EFFECTS OF SUPERSTITION.—On Monday Mr.
Payne held an inquest at the Woolpack Inn, Nlinories, on
the body of Mary Wolley, aged 42. It appeared that de-
ceased was living in tho Circus, Minories, with her bus-
bind, who is a messenger in the Ordnance department
of the 'rower. A short time ago an Irishwoman resid-
ing in the ssme house lost some money, when, not being
able to discover the thief, she called upon a fortune-teller,
who told her that some prpon in the house had stolen
the money. She, in consequence, accused the deceased
of the robbery. The charge had such effect upon her
mind, that on Friday night she was found suspended by
a handkerchief to the bedpost. Ircrdict, " Temporary
