Witness put down the words at the time on a hit of paper.

Owen denied that he knew the witness. lie would not swear that
he man he pointed out in this room on Monday was the man he saw in

the hall ; but he would swear that the man whom he saw in the kitchen
smoking a pipe was the man. There were about twenty persons in the
kitchen when he identified the man.

Inspector Field said there were not more than eight or nine persons
in the kitchen. Owen had told witness before, that the man was fair-
haired with dark whiskers.

The CortoNEtt--He has sworn that the man had dark hair and
whiskers.
Field added, that on going into the kitchen Owen took a glass of beer
from Hubbard as his brother.—(A laugh.)
Mrs. Edwin re-examined.—Had made a mistake on the former exa-
mination. Had said it was in the parlour she saw Hubbard—it was in
the kitchen. But she really forgot when she was last examined. Never
saw -Hubbard before. Before she gave her evidence she had not read
any thing about the murder in the newspapers. (This witness, who is
not more than 16 years of age, gave her evidence on this occasion with
great readiness and apparent consistency.)
---- Hubbard, brother of the man so much mixed up in the matter,
_ _

was examined, but there was nothing in his evidence of any importance.
The CORONER then went through a careful and luminous review of
the principal parts of the evidence. He particularly drew attention to the
fact, that Hubbard's statement at first had been borne out by the other wit-
nesses living in the house, and that he had himselfnever varied from it; the
only Circumstance that seemed suspicious as regarded him was the
removal of the chamber utensil from the bed room of the

deceased to the kitchin. That circumstance had had a great
effect upon his (the Coroner's) mind. But all suspicion on
that subject was removed by the statement of the police consta
ble, that the chamber utensil was in the bed.room of the deceased
when the alarm of the murder was given, and he was called in.
So that its removal afterwards could have no connection whatever
with the murder. The deceased having been found in her own
room, which she used for such purposes ; and the fact that only hergown
had been taken off, showed that the person who went home with her did
not mean to stay long. Mr. Carriar then pointed out to the jury certain
particulars which showed that the stranger was about to go away,

and had not given her any money, and that she attempted to detain
him by force; that there had been a struggle, in which the man struck
the deceased on the neck a blow which rendered her insensible; where-

upon (as it appeared to him) the monster cut her throat and inflicted the
other wounds, determined to leave no life in her. Those wounds would be
produced by such a weapon as the girl Edwin had described. The fact
that there was no blood upon the door could be accounted
for in three ways—first, that the monster wiped his hands
in the cloth which was in the room—or, secondly, that he put on his
gloves—or, thirdly, that he wrapped them in his cloak, which
he was proved to have had with him. Having taken one of
th.se precautions, it would appear that he let himself out, set.
ting down the candle on the mat. He (Mr. Carrtar) did not
attach much importance to the evidence of the girl Chaplin, as to
the quarrels of Hubbard and the deceased. It was likely that such should
happen, but it had been proved that they lived on good terms ; and the
excitement which Hubbard was now suffering did not appear to be that of
conscious guilt. After some other observations the Coroner left it to the
Jury to say whether they could charge the atrocious murder that had un-
doubtedly been committed upon any individual.
The Jury, after a long deliberation, came unanimously to the follow-
ing verdict :—" That having examined the evidence adduced before us
in this case, we are satisfied that no charge has been established against
any person or persons ; and under such circumstances we return a ver-
dict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."
The CORONER thanked the jury for their patient and laborious atten-
tion to the inquiry ; and the jury in reply expressed in strong terms
their thanks to the Coroner for the manner in which he had conducted
the investigation. They also eulogised the conduct of the police, especially
of the Superintendent Grinsell, Inspector Field, Sergeant Price, and the
constable, Anderson, all whose conduct they wished t 3 be particularly
noticed to the public.
