MURDER. AT BETHNAL-GREEN.

[FURTHER. PARTICULARS.]-011 Friday morn-
ing the body of a man was found by some brick-makers going
at a place called the Globe-fields, near
to work, in a clay-pit,
Green-street, Bethnal-green. The body was immediately re-
moved to the Weavers' Arms, ,
wnen it was found that there
were several wounds on the throat and face, which created
a suspicion that the man had been murdered. Several ar-
ticles, as well as 4s. 6d. in silver, and some halfpence, were
found in the pockets. In the course of the day the body was
recognized, and proved to be that of Richard Bacchus, a tailor,
who had been missing from his house, Lower Kate-street,
Spitalfields, since Thursday evening. At two o'clock on Satur-
day, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body before Mr. UN-
WIN", the Coroner for the district.—R. Robinson, the first wit-
ness, was the man who discovered the body, and immediately
called to his fellow-labourers. The deceased was laying about
nine feet from the brink of the pit, and witness thought,
from the soft n
clay, t was not possible for the
deceased
toavaet nature of
ir
walkedt h
to
e the i
spot where he was found.
The deceased's hat was found on the brink of the pit. An-
other labourer confirmed this witness's statement.—Jane
Neale saw the deceased on Thursday, at two o'clock, and
described him as a man of regular habits, and well behaved.
Ann Copeland was in the deceased's room after dinner on
Thursday, and saw him take a razor from a chest of drawers,
which he put into his pocket; she washes for his family;
has known the deceased three or four years, and observed
that he had lately become melancholy and dejected.—S.
Uffingliam, a fellow-workman, saw the deceased on Thursday:
had worked 11 years with bins, and observed that within the
last fortnight he had become unusually dull. Mr. Frederick
Ager, the surgeon of the parish, who examined the body, de-
scribed the wounds, and was of opinion that they did not cause
death, but that the deceased died of suffocation. The wounds
might have been given with a razor. He found a small
quantity of clay in the mouth of the deceased. It is probable
that if the man were a right-handed man, as he was described
to be, the cut in the threat would have been made in a dif-
ferent direction. The Coroner, in slimming up, said it was a
mysterious case, but he must leayuit.entirelytothedecision of th e
Jury.—The Jury returned a verdict of nri?ful Murder against
some person or persons unknown.—The wife of the deceased,
in an advanced stage of pregnancy, was in Waiting, but was
so overpowered by her feelings that the Coroner dispensed with
her evidence. The deceased was about 35 years of age, a weak
man, but temperate and sober.
