ThE MURDER IN PARLIALVENT-STREET.

CORONER'S INQUEST.-VERDICT OF WILFUL

MURDER.

[The following appeared in our late edition last even-
ing.]
Yesterdayafternoon Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for Wes'.
minster, and a highly respectable jury, commenced an
inquiry, at the Westminster Hospital, into the death of
Richard Cope, shopman to Mr. Berry, watchmaker,
of Parliament-street, whose death was occasioned
by injuries inflicted on him by a man named Marley, a
reputed ticket-of-leave man and a deserter. Marley, it
will be recollected, is in custody, and has undergone one
or two examinations.

The jury having been sworn, the Coroner briefly nar-
rated the circumstances under which they had been
summoned, and pointed out to them their duties, viz.,
to ascertain how, when, and by what means the de-
ceased came by his death, after which the jury proceeded
to view the body.

On the return of the jury,
John Allen, hackney carriage attendant, residing at
51, Tothill-street, brother-in-law of Richard Cope,
identified the body of the deceased, who was 36 years of
age, and a jeweller by trade. About half-past 9 o'clock
on the evening of the 20th October last witness was on
duty in Now Palace-yard, and heard a cry of "Stop
him," and saw a crowd •f persons running after a man
(Robert Marley). He ran after the man and stopped
him. He was running in the direction of Canning's
Statue from Paynter's Magpie and Horse-shoe-passage,
leading from Bridge-street to Palace-yard. When
he caught hold of Marley, he said, " Leave go ;
what have I done ?" Witness replied, "I don't know,
but I shan't let you go till Ido know." 'A man named
Lerigo came up almost immediately after, and said,
"For God's sake, don't let go of him, for he has nearly
murdered a man." Witness said, " Where's the man ?'
The man made no observation to it, but put a cigar he
had in his hand in his mouth. Witness called, " Where's
the murdered man ?" Lerigo said, " Come with me,
and I'll show you." Witness went with Marley and
Lerigo down Parliament-street to Berry's shop, The
shop was shut up, and he saw a man outside the shop,
supported by two men. He was bleeding.
Witness did not then know the bleeding
man was his brother-in-law. Witness said to Marley,
" I shall take you to the station." Marley asked to
be conveyed there in a cab; but witness objected, as
the police station was so near, and he ultimately
walked there. After Marley was at the station he
saw spattered marks of blood on his right hand.
Marley was afterwards searched and locked up. He
gave the name of Jenkins, but no residence.
. _

Mr. Alfred Marshall, house surgeon of the hospital,
deposed Deceased was brought to the hospital
between 9 and 16 o'clock on the evening of the
20th October, I first saw him in bed a few minutes
afterwards. His shirt was very much covered
with blood. He was suffering from a fracture of the
skull and depression of the side bone. He was sensible,
but could not speak. Some medicine was given to him,
and he was left quiet. An operation was performed on
the following day by elevating the depressed portion of
the bone ;it was performed by Mr. Holt. It gave de-
ceased relief, and the case went on favourably till the
Lt of November, when unfavourable symptoms showed
themselves, but passed off, and he went on
favourably till the 6th November, when a change
took place, and the symptoms became aggravated till he
died on Sunday last about two o'clock p.m. On 2811
Oct. a man was brought to the hospital, and taken to
deceased's,room. Deceased was then able to speak,
and he appeared to be perfectly calm. He identified the
prisoner as the man who struck him. Deceased was a
little worse after his confronting the prisoner, but within
24 hours he was in the sane state as before. He made
a post mortem examination of the head. Thera were two
fractures on the left side of the head. One piece of bone
had been driven in, and one eleva;ed, and could be
moved freely up and down. One piece was removed
during the progress of the case. There were fissures in
the skull branching from the fracture. There was a
second fracture, the skull being very slightly depressed.
There were two or three scalp wounds without fracture.
The injuries might have been inflicted by such an instru•
ment as that produced (a life preserver). The injury on
the Lad was not the direct cause of death, but the disease
arising from the fracture of the skull.
Mr. Holt, senior surgeon of the hospital, deposed—
When I saw deceased he was paralysed on one side of
the body produced by a depressed fracture of the left
side of the skull. I immediately performed the opera-
tion of trephining or elevating the bone, which gave
mmediate relief. Deceased gradually recovered the use
, of the right leg, the paralysi, of the face subsided, he
was enabled to put out his tongue, and subsequently to
speak. He also gradually recovered in a measure the
use of the right arm, He progressed favourably until
Friday (with one exception) when unfavourable symptoms
arose and continued until his death on Sunday. The
post mortem exarninatica was conducted under my
superintendence. An extensive scalp wound existed on
the left side of the head corresponding to the depressed
side of the skull, which was fissured in different direc-
tions radiating from the depression. Witness then pro-
ceeded to describe the other appearances of (lie head,
lungs, spleen, dm, and gave it as his opinion that the
cause of death resulted from the fracture of the skull.
The wound very much corresponded in shape with the
life-preserver that had been produced. I don't think the
deceased was injured by his examination by the magis-
trate. I it-as not present.

