Dr/mix, Fri+. 12.

llanly, in the count• of Itos•ummon. It

annum, subject to Tn. 3s. 6d. quit rent and rent
charge. Griffith's valuation is 183/. 155.. and the
poor law valuation 142/. It was purchased by Mr.
Horatio Nelson Lauder, for 2,330/., being 17 years'

After repeated adjournments, the coroner's inquest
on the persons killed by the falling of the mill at
Beers Bridge. near Belfast, has at length terminated.
A majority of the jury returned a verdict that " they
were of opinion that Robert Boyd and John Magee
were wilfully and feloniously guilty of the improper
construction and erection of the said mill." A inino-
rity of the jury—ten out of twenty-two—came to a
different conclusion, namely : Although we consider
the falling of the said mill an accidental circum-
stance, we cannot avoid expressing our opinion that
sufficient care was not taken in its erection, although
we do not consider that that neglect amounts to
criminality." The solicitors for Mr. Boyd have en-
tered a caveat against the finding of the majority, de-
signating it both " illegal and absurd," and caution-
ing the coroner, Bernard Ward, Esq., not to issue
his warrant on it, as that " course would manifestly
be illegal."

UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.
FRUITS OF TIIE UNIVERSITY COMMIsAtoN.—A
correspondent says:—" The Greek professor at Cambridge
propose. to lecture on Thucydide.. and that admission to
these tortures should be free—for the first time. It is to be
hoped they will be well attended, for though probably they
may neither be profound nor very ingenious, they will air
isredlv be instructive and useful to the ordinary student.
This lirat fruit of the University Commission will, it is
trusted, be followed by other reforms in ' institutions so
perfect that they needed no reform at all."'
