INCOME TAX.—PETITIONS TO HER MAJESTY.
Mr. BROTHERTON moved that there be presented to
her Majesty an Address for a return of the number of petitions,
memorials, or addresses presented to her Majesty from public
meetings, town councils, conferences, or other bodies, for
the repeal of the Corn-laws, from the Ist day of January,
1841, to the present time ; specifying the places from which
they were sent, the number of signatures, and the prayer of
each petition.—Agreed to.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he was willing to give the Hon. Gen-
tleman all the information on the subject which his office would
enable him to furnish. The. e wa-, no record kept, however, of
the number of signatures attached to each memorial; but he
would make inquiries on the subject, with a view to give the
Hon. Gentleman every information in his power.
INCOME TAX—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
On the Order of the Day being read for resuming the ad-
journed debate on Lord John Russell's resolutions,
Mr. BilOT H ERTON rose and said, that he had moved the
'adjournment before Easter in order to give Hon. Members an
opportunity of consulting their constituents on the subject of
the income tax. The Noble Lord the Member for South Lan-
cashire had thought proper to denounce those who had been
guilty of the presumption of asking for more time
to consider that important subject, and as he (Mr.
Brotherton was one of those who had been guilty of
such presumption, he hoped the Noble Lord would allow
him to state in a very few words his view of the subject. la
the first place, he would frankly own to the Right Honourable
Baronet arid to the House, that when he voted in the minority
for the adjournment till after Easter, that he was fully im
pressed with the opinion that the country was against the
measure. lie would, however, frankly acknowledge that he
did not think that there was that opoosition to the measure of
the Right Hon. Baronet in Manchester ashe (Mr. Brotherton)
had anticipated.—(Ministerial cheers.) lie certainly did
anticipate a different feeling to that which he met with. He re-
collected being at a large meeting in 1816, at which there was
a most unanimous feclieg against the tax, and he could not
account fur the present change ; perhaps it was because the
present generation had not felt the effects of the tax, and he
believed they would not be convinced until they felt the
hands of the Government in their pockets. Another reason
might be that they sacrificed their own and their neigh-
beurs' interest to party. The Noble Lord (Lord F. Egerton)
had stated that he had a petition, signed by 24,000 persons.
He (Mr. Brotherton) was needy to admit that a great number
of the names to that petition were of great respectabilit:, but
that petite:sr hail emanated from no public meeting. There
had been a meeting of the Town Council, and they were una-
nimous in a resolution against .the tax. Another reason, per-
haps was, that the persons could not distinguish between a
property and an income tax.— ( Hear, hear, from Sir 11. Feel. )
But' there wan, however, a divided feeling on the subject.
Another reason for the want of opposition to the tax was, per-
, haps, one which had been expressed by a friend of his, who said
that the Right Hon Baronet would allow them to compound
for the three years, and if they did so, according to their proits
of the last three years, they would get a good bargain,
for they had gained itotling —(Laugh'er. ) Ihe Noble
Lord had stated that a great numbs of clergymen
had sign; d his petition. He confessed fro.n what he (Mr.
Brotherton) knew of the Manchester clergymen, this cireurne
stance had little weight with him. They were almost to a man
for supporting the French wa-. They justified the proceedings
at Peter:oo, and when the case of Queen Caroline was before
the eeuntry, there was scarcely a clergyman that was, not op
posed to her. They were always opposed to the Corn.laws too,
and never supported any measure calculated to relieve the poor.
With reeve' to himself, he had but one opinion on the subject,
and that was, he believed the tax to be unnecessary, and be-
lieving it to be unnecessary, he should not vote for it. He
conceived that if monopolising had been re moved, the tax would
have been uncalled for ; therefore it was monopoly that ren-
dered the tax necessary. He wished to have seen th expen-
diture reduced, but such was not proposed. With regard to
the war in India, he thought that it was unjust at the com-
mencement, and that it was unjust to carry it on. He did not
partake of the feeling that the glory of the country consisted
in her triumphs in war ; hr considered her glory should be
in t' e arts or peace. He thought no one could doubt the in-
justice of a men of real property being taxed in the same
arnaunt as the man whose only income was produced by his
industry. His (Mr. Brothertnn's) plan would be to tax all
real property, not as a tenant tax in the poor rate.
but as a landlord's tax ; and he would tax the funds
and mortgages. He would exempt the farmer and the
tradesman and the professional man. They might say it would
be unjust so leave a tradesman untaxed, but the House mutt
recollect that the tradesman and manufacturer paid 1,200,000 e
of taxes on the raw ma erial. In his plan he included all mils
and manufactures as real property. lie did not wish to pro-
pose, or volunteer a budget for the Right Honourable Baronet,
but he mu t say that there was a broad distinction between a
property and an income tax. He considered the proposed tax
would engender grear odium from its inquisitorial and vexatious
process. anti he had no doubt there would be on an unani-
mous voice in favour of its repeal; but if the income tax were
repealed he should be disposed o support a tax on real properly.
Colonel 'A GOD said that the lion. Metiaber who had just
sat down had very good hurnouredly told them that the inha-
bitants of Manchester were not unfays.urable to this tax. He