Ey the Coroner—That examination, I suppose, was
approved of by some medical man.
Mr. Holt—l believe it was. Witness continued—l
did not observe bruises about deceased's shoulders.

George Lerigo, of Chapton-street, Oxford-street, de-
posed--I was pr.ssing Mr. Berry's shop about a quarter
past 9 o'clock on the 20th October. I heard a slight
groan proceeding from the shop. Two or three men
were outside of the shop door looking in. I said,
" What's that ?" The men said, "Ws only a wan and
wife quarrelling." I went on about half-a-dozen yards
and returned to the shop, and pushed the door open. I
saw a man standing up in the shop striking a man be-
hind the counter, who was bent down almost on his
knees, with his hands up warding off the blows.
I called out to the passers by, "For God's
sake, come in, for there's a man being
murdered." Whilst I was appealing to the public the
assailant took a parcel from off the counter, and also
his lighted cigar, and pushed past me into the street.
I said to thr, crowd, "There he goes, won't none of you
secure him I" He went up Parliament-street and turned
round Derby-street to the left. I followed him.
When a little way up Cannon-street he turned round,
and seeing that I was pursuing him he commenced
running. He hai no parcel with him then. I don't
know what became of it, but he had it up to the time
he commenced running. I then called "Stop him," and a
number of persons followed him. He wont up Cannoa•row
across Bridge-street, through Paynter's-passage into Pa-
lace-yard. When I got there I found he had been
stopped by a waternian.
By the Coroner—The man was striking deceased with
a life-preserver. The strap was hanging down. The
life-preserver produced resembles that used by Marley.
The man left the shop with a life-preserver in his hand,
but it was not found on him when he was stopped. I
afterwards went back to deceased, who was covered.
with blood on. the left side. I have since ascer-
tained that the man who murdered Cope is called
Marley, I never saw him before the abDre
night. I don't kuow the men who were standing in
front of the shop at the time I heard a groan.
By the Jury—After I got into the shop the men who
were standing outside made off.
By the C ironer—Can you , say positively the blows
iniketed by the man struck deceased on the head.

1 Witness—Yes, I can. From the time I saw Marley
strike the blows till he was apprehended, I only lost
sight of him for a minute.
lc,Ainigr:B3;:aso.sis D,
iekling, grocer's assistant, Liverpool-street,

in Mr. Berry's
shop. The man afterwards left with a

Mr. Berry, watchmaker,
a!ter
posed—Deceased was in my
shop in Parliament-street on the night of
C
fish, and ult. I was in my shop at 8 o'clock that nit-ht. the
there. I left about 9 o'ckck, and returned sitor4pe was
with a fish basket containing a cod-
him to take it to my residence at Pimlico. I
placed it
near the door. When the shop was opened the follow-
ing morning the basket was missed. (Itsupposed is Proacd the
parcel Marley was seen to take away was the fish
basket). Cope was in the habit of taking away at night
with hire from the shop a basket in a blue bag cue.
taining valuable property. About two months since I
saw e, suspicious-looking ~.an lurking about my pre-
mises, has it was not Marley. Cope was a re&erved roan.

He was a married man, and had worked for me upwards
of ten years.
Insp( oi:or Bradstock, of theAdivi3ion, said—l received
the prisoner at the police station iu King-street on the
night of the 20th ult. He was charged by Lerigo with
having assaulted a man that night in Mr. Berry's shop.
I afterwards went to the shop, and found
a quantity of blood on the floor, the walls and coun-
ter of which were bespattered with blood. De•
ceased in the meantime had been conveyed to the
hospital. The backs of four fingers of the prisoner's
right hand were covered with blood—it had a fresh ap-
pearance. When I informed him with what he was
charged he made no reply. He gave the name of Joseph
Jenkins, but I have since learned it is Robert Marley.
He refused to gide any address. I have since ascertained
that in 1853 he was transported for seven years for a
burglary in Baldwin's-garden, Holborn, and had re-
turned on a ticket of leave. Previously to that he had
twalve months' imprisonment for stealing skins from a
warehouse in Saffron-hill. I was present at the hospital
with the prisoner when he was identified by Cope as the
man who assaulted him with a life preserver, pointing at
the same time with his left hand to his head.

