was moved for an increase of dividend, but was defeated
by a large majority. In the course of the discussion
upon the report, the loss of the Amazon, the accident
to the Demerara, and the complaints alleged with re-
spect to the service of the Dee and the Conway, were
eoverslly alluded to, and, with respect to the irregulari-
ties mentioned, and the statement made on that ques-
tion, it was intimetrd that the management had taken
every precaution to prevent their recurrence. Some of
the shareholders objected to the mode adopted in the ar-
rangement of the accounts, which fail to show, as in
former year'', a comparative view of workings, while
others contended that it was an impolitic course to
allow so large a slim as that sot down for the deprecia-
tion of the company's fleet. it was also argued that no
suppott ought to be given to other projects, and
that distinct enterprises should be suffered to
reteke their own way, since the proprietors by
investing their money had done so with the
object of obtaining an increased dividend,
ALA not for the purpose of promoting other
routes, either of railway or steam conveyance. On
behalf of the board, it was announced that the directors
were only anxious to make such arrangements as
were likely to improve the revenue of the com-
pany; and, acting under this impression, they sought
in an ordinary manner to co-operate with under-
takings which promised to yield mutual aclvan-
tage3. With regard to the allowance for depre-
ciation in the company's fleet, it was felt that the
time had arrived for dealing with that question, and
in future an annual estimate would be calculated. It
was considered that general affairs were in a prosperous
condition, since, notwithstanding the loss of the Amazon,
there was every expectation that the whole of the new
vessels would be completed without the necessity of a
call.

The points of general interest as far as the public
are concernel in the report are the allusions to the
Atekzeo, the authority given by the Admiralty for the
use in one intit4OCe of iron instead of wood, the advance
on Panama Itiilway debentures, the project for steam to
Australia, and the views of the company regarding
the e attacks" levelled against them.- Whether the
loss cf the Amazon is to be passed over as a visi-
tation, wholly unconnected with any want of fore•
sight, is a matter upon which the public, with
all the facts recently before them, can easily form an
opinion. With restiaot to the new illustration of the
changed views of the Admiralty regarding iron, the cir-
cumstsece affords another proof of the effects of Govern-
meet interference with commercial enterprise, since it
shows that the prohibition of that material has been a
mistake, The railway loan is so completely opposed to
wend principle as to need no comment. It neither the
railway stockholders nor the public think sufficiently
well of the undertaking to supply the requisite funds, it
can hardly be proper for a company which depends
upon a Government subsidy to employ any portion of
that subsidy for such a purpose. On the subject of
steam to Australia, the announcement that the company

such application is intended, but the Pacific is the only 1
region left free from the influence of monopoly, and the 1
eefieial mode of managinz affairs of that sort is such as
to allow little chance of expostulation until it is too late.

7'HE-MURDEEBTA'IIOY IN NORFOLK
oiftwELL, Atqui, 147.-:-The Coroflees iequiry into
the death eft William Day,- a little boy, aged Ili years,
who was killed by another boy, named Jerres Pearce,
said to be of the same ago, while crow-keeping in Out-
well Fen, on Saturday lasteterminated lest eight, having
lasted two days. It. was- held at the Rose and Crown
Inn, in this parish, before Mr. W. Townley, coroner for
this district of the county, acd a resp,ctable jury. A
great number of witnesses. were exemined, the principal
of whom gave evidence as fellows:—
John Day, brother of the deceased, deposed that on
Saturday evening, with other members of the family, he
became alarmed by the non apps araece of his brother at
the usual time of his returning houae, and went, in cum-
party with a young man named Sangster, to look for
him in the village, and not finding him there, went
on to Pearce's house, whiCh was near the field where
the deceaeci was known to have been employed dutiug
the day. Saw a sister of the boy Pearce, who said
she had seen witness's brother leave the field, in com-
pany with his master, Mr. Reeve,, about four o'clock.
Witness afterwards went to the house of Mr.
Reeve, who said that the coy did not leave the field at
the same time with himself, he having given him orders
to stay there, crow-keeping, till dark, and that he had
not seen him since. Witness then went home, and find-
ing his brother had not yet returned, went out again
and wandered about in search of him till daylight,
when he resolved to go again to Pearce's cottage. Did
so accordingly, still accompanied by Sangster, and
found that Charles Pearce, about 18 years old, a bro-
ther of the boy James Pearce, was already up. Asked
him why he was up so soon. Pearce replied that he
had been drinking at Nordelph on the Saturday night,
and returned hsnao so late, although quite sober, that he
resolved not to go to bid at all, but to sleep in a chair.
Pearce then agreed to accompany witness and Sangster
to the field where witness's brother bad been crow-
keeping. They walked about it for a little time when
they came to a spot near the drain, when Pearce said,
" Dig down here—here's some holes down here." They
accordingly commenced digging, and almost imme-
diately turned up a cap which witness knew land
belonged to his brother. The sods which they dug up
had evidently been recently turned over, as if to hide
the clots of blood with which they were covered.
They found nothing more there, and were going away,
when witness saw! something
,to excae his sus-
picion, a few yards distant, tear the drain. Witness
said, " Let's dig beret" but Pearce replied, " Oh, no;
there's nothing there; it's only where the boys have
been digging for amusement." Witness, however, in-
sisted upon digging, and the spade almost immediately
struck upon sousetbieg which proved to be the body of
his missing brother. The brains were blown out, evi-
dently by the a xplosion of a gun. The body was buried
about a toot deep, and about. twenty yards from the spot
where the cap had been found, and where he had no
doubt first fallen. The cap and loose sods above it were
partially burets, and would probably have been entirely
consumed but for the dampness of tne turf. Witness
afterwards went to the village fur a cart to convey home
his brother's remains, and subsequently gave informa-
tion to the police.

