The names of the sufferers are Mr. James

Mr. Wraith was a very respectable man, and bad formerly
been for many years a steward under Samuel Brook, 51.!);
by whom he was much and deservedly esteemed; but
sonic years he has been living on a little property of his Ora;
and he occupied his time by cultivating about cm acres

afterwards his mangled remains, along with those of his WO!

presenting a sight too horrible to depict.
An Irishman of the name of M`Cabe, who had been takes
into custody by the police, was brought before the coroner'
t°
and informed of the accusation against him. He objected
none of the jury, and appeared perfectly calm.
The evidence of the surgeon will give the best descriptioa
of this horrible affair.
