THE GMAT TASMANIA CASH

After the despatch of our parcel on Wednesday,
The coroner proceeded to iteldreao the jury. He might
truthfully say, from an experience of twenty years
as coroner, that he had never net with a case that was
more deplorable in its results than the one before them.
Having referred at some length to the circumstances under
which the troops left India, the tweeter said that in hie
opinion the captain and crew .4 the 'hip had done every-
thin that could have been expected from them, and there
was not the shadow of a charge against them. He believed,
also, there weasel the slightest imputation upon theowners
of the vessel. The regimental offieers, ot far as he could judge,
were completely exonenebal front blame, or even the appear-
ance of blame. Soldiers were notorious for having a
"spree" before embarking ou a voyage; but he held
that there ought to have been some iuopection of the troops
in this came by some person or other before they went on
I board, to see that they had clothing and other necessaries
for the voyage kolas. Having real portions of the evidence,
the coroner said they had it proved that an engage-
ment WAS made by the (Named of India to have thes
soldiers carried to England for a certain amount. It would
be for the jury to say whether that engagement had been
carried out, and according to the evidence such hail been the
case. The government were to provide the necessary done
for the voyage, and it would be for the jury to say whether
those stores were supplied, and if not supplied, it would he
for them to say who was to blame. They might make any
presentment they liked with regent to the stores anti the
ventilation of the ship.
The jury retired at half-past eight o'cloek, and after two
home' consultation they returned the following verdict :
" That, Thomas Beach died from uatund causes, and that
his death was accelerated by noceseatry ',owed to the work.
house." In the case of the other six, they found that they
" died of scurvy, bronlit on by led beet and ors to
cold on board ip." The jury further found, " That the
provisions supplied by the government AS stores for the use
of the troops were bad, and unfit for human food, with the
exception of the tea, pork, pickle., and rim. That there
was an entire almence of proper disinfectants, end
that the lime juioe had host its medicinal pro-
perties when put on board, That the, of
who signed the General Inspection Report' are the
culpable parties, so far as the quality of the stores is oon-
cersed. That the captain and officers of the ship wean.
tirely free from blame, sail that the ship's centract was
satisfactorily fulfilled. That the military officers and the
MAWS did their best, tinder the cirmouatauees in which
they were placed, to promote the health of the men under
their charge."
