The Murder and Suicide at Isleworth.

Tbis morning Mr. Bird, the coroner, held an inquest on
the body of Daniel Dowsett, who, it will be recollected,
stood charged with the murder of his wife by cutting her
throat. The deceased woman was a laundress, and was
found dead in her drying ground, and from the circum-
stance of the husband being the only person near at the
time, he was suspected of the murder. Before he was
taken into custody he inflicted a frightful wound in his
throat, and then attempted to jump into the river Caine.
He was, however, secured and taken by the police to the
Isleworth Infirmary, where, after lingering 10 weeks, he
died two days ago. He was sensible during the time but
for short intervals, during some of which he said the
matter was a bad job, and that he had no desire to recover.
Alfred Randall, an errand boy, deposed to having seen Mrs.
Dowsett lying in the meadow with her throat cut, and her
husband by her side. Police-constable Wilson said he
found the deceased man lying on the bank of the river
Caine, and as he was bleeding ho took him to the Infirmary.
Dr. Mackinlay said the cause of the death of Dowsett was
the wounds on the neck. The jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the deceased died from self-inflicted wounds,
but that there was no evidence to show the state of his
mind at the time.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per raille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per LI sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
i7s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-ICtla per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
