ADJOURNED INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon, the adjourned inquest was held at the
Golden LiOo, King-street, St. James's. before Thomas Higgs,
Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mary Rowley.
Mr. Thomas Rose, of Park-place. St. James's', surgeon. de-
posed, that on examining the body of the iteceased, he found
toe right thigh and leg considerably swollen, which he consi-
dered the result of erysipelons inflammation. There Was not
the slightest appearance to warrant an opinion, that the de-
ceased had received any Injury, which could directly cause tie
death of the deceased.
The Jury retired fur nearly a /loaner of an bonroind being
unable to come to a decision, returned, informing the Coroner,
they wished further wiawsses to be called.
The CORONER informed them, that Dr. Armstrong. of the
Fever Institution, was present, end had viewed the body.
Doctor Armstrong said, before he g see evidence, he wished
to examine the brain of the'deceated, and retired for that
purpose.
Rebecca Deacon, of Angel-court, said she lived opposite the
house of the deceased. I.ast Friday week the window, of the
two houses were open, and witness observed Mary Burgs dreg
the deceased into the second floor room by a handiterehief
which was round her neck. They were separated by the hos-
' band of the deceased, and Burns went into the court.• She
there said, " If it bad nut been for her husband she wouldhave
been the death of her, and she wonld yet."
Dr. Armstrong returned, and a ..id it was his opinion that the
death of the deceased had been caused by fever. The (state of
the brain was of itself clei!e sufficient to account for her death.
Tne thigh might have been predisposed to inflammation by any
blows she had received; but he was inclined to think that the
death of the deceased did not arise from local infiaustealion.=
The unhealthy atmosphere welch she breathed might have pro-
duced her fever, as might several other causes. Under the
ps-
culler circumstances of the ease. he could not determine whe-
ther the fever was the immediate result of I .cal inflammation,
or the effect of atmospliere.sor general causes.
The Jury once more retired, and in about twenty minutes
returned.
The Foreman then said, it wits the opinion of the Jury that
the deceased died of fever, produced by blows received from
Mary Burns.
The CORONER suggested, that before the Jury returned so se-••
doily a verdict they had better hear further evidence.
Eleanor (Minn was employed by the i • risk to nurse the de-
' ceased. The deceased coneiderel herself injured by Mary
Hunts, and wished to he righted; she fr. quently assested that
Burns was the cause of her death. At eleven o'clock on Sun-
day night, the deceased imputed the tapes of her death to
Burns; and expired about half an hour afterwards. Deceased
was perfectly sunsi le up to the moment of her death ; she oa
no occasion was light-headed. •
A considerable diecusslin took place between the Jury and •
the Coroner. it was stated by Juryman that the professional
gentlemen could nut say what was the immediate cause of death,
therefore they could not alter their verdict.
The CORONER suggested that the accused was entitled to the
benefit of their doubts, and objected to the wording of the
verdict.
A Juryman observed, that they heti no ►vidence as to the be-
ginning of the quarrel, and pressed the Coroner to receive the
verdict; they had nu evidence as to its being reansiamenter or
murder.
Notwithstanding the objections, the above verdict was re-
corded.

DUET..—Yeßtrtday morning a meeting took place at.
Hounslow, between Mr. B seconded by Lieutenant
T-. and Mr. D-, seconded by Mr.
The parties fired by signal, when Mr. D.'s ball passed
through his antagonist's hat. The seconds then interferel,
and the affair happily terminated.

Amongst the prisoners who were tried for felony en i
acquitted at the late Salford Quarter Sessions, was a Jane
Hewitt: she is already again an inmate of the new prison,
under the following circumstances :—A man of the nein!,
of Cumberland hail absconded a f irtnight ago, taking with
him the property of his employer (Mr. Rrynrr, of this
town, merchant) to the amount of 6001., which he had
been directed to remit to Liverpool by post ; it consistiog
of a bill of exchange for 5001. and some bank notes.—A
large reward was immediately offered for his apprehen-
sion, hat as yet without effect. On Friday se'noight,
however, the above female .ofered a hank note in payment,
at the Green Man, at Ashbourn, under some circum-
stances which created suspicion ; and on a constable being
sent for, he recognized the bank note as part of the pro.
perty described in a placard-bill sent from Manchester,
giving notice of the robbery. On examination, all the
other bills were found in her possession, with the excep-
tion of a 101. note. She said she had met wi b Cumberland
in Alinchester, who :old her he was a half-pay officer, and
she agreed to go to London with him. At Maccltstield
she said he had Intrusted her with the money, and fur
some reason which she did not explain, she proceeded
to
Ashbourn, where she was to have met him. The proba-
bility is, that this has been a " diamond cut diatnonti"
case, and that she has robbed the robber. In our ,
we hope to learn that Cumberland bas been &Ise er
hended.—(Mancherter Herald.)