By the Jury —Marley has not long returned from trans-
portation. He has since worked for Mr. Schafer, cab
proprietor, Stamford-street. I know of another case
against the prisoner, but I decline entering into the par.
ticulars.
After some further evidence,
_ _ _

The Coroner summed up, and the Jury returner a
verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Robert Marley, the
man at present in custody.

The jury at the same time expressed their approba
tion of the conduct of Allen and Lerigo, in apprehend-
ing the prisoner.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 12.

MANSION-HOUSE.—William, Pierce and James
Burgess, till recently guards in the service of the South
Eastern Railway Company, were brought before the
Lord Mayor, upon remand, in custody of Serjeant Smith
and Serjeant Thornton, dettctive officers attached to the
Scotland-yard division of the metropolitan police force,
charged with having stolen 15,0001. worth of bullion from
a package in its transit from London to Folkestone last
May t wekvemonths.

Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, said—
Your lordship is no doubt aware that these two prisoners
are charged by the South-Eastern Railway Company
with having, in the year 1855, been concerned in the
stealing of a large quantity of gold of the value of about
15,0001., which was being conveyed by that railway from
this country to France. Your lordship's predecessor
heard Mr. Rees, the solicitor to the company, state upon
his oath that he believed he should be in a condition—
and, indeed, knew that he should be in a position—to
produce material evidence bringing this charge home to
both prisoners ii they were remanded until to-day. Your
lordship's predecessor, upon that statement, was pleased
to remand them accordingly. Of course, those who bring
a charge against any of their fellow-subjects are bound
to use every possible diligence in bringing forward evi-
dence to support it—and there has been no lack of indus-
try on the part of those who prosecute this case since
the period when the remand took place—and it was ap-
pointed that we should go on to-day, commencing with
the examination of an accomplice in the crime, who
would depose to the whole of the circumstances, and them,
we should Lo on to produce witnesses for the purpose of
corroborating his statement. I regret to say that, with-
out any fault or want of diligence on our part, but en-
tirely through the necessity of going through certain
forms, in order to procure the attendance of that wit-
ness, who is a convict under sentence at the public works
at Portland, we are n. tin a position to produce him
to-day. He cannot arrive in London till late this after-
noon, but then we are certain that he will be here, and
therefore, at any hour that your lordship will appoint
this case to go on to-morrow, we shall be in a condition
to carry out our intention, by commencing this case with
his examination.

Mr. Wontner said he appeared for Pierce at his last
examination before the late Lcrd Mayor, who took upon
himself the responsibility of keeping the two prisoners in
custody without the slightest evidence having been a I-
duced against them. A felony had not even been shown
to have been committed within the jurisdiction of the
late Lord M ‘yor, nor had it been shown by the statement
of Mr. Rees that that gentleman had bad a communica-
tion from a man in custody implicating the prisoners in
a felony, and no other witness upon that occasion was
brought forward. He (Mr. Wontner) need hardly say
that which he was quite sure the Lord Mayor knew
perfectly wed—that it was necessary in courts of justice
that evidence—not hearsay evidence—should be given
connecting a man with the commission of a felony, before
a magistrate was warranted in detaining him in custody.
Here there was an utter absence of all such evidence ;
there was the simple statement of Mr. Rees that he had
seen a person who had been convicted of crime, and who
was suffering punishment, and, from the communication
which that person had made to him, Mr. R-es said, if'
the prisoners were remanded, he expected to be able to
bring home guilt to them. Under these circumstances,
he (Mr. Wontner4 trusted that the Lord Mayor would
not take upon himself the responsibility of acting cou•
trary to law by detaining the prisoners in custody with-
out further evidence.

Mr. Lewis submitted that Burgess ought to be fort',.,
with discharged. In order to detain a party "'was
necessary that evidence should be given of 4 felony
within the jurisdiction of the Court, and the party mu,t
be proved to have been implicated in it. The solicitor
of the prosecution merely stating that somebody had told
him something would not be evidence in any other
C curt, at al therefore it ought rot to be received there.
The Lord Mayor—The meet Important feature in this
case is, that there has not 'coca auy want of due dili.
genre on the part of the prosecutors. It is perfectly
clear that every exert;fon has been made by them to bring
the convict up in time for examination to-day, although
they have failed, I should not be doing justice to all
parties if I did not remand the case till to-morrow.
The prls:oners were remanded accordingly.

ESTAIINSTER.—STRANGE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLE-
MENT.— George Baxter was placed at the bar charged with
embrzzliug the sum of 121. 10a.

