w e too Kine clotnes on tne may ; tnere were no mailts
of external violence like a wound ; there were some marks
occasioned no doubt by the birds having pecked it. From
the appearance of the edge of the skin on the neck I should
think it was done by a knife or some other sharp instru-
ment. The skin was divided at the lower part of the neck,
but it did not appear to have been done skilfully ; it was
jagged; the arms were taken off at the elbow joint appa-
rently in the same way ; the skin and the integuments were
divided at the shoulder.
Mr. Richardson, a surgeon practising at Brighton, who
had also examined the body, corroborated the evidence of
the last witness.
Here the medical gentlemen, at the request of the Jury,
went to open the body, with the view of ascertaining whe-
ther it was pregnant. They were absent about an hour.
In the mean time.
Mary Jeffery deposed—l am living with Mr. James
Mills, at Hove ; saw a woman go past my master's house
about eleven o'clock on Saturday, the 26th of November
(the day Anna Hobbs was missing). She had a dark
gown on, and a drab shawl. She was going towards
Shoreham. A foot-soldier was walking by her side,
but not arm in arm. It was a dark spotted gown.
She wore a white straw bonnet trimmed with red ; she
was a decent looking woman about my height ; about
five feet two. I took more notice of her than perhaps I
should have done, in consequence of seeing such a decent-
looking woman walking with a soldier. The soldier was
dressed in a red uniform, and wore a common upright
cap, with a tuft to it.
On the return of the medical gentlemen, Mr. Seabrook
stated that there was nothing to show the cause of death,
and they could not discover any signs of pregnancy. There
was no mark of violence on the body ; the ribs were not
fractured. It was their opinion that the body had not
been long in the water, and that it was impossible the head
and arms could have been separated from the body but by
violent means. The body ;was very fresh. We have
(said witness) come to the conclusion that the limbs were
amputated by a sharp instrument. I think it probable
that the head and arms were separated from the body
after death.
Mr. Richardson and Mr. Sutton, who assisted Mr. Sea-
brook in opening the body, merely corroborated the. evi-
dence of the last witness.
The examination of the witnesses lasted until seven
o'clock, when the inquest was adjourned till three o'clock
this day. There is little doubt that a verdict of Wilful
Murder will be returned.
