The Coroner: "There is a strange discrepancy here. How could you have been ignorant of the relationship when Mrs. Death came to the Bishop Street Police Station?" Inspector Robson: "At that time I did not know that my daughter was married. As what passes in this court will be reported in the newspapers, I wish to add that no blame attaches either to her or her husband, for whom my wife and myself have the highest regard." The Juror: "He is the only son of the deceased?" Inspector Robson: "Yes." The Juror: "In point of fact the heir-at-law, unless he is dispossessed by will?" Inspector Robson: "Yes." The Juror: "Has any will been found?" Inspector Robson: "Not to my knowledge." The Juror: "Has search been made for it?" Inspector Robson: "It is now being made." The Juror: "By whom?" Inspector Robson: "By my son-in-law's attorney, Mr. Richard Remington." The Juror: "Your nephew?" "Yes." The Juror (to the Coroner): "Will Mr. Reginald Boyd be called?" The Coroner: "Not to-day. It appears, from a letter I have here, which is accompanied by a doctor's certificate, that he went yesterday to his father's house in Catchpole Square to identify the body, that he has been very ill, and that the exertion was too much for him. It is hoped that on Wednesday, to which day the inquiry will be adjourned, he will be well enough to give his evidence." The Juror: "How long has he been ill?" Inspector Robson: "Since last Saturday week." The Juror: "The day following that on which Mr. Abel Death disappeared?" Inspector Robson: "Yes." The Juror: "Can you inform us whether Mr. Reginald Boyd was on good terms with his father?" Inspector Robson: "I do not think it is a question I should be called upon to answer." The Juror: "Very well, Inspector Robson." The next witness was Mr. Richard Remington, who gave his answers generally with rapidity; but occasionally there was a slight hesitancy before he replied, as though he were considering the form of words in which he should reply. Asked if Inspector Robson was his uncle, he answered that he was proud to own it. Asked if he followed any occupation, he described himself as a Jack of all trades. "And master of none?" queried a juror jocosely. "I won't say that," replied the witness, quickly. "There are some things I can do thoroughly." "You accompanied Inspector Robson when he entered the house of the deceased on Saturday?" "I did." "You saw the body?" "Yes. It is the body of Mr. Samuel Boyd." "You were acquainted with him?" "Intimately. I was in his service nearly three months, and saw him daily." "So that you can speak with confidence on the point?" "With perfect confidence." "Can you inform us whether the room in which the body was found was Mr. Boyd's regular bedroom?" "It was. He always slept there." The Juror: "Is it the only bedroom in the house?" "No; there is another bedroom on the second floor." The Juror: "Occupied by any person?"
