MYSTERIOUS DROWNINE CASE Al' HUNsIXT.— ThO adjourned inquest relative to the death of Winifred Fee, aged 10, whose body was found on the 1-4th ult. in the canal below the Suspension Bridge, Hunslet, was resumed on Monday afternoon before Mr. Malcolin, the Leeds coroner. Deceased, who was a widow living in York street, left home on the day in question to attend a funeral in Hunslet. In the evening she met with some friends, with whom she went to the Garden Gate Inn, where she had a glass of spirits. After calling at another public-house, her friends suddenly missed her, and she was not seen again until a fortnight after, when the swell caused by a steam tug brought her dead body to the surface. The body was almost without clothing, and bore marks of violence, which, according to medical evidence, might have been caused either by the screw of a steamer, or by alighting upon a stune. At the inquiry, two or three witnesses deposed to having heard the screams of a woman proceeding from the river, and also to having seen two men running away from the spot. One of the witnesses, however, stated that it was not unusual to hear screams proceeding from that particular place, as it was frequently infested with bad sheracters.—The Jury, after consulting a short time, returned a verdict to the effect "That deceased had been found dead in the water, but there was not sufficient evidence to show bow the injuries which caused death had been inflicted." They also desired the Coroner to draw the attention of the authorities to the dangerous openings to the water at the foot of the steps leadirg Irons the Suspension Bridge at Hirst and Brooke's, and at the foot of Goodman street.—Tbe Coroner said that the representation of the jury would be communicated to the proper authorities.