(Col. Wood) hoped he shou!d be able to show that the whole

kingdom was 'of the same opinion. He would just
lay a calculation before the House. which he had made respect •
ing this tax. He found that the number of occupiers of land
whose incomes were under 501. a year, and who (lid not con-
tribute to the tax when la,t imposed in 1815, amounted to
1,114,778. The occupiers of land from 50/. to 1501. a year,
which the Right Hon. Baronet proposed to exempt, amounted
to no less than 432,534, making a total of no less than 547,312
persons to be exempted from the tax. The numbtr of occu-
piers of land that would be called upon to contribute to the
tfx was only 42 :..62 He found that in trades and professions
there were 100,000 underso/, a year, and 117,306 whose in-
comes were from 501. to 1501., .making a total of 218,000 to be
exempt from the operation of the tax. The total number
of persons who contributed to the tax in 1815 was 77,682.
That was in a population of 12,000,000 of persons. The pa-
pslation was now increased to 18,500,000, bring an increa'e
' of one-third ; was it then a fair calculation to add a third to
each 7—( Hear, hear.) The number of persons, occupiers of
land, of trades and professiong, who contriouted to the tax in
1815, and whose incomes were above 150/. a year, was 77,632,
to this he added a third, which would make 103,578 souls who
then contributed to this tax ; there then remained to be added
the owners ofland and others, and he made out the whole num-
ber of contributors to be 200,000 souls. Was it possible that
out of a population of 18,500,000, the number that contri-
buted to this tax did not exceed 200,100 souls? He believed
that was the fact; and it would not appear strange, when
they considered that there wire about .3,444,000 inhabited
houses, and the presumption was that there would be about
3,500,000 families, of whom 2,500,000 were without income; and
he firmly believed that this was a correct calculation, and
that th- number of persons called on to contribute to this
tax would not -exceed 200,000 souls ; and what a difference
would that exhibit between direct and indirect taxation? That
return convinced him that an income tax was by far the most
honest and most beneficial tax which could be proposed for
the benefit of the people ; he thought it placed the tax on the
shoulders of those who could bear it—these who had property
whilst it shifted it from the shoulders of die poor, who were
unable to bear their share in the taxation of the country. The
Noble Lord objected to this tax, bscause he said it was a war
tax, and should not be resorted to in times of peace. Could it
be said that we were now at peace? He thought not. It was
impossible to tell what might yet be the result of the war in
India. We could nut consider this great country at peace. But
whether at peace or at war, if the tax were a good one, it
was one which, in his opinion, ought to be imposed.—( Hear. )
Gentlemen on the other site had tatioted them with the part
they had taken on the Corn-laws, accusing them of havi gin that
Hou e acted in a manlier incowistent with the speeches which
they had made on the hustings. He must express his astonishmeat
at such taunts, because he thought thst they had acted quite con-
sistently; he told his constiaients that he would ne,.r vote
for a tax u, on co n f pur;,osos of revenm..—( Hear, and
laughter.) Gentlemen laughed, but he told them that, and
he argued then, as Le did now, that the duty upon corn was
not for purposes of revenue, but for the sake of protec:ion ;
the fixed duty of Bs., as propss.d by the Noble Lord, he
thought would aggravate the evils under which the country at
present laboured, and he should therefore give a decided nega-
tive to the Noble Lord's proposition, and in cluing so he consi-
dered that he should be doing his duty to his constituents.
Mr. MANGLES said that he had listened with great at-
tention to the remarks which had fsllen from Gentlemen on the
other side, but he had listened without conviction, and perhaps
he might be allowed to express his opinion on the subject.—
( Hear, hesr. ) Every one must deeply regret the disasters
which had lately occurred in Affghanistan, but still they were
not called on to believe them to be the greatest disasters which
had ever happened to this country; they, no chubt, all felt
deeply the distaste's which had occurred there to our brave
countrymen, aid fair countrywomen, but that was no reason
for the imposition of an income tax.—( Hear, hear.) He ad-
mitted that the d:saster which had occurred in A ffghanistanwas
great and grievous, but it did not appear to him that the Right
Hon. Hon. Baronet had been borne out i3O the remarks wlyea he
had made relvive to the disaster. The Right Hon. Baronet
said the other night that the disasters which had occurred in
Afghanistan had not been equalled in British history—(Hear,

