Coroner Young yesterday at the City Hall, in
vestipated the case of Mr.. John Donnely, the car
man who fatally injured on the Goth Of January
last by falling through the hatchway Of premises
22s william street, as previously reported. Within
the last ten or twelve years several persons have
fallen through the same hatchway, and there Is
now lying on sick bed In this city and beyond the
hope OF recovery young woman who fell through
the hatchway only few weeks ago. The evidence
adduced before the Coroner and the jury went to
show most conclusvely that persons unacquainted
with the building in passing the hatchway
were liable TO fall in, II by chance the doors
should have been left open. MIR. Edward o. Jen-
kns and Messrs Durham Russell occupy most or
the premises, but the occupants OF the first moor
did not appear In evidence.
After listening attentivey to the testimony the
Jury rendered the following
VERDICT:
THAT John DOnnelly came to his death from in
juries received on the 10th day OF January 1879 by
falling through the hatchway OF premises 223
William street, jointly occupied by Messrs. Dun
ham Russell, Edward o. jenkins and other
parties to us unknown. And we censnre the par
ties named and also Peter y. Hoe, owner OF the
building, for allowing the building to remain in an
unsafe condition.
1t is stated that the relatives of Mr.. Donneliy
have commenced civil action fer damages against
some Of the occupants Of the premisea
