AIURDEft AT STOCKPOR.T.

On Tuesday last a Coroner's Inquest was held
t the Boar's Bead, Heaton Norris, on the body of the untiar-
.unote female who WAS murdered et Stockport, on Saturday
night. The first evidence called was 31r. John Alandand, part-
ner in the house of Thos. Alarsland and Sons, who aduuttsd
having been with the girt from eleven to twelve o'clock oh Sa-
turday night—he then bid her good night, in the presence of
tha watchman, and separated from her ; he went direct home to
his father's house, and attempted to unlock the door, hat finding
a key left inside he awakened one of the servants ; it was at
that time a few minutes after twelve. The servant was examir.
al, who deposed es to the time of his coming in, anti heard him
subsequently go up stairs to bed. Others of the servants a ere
examined, who heard him come into the house.
A witness, passing by the spot when the body ads fl"lnd' at quarter peat twelve, deposed that lie saw a person rise up
front behind a heap of rubbish ; he did not know theater), and
was afraid he intended to rob hint; the person, however, took
no notice of him, and after he had passed he saw the same per-
son conceal himself behind the rubbish again; he took partrett-
he notice of the man, and could identify him. This witness
was taken to the New Bailey prison, and strewed into a mum,
in which were a number of people, Prom whom he instantly
selected one, who had been apprehended by the police on Sall.
day, and whose name is Iforstield.
Another witness deposed that he saw florslield in the mar..
ket-place with deceased, at a quarter past ten, previous to her
going to meet Mr. Afarsland, who was the lino witness..
Borafield's account of' himself was as follows t—fle and the
deceased lived in adjoining houses, about a mile from the
Market-place, Stockport—he saw her about five o'clock in the
evening, and agreed to see her in Stockport at eight or lane
o'clock—Ole was to call upon him at the King's flead—she
did not cal according to her promise—nearly ten o'clock he
met with a girl he knew, and walked with her through the
fields to Bower Ifouse-yard, in which she lived, and passed
his own house towards Lancashire-hill—he left her at half past
ten, went borne, and never left the house till called up in the
morning.
This account being contradicted by the previous' evidence,
the Jury brought in a verdict—" Wilful Murder against Wil.
liam florslield, ' and he was committed to Lancaster for trial.
The prisoner had been for some time endeavouring to gain
the affections of the girl; but whether she encouraged 'him dixis
not yet appear.
Popular feeling, in the first instance, directed its suspicion
against Mr. M. ; but his account of himself, and the satisfac-
tory corroboration by other evidence, removed every suspicion
of that nature from the public mind.
The. betty had been opened by the surgeons, and in addition
to the bruises about the head, and evident marks of strangukt-
Lion, five ribs were broken—with such determined fury had tb
murderer effected his purpose.
