THE MURDER AT WORCESTER'.

WORCESTER, MONDAY.
The inquest on the body of Emily Jones, who was
found murdered in a pool near Perry Wood, within
a mile of this city, on Wednesday last, under cir-
cumstances which could leave little doubt that .her
sweetheart, a man named Grundy, had killed her,
was resumed and concluded before Mr. W. S. P.
Hughes, county coroner, this afternoon.
The evidence given on the former examina-
tion had proved that the deceased had been in
company with the prisoner Grundy all Tuesday
night, and they had then been seen walking
together in the fields near Perry Wood early on
Wednesday morning. When last seen together,
about 9 o'clock that morning, they were walking
across a field in the direction of the pool, and were
seen to within 70 or 80 yards of it.
Two witnesses were now examined.
John Holder and George Smith were engaged on
the Midland Railway, who saw the prisoner coming
from the direction of the pool at about- half-past 9
o'clock on Wednesday morning. He was walking
very fast.
Harriet Grundy, sister to the prisoner, deposed
that when the prisoner came home, shortly before
10 on the Wednesday morning, he appeared agi-
tated, and continually exclaimed, " I've done for
her." He did not say whom he meant by " her.?
She judged from her brother's countenance that
something serious had happened. He had been in
an asylum from July to October last. He had a
quantity of laudanum in his possession oa the pre-
vious Monday, in consequence of which, her mother
had given information to the police, and he had
been taken before the magistrates on Tuesday, but
was discharged by them on his undertaking to ap-
pear again before them next day. [ln the mean-
time, however, the deed had been done.]
Mr. Budd, surgeon, described the results of the
post mortem examination. He found two severe
wounds on the left and back side of the head, ap-
parently caused by some blunt instrument, possibly
the hedge stake (produced) found in the pool by
the side of the body. Death had resulted from the
effect of these two blows, which hod caused concus-
sion. it was not caused by drowning. There was
no water the windpipe or air tube. The stomach
was healthy, and there were no symptoms of death
by drowning.
The jury, after a short deliberation, found a ver-
dict of wilful murder against Grundy.
The prisoner was not present during the exami-
nation, the magistrate before whom he had been
taken, and by whom he had been remanded, refus-
ing to alloW him to be removed from the gaol. The
coroner had, accordingly, applied to the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, raw declined to
interfere.

POETICAL FAME.—Voltaire says that the repo•
tation of Dante will continually be greater and greater be-
cause there is nobody now that reads him. This sentiment
must be a source of great gratification to many of our
modern poets, who have already lived to see themselves
arrive at this point of greatness.
