RESPONSIBILITY OF ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, AND
OWNERS OF 11•118 E PROPERTY.--The responsibility of those
who design without knowledge, and build without care, has
been made obvious in Ireland, to those who needed practical
illustration, by the verdict of the coroner's jury, touching the
death of sixteen individuals, unfortunately caused by the
fall of a mill at Beers' Bridge, Belfast, on the 10th of January
last. The jury were "of opinion that the falling of the said
mill was catised by its having been hastily and improperly
built, both with regard to the material used, and the manner
of its erection; and that Robert Boyd and John Blagee (the
owner and the contractor) are wilfully and feloniously g".!';,
of the improvr construction and erection of thel
