SAVAGE MURDER.-Ths coroner was

SAVAGE MURDER.--The coroner was
summoned, yesterday morning, to view the
body of Mrs. Alice Ackley, wife of Samuel
Ackley, which was found dead, in the room
occupied by her husband, at the corner Of
Riyington and Essex streets. The body
was entirely without covering no marks of
violence were perceptible, and as the de.
ceased wns known to be very incorporate
habits, verdict of death from intemperance
was recorded, after a slight examination by
a surgeon, whose opinion was given to that
effect
In the mean time the husband, Ackley,
and another man, named Legar, who had
also lived in the same room, had been ar
rested and imprisoned at the upper police
office, Oh suspicion. After the rendering of
the verdict, the coroner drew up "A certlfi-
cate for the liberation of the two men, and
they were about TO he discharged, when an
order for their continued detention was re-
ceived from the alderman of the ward, cir-
cufnsiances having come to light which
strongly implicated them as the murderers
of the deceased.
Some remark had been excited, during
the inquest, by the naked condition Of the
body, and the fact that the under garments
of The deceased could no where be dlscoy-
cred. In searching about the premises, Mr..
Smith, one of the police officers, discovered
the woman's chemise, and one of her hus-
bands shirts, concealed in an out house,
and both deeply stained with blood. IN
consequence Of this discovery, the coroner
held second inquest, at which the body
WAS more carefully examined, and the hof-
rid fact became apparent that the woman
had been most cruelty mordered, by the
same means that were .resorted to by the
murderers of Edward The second, of Eng.
land, at Berkely castle, except that the IN
strument they used was made red hot,
whereas the in;estines Of the unhappy wo-
man had oeen merely facerated with rod
of wood or iron, forcibly inserted to the
) depth Of about sixteen inches, and causing
, almost immediate death.
At half past I2 this day, the coroner's
