The Coroner charged the jury, who after a few minutes’ delibera- tion rendered ‘a verdict that “William Lawrence came to his death, on the night of the 15th of July, from the-effects of wounds inflicted by @ blunt in- strument in the hands of some person or persoas ‘unknown to the jury.” No person is now under ar- rest, and itis probable that the murderer of Law- Tence will never be discovered.
