THE MURDER NEAR RYDE I
A. SLE OF WIGHT.-
Monday beforo Mr. F. Blake, the coroner for the Isle of Wight,
at Old-house Farm,
the scene of the murder, about a mile from Hyde, to inquire
into the cause of the death of Jane, the wife of Henry Lacy,
a farmer residing at that place. The proceedings were con-
tinued yesterday, when several witnesses were examined,
from whose evidence it appeared that Lacy had thrown his
wife downstairs, and that she died from the injuries she
received. Susan Wilder, the niece of the deceased, appears
to have been implicated in the occurrence, or, at all events,
she knew of it, and endeavoured to conceal the fact that
Lacy had thrown his wife downstairs, and represented that
she had fallen down. Lacy is a man of drunken habits,
and it is supposed that he was intoxicated when he com-
mitted the crime. The deceased had several bruises, and
marks of blood were found on her clothes and on the
bed where she had been lying. Thejury returned a verdict

of " Wilful Murder" against Lacy, who has been committed
to Winchester Gaol. The woman Wilder, who is of rather
repulsive appearance, has been examined before the magi-
strates of Ryde, and remanded on the charge of " having
on the 17th inst., well knowing that one Henry Lacy had
then and there feloniously killed and murdered one Jane
Lacy, feloniously relieved, comforted, and assisted the said
Henry La3y."

A meeting of the General Iron Screw Collier
Company was held yesterday, when the report was re-
ceived and a dividend declared at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum. A bonus of £1 per share was also ordered.
During the past half-year the ships of the company have
worked to advantage the disposable profits amounting to
£7,593.
