neyman baker, whom, the husband knew, called
upon him, and told him that his wite had been

did not take a feniale,4riend With her to
,the theatre,
as she told hind, bad taken tuna, agreeably to
a promise, that the first order she got fora theati•e
she would take him .thither. The husband has.;
tened to the apothecary's, and found his wife in
a senseless state. It Was the opinion of the Me-
dical Gentlemen attending her that she had
either voluntariy taken something improper, or
that it had been administered to her by some other
person.... the account given_to Mi'. Mann, 9;`
way in which his. wife came there, was ve-ry-difre*-
rent from that stated by the journeyman baker ;
and was, that she had been brought .to the shop
from .a house of by three men, but that
she refused to tell where the house was, or who
the men were. There being no appearance of her
recovery, her husband took her home in a hack-
ney-coach. .I.7eAterkly morning the journeyman
baker called in Gray's-inn-lane, and inquired of
Mr. Mann how histwife did ? he replied, she was
happy, having died at three o'clock. The body

bruises appeared on various parts of it.
Mr. Mann ajtended yesterday morning at Bow..
street, and stated these mysterious circumstances

the fear of losing his place, in consequence of the
officers being sent after him, ,He was not detain-
ed, but was desired to attend before the Coroner's
Inquest, and tell every thing he knew relative to
the death of Mrs. Mann. ,