were not so great as were those which happened. in the time of

droved the Adjournment of the DeLate.
On the question being put,
Sir R. PEEL said he could not help expressing his opinion
that the House was in a condition to pronounce an opinion on
this question. There had been four nights' debate on the re-
s4iution, and three nights on the repers, and he.hoped the sub-
ject had now been sufficiebtly debated to enable the House to
come to a fair division to-morrow, and that leave would :be
given to bring in the Bill. He h. red, as they should have to
tiii•cuss the tariff as well as the income tax, and the revision
of taxation on the raw materials and dements of manufactures,
that the House would feel that he was justified in not
making any proposal of the tariff tll some decision
was come to on the income tax. • Ile hoped that
the gentlemen who had give n notices of motions for to- morrow
evetnna would, from a sense of public neces.ity, hermit the
renewal of the debate at an early hour, so that the House
might come to the conclusion of the debate to morrow.
Mr. ISIASTERMAN regretted that the debate had been

stagnation in all branches of commerce. It Hon. Gentlemen

sat to a little later hour. It was roost detrimental to the com-
mercial interest that the House should separate without a
division.

Sir W. JAMES coincidedwi,h the opinion expressed by the
Hon. Number for' the City of London.

Lord JOHN RUSSEL-L. said be had wished that the debate
should have been closed that evening. He was not aware of
what was intended to be dote by the Gentlemen who had
given notice of resolutions, but with respect to his resolution
he had no doubt that the debate would close to-morrow. He
thought too that those Gentlemen who had Bills for considers.
tion would not object to the debate taking place at an early
part of the evening.
Mr. MARK PHILLIPS thought that the House ought to
be afforded ample time to consider the income tax, inasmuch
as it had been a question that had only. been recently proposed
to the House, and that the Right Hon. Baronet had taken five
months to consider the propriety of proposing ir.
Sir R. PEEL did not object to the House taking ample time
to discuss the question of the income tax, but he thought
that they ought to devote mote than two hours and
a half to it of a nignt. He (Sir Robert Peel) had
moved the Order of the Day at eight o;clock, at which
time there were not more than forty-eight Members present.
He would do Hon. Members opposite the justice to admit that
there were quite as many present of their party as of his own,
but stillthe debate did not commence until two hours after the
Order of the Day had been read.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that if Right Hon. Gentle•
men opposite would speak earlier in the evening, that
would have a great effect in bringing the debate to a close.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had acted
on the principle propounded by the Noble Lord, inasmuch as
he had spoken immediately titer the Noble Lord had sat
down in the early part of the evening.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at One o'clock.

ADJOURNED INQUEST AT ROE-
HAMPTON.

