Mlr. Barrel told the *vitness that he saw the deceased in the act of shoving a craft on to the ways, and from the hitcher slip- ping, be fell into the river,and before any assistance could he rendered the deceased was drawn under the craft from which he had fallen. The witness gave directions instantly for drags to be used, and in about three hours after the body was picked up; it was then, at the suggestion of a person standing by, deposited in some heated dung for a considerable time. Twvo mredical gentlemen attended, who in- stantly pronounced the vital spark had fled. The witness passed the highest encomiunas on the conduct of the deceased, and said it was his intention to have settled him in business with an amiable young female, to whom he was to have been married in about three weeks, and who, he regretted to state, was inconsolable at the sad catashrophe. The Coroner observed to the jury, that in his opinion there could be no doubt but the unfortunate event had been quite accidental and thejury, without hesitation, returned a verdict accordingly.
