VIOLENT EXPLOSION OF GAS IN LAMBETH.—For
some days past the inhabitants of Upper Marsh, Lam-
beth, have been annoyed by a strong smell of gas per-
vading their houses. On representations to that effect
being made to the gas company, men were sent to prick
and open the ground through which the pipes passed,
and the holes thus made were filled up on Saturday, and
NO left till yesterday morning, when, as Mr. and Mrs.
Berry, who live at No. 50, were at breakfast, a violent
explosion took place, splitting a wooden chair in two,
breaking the windows, lifting the flooring, and severely
bruising the occupants of the room. On examination it
was found that the accident had arisen from the leakage
of the main pipes running through the stree.

THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE MURDER.

TAE ADJOURNED INQUEST.

The following appeared in a part of our impression of
yesterday :
Toe inquest was resumed this afternoon at the Board
Room of the Strand Union, Bow-street, before Mr.
Bedfor l, coroner for Westminster.
The first witness called was
Samuel Ball. He deposed—l re►ide at No. 10, Grove-
place, and am a general dealer. On Thursday night,
October 8, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock,
I passed over Waterloo-►bridge from the Strand side. I
paid Errington, the toll-collector, and bid him good
night. When I got to the first recess on the bridge I
polled out my pipe and went back to the toll-gate for a
light. There I saw Errington and a short female.
Errington said to the wo:nan "If you can't lift
the bag, why don't you ask some one to do it ?" I
then saw Errington lift over a carpet bag, but I did not
notice the colour, or whether it had leather sides.
The woman had also a parcel with her. I saw
her face distinctly. She was of sallow com-
plexion, with rather sunken eyes, and a mark
like A mole on the left side of the nose. Her hair was
like white, but it did not appear of a natural colour.
The woman passed me, but I soon overtook her and
passed her. I did not see the woman again. On the
side of the way at +ha and Of the bridge I sea•
a man sauntering along towards the Strand.
By the Jury—The woman had a brown paper parcel,
which she tarried underneath her arm.
By the Coroner—lt appeared like a brown paper par-
cel, but aw•not certain. I was not close enough to her
to speak pith certainty.
Mr. R. B. Painter recalled, said—Professor Taylor
has been associated with me in examining the remains
since the former examination. On the day after the
last sitting of the jury I made a further examination of
the remain.., the chief result of which was, that in ad-
dition to confirming my previous opinion, I discovered
a fact which set the question of deceased's sex at rest.
Mr. Painter having detailed the circumstances that led
to him forming that opinion, added that in order to pre-
serve the remains in an unaltered condition, I placed the
23 portions in an anti-septio solution, but before doing
so I separated a portion of muscle with some of the saline
particles I before spoke of, and placing them in a bottle
retained them carefully in'tny own immediate possession
till I handed the bottle and its contents to Dr. Taylor
for analysis. The Examinations I have made clearly prove
the remains to be those ofit male person.
Dr. Alfred Taylor sworn—l am a Fellow of the Col-
lege of Surgeons, and F.R.S. I have made an exa►ni
nation of the remains of the body shown me by Mr.
Painter, under an order of the Secretary of State. I
have made an analysis and gone into the whole cave, and
have drawn up my report on it. It is as follows :--
" I made an examination of these remains on three

separate occasions, viz., on the 16tb, 19th, and 21st Oct.
They were shown to me on each occasion by the divi-
sional surgeon, in the presence of Mr. Superintendent
Durkin. These remains are part of a human body, and,
making some allowance for the missing:portione, they
admit of an accurate adjustment to each other. 20 pieces
of the body were shown to me consisting chiefly of
bones with the flesh adhering to them. The flesh bad been
roughly cut from the bones, apparently with the view ot
removing as much of it as liossible, and the parts had
been cut and sawn into small lengths, probably to re-
duce their bulk, and to allow them to be packed within
a small space. The trunk, including part of the chest
and spine, hag been cut into eight pieces ; the upper
limbs have been cut or sawn into six, and the lower
limbs into nine pieces. The deficient portions are the
head, with the greater part of the spine, namely, 14 out
of 24 vertebrae (7 cervicle and 7 upper dorsal) the hands,
the feet, and some portions of the left side of the chest.
The whsle ot the viscera of the chest and abdomen are
also deficient. [A. drawing which accompanied the re-
port, showing the missing portions, was here put in.]
When compared with the average weight of the body,
the quantity found is small. The 23 pieces produced,
after soaking in brine for some days, weighed only 181 b.
Tnis is about one-eighth of the average vre4ht of the
adult body.
These remains have been examined especially with a
view to the solition of the following questions :
' 1. The sex, age, and-datum of the deceased.
2. The presence of any physiological or pathological
peculiarities, in reference to identity.
3. The presence of any marks of violence with refer-
ence to the probable cause of death.
4. The general condition of the remains, with a view
to determine whether they are parts of a dissected body,
and whether they had undergone any chemical process
for the purpose of preservation.
5. The length ot the period which has elapsed since
the death of the deceased.

