn the
inquiry for the purpose of having the prisoner present, or
whether it would net be more convenient to come to a deci-
sion upon the evidence before them, as it was generally ad-
visalle, and in many cams almost necessary, that the person
accused should bo present to hear the evidence, as there
might be important questions which would require explana-
tion, and the accused ought to have the opportunity of ask-
ing the witnesses any quastion that the solicitor might think
necessary, at the same time, he thought in the present case
there could be no ,ossible difficulty, it was clear that the
deceased Charles Coole. died from the wounds in the throat,
and it was equally clear that those wounds were inflicted
by the accused, Mrs. Cools. He should therefore ask the
jury to say whether they were disposed to determine the
case, or whether they would adjourn, if they did so, he
would undertake the prisoner should be forthcoming.
The jury intimated they thought it would be unnecessary
to adjourn, but one of them wanted to deal with the ques-
tion of insanity.

The Coroner said the jury had nothing to do with the
question of insanity, ali they had to do was to ascertain the
oause of death, and who caused that death, and in the pre-
et nt case the evidence was sufficiently clear on both points.
The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of
wilful murder against A.dolaide Coole.

The Coroner then made out his warrant for her com-
mittal to Newgate, and handed it to Waller, the offioer, to
be lodged as a detainer against her.

At a later period of the day the unfortunate lady was
conveyed in a cab from her residence in Brunswick-place
in custody of the police, and accompanied by Dr. Rogers,
to the Worship• street police-oilice, and was placed at the
bar charged with the wilful murder of her infant son,
Charles Coole.

The evidence adduced was merely a recapitulation of
that taken before the coroner, and already reported in The
Sun.

THE ALLEGED WIDER AT EDINBURGH...—
Several witnesses, relatives and neighbours of the deceased
woman Charles, whose husband is in custody on the charge
of murdering her, were yesterday examined by the Pro-
curator- Fiscal. The resu:t of the precognition, and of the
post mortem examination, will not be made public until the
trial, but we understand it is in evidence that at the time
of her death Mrs. Charles was labouring under a mortal
disease; and the pr2sumpticn is that her death was caused
more by the excitement induced by her husband's dis-
orderly behaviour than by any actual violence he had
offered to her,—Scot. gran,