The inquest en the supposed victim of Good was resumed
yesterday before Mr. Carter, the Coroner, at the Angel Inn,
Roehampton. The room was again crowded, and the greatest
excitement prevailed. The first witness called was
Sergeant Palmer, who stated—My name is Samuel Palmer;
I am a police-constable, 6 V. On the night of Wednesday, the
6th inst., I was told, a little before 11 o'clock, by constable 192
V, that a murder had been committed. Ia consequence of the
information I received I went to Air. Shiel's premises in Putney
Park-lane. When I got there I found Alr. Houghton, his son,
and a ycung man named Speed. They showed me the trunk
of a female in one of the stalls of the stable—the fourth stall.
Mr. Bicknell came immediately afterwards, and we proceeded
to search the stable for the remaining parts of the body, seeing
that it had been mutilated. The first place searched was the
adjoining stall, in which I discovered a mattress and two blankets
concealed under some straw. The mattress was very much
stained, but apparently not with blood ; I think it must
have been with urine. It appeared quite dry. I felt it to as-
certain. It was one i ntire stala right through, both sides being
alike. Thought it had not been recently done. The next
place I went t,► was the harness-room. From the stench I
discovered there, 1 went towards the fire place, and found sore-
sal small portions of bone among the cinders. There was
nothing in the Ere-place but the cinders and portions of bone.
I now recollect that the fire was laid. There were two pieces
of wood, some coals, and some straw, ready to be lighted. The
ashes were under these materials. I searched the cinders, and
found several small pieces of bone in a calcined state. (They
were here produced.) They have been broken in pieces since.
They appeared to have been in a fire. I took them to the
doctor's.

CORONER—Was the stench very great?
Witness—lt was quite enough to make me suspect that the
missing portions of the body had been burnt. I then went up
to Mr. Shiel's house, ar,d searched the coachman's room there.
The room was pointed out to me. There wete two cupboards
in the roora, which 1 could not open at that time, and I did
not find anything which concerned the present inquiry. I told
the gentleman I would come next morning, and if I could not
find the key 1 would break the doors open. Uponrcturning to the
harness-room I saw some keys lying on a table, and thinking they
most likely belonged to the coachman, and that one would fit the
cupboard I took them, and proceeded to the house in company
with Mr. Inspector Busain. None of the keys would fit, and
we broke the cupboards open. They did not contain anything
relating to this question. There were some coa's and waist-
coats, which I examined carefully, but there were no marks or
stains upon them. I remained in the stable, and the keys
either fell out of my pocket, or I laid them on the corn
bin. Some of them were tied together by the cord or watch-
guard (by which they all tied now), and some of them were
loose on the table; but all lay together. The keys have not been
owned to my knowledge.
By a Juror—When you found those keys did you examine
them to ascertain whether there were any mai ks of blood upon
them ? Palmer—No, Sir, I did not.
Did you see any marks upon them ?—No I did not.
Are you sure some of them were loose?—To the best of my
belief.

Robert Tee, constable of the parish of Putney, was called.—
From information, 1 received 1 went to the premises ot Air.
Shiel, in Putney...park-lane. I saw the remains of a body, and
since the inquiry on Fr.day, I have been in p;s:,session ot those
remains, and I have had the key of the sable in my pos.
session. I produce the bunch of keys (alluded to by the
last witness). 1 found them on the corn bin on Friday
evening last. They were as you see them now—all
together. John Houghton and the little boy went in
with me when I found them. I made a very diligent
search of the premises. I have examined the cesspool,
the water-tanks, and the manure heaps in the stable-yard.
I have not found anything pertaining to this inquiry. I have
not fourd any portion ot the body, nor anything in any way
relating to this inquiry.
ColtON ER —You searched the dung-Leaps, in accordance
with my directions, did you not? Witness—l did, Sir.
CORONER—What were you going to say about Houghton
and the keys ? Witness—lt was Houghton that directed my
attention to them.

Sergeant Palmer recalled—The keys produced are the same
thick I took Lora the harness-room, with which to try the cup-
board doors in the coachman's room.

