Professor Pepper, of St. 's Hospital, said he had come to the conclusion that the body was that of a woman, and measured 4 feet 10 inches. The age was certainly over thirty, perhaps over forty. The probable cause of death was a stab just above the heart. There was a fracture of the spine, which was probably caused by pushing the body into the tub. Death could not have been from suicide. The woman had, he thought, been dead about two years.  Ciaxa's Drsrurrs arra Rcssie.—Chung How still remains under arrest, but his friends now hope that he will obtain his release before long.
