(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
BENNETT V. LIVESEY.
This was an action. to recover the sum of 11/. ss. for
rent of a house in Ladbnry-road, Bayswater. There
was no defence, and a verdict was given for the amount
claimed.

EI:LUJAN V. NILES.
This was an action to recover the sum of 121. on a bill
of exchange, of which defendant was the drawer.
The defence ware, that defendant did not make the
said bill of exchange. The only point in the case was,
that on the second count on the account stated de-
fendant had suffered judgment to go by default, so that
the case came nefthre the Court as a writ of trial on
the first count, and an inquiry on the second.
The jury gave r. verdict for the plaintiff on both
counts.
The other cases lacard this morning were not of the
slightest interest.

THE MURDJER AT BERMONDSEY.
(THIS DAY.)
This morning a n inquiry was opened by Mr. W.
Carter, the coronet;.,, at the Coopers' Arms tavern, Ras-
sell•street, Bermor ,6L•ey, touching the death of a newly-
born male child, f mind in a field.
The jury havin been been sworn, proceeded to view the
body, which was ing in the Bermondsey workhouse.
Its appearance g a ,re unmistakeable evidence of great
violence having n used.
Upon the retu es) . of the jury, the first witness called
was

Henry William Seymour, a lad residing at No. 9,
Grove Southvale, ho stated that on Tuesday last, about
a quarter past tvve. lye o'clock, whilst playing under an
arch of the South-) ?Astern Railway, he came to a part
adjoining a gardeil, and whilst in the act of jumping on
a low wall he saw the naked body of a child lying on
the earth.
Edwin Lefont, dice-constable 159 M, said he was
called to the spit on the day in question, and took
charge of the body , which was quite fresh and in a state
of nudity. There were several scratches on the face,
and marks of vio'.ei ice about the neck. The deceased
was lying by the '.(3 of the boundary wall of the rail-
way, and was on the grounds of Zetr. Abraham Shep-
herd, a market-ga rc ;ever. Witness examined the arches
and places adjacm at , but could not find any article of
clothing. There hs a public footpath under the railway,
and any person p .sing by could easily throw the body
over the wall. T• s, o females were in custody on suspi-
cion of having plc& ed the body in the position it was
found. No clue of : a decided nature had been dis•
covered.

Mr. James Paul,, surgeon, had made a post mortem
t and
filled examination, t

being placed in w at er, and the other parts of the body
were fully devel or ,ed. Witness could not state the
actual course of d 3ath, but he believed the child was
born alive.
Sergeant Robe r is stated that he apprehended two
females shortly of 't 3r the discovery was made, and he
thought that it a L'hort time was allowed he should be
able to bring hoc le the case to some one. The females
had been medic ally examined, and they were both
healthy.
The CORONER o bserved that if there was a chance of
getting more dE •ei ded evidence they must adjourn the
quiry.
Sergeant Reber .s added that the females were residing
at Limehouse, sir d most probably the deceased was
brought from that district, where every means would be
used to discover tl le guilty parties.
The jury thong'. at an adjournment was absolutely ne-
cessary, and the 13 roceedings were postponed fora week.
