The Coroner's investigation was continued yoster- dey, in reference to the cause of the calamity in the Coroner in this case, will be read with much in- terest. as if presents some very curious and remark- able tacts in the manners and customs adopted by boss carpenters and sarcne, and in reference to the opinions entertained by them of the safety and caution re- quired in the erection of brick buildings. We see by theevidence that no blame can be attached either to Mec Emmet or Mr. Gientworth—all they had to guide them, was the ju: tof the arehitect and the ex- Perienoe of the builder, But one of the most remark- sble tacts exhibited inthe testimony is the evidence given by the muster masous and carpenters, who, 1: teeme foresaw the danger from day to day, and pre. icted the downfall of the buildings, yet never gave any information to the workmen, of persons in charge of the bufldinge. This appears, certainly, to be avery romarkable feature exhibited oa the part o master builders towards their brother workmen, Any onewould suppone that the ordfoary feelings of hu. anity would prompt a caution in such cases, when | the davger appeared #o decided. Thomas Adcis ¥mmot, being sworn, says—I reside at No, 24 University place. ‘The Coroner then asked Mr. Rmmet to relate to the Jury all the facts within bis knowledge touching the circumstances relating to the calamity which occurred in Twenty-first street, by the falling of the buildings, now unger investigztion. Mr, Emmet then stated that during the lest eum mer. the lute Mr Ferris Pell made an agreement wich Jobn Votout, and wished to purchase six lots of ground in Twenty-first ctreet, but that he had not the money to buy th nd that if T would bay them, and the firet payment, the deed should be im my name. and on the sale ot them, he would divide such profts aa might accrue from them; I agreed to this proposition.
