Henry Peters confirmed the evidence of Mr.
Kidd, and said he was passing by the mih-pond
when he saw the hat floating on the water a few
yards from the bridge. He knew it belonged to
the deceased, and gave it to his son, and assisted in
getting the body on land. He could not tell whe-
ther the deceased got in by accident or design.
The CORONER said he did not see what verdict
could be returned but one of found drowned. If
there was any evidence to prove how the deceased
got into the water, or that he threw himself in, then
it would be the duty of the jury to inqiure whit
state of mind he was in; but he understood no one
could speak as to how he got into the pond.
A Juryman said some heavy shots were found in
the deceased's pockets when taken ow of the ~aver.
The witness Kidd tola the jury he took them out
when they were viewing the pond.
A Juror—We had better say nothing about that.
Another Juryman—l don't see what we have to
do with the state of his mind at all, as there is no
evidence to prove that Mr. Cue threw hun.,elf in.
The CORONER said he would examineany members
of the family, or other witnesses the Jury might
think proper to call, and the beadle having stated
that the servant girl was in attendance, she was
called in.'

Jane Dodd stated that she was servant to Mr.
Core, jun., and had been so about five months. The
deceased lived with his son. On Sunday afternoon
he Went out about three o'clock and returned at ten.
Miss Carter, the sister of her mistress, let him in,
but witness saw him afterward. arectly after he
came in he took a light and some cold water, which
he was in the habit of drinking during the night,
and went to bed. He bade her good night as he
went out of the kitchen. She saw no more of him
after that time. On Monday morning, about five
minutes after six o'clock, as she was going down
stairs, she observed that the door of deceased's bed-
room was open, but she took no particular notice of
that, as he was in the habit of rising early. She
thought he was in the yard, or on the wharf by the
side of the river, where he was in the habit of walk-
ing. Between eight and nine o'clock her master
sent her to look for him, and ordered her to tell
him, if she saw him, that breakfast was ready. She
went down to Messrs. Mangles' yard, at the side of
the mill-pond, to look for him, but returned with-
out finding him. Soon afterwards his body was
found.

A Juryman—Did you observe any difference in
the deceased's manner, on Sunday night ? Wit-
'less—No, Sir, I saw no difference in him on
Sunday night; he was as cheerful then as he RI
ways was.

A Juryman—Was he in the habit of going to
bed without his supper ? Witness—He was, Sr.
The CoRONER said there was no evidence io prove
how the deceased was drowned, though the prong
probability was that he drowned himself, and put
the shots in his pockets for the more speedily effect-
ing his purpose. He suggested this verdict—" That
the deceased was found drowned in the mill-pond,
without any marks of violence on his body; but by
what means he got into the water, no evidence ap-
peared to the Jurors."
.The Jury said that verdict met with their ap-
proval; they would ab•tain from calling any of the
family; and the verdict, as suggested by the Coro-
ner, was accordingly signed.
