SUPPOSED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT

WALTHAM HOLY CROSS.

On Wednesday an inquest was held at Waltham
Holy Cross, before C. C. Lewis, Esq., the coroner,
touching the death of a woman and a male child, at
present unknown, when the following evidence Was
adduced :

Samuel Willingale, of Loughton, labourer, said--
On Sunday morning, between 12 and 1, I was walk-
ing by the pond by the side of the new road, and
saw something in the water like a child. I was
coming away, and then saw the bag now produced
lying by the side of the water on the top of a piece
of furze bush. I saw a comb and brush sticking out
side the bag, and directly took the bag with its con-
tents to the police'station at Loughton, and gave It
to a police constable there. I then returned to t 1:
pond with the police, and showed them what I
took to be a child, and on taking it out it was found
to be a child, and dressed as it is now. It was about
two yards from the edge of the pond, and about
eight yards from where the parcel was on the furze
bush, I have no knowledge as-to whose child it
was, or how it came by its death.
Sergeant J. Brenchly said—On Sunday last, at
two in the afternoon, on arriving at the station a!
Loughton, I found that the bag now produced and
its contents (three pairs of white stockings, two
crochet nightcaps, one embroidered collar, one
pocket handkerchief, one napkin, two pieces 0f
flannel, one piece of soap, one tooth brush, one heir,
brush, one small-tooth comb, one large ditto, and
two reels of coloured cotton) had been left by the
last witness, and from information I received front
him I proceeded, in company with two constables,
to the spot spoken of by him. I was then sho%
by him what seemed to be a child lying by the side
of the bank of the pond; about 18 inches under the
water, I got it out, and it then appeared in the
same state as it now lies, and was conveyed to
where it now is. From what had been found I sus-
pected that the mother of the child might be in the
same pond, and on• Monday morning, having pro;
cured drags, I searched it, and found the decease('
woman in the water, about 10 yards from wherethe
child was lying.
William Parish, of Loughton, labourer, also
stated—On Thursday last I came from London hY
the train which left Fenchurch-street at far
o'clock ; in the carriage with me came the deceased
woman and another woman, who appeared to b
friend of hers ; the deceased woman had the child
in her arms ; just before we got •to Loughton the
women inquired of me the distance to Epping',
they said they were going there. I saw them get
out of the train, near the station door—that Ivas
the last I saw of them. On the way down I heard
the two women talking.. I heard the deceased
woman say she had been in an infirmary and h°,
just come out : she said the father of the 0111"
would not keep it.
The inquest was then adjourned till Monday
next at 11 o'clock, to enable the police to procure
some additional information on this mysteries
subject.
