dag evening, Coroner James went up to the
R, /. junction to hold an inquest upon the
body At Mary Powers, a married woman who
had suddenly died after i long protractcd de-
bauch. 1t was with the utmost difficulty that
the Coroner could find sufficient sober men to
constitute jury of inquest, and he was COM
pelled to stop several farmers and others COM
ing to the city for the purpose. When this
difficulty had been surmounted, the witnesses
knowing anything of the circumstances
attending the deceasc Of a1rs. Powers, were In
such d state Of drunken stupedcation aud lu-
cohcrency that nothing sensible touching the
case could bo learned. Ds. Gore was com.
PEELED to make post mortem examination OF
the body, and several old bruises and wounds
were discovered and still fresh ono On the
head. Upon opening the craulum 1t was mp.
parent that death had been supcryencd from
too much whisky.
