The coroner for South Bucks, Mr. Arthur Charisley, opened the in, quest at Slough to-night.
Mr. Ryland identified the body as that of his daughter. He said she left Home on Friday evening at 7.43 and motored, in company with an "other lady and Mr. Seth Smith, to a dinner and dance at Maidenhead.

BONN CASE COSTS.
MAY TOTAL £30,000."
The divorce action in which Lady (Hilda Beatrice) Boan and her second husband, Sir Max Julius Philip Bonn, are respectively asking for the dissolution of their marriage, has already lasted eight days, says the Daily Mail of July 13th, and promises to be one of the longest and most costly on record.
It is expected that if the pro- ceedings last as long as is anticipat ed the litigation will cost not less than £30,000,
The suit, it fought right out, it is estimated, may not end until the Long Vacation starts on August ist. The preliminary expenses must have totalled thousands of pounds.
"All the women are treated alike. They are politely and firmly told that they must pay a deposit of treble duty and the value of the goods. The alternative is to be taken to the police station and charged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the deposit is paid either by cheque or cash.
"The, woman in. also told that the goods will be held and sent to the King's warehouse in Lower Thames- street, and that she must apply there for them on the following day. When she does so the in- formed that the board regard the case as pae of a deliberate attempt at fraud, and that the goods must be forfeited to the Crown."
