Young gentleman well known and respected il

the hotel. He was followed by soldier called
Dennis O'HallOran. Courtney was in company
with a young nan. Patrick Brown by name
O'Halioran. because Courtney refused 20 treat

tiers at the Union Depot and reported that he had

covered the next morning and the Coroner re-
turued n verdict in accordance with the above
facts
We learn that the lady Mr. Courtney, the

We must say, in view of all the facts detailed
above that more discipline and more vigilance
ought to be exercised by those in command,
with regard to the unlicensed authority to take
the lives Of citizens upon any or all occasions or
pretexts.
We do not wish TO be understood as bringing
charges in this respect with regardto our military
officers. nor even with regard to soldiers who
may be out of camp without permission; but we
wish to call the attention Of those both in civil
and military authority TO the fact that the life of
a valuable citizen. above recorded, has been
wantonly sacrificed And the murderOus deed
should be fixed upon the man who did il. and he
should suffer the penalty.