By the Jury—l had the keys from Thurdly morninz until
Friday morning. lam sure the key, produced are the same
which I found in the harnfss•room.

Robert Tee recalled—Houghton might have seen the keys
by looking through the windoA of the stable opposite that in
which the remains lay.

Josiah Tye, police constable 199 V.—On Wednesday even-
ing I was on reserve in the station-house, when a person came
and said that a body was lying at Mr. Shi,i's, in Putney Park-
lane. I went there, and on arriving I found Constable Gardi-
ner there, and the remains of the body of a woman lying in one
of the stalls of the stable, on Mr. Shiel's premises. 1 took Mr.
Shiel's pony and rode off to give information to Mr. Superin-
tendent Bicknell. When I got to Wandsworth I found that
%ir. Bicknell had gone, and I returned to Mr. Shiel's. 1 found
that in the hari.ess-room there was a disagreeable smell, and
on examining the grate I discovered two pieces of skull-
bone underneath the cinders. (The pieces of bone were } re-
duced.) I did not know that they were skull-bones at first,
but on finding them I took them to a medical gentleman, who
said they were pieces of skull-bone. '1 his morning I was in
Mr. Shiel's yard at about half-past eight, and went toward
the four-wheeled chaise in the coach-hone , and upon opening
the lid of the seat-box I discovered that there was a very strong
stench. It came to my nose-like a steam. On further exami-
nation, I observed a small piece of flesh on the edge of the out-
side of the lid : from this eireumstan.e I suppose that the en-
trails of the body have been taken away in this box.
[The box smelt so strongly as to be quite offensive to the
jurors when it was placed near them.]
'fhe witness resumed—l said the other day to Houghton,
" This is a shocking thing." Houghton said, " Yes, it is ;
knew Good to be a very bad man, but I did not think he was
quite so bad as that either." I replied, if you knew that he
was a bad man, why did you keep his company ?" He
answered, " I has reasons fur doing it." " What were they ?"
I again asked ; Houghton shrugged up his shoulders, and said,
" It I had not kept in with him, he would have murdered me."
The conclusion I draw from this conversation is, that he had
some knowledge of the body being there.
Mr. Inspector Busain next called—From information I re-
ceived I went to Mr. Shiel's about a quarter be:ore I I o'clock
on Wednesday night, and was directed t, make a diligent
search. I saw the body ; I found a box in the harness-room,
which was locked, and I broke it open,; in it I found a small
quantity of blac t tea—rathe. more than an ounce—wmpped up
in paper. There was no mark of blood on the paper: The
other things in the box "were same articles of wearing
apparel and a few books. The wearing apparel • con-
sisted of some linen and a waistcoat, which were all
clear.. I then searched a drawer in the table underneath
the window of the harness-room, and in that I found a knife,
w`iich I now produce. It is a clas or " self-defence" knife.
It appeared to have been recently sharpened, and on the handle
are marks of what 1 believe to be blood. Standing in the
chimney corner, on the right-hand side of the fire place, I
found this axe, the edge of which, aid also the poll, are
smeared with blood.

