MURDER OF MRS. DONA TTY.

In the adjourned examination of James Harrison and 'Mary
Young, yesterday, at Hatton Garden Police ()Mee, they both
clearly established an olibi. and were instantly discharged.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
A respectable Jury sat at the Workhouse, in Gray's Inn-lane,
at three o'clock, and having, with the Coroner, Mr. Svnitisc.
viewed the body, which lay at the house in Robert-street, they
returned to the Jury-room, and examined witnesses.
Mr. Lewis Hensley, Surgeon, deposed as to the nature of tLe
wounds. lie found a deep wound on the left side of the neck,
passing from the jugular vein in a slanting direction towards the
vertebra, the instrument having divided both the internal and
external jugular vein and carotid artery. 'There was another
wound on the right side of the neck, near the back part, pro-
bably inflicted with the same instrument as the former wound.
He should think it must have been a pointed double-edged knife,
or some instrument of that kind, probably about half an inch
across the blade, that was used in the perpetration of the horrid
deed. The other injuries he observed were a few slight bruises
on the legs and arms, and the forcible removal of the ring finger
of the left hand: it was cut off at the second joint, and probably
by the same instrument with which the other wounds were in-
flicted. It might be as well to mention, that both the wounds
were stabs, and not cuts; the instrument, therefore, must have
been sharp pointed. The bruises that he had referred to were in
all probability produced by the struggling of the deceased, either
prior to her receiving the wounds, or at the time she fell.
'Mrs. Sarah Cheney, Mrs. Mary Earle, Mr. Monk, the col-
stable of the night, William Walton, the watchman, and Win.
Bobon, the patrol, gave evidence, the substance of which adds
nothing to the information on the subject we gave yesterday.
Mary Ann Young, the young woman who, with her step-fa-
ther, had been in custody on suspicion of the murder, deposed
as follows:-She lives at 16, Baker's-row, Clerkenwal. She had
attended on the deceased occasionally nearly two years ; they
agreed very well together, but sometimes there might be a t; !fling
difference about something. Witness lived with her mother. but
went sometimes in the middle of theday to do jobs or go of mes-
sages for the deceased ; hut slept there every night. She some-
times went there at eight o'clock, and sometimes not till past
eleven or twelve. On Saturday last witness left the deceased
at half-past seven in the morning, and after leaving her a loaf
of bread, did not return until half-past ten at night, when site
found a crowd collected before the door, and then heard of the
murder. Witness bad no sweetheart or other person come to
visit her at the deceased's, neither did she ever describe the si-
tuation of the house to any person, nor had she any suspicion by
whom the murder was committed. The back door was always
bolted, both day and night.
Harriot Perceval and Elizabeth Ryans were examined, but tie
new fact was elicited.
The Jury, at ten o'clock, returned a verdict of--44 WiUaL
Murder, against some person or persons unkuown."
