An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon before Dr. Squires, tbo coroner, and a jury, on the body of Charlotte Boseley, who was found dead on a sofa io tbe Bay View Hotel, at an early hour on tho morning of that day. The following evidence was given : — Caroline Godbaz: I have been living at the Bay View Bo tei for the last year. I last saw Mrs Boseley alive yesterday morning; she was then iv the room where tha body now is; Mr Boseley was with her. When J saw her ehe had no black eyes or bruises about ber face. She was not sober. They were quareUing, I did not hear what they were saying. This morning Jimmy Dux (or Millyard) called me. He told me Mrs Boseley was dead. He told me Mr Boseley had found her. I went to ee9 her, and saw she was dead. They bad been on the drink since Wednesday. Jimmy was looking after tbe bar yesterday. He went into the room once yesterday where they were. I saw Mr Boseley several times yesterday; he went into the bar and got some beer and drank it himself. Mrs. Boseley might have gone into the bar and had some drink without my knowing it. Mr Wadman went into the sitting-room yesterday afternoon, Jimmy and I went to bed between nine and ten o'clock last night. We left Mr Boseley up, he was then in the sitting-room with Mrs Boseley. Jimmy was sober when he went to bed. I heard no noise alter I went to bed. William Millyard s I am barman at the Bay View Hotel, Suburban North, Nelson. I saw Mrs Boseley last alive about ten o'clock yesterday morning. She was not sober; The marks on her face now were not there yesterday morning. I did not see or hear either Mr or Mrs Boseley after two o'clock yesterday afternoon till Mr Boseley came into my room this morning about a quarter to five o'clock; he asked me for a match. He came up again and told me she was dead. I went down into the parlor and found she was dead. To my knowledge Mr Boseley took no drink yesterday. I did not supply Mrs Boseley with any drink yesterday. Mr and Mrs Boseley might have gone into the bar occasionally without my knowing it. I heard Mr Boseley go to bed about seven o'clock yesterday eveniog. I did not bear him come down again. Mr Boseley was not in the habit of getting up as early as half* past four in the morning; his time was between half-past seven and eight o'clock. It did not seem strange that he should come to my room at that early hour in the morning. The body of Mrs Boseley was quite cold when I felt it Mr Boseley had bis shirt and trousers on when he called me. I do not know where Mrs Boseley was when I went to bed. I saw Mr Boseley about seven o'clock last night. He left the bar in my charge. I do not know if he was sober when he went to bed. There was no light in the house where the body is when I went to bed. The inquest was theu adjourned until Tuesday, at two p.m., in order to allow a post mortem examination of the body to be made. During tbe course of the proceedings, Newman Boseley, the husband of the deceased, was committed to gaol for three days for contempt of court.