The knife and the axe were handed round to the Jury.
The knife, when opened was about nine inches long ; and the
axe was a full-sized one. The marks alleged by the Inspector
to be those of blood were very indistinct.
CORONER—Can you undertake to say that these marks on
the axe are the marks of blood? Witness—l believe them to be
marks of blood. Over a line which was hanging across the
harness-room, I found the handkerchief which I now produce.
On showing it to the woman in South-street, Manchester-
square, she identified it as having belonged to the woman Jane
Jones. There are marks of blood upon it. Over a saddle-bag
I found two pieces of a woman's flannel petticoat, which bad
evidently formed part of the same garment, and had been torn
asunder with violence. I also found two pieces apparently of an-
othergarment, both are spattered with blood. (1 hey appeared to
be portions of a calico chemise.) On one portion are two holes,
which had evidently been cut with a sharp instrument. In the fire-
place I found some calcined bones, which have been shown to a
medical gentleman. I showed them to Mr. Shitlito and also
to Mr Ridge. I found the pint glass bottle, which I produce.
It appeared to have contained milk. Assisted by Mr. Ridge, I
found on the following day other portions of bone in the fire-
place. The keys were also found in the table-dr.wer. I ex-
amined the body after it had been washed—since the Jury saw
it. It was brought out into a stronger light to be examined. I
pressed up the skin of the neck near 1N here the incision had
been made, and in doing so I discovered, on the right side, a
small mole not much larger than a pin's head.
By the CORONER—I have ordered a search to be made
over the premises, but no portion of the bode has been dis-
covered; except the pieces of bone which have been produced.
Mrs. Jane Brown was next calied—l am a married woman.
living at It 3, South-street, Manchester-square, in the parish of
Marylebone. My husband, John Brown, is a greengrocer. I
knew a person named Good. I have heard him Called Daniel
Good. I knew him to be in service as colt. hman. I did
not know the name of the gentleman until lately, but
believed he lived in this neighbourhood. I knew Good
as the husband of the female who took the lodging at
my house. I was told that he was her husband. He used to
come and see her, and she has passed as his wife latterly. She
took the lodging in the name of Jane Jones, and passed by
that name until she represented that she was marl ied. She
was in the lodgings six months or more before she told me
that she was married to Good. He frequently came to
see her; three or four times a week. He drove up to
the house, but did not remain longer than a few
minutes at a time. He latterly came in a phaeton.
I have no knowledge of the female at the present

time. A little boy resided with her—his name was Daniel,
she passed the boy for 'her son-in-law ; and I understood from
Good himself, that the lad was his son. I last saw the female
on s'umay, 3d April ; I heard her lock her door, come down,
and go out at the private door. I. saw her walk past the front
or the house. I had aside view of her. She was in my sigl.t
for about three minutes. I had an opportunity during that
time of noticing her dress. She wore a blue silk bonnet, a
da,k print gown, a dark shawl (the pattern a black ground
with flowers), and black boots. This was between the hours
of two and three o'clock in the afternoon. She was then about
leaving the house.
CORONER—Have you any knowledge of the purpose fur
which she was leaving the home at that time? Witness—God
knows, Sir ! I did not speak to her.
CORONER—Was any one with her at the time?—No one.

