A Coroner's jury has ever since been hear ing evidence in the case, and have at length found the following verdict : ¢ That tle deceased came to a violent death, malici- ously and feloniously, by drowning mn the River De Leiver, near the Buckingham Mille, between the two falls, on or about the 10th or 12th of Apnl last; that 'her brother, and Rev.
