Young,tendethe prostitutes
with a white funeral on Sunday
being asked for an explanation, said' it was
customary for the prostitutes to follow any of
their fallen sisters to the grave in pure white dresses
and carrying bouquets of flowers. The body of the
deceased, who had been a prostitute for many
years, was publicly exhibited for the landlady of
the house, a native of Germany, at ls. per head,
and she took-Zia or .£l.l on Thux"sday.
Mr. Selfe expressed the strongest indignation.
and disgust at such a proceeding., and asked,
" What am I to do?"
Brian asked if he could not remove the body by

force.
Mr. Selfe—No ;do not attempt to do that. I
cannot countenance anything of the kind.
Brian—Fourteen women in white and four: en
women in black are to follow my cousin's funeral o
Sunday.
Mr. Selfe—Let them bury the corpse. That is
all you want, I suppose ?
Brian—The foreign landlady is showing the body
to all that like to see it for a shilling each to-day.
Mr. Selfe—You are quite a boy. Is there no older
relative who can interfere ?
Brian—N. o: sir; my mother, who is the deceased's
own aunt, is in the country, and I am the only re-
lative in London.
Mr. Selfe—Was your mother on good terms with
deceased ? Did they visit each ether ?
Brian—Yes, sir, they did.
Mr. Selfe—l have no power whatever to interfere
in this case.
Brian—Can Igo to the house and take the body
away?
Mr. Selfe—You had better not. Where is the
body of the unfortunate woman ?
Brian—At home, sir, in the house where she was
murdered, and where the S
topaniard shot himself after-
wards . I want the body be buried respectably.
Mr. Selfe—You had better apply to the coroner
who presided at the inquest.
Brian—l did wait upon Mr. John Humphreys,
the coroner, on Thursday. He was very much sur-
prised that his orders were not carried out. He gave
directions that the body was to be delivered to the
relatives, if any appeared, and if not, it was to be
buried by the parish.
A respectable woman, named Heath, here said—
Will your worship order the body of the murdered
woman to be carried back to the dead-house, and
not be made a show of any longer ?
M. r.
r. Selfe —I cannot do that; it is not in my power
to interfere at all. The coroner has power to inter-
fere, and I would advise the youth who says he
is
deceased's cousin to wait upon the coroner again
and ask his advice. If any parish officer or other
person has acted contrary to the orders of the. coro-
ner they will be called upon to answer for it. Go
and see the coroner without delay.
The body of the murderer, Race, was removed on.
Thursday from the vault under Shadwell church
and conveyed by Mr. Burridge, the parish under-
taker and his men to Ilford Cemetery, where it was
buried by torchlight between the lours of 9 and 12
o'clock, and without any burial service being read
over the grave. Mr. Hann, the beadle of Shadwell,
was present to see that the requirements of the law
were carried

Mr. E. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, appeared

Mrs. Windham, on being sworn, stated that the
prisoner was her kitchen maid. When witness re-
turned home from the opera on Thursday night
week she missed a £lO note from her bed. She had
a £3OO note and four £lO notes under her pillow,
and she found all safe with the exception of one of
the £lO notes, which was missing. She asked her
servants about the note, but they denied all know-
ledge of it. The note was, however, traced to the
prisoner through the washerwoman. Several things
which she had not missed were found in prisoner's
box, consisting
and a pencil-case, all of which she identified as her

steak When he returned he only brought beef
instead of rump, and this circumstance ap-
peared to have still further annoyed Mrs. Walters.
She (Mrs. Walters) then said that she would get
some rump steak, and in passing the deceased pushed
against him. He had a glass of beer in his hand at
the time, and when she pushed against him he
threw the beer into her face, calling her a vile name.
Directly the beer was thrown in her face she be-
came violently excited, and seized a knife and struck
the deceased with it. The knife was in a basin
containing some potatoes, which stood upon the
table. Witness could not tell where the knife struck
him, but she noticed that after he put his hand up
to his left shoulder it was covered with blood. She
(witness) went for a doctor, and the deceased, by
his advice, was taken in a cab to the hospital. Mrs.
Walters did all she could for the deceased after the
occurrence took place.
By Mr. Edwin—Mr. and Mrs. Walters appeared
remarkably fond of each other, and she was in a
state of the greatest anxiety at his not returning
home all night. Mrs. Walters took up the knife
ou the instant the beer was thrown in her face.
She said over and over again, "I did not mean to
harm him ; why did you provoke me se." No
harm would hav® occurred if the beer had not been
thrown in her face. Deceased appeared to have
been drinking.
Other witnesses corroborated this statement.
The learned Coroner having summed up,
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter against Catherine Nolan,"

and
The Coroner made out his warrant for her coin-

mittal.

CONSCIENCE MONEY.--The sums remitted to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer by persons unknown, for con-
science sake, in the course of the financial
year 1861-62
amounted to £7,573. This annual item in the finance ac-
counts is chiefly maintained by the income-tax
helping to
" make the straight way yet straighter."
There is another
remarkable item in the accounts for the past year—the sum
of £333 13s. 4d. was repaid to the Committee of Council on
