INQUEST UPON MARY ROWLEY, RESUMED.

Yesterday afternoon, the adjourned Inquest was held at the
Golden Lion, King-street, St. James's, before Tues. Areas,
Esq., Coroner, on thebody of Mary Rowley.
.Mr. Thomas Rose, of Park-place, St. James's, surgeon,
deposed, that on examining the body f the deceased, he found
the right thigh and leg considerably swollen, which he con-
sider+ed the result of erysipelous inflammation. 'There was not
the slightest appearance to warrant an opinion that the deceas-
ed had received any injury, which could directly cause thq
death of the deceased.

The Jury retired for nearly a quarter of an hour, and being
unable to come to a decision, returned, informing the Coroner
they wished further witnesses to be called.
The CORONA informed them, that Dr. Armstrong, of the
Fever Tnstitution, was present, and had viewed the body.
Doctor Armstrong said, before he gave evidence, he wished
to examine thibrain of the deceased, and retired for that
purpose.
Rebecca Deacon, of Angel-court, said she lived opposite the
house of the deceased. Last Friday week the windows of the.
two houses were open, and witness observed Mary Burns drag
the deceased into the second floor room by a handkerchief
which was round her neck. They were separated by the
husband of the deceased, and Burns went into the court. Site
there said, " If it had not been for her husband she should
have been the death of her, and she would yet."
Dr. Armstrong returned, and said it was his opinion that
the death of thc,deceased had been caused by fever. The state
of the brain was of itself quite sufficient to account for her
death. The thigh might have been predisposed to infiamma-,
inflammation. The unhealthy atmosphere which she breathed

think that the death of the deceased did not arise from local
might have produced her fever, as might several other causes.
Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, he could not
determine whether the fever was the immediate result of lo-
cal inflammation, or the effect of atmosphere, or general
causes.
The Jury once more retired, and in about twenty minutes
returned.
The Foreman then said, it was the opinion of the Jury. that
time deceased died of fever, produced by blows received from
Mary Burns.
Time Coroner suggested, that before the Jury returned so se-
rious a verdict they bad better hear further evidence.
Eleanor Griffin was employed by the parish to nurse the de-

Burns, and wished to be righted; she frequently asserted that
Burns was the cause of her death. At eleven o'clock on Sun-
day night, the deceased imputed the cause of her death to.
Burns ; and expired about half an hour afterwards. Deceased

and objected therefore they could not alter their verdict.
The Coroner suggested that the accused was entitled to
verdict.

A Juryman observed, that they had no evidence as to the be-
ginning of the quarrel, and pressed the Coroner to receive the
verdict; they had no evidence as to its being manslaughter or
murder.

Notwithstanding the objections the above verdict was re.
corded.