Had you seen Good on that day ?—No.
Have you any reason to suppose that she has returned to your
lodgings from that time to the present ?—I have not.
And whether she may be dead or alive you don't know ?--1
do not. The little boy left the house before his Mother, as I
thought, to go to school. Ile returned the fellow ing day, ac-
companied by his father, Daniel Good. I don't know how it
was that he did not come home on Sunday night. I don't
know that the little boy was in the habit of visiting his father
without the female. He was not in the habit of sleeping from
home, at least to my knowledge, but he slept out the previous
Sunday.
CORONER—How long had the female lived with you alto-
gether?—About three )ears last October, altogether.
Had she been in the habit of sleeping out.?—No, not to my
knowledge. But on the Sunday previously to the 3d April
she.went out, and was from home that night. She did not
sleep from home on any night before that to my know-
ledge. On the morning of the Monday, before be came back
with the boy, Good called at my house, and in answer
to a question from me, he told me the female was gone. I
don't recollect whether he called her his wife, or whether in
speaking of her he designated her at all. I asked why she ha 1
gone without telling me ? He replied that she had gone to a
place to keep a lodge at a gentleman's house, and weuldnot re-
turn. He had told me a fortnight before that she was going
to keep a lodge, but did not tell me where. He said he
was himself going to a fresh place, but did not say
when. He said he had come for the purpose of taking
away her things—the mangle and bed. She kept a mangle,
and took in linen for the purpose of mangling it. I said I was
surprised at her leaving. He made me very little answer. I
had no teason for disbelieving his story. He had paid the
rent a fortnight previously, and told me he did not know
how soon she might have occasion to go. I never had
any conversation with the female on the subject after
Good spoke to me about her leaving. I only saw her
two or three times afterwards. She was not in the habit of
talking much. I did not " dispute " the matter as she had
said once on a former occasion that she wished to go into
service. The bonnet now produced I have seen before. It
was shown me last Saturday. I have seen the neckerchief
also. I could swear to them to the best of my knowledge. I
have seen the bonnet worn. I think I have also seen the
neckerchief, but reould not so positively swear to that. I.
have no doubt in my own mind that the bonnet produced is
that which was worn by the woman Jane Jones when she last
left my house on Sunday the 3d April. The neckerchief is
also similar to one which I have seen her wear. The gown
produced was shown me at the same time. I know it well;
it belonged to Mrs. Good, or Jane Jones. She was
called Mrs. Good by every one in the house after she
told me she was married. She had a padlock fastening
on her door. There was another lock on the door. but she
gene ally used the padlock. rcannot identify ether of the keys
pro.luced as belonging to her door; but 1 think I have seen the
guard with which the keys are tied together round het neck. I
could swear that I have seen her wear one similar io make and
colour. I could not say whether she had a wa'ch or not;
but I have seen a key attached to it. Good told me he
had purchased a pair of boots for her, the day he paid me
the rent. That was last Monday fortnight. He was in the
shop when he told me the'. I cannot swear to or identify the
borne I have not seen the body of the female into whose
death we are new inquiring. There was no circumstance by
which I could identify her particularly. She was a person of
very " close habits." I have no knowledge of her being preg-
nant. She never said anything to me, or to any one else to my
knowledge, to induce me to believe that she was.
CORONER—Orr what apparent terms did this man and
woman live? Witness—l had never heard any quarrel.
CORONER—Did you ever see anything to lead 'you to believe
that any animosity existed between them? Witness-1\ o; on
the contrary he always appeared very kind to her. Have you
any knowledge that she ever bore a child?—No, I have not.
What aged woman was she?—l cannot say po,itively, but I
think she was about forty. She was a woman of middle stature,
about five feet two inches ; she was not stout, she was a neat
little woman. I think her eyes were dark. Her skin was riot
dark, but not very fair. I never saw any mark on her body or
throat by which I could identify her.
CORONER—When did you last see Good? Witness—en
Tuesday night, when he said he had come to town with his
family to a ball, and he went to his wife's room, which wee
on the kitchen floor. I don't know how long he remained
there.

CORONER—What did you say? Witness-1 inquired how
Mrs. Gnod was, and he told me he had not seen her that day.
I did not inquire more particularly, for I was offended at her
leaving without telling me. The mangle sad bed are still in
the room. Since Tuesday night I have not seen Mrs. Good.
Mary Anne Clarke, of No. 18, South-street, Mani.hester-
square. My husband is a tailor. I lodge in Mr. Brown's
house. I knew Mrs. Good. She re: ided in the front kitchen,
where she worked a mangle, and occasionally took in washing.
Daniel Good, a little boy, lived with her, as son-in-law, hut he
called her mother. I know the bonnet on the table, for it was
made by me about a year and a half ago. lam not a bonnet-
maker, but I made this because Mrs. Good asked me. I h.:ve
no doubt that it is Mrs. Good's bonnet. I have seen her wear
a gown of exactly the same pattern as that on the table.
CORONER—Have you ever seen any particular mark on her
person ? Witness—l have not. I never saw her stripped, bet
I think [ could identify her hair. I think, howeve I have
seen a mole on her neck, which 1 should know again. She
used to wear a handkerchief on her neck in the morning of the
same pattern as the p.ece now on the table. I saw her last
about ten o'clock in the morning on Sunday week. She came
into the back-yard for water; she appeared in go-id health. I
never saw any'ching in her appearance to make me think she was
pregnant ; but I have heard that she told another lodger, about
thtee months since, that she was pregnant. flowerer, she
afterwards contradicted it. She told me in the winter that she
had a bad face, which she attributed in some degree to her
feelings on account of bad language which her basband had
used to her.

