THE INQUESTS.  The inquests on the two unfortunate women, Mrs. Browne and Annie Brown, her daughter, and on Brad. shaw, their supposed murderer, have been held. Mrs. Browne, it appears, was the wife of a Frenchman, from whom she was separated, and against whom she held a magisterial protection. The evidence taken was chiefly as to the diacevery of the bodies after the murder. From that of Harriet Emberson, who lived as wife with Bradshaw, it would seem that after committing the murder on Tuesday night Bradshaw returned to his domicile at about one on Wednesday morning, and went to bed. Nothing transpired from which she could surmise anything of the dreadful tragedy which had just been enacted. He was very restless, and arose two or three times during the night. The next morning, while at breakfast, he complained of illness and left the room. Emberaon shortly after heard a groan, and on going into the next room found Bradshaw dead with his throat cut. Nothing was formally placed before either jury as to the cause of this appalling crime, built was proved that certain locks which Bradshaw had taken with him when he left his lodgings on Tuesday at Bow were found in the house of Mrs. Browne, the deceased, and no doubt is entertained as to his being the murderer. The knife-sheath, found under the body of Mrs. Browne, has not, however, been identified as his. In the case of Bradshaw a verdict of felo-de se was returned, and the other inquest on the two women ass adjourned.  The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Mrs. Browne and her daughter has been resumed and concluded. The Scat witness called was Ann Munro, who said that she lived at 294, Higt9street, Poplar, with her aunt, who keeps a baker's chop. About 20 minutes to 11 on Tuesday she saw some one put up the shutters at Mrs. Browne's shop, which is just opposite. This was earlier than usual. She saw a man standing in the back parlour about two o'clock in the afternoon. He had his back to her, and she could not see his face ; therefore she could not say who it was. She knew Bradshaw, and believed the man she saw in Mrs. Browne's house was Bradshaw. John Nickhols, 137, New North.read, said he knew Bradshaw well. The deceased Miss Browne came to his house last Sunday evening, between sir and eleven o'clock, when she went home. Miss Browne told witness that Bradshaw had received letters from Mrs. Littlepage, who was Miss Owen before her marriage. Bradshaw did all these letters up together, put four stamps on the cover, and asked Miss Browne to post them. She refused to do so, and Bradshim out them in his pocket, and said it did not matter. Mrs. Litlepage said: lam a married woman. My husband is a marine engineer. He is at sea. lam not separated from him. I knew Mr. Bradshaw, Coroner: Look at these two letters (produced); are they in your handwriting ? Witness: They are dated from my house. Do you know who wrote them? I do not. I cannot as who wrote the letters. The only person I can suggest is Mr. Bradshaw himself. I never met Mr. Bradshaw alone. I will swear it. Coro. nor : There are letters written to Mr. Bradahaw In your name from November 20th till February 28th. Do you mean to say Mr. Bradshaw amused hinr self with writing letters to himself That is my in. ference. Mrs. Whines said she received s packet of letters, and believe they are in tha handwriting of my sister•in.law, Mrs. Littlepage. I saw her pus my horde a few weeks ago in company with Mr. Bradshaw. After some other evidence bad been given, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Bradshaw.  THE DEAD Art.—The art of writing oriBinal plart—Judy.
