CORONER'S OFFICE

An inquest was held at No. 3I4 Stanton street. on
the body of Patrick Markoe, who died on Monday
night while eating his supper. Verdict, death from
appopleXy.
An adjourned inquest was afterwards held on the
body OF Jacob Conway, aged six years, negro child
that died under very suspicious circumstances, at
NO " Cross street, on Sunday. The parents of the
child were ofthe very lowest grade of brutality and
the little creature when found was devoid Of cover
ing, and had several bruises and vari-
Gus parts of its body. The mother of the child de-
posed, that she and its father came from Pough-
keepsie few months since. That the man had often
beaten her, and she had suffered greatly from want
OF the common necessaries of life. This poor
ture was half Indian and half negro and presented
one of the most squald, miserable objects that has
fallen under observation. She said that the
man { y she had lived with was jealous Of her, He
had often whipped her child with piece of iron
such as goes round barrel. He did this because
the child groaned while il was sick and when she
interfered he would knock her the floor. He
had not been hoiae since the coroner sent for
Another negro wench deposed that the parents Of
the child got their living by begging from house to
house with paper about ''indian without home or
meal"
Here the coroner called upon the landlady of the
house where the child died, to testify. This person
was stout, hale fat Irish woman, and declared she
would take oath for neither man nor mortal. AZ
ter wasting some time in reasoning with her, she
was permitted to tell her story without the oath
Mrs. Callahan then stated that the parents of the
child came to her house Saturday, and begged a
shelter for charity's sake. She told them they had
an empty garret Where they might stay III they liked
for one night. The next day she heard that the
child was dead.
Mr.. Sweeny deposcd that he let a cellar TO Smith,
the father Of the child, last Christmas. When Smith
took the cellar he said his squaw had gone TO sell
some land for him. and when she got back, he should
have plenty Of money. At that time the child APP
pearcd every smart" The parents OF the child
had no furniture, only some straw to lie on and were
compelled TO borrow pans to do the cooking in. lie
was a sort of Indian doctor, and used to go about
begging with paper.
DR.. Crevelin deposed that he had made post
norton examination of the child. II was in a most
filthy condition.; the body much eNcoratcd, and the
lungs full of tubcrces, while the liver and spleen
were in a state OF disease.
The jury found that the child died from disease
and neglect.

indeHcae character that cannot sully this report
with 1T. She accused her liege lord of the act of
shame in divers places, but particular with the in
mates OF his house. who are the relations Of Captain
oil one OF our North River steamers. She of course
gave herself most surprisingly amiable character,
all OF which testified to by the parties and COM
municants OF the Presbytery to which she belonged.
Then came the other side of the story A large
number of respectable ladies and gentlemen par
sons and communicates of churches, in opposition
to the Presbyterians, swore that the lady per-

sation, undutiful wife, and very Indifferent mo-
Their Most of these ladies and gentlemen protested
to be quite acquainted with the two ladies that Mr.
Vernon had in his house, and they all swore their
characters up to the top of their bent.
Then came the question of the custody of the
child, and on this point these religious and moral
members of opposition churches, were equally posi-
tive; one party being of opinion that the child
| ought to be lodged with its mammal and the other
were fully pursuaded that its papa ought have it,
On this latter point, thought the friends of the
defendants rather preponderated.
His honor said that the statements were yerv
conflicting, that he could not give decision mme-
diately and the counsel on either side had more
testimony, why he would hear the matter further
