Zero- and longitudinal-field muon-spin rotation (ZF-SR and LF-SR) measurements were carried out on a multi-layered HgBaCaCuO (Hg-1245) superconductor with of 108 K. With decreasing temperature, the observed ZF-SR function changed from a Gaussian-type to an exponential-type below 60 K and zero field muon precession was also observed below 45 K. These SR signals are attributed to the development of the antiferromagnetic ordering in inner CuOplanes with a low carrier concentration. These results seem to indicate clear evidence that antiferromagnetism microscopically coexists with superconductivity in the Hg-1245 superconductor below 60 K.
