MYSTERIOUS DEATH of a LADY:
An investigation (which did not terminate Uliti
nearly one o'clock on Saturday morning) was op °ci
•
on Friday afternoon before Mr. Walley, the Coroner,
and a jury of householders of Mar.) lebone, at the
Buffalo's Head Tavern, New-road, as to the circunr
stances connected with the death of Mrs. Mel
Elizabeth Kelly, aged seventy, an independent lady()
large fortune, residing at No. 9, Nottingham-terrncet
Regen Ca- park.
Tne proceedings, from the rumours afloat on thl
subject, had excited great interest, it being alleged
that the deceased had died in a very mysterious Of
suspicious manner, leaving property to the value. ok

Corner (late of the Indian army), as the alleged'e°,l

who had a will in his pocket, stated to have been 0341
by the deceased, leaving the whole of the decean
lady's property to him. The registrar had refa""
to register the death, and hence the inquest. A.

The jury having viewed the body of the decease
which lay at her residence, ed,
Margaret Liddell, a servant, was first exam°
and stated that she found deceased in her bed infor
state of insensibility, in which condition she laid i„,
several hours, and then died. Captain Corner, ";,
ceased's son, was aware of her condition, but no
dical man was sent for. She could not in any .1
account for deceased's death. Believed she bad le"
great deal of property.
The CORONER, after hearing this evidence, ef,
suited with the jury, and resolved to adjourn the 'si
quiry till nine o'clock the same evening, for a :d
mortem examination of the body, which was entraLope
to Mr. Gilham, the head surgeon of the Marylee

Infirmary.