Sarah Young, of 99, Earl-street, an old woman, said that on
Sunday week Mrs. Good asked her to take the little boy home
with her ta sleep for that night, for that she was going to ss e
her husband, and was afraid to take the child with her, as she
dreaded Good might massacre her, because the boy called her
mother. She said she hoped it might pour with rain to pre-
vent her going out to her husband, as she did not know what
he meant, or was up to. Witness took the boy home tkat
night. Mrs. Good she had not seen since.
Mrs. Elizabeth Christie—l lodge with Mrs. Brown. I knew
Mrs. Good and her little son-in-law. I.saw her last on Sunday
the 3d of April, at 12 at noon. She stood at the door of her
room, and asked if I thought it would rain. I said we might
have showers. She then said she had been sent for to go out,
but she was not to bring the little boy with her, and she was in
distress where to put him. She put her hands together, and
said, " I hope it will pour with rain the whole of the afterno n "
She did not say where she was going, but I surmised she was
going to see her husband. Ic in swear that the bonnet and
shawl were her's, and the gown I believe to have been her's.
saw Good on the following Tuesday night, a' about hall-past
10 o'clock, when he came into his wife's room. He said, My
little boy is in the country with his mother; but he did not
state the mils° of her absence. In the beginning of March
she said, I thought some time ago I was in the family way, but
now I know for certain lam not. I thought she was too old to
have a child, but I said nothing. Good seemed to be kind to
her. On going away he used to say, Good bye, my dear ;
take care of yourself.
Lavender Layton, a confectioner at Putney ; knows Daniel
Good, and saw him last Sunday evening se'nnight near Ham-
mersmith-bridge, in company with .a woman, whom he intro-
duced as his sister. The female eviden,ly desired not to be
seen. Her bonnet was something like that now on the table.
Mrs. Hester, of Peake's-bridge, near Putney. Knew Good.
He brought a woman with him last Sunday week, whom he
called his sister in-law. They state !to tea. She had on a
purple bonnet, though some might call it a blue bonnet. I
then said something disagreeable has taken place between you
and Susan Butcher; and, address'ng his sister. in-law, I s..id,
" You know Susan Butcher ?" She said, "No ; who is
she ?" I said, " She was living with her father at
Woolwich, whera he was a shipwright." The sister-
in-law seemed very much hurt, and asked Good who this
girl was. He said a friend of his. The stranger then ob-
served to me that she plainly raw Good wished to change the
subject, and she said she had a great charge against him, on ac-
count of his little boy. Good flew into a t age, and hurried her
off. I invited her to come and spend this day with me, and she
pron.ised. She seemed very much hurt about Susan Butcher.
the bonnet produced is that she had on. On 'Tuesday morn-
ing, Good came to my house with his little boy, and wanted
me to take care of him. I said I could not, as I was going to
London. I returned at half-past eight, and the little boy was
there. I have not seen Good since. The boy slept in the
house that night with my children.
. Mr. Browne, landlord of the Coach and Horses, Barnes, knew
Good personally, and served him and a female with gin and
water on Sunday evening week. He said she was his sister ;
she said nothing but smiled.
Constable 24 V, met a female with Good going towards
Mr. Shiel's, late on Sunday evening; they appeared to have
been quarrelling.
Sergeant Parry, of the R d vision, identified the bonnet,
shawl, and other articles proved to have been viol n by Mrs.
Good, as having been given to him by Lydia Susannah Botcher,
a young woman residing with her father at No. 13, Charlotte-
place, Woolwich. Witness got them from her o r Thursday.
Lydia Susannah Butcher examined.—Said she was generally
a servant, but lived now with her father in Woolwich. lam a
single woman. The articles on the tab:e were given to me on
Wednesday by Mr. Good, as a gilt. He came between three
and four in the afternoon: We had been acquainted tor some
time. He was very kind to me, and used to come to see me as
a suitor where I lived. When he brought the things, he wanted
me to put the bonnet on and go with him to Greenwich. He
had told me a considerable time before that he had to give me
some things which belonged to his wife, who had died.
As a great number of other witnesses were to be examined,
the inquest was adjourned.
