THE SUSPEC2ED MURDER AT HACKNEY.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.

This morning the coroner, Mr. Humphries, re-
sumed the adjourned inquest at the Old Town-hall
into the circumstances connected with the death of
Mr. Benjamin Heasman, whose body was found in
the cupboard of an unoccupied house, No. 20,
Elgin-place, Hackney. It will be recollected that
two persons had identified the body of the deceased
as their relative, and that the last inquiry had been
adjourned in order to allow time for a minute
examination of the contents of the stomach of the
deceased.

Dr. henry Letheby said he had received a sealed
jar from the coroner's officer, but, being compelled
to leave town, he had given it to Mr. Tilly, joint
professor of chemistry at the London Hospital, with
directions to make examination of half of the con-
tents, and to reserve the other half until his return,
when they would make the examination together.
Mr. Tilley said he received a sealed jar from Dr.
Letheby and a 2oz. phial. The jit contained a
stomach unopened ; it was in a semi-decomposed
state, and on the examination of half of it he found
it to contain opium.
Coroner—There can be no mistake about that.
Witness—No, sir. The bottle had also contained
opium.

Dr. Letheby said the last witness in his presence
examined the other half of the stomach, and there
was unmistakable signs of opium. This disappears
in the living stomach, but it remains in the dead.

The Coroner said that the jury would now

settled.
lievidence of Dr. Gant had accounted
for the bruise over the eye, which was owing to
natural causes, arising from decomposition. They
would remember that although the deceased left
the lunatic asylum destitute of money, yet he could,
by of a portion of his clothes, get suffi-
cient the laudanum.
cendtThisetpojoury were of opinion that the body was that

sioned poison administered by his own hand
while in an unsound state of mind.
One of the jurors stated that after the conclusion
sio
of the proceedings on the last occasion Mrs. Banks
had expressed herself to him perfectly satisfied that
the body of the deceased was not that of her
husband.