Sangster con oboratecl the above evidence, as did also
Chat-hal Pearce, brother of tne accused boy James
Pearce, with regard to the finding of tee body. Beyond
that witness knew nothit g personally or tee transaction.
The lather, mother, and sister of the accused, were
severally examined, but utterly denied all knowledge of
Day's death until alter the discovery of his body.
William Pearce, ten years old, and brother of the en-
cused, gave more important testimony. He stated that
he went to bed with his brother James Pearce on
Saturday night as usual, when his brother told him that
be had shot Billy Day. They were sitting in the field
by the fire (whicu boys are accustomed to keep up while
mils-bearing) when they quenched, and Day struck
him a violent blow over the eye (which was blackened
and bruised when he wee taken jute custody); that he
then took up the gun and blew Day's brains out. Day
did not die directly, but lay upon the ground bleeding
test. My brother (o,,ntinued the witness) said, -" I did
not know what to du with him. I fitted him up, and
held him sitting on the ground, and I spoke to him, but
he could not speak to me. Attr, a few minutes I sew he
was dead, end I due a hole in the drain, and buried him;
and alter covering due
up, I jumped on him, and j•ina-
med him down. I did nut like to see the blood on the
sods where he fell, and so I put ;that all together, with
his cap, and tried to burn teem."
William Goullett, a little boy eight years of age, who
h:id been at first taken into custody on suspicion of having
been concerned in helping to bury the body, gave evidence
in a most satisfactory manner to the fullowieg effect :
On Saturday afternoon be was at work in a field adjoin-
ing that in which deceased, and-the accused boy, Pearce,
were playing over a fire. Did not go to play with them
himself, because his master had threatened to flag him it
he did not gather up the chickweed. They were both
standing up when witness saw them shortly before a
gun went off. Witness looked round. He saw the
smoke of the gun, and Pearce still standing on the same
spot, but could not see Day. There was a little batik
between them, which would prevent him seeing any one
lying on the ground. Witness was about 200 yards
from the spot where the deceived had made his fire, and
where he was killed. It was about half-past five o'clock,
when the gun went off, which witness supposed to have
been fired to frighten the crows. . For some time after•
wards saw Pearce walking and wandering about, but did
not suppose anything was wrong. Knew nothing about
Day's death until Sunday morning.
It was stated by an officer of the Norfolk constabu-
lary force that he had the boy, James Pearce, in his
custody at the police-Station at Downing-market, upon
tee charge of having murdered the deceased, William
Day. On the previous day the constable went to Out-
well, and on his return to Downham the prisoner asked
him if he had teen his father, and. mother, to which a
reply was made in the affirmative. The fprisoner after-
wards said, " Have you seen peter Billy Day ?" The
constable again replied in the affirmative, when the pri-
soner replied, "Poor little fellow, I have told a gond
many lies about it, but I will tell you the truth. I did
not shoot limo; but I helped to bury him by the drain
side." Afterwerde he admitted that he did shoot Day,
who had at first got up, as they were sitting by the fire,
and lit him in the eye.
Other witnesses having been examined, and a medical
gentleman having deposed to the fact that the death of
the deceased had been caused by the passage of wadding
from a gun through the brain.
The CORONER summed up, pointing out the distinc-
tion between an act of manslaughter and one of wilful
U rcLr.

The jury requested that the room might be cleared,
which was accordingly done, end after cont,ultiug some
time they returued a verdict of " lilsuslaughter against
James Pest ce."

The CORONER expressed some surprise at the verdict,
which he contended ought clearly to have been one of
" Wilful Murder," and for which offence, notwithstand-
ing, the verdict just returned, the buy Pearce would, no
doubt, have to take hie trial.

Pearce was not productA before the jury, the police
holding him in custody for examinmtion before the ruagis"
trews of the district. _ . .

Subacqut-nt to the conclusion of the inquest the sister
Of the boy Pearce, who in her examination had denied
all knowledge of she murder until after the discovery of
the body, is said to have admitted to a neighbour that
the whule family knew of the event as early us six o'clock
on Saturday night, or within half an hour of its occur-
recee, as her brother went, home at this; time and said
he had shot Bill llsy.
