was found lying in the mud off Mr. Peachey's wll3l.
the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge. Informatiellt:fe
given to the police, and a shell having been prec
the remains were placed therein and removed 004
dead-house of the old Church, Lambeth. In the ;°
of the day several parties attended, and ultimately
oo°
body was identified as being that of an unfortg4iDl
female passing under the various aliases of Caruo,:e"
Bayley, Everall, &c., but whose real name is 000'6
to be Amelia Munro. The deceased had, for some
past, been living with a man named Lewis, in the ,

days since, and on Sunday last a lavender-coloured PiV
bonnet was found on the above bridge, which vv3Ba
