MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, he had that day seen the copy of the depositions taken at the inquest, and he should be glad to show them to the hon. and learned Member if he desired it. The coroner reported that the jury were unanimous, and that he agreed with them in their finding. He (Mr. Cross) had no reason to suppose that the coroner had conducted the inquiry in an improper manner.
