UNION-HALL.  SUSPICION OF MURDER.—Yesterday Mr. Collier, the foreman of a jury which held an inquest on the body of a young female named Sutton, who was found drowned in the Surrey Canal, and a verdict to that effect returned, waited on Mr. CHAMBERS, in consequence of a statement which had appeared that day in one the Morning Papers, relative to the circumstance: attending the deceased's death. Mr. Collier then proceeded to state that the inquest on the body of the deceased was held on Thursday, last, and, in the course of the examination of witnesses, the surgeon, who he believed was not examined on oath, had stated that he saw no marks of violence on her person. As there was no evidence adduced to implicate any person as having been concerned in causing the death of the young woman the jury came to the conclusion, and the only one he was of opinion they could arrive at under the circumstances, that of returning a verdict of " Found drowned." And the deceased was subsequently interred. Since her burial rumours have gone forth that cries of " murder" were heard from that part of the canal where the body was found on the same night that she was supposed to have been drowned. In addition to this report, another equally important, as regards a further inquiry int o the affair has gone forth, namely, that when taken out of the water bruises were apparent on one of her arms, and one of her fingers was broken, as if engaged in a severe struggle with some person. The newspaper alluded to was produced, and the statement perused by the Magistrate, and it described that violence was strongly suspected to have been used towards the deceased ; it also mentioned that considerable excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood where she was known, and where it was rumoured a young man had been paying his addresses to her for some time. Since the holding of the inquest, the jury, upon hearing the various reports respecting the cause of the deceased's death, drew up a requisition calling upon the Coroner to have the body of the deceased disinterred, for the purpose of holding another inquest. This proceeding, however, could not be adopted ; and Mr. Carter, the Coroner, waited on Mr. Chambers, in order him of the circumstance, and to lay the etoviadpepn rzeeieproduced before the Jury before him, in the event of a further investigation into the mysterious circumstances of the young woman's death. Mr. CLIAMBERZI intimated lira willingness to investigate the matter still further, and, addressing the foreman of the late jury, said that it would be indispensably necessary to procure the residence of  the man who was alleged to have heard screams of murder proceed from the direction where the deceased was drowned on the night in question ; 25 also that of the surgeon who had attended before the jury when the inquest was held. By direction of the Magistrate summonses were according issued for the attendance of the parties named, and the affair will undergo a minute investigation into all the particulars connected with it. James Dubbins, a young man, holding the situation of messenger in Messrs. Barclay and Perkins's brewery, was brought before Mr. MURRAY, charged with stealing upward of 1001., the property of his employers. Mr. MURRAY asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything on the subject of the alleged robbery ? The prisoner replied in the negative. At the request of Mr. Hodges, belonging to the brewery, the prisoner was remanded, in order to give Mr. Barclay an opportunity of attending the next examination.
