THE GIPSY MURDER.—An inquest was held at
the Waterloo Inn, Rants, on Monday evening by the coroner
for the county on the body of Eliza Colt Lee, the wife of
Edward Lee,
a gipsy of the well known Lee tribe. The
chief witness examined was John Wyatt, a boy eight years
old, who stated that he was a nephew of the deceased, and
was travelling with her and her husband Edward Lee in
their van. They had returned from Ascot Races and had
stopped at Waterloo on Friday night last, and loft again
next morning. On leaving the village the prisoner got up
into the cart, and seized his wife, who was sitting on a
chair near the door, and pressing her head over the half
i hatch of the door, cut her throat with a razor and then,
threw her out of the cart under the horse's heels, getting
out of the cart himself and sitting down by the roadside,
where he remained until taken into custody by the county
police almost immediately afterwards. Leo told the police-
man who took him into custody that he had cut his wife's
o
throat, and did it to die. It appeared, further, that •be 6!
had been jealous of his wife's conduct when at and

of the view taken by the coroner, the law officers of the
corporation were consulted upon the subject. These func-
tionaries, it appeared, concurred in the opinion of the
Attorney-General, and the court had consequently taken
the matter into consideration, and had fixed the salary of
the coroner at £7OO pet annum, that sum to include travel .
ling and all other expenses. The coroner, it appeared, was
dissatisfied with the amount awarded to him, and exercised
the power given by the act of parliament of appealing to the
Secretary of State, and Sir G. Grey, having consideredo which
all
