The Paddington Murder.

Last evening Dr. Lankester held an inquiry at
the Hall Arms publichouse, Edgeware-road, touch-
ing the death of Grace Ringwood, who died from
the effects of a stab inflicted on her by her husband,
George Ringwood, a paper-hanger, living at No.
15, Green-street, Paddington-green. The accused
was not present. When the jury had viewed the
body, which lay on a sofa at the Greyhound beer-
h°--ila-lawrc...a];p was murdere, _
Ann Tuseu, keeper of the Greyhound' beerhouse,
deposed—l knew deceased by sight for a year or
two. She has been in my house frequently since
Christmas. She has come in tipsy several times.
She came into my house between 8 and 9 on Tues-
day night. She was not then sober, and called -for
a pint of beer. Her husband came in about half au
hour afterwards. They seemed very happy together.
They sat down, and she sang a song. Myself and a
young man, a lodger, were present in the room.
The song was called the " Jolly Farmer." Her
husband helped in the last Terse, and then spoke to
my lodger about a contract he had been taking dur-
ing the day in Mortimer-street. The deceased sud-
denly jumped up, and said she would not allow hint
to talk about business in a publichouse. He said
he would tell the lodger, and she said she would
not allow it. She then took up a glass bottle and
threw it at him, but it struck the fireplace. Ho
said, " Grace, I will not allow it" and then she
called him a thief. He then ran to the table
and seized a knife (a common table knife). I ran
out of the room into the street, and knocked for Mr.
Stephens, who came back with me. I went to the
door of my room, and saw the husband holding the
deceased up in his arms. I know nothing more of it.
By a Juror—l do not know whether Ringwood
threw the knife at deceased, or stabbed her with it.
The knife had been on the table fro.n supper time.
Louis Marcki, a lodger at the Greyhound, 15,
Green-street, deposed—About a quarter to ten I
came home, and saw deceased and her husband iu
the parlour. They seemed to be very happy, and
were finishing a song. lie began to tell me about a
contract he had made that day, and she said she
would not allow him to speak of his business that
way in a public-house. She got into a rage, and
was going to strike him. She took a bottle from the
mantel-piece and threw it at him. It did not-hit
him. She called him a thief, and was, in the
act of striking him, when he said, "No more of this,"
Ido not know whether she struck him or not. lie
then rushed at her and took up the table knife, and
ran towards her with the knife in his hand, and struck
her a blow with it. No sooner was the blow struck
than I heard the blood gush out of the deceased like
water from a tap. I ran off for a constable. When

the influence of drink, but the deceased was. When
tipsy she was quarrelsome, and in the habit of using
very bad language. Ringwood held the knife back-
handed, like a dagger. The woman was about to
attack Ringwood when he used the knife. •

Mr. George Thos. Ifainniond, M.R.C.S., deposed
to the injuries received by deceased. When he mi-
tered the room the husband of deceased was holding
the wound, which w as just in front of the left ear.
Witness made no examination of the body.
The Coroner said it was incorrectly stated in the
papers that Surgeon Beale was called to see the wo-
man, but he (the coroner) proposed to ask Mr. Beale
to assist Mr. Hammond in making a post-mortem
examination of the body, so as to ascertain the exact
natare of the wounds. No further evidence would
be gone into at present, and the inquiry would be
adjourned to a future day, when the accused should
be present. Perhaps Inspector Steer would bring
him up.
Inspector Steer said he could not do so without
an order.

The Coroner said he should take care about that.
lie knew the police too well not to be prepared
with an order from the Home Secretary to bring up
the accused at the adjourned inquest. In the mean-
time he should make an order for the burial of the:
deceased after the post-mortem examination was
made.

The inquest was then formally adjourned.
The nine children of the unhappy couple
remain
inmates of the Marylebone workhouse.
