On Saturday afternoon an
commenced before Mr. Baker, coroner, and a
inquest was Lion, Cannon-street-road, St. George's-
jury, at the Golden
body of a female infant, supposed to have
in I e-East on the
-41 ' b - its mother, who has assumed the name of
CORONEB:S INQUEST.—
been murdered 3
•
Elizabeth Barker, and who cohabited with a man named
Bailey in Umberstone-street. The woman and her para-
mour, a W
oman named Cook, and Harriett Campbell, a mid-
wife, are in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of the child, and also with urlairly disposing of ano-
ther child, the offspring of Barker, which was born ou Palm
Sunday, 1849, and was buried in Sheen's burial•ground,
Whitechapel, by the woman Cook as a still-born babe, al-
though it lived two days. After a long and tedious discus-
sion, the jury expressed a very decided opinion as to the
propriety of calling Mrs. Campbell as a witness, and also
stated they wished to hear Dr. Godfrey and his boy,
O'Leary. The coroner then adjourned the case, and said he
would comply with the wishes of the jury, and request Sir
George Grey, the Home Secretary, that the prisoners might
be allowed to attend before him on Tuesday next to hear the
evidence against them, also for the purpose of examining
the midwife as a witness. The jury hoped that no obstacle
would be thrown in the way of the prisoners appearing at theest
coroner's court on Tuesday next, until which day
wig adjourned.

Cheap Railway Excursionists are now on the qui vive
for the coming simmer season. Amongst excursions already
projected is one to Paris and back, in which third-class pas-
sengers are tempted with a prospect of all the sights of the
grand metropolis of fashionable revolutions—in politesse as in
politics, in gentlemanly habiliments as in social frame-work,
—and besides all else, with a view of Waterloo and other
notables to boot, the whole to be seen at the certainly low
charge of thirty-seven shillings and sixpence—less than last
year's cheap excursion merely to our own northern metro-
polis. Another excursion from Birmingham to Exeter, at a
halfpenny a mile has been announced, and one from Bristol
