that every exertion might be made to procure better'
information, as Om was much suspicion in the case,
and it was but idiom that a woman was found dead ,
without somebody being able to give an account of
rher death. He also directed, that the body should
be examined by a Slrgeon, that his opinion might be
given on certain ext-mnal marks which appeared on it.
The Jury accordingly met again on Tuesday, when
several persons came forward to identify the deceased,
and among the rest an old man, who swore that the
dece•ased was his daughter, and that she was the wife
of Israel Friday, sin out-pensioner of Greenwich Col-
lege. He cheats( int into a long account of a quarrel
which took place between Friday and his wile, on
Wednesday the /et of January, and of their fighting
in his house with a knife and a hatchet, which tight he
with difficulty suppressed, and that soon afterwards
both parties left his house, and he had not been able
to hear of either of them since, except that he now
believed the deceased to be his daughter, and that
she bad been murdered by somebody, and laid on
the spot where the body was found. Other witnesses
also swore to the deceased being the daughter of theold
man. The Surgeons proved that there were marks of
violence on the head, &c. of the deceased, but not
sufficient to be deemed mortal. This evidence, how-
ever, induced the coroner to adjourn a second time;'
and he directed the Constables to make diligent seat ch
after Friday, the husband, and bring him before the
Jury on the 10th instant, to account for his wife's
'death, if possible.
The Jury accordingly met again on the 10th inst.
when the Constables reported that they had not been
able to find Friday, but that they had found his wile
w and hear ty ; whereupon the father was sent for,
and the other witnesses, all of whom were gteatly but
agreeably surprised at the sight of the woman, and
acknowledged their error in having swOta to the de-'
ceased.
The Coroner reprimanded the Witnesses severely for
their want of discrimination ; but every one allowed
that the great likeness there was between the living
woman and the deceased might have deceived better,
judges than the witnesses seemed to be, particularly
as both the women had similar private marks en each
arm. Under these circumstances further proclama-
tion was made for evidence to-identify the deceased ;
and discover how she came by 'her death; but none
appearing, the Jury returned a verdict of—Found
dead under suspicious circumstances, and with strong
marks of violence on her person, but whether inflicted
by accident or by design, they could not ascertain.
