Tan KIZZLIIIII HA LL Cottinex Rip/omit. —The
adjourned in9uort on Berry, one of the unfortunate sufferers
bythia shocking occurrenoe,took place on Thursday evening,
at Aspul-sou. The evidence adduced went to show that
the beam Otte six men left in the mine were found near
the plasm at which they bad been engaged in building what
en mad the mopping'!" to smother out the fire, by cut-
okisireemmunication with the air pampa It wee also
item that as bottom of a sakty-lamp was found, the top
=Mee meerewed 611:411 it; and it was stated that, if
the gaits led time this la get a better light from it,
the englrise Mat have reetasi from that. Mr. Roberts,
dee Idea& of the detemed, elicited from
the Asset it was ellangted to be shown
that the did not eogatemage the nee el gun-
powder in the mine, and that they did net know of it, that
the drills used for the purposes of Weedy with gunpowder
in the pits were sharpened by the bigamist la she pay of
the employers and that the me ad net per he We sharp-
ening. He shoo elicited widows to thew that the colliers
could not work at the pride paid at this colliery Wise they
had gunpowder; so that it was of advantage to the employer.
He also wished the wooer to examine witnesses whom he
undertook to produce to show that the owners of the col-
limy refused to allow men to go down to rescue the colliers
in the mine at the time of this explosion, if such men were
not in their own employ, and also refused to allow
others to come out of the mine after being burnt,
for a considerable time. The coroner said the deceased
(Hemp) died after being taken from the mine, and he did
not think the evidence Mr. Roberta offered would throw any
light en the cause of the accident, but he would leave it to
thejury. Mr. John Lancaster, one of the owners, expressed
• wish that Mr. Holorte's witnesses should be examined.
The jury, however, decided that the evidence already

and after a consultation of 10 minutes they gave a verdict of
" Accidental Death."
