THE LATE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BA?CESIDE'
—An inquest was held on Thursday, at the George
Bankside, Southwark, before Mr. W. Carter, on the
bodies of Ann Brown, aged 28, and her illegitimate off
spring Cecilia, aged a year and a half, who were found
drowned in the river on Tuesday morning last. The
evidence was first taken as to the finding of the bodies.
They were discovered on Tuesday morning, at six o'clock,
lying in the mud, forming the bed of the river, at Bar-
clay and Perkins's Wharf, Bankside, the child being
firmly clasped in its mother's arms. Neither of them
bore the slightest marks of violence, and it was evident
that they Lad been left in the mud by the ebbing of the
tide. Elizabeth Freeman, of 10, Mint-street, Southwark,
was then examined : She said the deceased was her
sister, and resided at 20, Mint street, with a coal-porter
named John Carey, who passed as her husband. The
last time witness saw her alive was on Monday night
last. The deceased. had no coals nor food at home, and
with her three children had been sta3ing at witness's
house all day, until Carey returned from work. When
the deceased left her, she did not appear at all excited,
nor make any threat to destroy herself. Deceased and
her children were in great distress, often te:ng without
food for a whole day, and during the coldest night having
nothing for the covering of all but one sheet and a quilt.,
with which they lay on the bare boards. Witness be-
lieved the deceased had drowned herself and child in con-
sequence of dire distress. Mary Arnold, another sister
of thedeceased, said she l.ad heard her say, when speak-
ing of her privations, "The Thames shall be my doom,
and when I gamy child shall go with me." The only
reply witness made was, that she (the deceased) would
never have the courage, and thought no more about it.
After some further evidence, the jury returned a verdict,
" That the child Cecilia was wilfully murdered by its
mother, Ann Brown, and that Ann Brown destroyed her
own life while in an unsound state of mind."

FREE TRADE BANQUET.—MANCHESTER.--There is
every prospect of the coming banquet being one of the most
exciting meetings that lias yet been held in the famous Free
Trade-hall. Beyond a few advertisements no effort has been
made to make it known, and yet the whole of the tickets are
sold, and hundreds are (tail), applying for them in vain. The
interest increases daily, and there is little doubt that, had
the hall been able to accommodate double the number, it
would even then have been crowded to excess.
