He lifted two small parcels on the top and saw a parcel underneath on the bottom of the trunk-human remains wrapped in paper, and clothing protruded through the brown paper. He strapped the trunk up and took it to Bow-street Police Station. Dr. Rose was called, and examined the contents without removing them. The trunk was then taken to the mortuary, where Dr. Rose and Weir conducted an exmpipation of the remains in his presence.

The Coroner announced that there would have to be an adjournment for many reasons, one of which was that he had ordered an examinution to be made by an analyst of the contents of the stomach and the organs. Ho therefore proposed. lo adjourn for one month, and fixed June 19 for the "next hearing.
