DISCOVERY OF TWELVE DEAD BODIES.
Yesterday a most revolting discovery was made at
Kilburn by Mr. E. R. Judd, inspector of nuisances
for the parish of Willesden. He was inspecting
some stables in the occupation of Mr. John Austin,
undertaker, at Denmark-gardens, Kilburn, when
in a cupboard under the stairs he found two
coffins, and on examining the loft a third coffin.
In each of them was the body of a child in an ad-
vanced state of decomposition. Mr. Judd proceeded
from the stables to Chichester-terrace, where Mr. Austin
lives, and discovered eight other bodies in coffins or boxes,
and a ninth in a sort of earthen vessel. The undertaker
said that he knew he had done wrong, but that he was
compelled by poverty to do so. He had received money
for the purpose of burying the children. In the after-
noon Mr. Judd waited before Mr. D'Eyncourt, at the
Marylebone Police-court, to represent the facts of the
case, and to ask for an order to bury the bodies. Mr.
D'Eyncourt said a medical certificate must be brought to
him stating that the bodies were in such a state as to en-
danger the health of the inmates of the house. He would
then give an order for their burial and costs could be re-
covered against the undertaker. Hie did not see at pre-
sent how he could grant a warrant. Mr. Judd said that
Mr. Austin's house was not the proper place to keep dead
bodies. Besides, the undertaker had received money from
the friends of the deceased. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that
was another matter. If Mr. Judd would get a medical
certificate, he would give an order for the burial.

THE ALLEGED WIFE MURDER IN
CROYDON.

John Carpenter Carver, 35, described as a mattress-
maker, of 35, South.end, tiro don, was brought up yes-
terday at the police-court of that town, charged with felo-
niously murdering his wife, Mary Carver, on the preceding
night.
inspector Convey, of the W Division of Metropolitan
Police, read the following statement in writing made by the
prisoner:—` I, John Carpenter Carver, wish to make the
following statement: I came home to dinner at two o'clock
in the afternoon, and told my wife to go and ask Mrs. Mor-
gan, who lives next door, to give us some mustard and cress.
She said that Mrs. Morgan was upstairs, and J then
went and cut some myself, and gave it my wife to wash.
She brought it in, and put it on a dirty plate. I told
her about it, when she called me a brute, and said 1
had been to the Drovers. I was then in the act of
cutting a piece of bacon. My wife rushed at me and
knocked me against the wall. I had a knife and fork in
my hand at the time. I had previously broken three
plates, and I suppose that had made her savage. After
she rushed at nie she went and sat in a chair, and
in two or three minutes dropped into the fender. I
pickod her up, thinking she was in a fit, as she
had many times been before, when I saw blood running
from her. I went to Mrs. Morgan, and then sent
my servant for a doctor." Inspector Convey said he read
this statement to the prisoner, who signed it. Witness
found an ordinary dinner knife stained with blood, which
he produced. The clothes were saturated with blood.
Mr. George Miller said that on the preceding after-
noon he went on business to the prisoner's shop. There
was no one in the shop; but he heard a voice in the back
room say, "I'll smash your —brains out." He then looked
through the glass panels of the door, and saw the prisoner
fall down. He afterwards saw him raise his hand several
times, as if striking some one.
Mary Ann Morgan said she lived next door to the pri-
soner. On Thursday afternoon prisoner asked her to go
in, as his wife was dying. She went in, and on pulling
deceased's clothes open she saw the wound. She said to
him, "Oh, you wretch!" when he said it was an acci-
dent, and asked he to send for a doctor. Witness had
previously heard prisoner and his wife having some
words.

Several other witnesses gave similar testimony,
The Bench then adjourned the inquiry until Tuesday.
Prisoner asked for permission to see his wife for the last
time, when the chairman informed him that the police would
consider his request.
