Saturday in Il corutield at Waterloo, Liver

forward to identify the body, and there was
no evidence to show the cause Of death.
The police surgeon, who had made a post
msorteUt examination, sad the body was in
a very advanced state Of decomposition; the
greater part of the face was completely gone,
as also was the flesh from the legs and arms.
There must have been some violence, accident

of the body it was impossible to say. 1t was