Thomas Jones, a tanner, living at 4, Cartaret-street,
Westminster, said that a short'time ago he employed
the prisoner to dress ten dozen goats' shins. He gave
him 51. 103. to purchase the skins with, and afterwards
saw the receipt for the money. Prosecutor then paid
the prisoner for dressing the skins ; and, about the time
they ought to have been ready, was obliged suddenly
to leave for Ireland, when the accused proposed that he
should sell the skins for him. Prosecutor consented,
providing he obtained 12/. 10a. for them, and told hini
to arrange the matter with his (prosecutor's) uncle, to
a hour he was to restore the skins if they did not fetch
the required price. On his return to London, on Tues-
day night, he could obtain no satisfactory account of
either the skins or money, and accordingly he gave the
accused into custody,
Mr. Arnold inquired how prosecutor could charge
the prisoner with embezzling 121. 10s. when he had no
evidence to show that he had ever received that amount.
Prosecutor replied because he had told him that he
was not to take less than 121. 10a , and therefore he had
no right to sell them. He told the prisoner not to sell
them at all, but to give them to his uncle, in order that
they might be sold elsewhere.
Mr. Arnold observed that his account was very incon-
. Blatant, for by his statement the prisoner was not to sell
and was to sell for 121. 10s.. There was no evidence to
show that the prisoner had received any money at all,
and it was therefore absurd to call it embezzlement.
Prisoner was neither his servant nor his clerk, and it
being a mere matter of debt between them, prosecutor
bad us right to have given the prisoner into custody.
The accused was accordingly discharged.

WORSHIP-STREET.—ANOTHER MURDEROUS AT.
TEMFT BY A FOREIGN SOLDIER. --Minetto Luigi, a tall
and powerful Italian, a soldier of the Foreign Legion,
was brought before Mr, Hammilt upon a charge of at-
tempting to stab William Siggins, a coal porter, residing
at Stepney. Mr. Abraham Meldola, a chemist, in
Lernan-street, Whitechapel, attended to interpret the
evidence to the prisoner.
Anothe,r Italian, named Carlo Coleco, is under remand
from tb:is court for attempting to stab several persons,
and F,everal other members of the Foreign Legion have
been charged here with similar attempts, and one of
',here, a Hungarian, with having actually stabbed a
police constable and another person, both of whom are
lying in the London Hospital in a dangerous condition.
The cmplainant in the present cage stated that on
Tuesday evening be was at the White Hart public-
house, Whitechapel, when the prisoner entered, and
asked, in English, for half•a-pint of beer, and bad been
there about two minutes when he dropped a sixpence
from his month. A man who was present picked up
the coin and handed it back to him, bat the prisoner
immediately took a formidable knife from his side pocket,
and drawing it out of its sheath, made an attempt
to stab the man, who, however, got out of his way. He
then attempted to stab the complainant himself, who,
however, seized hold of his wrist, and, alter a struggle,
succeeded in disarming him, and handed the weapon
to a police constable, who took charge of the prisoner
also.

Mr. Hammill remarked upon the frequent charges
against those men, all of whom seemed to be armed
with these formidable knives, and he said the a )oner
they were sent away the better. The pris'ohir Wa3 com-
mitted for trial.

LAMBETII.--,SEaro•os CHARGE AGAINST AN UNDER-
TAKER.-21/r. iVilliane I.)urekley, an undertaker, carrying
on business at No. 66, Tower-street, Westminster-road,
appeared before Mr. 1,!:11iott to answer two charges of
having felonithisly, I.nowin,4iy, and wilfully cauicd to be
inserted in a certain register of burials, kept according to
law, certain false entries relating to the burial of two
persons in the burial. ground belonging to the parish of
Lambeth.
In the first case gone into it appeared that,
19th of September last, a person tram.,l ba,dl4 in the
service of Mr. Dunkley, the defradamt, on the
called at the

Stockwell, aged nine years
and a half, and spathe 'uo.dertaker was Mr. Randall.
Esterby, of 4, ttage,-,
The deceased having he,en described as under 10 years of
age, the burial fees w dee only 9s. ; 13:0 the officers of the
hoard having discr,vered that the child was 11 years and
—Lha.t the nar
upwarde, in whir..n case the fees were 138, instead of 9s.
fraud:A the, 40 of Randall was merely a clop, for that
Mr. Dunkley
.iwas the undertaker, and that he had de-
'board out. of 4a., they caused the present
PPeeedin"gs to be taken. The more serious part of the
c4"trgi3 was this, that bydefendant's trick to put!
the d'zierence of fee in his pocket, the renistry of death
w"l4lse, as the deceased was described in it as being

only nine years and a half, when in reality he was 11
and upwai ds.
A witness named Groggs, at whose house the deceased
died, deposed th,it he had employed the defendant to
bury him at the new parish burial ground at Tooting ;
that at the time of doing so he told the defendant the
child was 11 years and upwards, and 11 years was in•
scribed by him on the coffin-plate as the age of the child.
The witness also produced the bill furnished to him by
Mr. Dunkley fur the burial of the deceased, and in it
appeared the item of 134. for burial fees.
Mr. Binns admitted that there had been some mistake
in the matter ; but who to attribute it to, was difficult
to say. He hoped, however, his worship did not think
the evidence of each a character as to induce him to com-
mit his client on a charge which would subject him to
transportation. _ _

