CORONER'S INQUEST.  The inquiry into the circumstances attending Use death of Urieti Greenland was held on Monday and resumed on Wednesday morning, before Mr. Fry, the coroner. . _  In opening the proceedinp, the coroner said his endeavours to procure the presence of the prisoner had been ineffectual.  --- The evidence of Elizabeth Greenland, widow of the , deceased, was taken. and she made statements of • ; highly important nature. She raid —I know the pri• softer well. He quarrelled with my deceased husband , three times sine our marriage, which took place two years and two months ago. The first time was about the prisoner having attempted in my house to take indecent liberties with me, and when I resisted he said it was no harm es I was his niece. I was afraid to tell my husband at the time, but I told him afterwards. I feared they would fight. and that my husband would get the worst of it, es I had hi ard that the prisoner would pull out his knife in company. I told the prisoner at the time lie assaulted me that if he did not stop I would scream and call the police. The second , time they quarrelled was about work, and the third time the prisoner .rock the deceased at his own door, and , used in..tilting language towattls me. Ile called we a a vile Inoue. I believe the prisoner had a spite against the deceased. hecau.c my husband had awarraut against him We lived about twenty yards from the prisoner. When my husband left logo reaping I begged him not to work with Byer!, as if he did the Lord would surely take his strength from him ; because my husband had said that if lie ever worked with Ityarti again lie hoped his arm would drop from him. My husband told me when they quarrelled the second time tlat the prisoner drew a kmfe and told him, " I'll make thee feel this." My husband said to the prisoner. " Throw your knife over into tl.at field, and I'll fight you manfully." lisard refused to do that. The knife handle w:is then produced, and the witness said—l have not seen that in the prisoner's hand, but I have seen that (another knife which had been found in prisoner's house.) On the morning after the third qiisrrel my husband went for Police-coustrible Ilillward, He Came down to see Byard, who had a bayonet in his hand and was thrusting it into the wall. The prisoner was intoxicated at the time. Hillward said, " What are you about to dor 'Hie prisoner said," I shall not injure you." Millwxrd said, " Nor anyone elae whilst I am lure ." Millward saw him safe home, and the prisoner's wife locked the door. After Millward left the prisoner came out again. I liesrd him say he would be —if he would not go and find him—ineaning, as believed, my husband. I followed the prisoner, and met my husband in the street. They then shook hand". I believe that my husband was angry with the prisoner for attempting to take liberties with toe, and that the prisoner was angry with any husband for knowing thet he had done so. After some further evidence,' The Coroner summed up, and, after a brief deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Byard Greenland."  The unfortunate occurrence at Notting-hill of the death of a youth named Charles ltoutledge, while engaged in an altercation with his father, has been inquired into by the coroner, when the evidence addneed led the jury to return a verdict of death from apoplexy. On Wednesday the father was brought again before Mr. Inghaw,at lisinmenniith Police-court, when the magistrate requiring the attendance of certain witnesses, lie was further remanded, and the same bail accepted for his appearance.