I.—SEX AND STATURE OF DECEASED.
It is unnecessary to deal with a question sometimes
raised on these occasions, whether the remains or any
of them are those of an animal. Beyond all doubt they
are parts of a human body, and there are no duplicate
portions such as are commonly found when bodies have
been used for the lawful purposes of dissection. The
parts found belong to one and the same body. The sex
is also placed beyond all doubt. The length and mas-
siveness of the bones of the upper and lower limbs, the
marked characters of the ridges and processes, the
form of the pelvis, the dimensions of the part
called the inlet, the narrowness of the space
in the arch of the pubis, clearly indicate that the deceased
was of the male sex. This is confirmed by the remains
of a portion of the anatomical structure of the male still
adhering to the arch of the pubis on the right side. An
attempt has obviously been made to destroy all traces
of the sex, and this, so far as the soft parts are
concerned, has been effected on one side of the arch
of the pubis, but not on the other. These sexual
parts have not been dissected, but rudely mutilated,
and irregularly cut on the two aides after death.
The firmness, solidity, size, and weight of the bones,
the complete ossification of the ends of the long bones
and the thickness of the shafts of the thigh bones,
compared with the space occupied by the medullary cavi-
ties, are in a condition %filch show that the deceased had
reached a full adult age, which I would assign presump-
tively, judging from the appearance of the skeleton,
at from 30 to 40 years.
lI.—puTsr)LOGIOAL AND PATHOLOGICAL IDENTITY.
'lee buries presented in no part marks of malformation,
disease, united fractures, or mechanical injury, except-
ing that which had been produced after death by sawing.
Some of the joints were fixed with the sawn por-
tions of the bones in an unusual direction.
The head of the right thigh bone remaining on the hip
joint was placed or bent on the trunk at an angle of
45 deg.; the knee was also firmly placed on this side at
au angle with the thigh. The left arm (humerus) was
fixed in such a direction as to be widely separated from
the left side of the body instead of lying parallel
to it, and on this side the fore-arm was firmly bent on
the arm at the elbow-joint, at an angle of 45 deg. On
the right side, viewing the direction of the bones, as
fixed by th© portions left in the j lints, the fore-arm was
bent on the upper arm at an angle of 80 deg. Oa
examining the joints, it was found there was no
ossification or other disease to account for this firmly
fixed condition of the upper or lower limbs on the right
side, and the upper limb on the left side. So I infer
from this examination that the limbs had not been
relaxed since they had undergone the rigidity of
death, that the body bad been cut and sawn while in
this rigid state, and that the mode In which it was sub-
sequently treated, to which I shall presently refer,
tended to preserve the fixed condition of the joints as a
result of cadaveric rigidity in a constrained posture.
The small portions of skis remaining on the wrists and
on the right knee are rather thickly covered with hair.
M.—MARKS OF VIOLENCE.—THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
The cutting and sawing of these remains took place
after death. The cutting has been effected roughly
with a knife, while the sawing has been performed in the
shafts of the long bones with a fine saw. In one portion
of the left side of the chest, comprising the second,
tbird, and fourth ribs, with one-half of the chest-
bone attached, there is an aperture in the flesh
presenting the appearance of a stab. It is situ-
ated in front, between the third and fourth
ribs, near their junction with the chest-bone. It has
penetrated the cavity of the chest, and presents, as seen
from the inside, an opening of about 6 10ths of an inch
in its longest axis, which is obliquely placed, but in.
clined to a vertical direction. Assuming that this wound
had been inflicted during life, it would have penetrated
the heart, asd have produced rapid if not irnienediate
death. The muscles of the chest tbrough which this stab
had passed were for some space around of a dark red
colour, evidently produced by blood which had been
effused as a result of this wound. This appearance is
unlike that produced by a cut or stab in a cold dead body
in which circulation has ceased. The edges rat the wound

----
are everte I, and this fact, together with the infiltrationi
of the muscles with blood, which even the soaking n
liquid for a week had not removed, lead me to the con-
clusion that this wound was inflicted on the deceased
either during hfe or within a few minutes of death—i. e.,
while the body was warm and the blood was liquid.
There is no other mark of violence during life, or any
other appearance in the remains which prints to a cause
of death. The deceased may have actually died from a
fracture of the skull, and injury to the brain, or from a
stab in the abdomen affecting some large blo)dvessel.
As the organs of the chest and abdomen are not forth-
coming
any opinion on the cause of death nst be a
n!atter of speculation. The ribs and muscle of the
right aide of the chest (which are complete in 3 pieces),
when placed together and examined, present no marks
of
therefore staolung or fracture—any mortal wound on the chest,
fifth, and ,
eixth nlust have been on the left side. The first,
ribs, with their attached :muscles,
are wanting on this side. There may have been
