her right band labelled, " Sulphuric acid—poison."
The deceased was attired in a black satin gown. The
deceased's face was dreadfully burnt by the effects of
the acid which had fallen from the bottle. The de-
ceased wore a blue necktie, a silver brooch, gold ear-
rings, white stockings, black laced boots, &e. In
her basket were found a letter and a small note; the
former was the one which came by post on Thursday
afternoon, and the same bore no date or signature.
The principal portion of the letter was to the follow-
ing effect :—" For Heaven's sake I hope you will not
commit any rash act, or think of destroying yourself.
I trust you will be advised by the female friend to
whom I referred you, and who, I am sure, will give
you the best of advice. By the time you receive this
letter I shall have sailed from England for ever."
There were 4s. in silver and a pocket-handkerchief in
her basket.

A fter some further evidence of no importance the
inquiry was adjourned with the view of finding out
the deceased friends.
