man coming forward to give evidence touching the death
of a fellow creature, in such a *tate as you seem to be.
Carter: Well, ask the gentlemen round their opinien if
I'm not sober.
The Coroner: You have a very strange way of showing

-
it.
Carter, who seemed disposed to find fault at the
coroner's opinion, was directed to sit down, and his
examination was then concluded.

The jury then went and viewed the place, which In

by the projection of the eapsnier, a return fort, which
commando the ditch. Tim inside of the liarrackesquare

latrines, AO that it to surprising that he should have
turned away further off to the edge of the ramparts.
On their return the Foreman said he did not think that
any witness would Ire of any use ; it was a pure secident.
Mr. Vickery said there was a witness who knew of his
lying down on the rofa before he went to the barracks.
The Foreman said he not wish to hear any more
evidence. and no maid several of the jury.
The Coroner recapitulated the circumstances to the
jury. The poor man might have thrown himself over
wilfully, or his death ought have been caused by an
accidental fall, and he suggested that the only verdict that
: wan sound was that of •• Found Oriel." If they returned
a verdict that he threw himrelf over wilfully and so
nittsl .ukidn, it was equally a leap in the dark. What-
ever verdict they returned he should record with satisfac-
Men, for they had devoted a great deal of time and care to
the case.

The Foreman considered that the bleeding from the
wound in the head might have canoed giddiness and go
been the occasion of the fall.
The Jury returned a venliet that the deceased met his
death by an accidental fall into the ditch.
The Coroner remarked that he seen even above the
great ditch of the Verne at Portland, sonic children run-
ning up and down the sloped embankment, just above the
cronice of the stonework.
This created a sensation, for the sheer perpendicular
depth below the cornice is very much greater than at the
Nothe.
The Coroner continued that when he called out to them
and warced theme, and even threatened them if thee did
not coo.e away from that dangerous place, they turned
round, and -- •
Mr. Ellery : Laughed.
'lle Coroner: Yea, and something more.
The age of deceased WM stated to be about 27.
After the inquest was over, Superintendent Vickery
made the remarkable statement to the Coroner that it warn
believed the witneases who identified the decesse4lllA hay-
ing been in the Chapelry Tavern were le,th mistaken, for
a woman would swear that the deceased was actually in
the Military Arms, and that she washed his face about
half -past live, that he remained In their house, and that
her husband accompanied him to the gate of the Font.
The Coroner thought, in that case, there was some mis-
take in the time, and that the man's face was washed
twice.
The inquest lasted over two hours.
