Station, London bridge, on the 24th ult. Mr. Pettigrew,
surgeon, said ho had made a postmortem examination of
the body, and ascertained the cause of death to be suffo-
cation. There were the marks of a cord, which had
been bound over the mouth and round the head so tightly
as to leave a deep furrow. All that was known respect-
ing the body was, that the carriage in which it was
found was near the engine, and had come all the wily
from Folkstone. Mr. Mead, the summoning officer, had
made inquiries along the line for a description of t.lhe
passengers in that carriage, but had learnt nothing sat *-

murder, that it was advisable to adjourn again in • the
hopes of finding the guilty parties. The inquest 1, MS
again adjourned for a fortnight.