Mi. Elliott remarked that there could be no doubt
that the proceeding was most improper, and of a dis-
honest character, and there was a sufficient ewe to pro,
ceed against the defendant for exacting a greater amount
for the burial fee than he had paid. He did not think,
however, that the evidence was sufficiently strong to
sustain the more serious charge, and therefore should
not commit on it.

Mr. Barker requested his worship to p )stpone his final
decision to a future day that he might have an opportu-
nity of calling together and consulting the members of
the board on the subject. The second ease he had to
urge against the defendant was somewhat stronger than
that already heard, and he should wish the whole matter
to be considered on a future day.
Mr. Elliott consented to an adjournment, and the
proceedings were put off for a week.
THE LATI BURGLARY AT BRIXTON.—W. H, Woot-
ton, Joseph Young, Charles Cullen, Charles Homer,
and Mary Ann Clark, who have been in custody for se-
veral days on a charge of being concerned in burglari-
ously breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. S wires, a
chemist, on Brixton-hill, and stealing from thence a cash.
box containing about 501. in cash, and various other
property, were finally examined.
Since the last examination the prisoner Young has
confes-ed to having been one of the parties to the rob-
bery. and said that Wootton had in the first instance
formal open a skylight and let him in, and be after that
undid the fastenings of the door and let him (Wootton) in.
The prisoners were all fully committed for trial.

THA MES, THE ANGLO-ETALIAN LEGION.—Josefo
Manosi, an Italian, aged 21, was brought up on remand
before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to stab Tbos.
Venables, a police-constable, No. 141 K.
Venables stated that about 1 o'clock on Tuesday
morning he was on duty in Baker-street, Stepney, and
heard the prisoner quarrelling with two prostitute?' one
of whom was struck by him. He remonstrated with him
and told him to go about his business. The noise con-
tinued, the prisoner again struck one of the females, and
he endeavoured to make the Italian understand as well
as he could that he was doing wrong and must go
away. The prisoner did leave the spot, walked a few
yards, and then returned to where he (witness) was
standing. As the prisoner came towards him he draw
a knife from a sheath, and made a back-handed blow
at him, which he with difficulty avoided by falling
back two yards. The prisoner advanced towards
him with the knife, and made a plunge forward
at his breast with his knife. He again avoided
the blow intended for him by stepping on one side. The
knife was within two or three inches of hies on each
occasion, and he should have been killed if he bad not
retreated and shown great activity. He drew his staff
and made a blow at the prisoner, who ran away with
the knife in his land. He chased the prisoner down
several streets and he got away.
John Wood, a police constable, No. 112 K, stated
that he met the prisoner about two o'clock. on Ttiesday
morning, and having heard of the outrage, and received
a description of the prisoner, he asked him if he had a
knife about him. The prisoner said he bad got no knife,
and at the same time put his right band into his trousers
pocket. Witness laid hold of the prisoner's band, and
found that he had grasped a large bowie knife in a
sheath. He seized it and prevented the prisoner using
it, and secured him. The prisoner was quite sober.
The prisoner made no defence.

Mr. Selie said this was too serious a case for him
to dispose of summarily. He saw by the Worship street
police sheet before him that another Italian, belonging
to the foreign legion, was charged with a similar offence.
Mr. Robertson said there were about 50 men belong-
ing to the British Italian Legion prowling about Step-
ney and Whitechapel, all armed with bowie knives or
stilettos.

Mr. Selfe--Not part of their equipment?
Mr. Robertson—No, sir ; but they draw these deadly
weapons on the slightest provocation, and sometimes
without any provocation at all. No one is sate. The
prisoner. helonga_tahlale...llritish Italian Legion.
Mr. Selfe—These cases have been so numerous, and
the practice has become so general forforeigners to attack
people with knives that I shall commit the prisoner for
trial. I shall not send him to the Clerkenwell Sessions,
but to the more solemn tribunal, the Old Central Crimi-
nal Cour. It was only by God's providence the police-
man was not killed.
