THE MURDER IN ST. GILES'S.  Yesterday afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry respecting the death of a man, aged about 30, who is believed to have committed suicide, and who is supposed to have been the murderer of Emma Jackson, in George-street, St. Giles's, last April. The case, from the nature of the rumours afloat, excited extraordinary interest, and the court was crowded.  vGt had eaccnMot tir g e. Richard Reilly, exaamsoffiitnhcienergh, oasoffinafidese,rhinadthercuhstoms, said that last Monday evening he saw the body of deceased floating past witness's boat off the St. Katherine's Docks. Witness assisted in getting it ashore. It was that of a man about 30 or 32 years old. It appeared to be that of an Englishman rather than a foreigner. 'The hands were tied together with a twine, apparently by himself. The face had not the black appearance then that it has now. The coat, trousers, and waistcoat matched. They were made of brown and grey crossed tweed. The coat was a lounging coat. The trousers had a russet cord. A red shirt, a white all round collar, and a black silk tie, completed the dress. When searched a fusee box, a leather belt, two pieces of comb, and a handkerchief, were found in the pockets. No money or knife was found. Deceased was about five feet seven inches in height, and was more stout than slight built. Inspector Henry Beckett, Thames Police, said that he was present when the deceased was found. He produced the articles found upon deceased. The combs were apparently of caoutchouc, and were of French manufacture. The cord on deceased's hands was fastened in a running knot, such as he could have put on himself. Witness thought that the body bad been from eight to twelve days in the water. Witness should say that he was a clerk—not a labouring man nor sailor. He arrived at that opinion from examining the hands and nails. Deceased was respectably dressed, and had on a red Garibaldi shirt. There were slight whiskers and a small down Margaret door seeo r ,the oa f btbhlo ae black man, moustache. There was a tuft on, or rather over the chin. It wai larger than an " Imperial." The face was discoloured from decomposition now. The hair was brown or chesnut, and the eyes hazel. The Coroner said that be should take deceased to be a foreigner from his appearance. The boots had kid tops, and they were certainly more slightly fashioned than was usual with English ones. Witness said he was inclined to think deceased ito.f an Englishman.
