A MURDERED CHILD FOUND IN A RAILWAY
CARRIAGE.—Last evening, Mr. Payne resumed the in-
quiry on the body of a child, unknown, found in a
second-class carriage at the South-Eastern Railway
Station, London bridge, on the 24th ult. Mr. Pettigrew,
surgeon, said he had made a post-mortem 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 way'
from Folkstone. Mr. Mead, the summoning officer, had
made inquiries along the line for a description of the
passengers in that carriage, but had learnt nothing satis-
factory. The Coroner said as it was a clear case of
murder, that it was advisable to adjourn again in the
hopes of finding the guilty parties. The inquest was
again adjourned for a fortnight.
