a CONSIDERABLE VERDICT The coroner's in
quest into the deaths caused by the fire Of the
military, in Montreal, during the Gavazl riot
have returned verdict in which they disclaim
intending any reproaeh upon the military, but
recommend that in the next riot where their
services may be needed that the interval be-
tween the order to fire and the discharge Of
guns shall be-" long enough to allow all persons
exposed to the fire TO get safely out Of reach -
This is very eonsiderate and humane on the
part Of the inquest; but if the troops are not to
fire till every body gets safely out of the way.
