SHOCKING WIFE MURDER.  Dr. Thomas, coroner, has held an inquest at the University College Hospital, London, into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Scoines, aged 33, of 23, Pancras-street, Tottenham-court-road, who is alleged to have died from injuries inflicted upon her by her husband, William Scoines, a bricklayer. The husband was under remand front Bow-street Police-court on a charge of causing the death of the deceased. Dr. C. Hoar, one of the house surgeons of the hospital, made the post-mortem examination, and stated that he found a small bruise on the left knee, as well as a wound in the lower part of the body. The cause of death was collapse from loss of blood, and shock, and from peritonitis. A kick from behind would cause the internal rupture. The deceased was a healthy woman, and could not have been very drunk at the time. He should think that a kick produced the injury and caused the death. The coroner, in summing up the case, said there was no doubt, from the medical eviden., that the deceased died from the effects of violence arising from the kicks. The jury, after acme consideration, returned a verdict of "Wilful murder" against William Scoines, the husband.  Ear's COIROASSIL a demulcent anodyne expectorant, for Com/Maud Colds.
