It is also stated that the cord tied round febe limb found in the river and a portion of that which was DMd to tie np the parcel were similar. Afe the conclusion of the examination the cloth ng was disinfected and thoroughly inspected by febe police, who state that it was covered with maggots and vermin. Adhering to one portion was found a piece of newspaper taluratcd with blood. It bore no date, but the date wten the paper was published can easily be ascertained. The dress stuff was found to be a rich flowered silk undershirt, which proves that the unfortunate victim was not one of the poorer class of society. Nothing was discovered to indicate the cause of death, but the doctors are of opinion that the woman had been murdered about three weeks, and the advanced state of decomposition was due to exposure. The doctors are preparing an elaborate report of the whole case, which will be submitted a’ the inquest to be held at the Sessions House, Westn ins ter, on Monday next.
