THE INQUEST-THIS DAY.  This mulling Mr Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, resumed the inquiry touching the death of MI Briggs, alleged to have been murdered on the 9th of July on the North London Railway. Although so early an hour as 8 o'clock was fixed for the commencement of the proceedings, a large crowd assembled outside the Hackney Town-hall, in the hope of catching a glimpse of Mul er, who. it had been arranged, would be in attendance for the purpose of hearing read over the evidence which had been taken on previous days. The inquest room was densely crowded.  Precisely at 8 o'clock Muller was brought lab o the ic quest room in custody of Inspector Tanner. Ile was brought from the House of Detention in the prison van, and on reaching the Town-hall he was received with lout execra • tions. On entering the inquest room he at once entered into earnest conversation with Mr Beard, his solicitor, on whose application witnesses were ordered out of court. George Blythe said that Muller lodged in his house. Ho saw him on Saturday, the 9th July. On the following day they walked out together. He wore the dress he had been in the habit of wearing. He recognised Muller in Court. By Mr Beard—He wore the same clothes on Sunday as he had worn on Saturday. By a Juror—He did not know whether he had any change of linen.  Mrs Blythe, who was examined on a previous occasion, was recalled, and identified Muller. She said ho had six new shirts when he left.  Matthews the cabman, Mrs Matthews, Haifa, Sergeant Clarke, Inspector Tanner, and Mr John Death identified Muller es the person to whom they had referred in their evidence.  Mr T. Briggs said his father usually wore his necktie in a bow, and at the time of the occurrence he wore a mourning band on his hat, He believed that the hat which had been produced and inspected was his father's. The Coroner said this was the evidence on which he should wish the jury to consider their verdict. The inquiry had extended over several days, and possibly some of it might have escaped their recollection. The Coroner then prom ded to road the testimony of the various witnesses, commencing with that of Mr Thomas Briggs, Muller listened with marked attention to the evidence, and several times made remarks to Mr Beard on the subject of it. It will be remembered that Mrs Buchanan, the niece of the deceased, said in the course of her evidence that she knew a person who had asked her uncle for a loan, which had been refused. That person had declared he would do her uncle an injury. This evidence seemed particularly- to attract Muller's attention, who evinced much astonishment while it was being read. On arriving at the evidence of Mr Leigh, who stated that he saw two persons in the carriage with the deceased en the night of the murder, that gentleman, at the request of the jury was recalled, and in answer to questions, said he could net identify Muller AS3 one of those persons. A juror suggested that Muller might put on the hat, which was found in the carriage. Muller put on the hat and stood up, but Mr Leigh could not identify him. Mr Beard—Can you describe the two men you saw in the carriage ? Mr Leigh —The man who rat by the Bide of Mr Briggs
