A Breakwater Needed at Red Point Mr. Brown, C. E.,. of the Pubdlic
Works Department, was engaged last week in makiog a careful and thorough survey of the coast, in the vicinity of Red Point, Lot 46, with the view of havivg a breakwater constructed there. Tue EXAMINER has.on several occasions, directed attention to the desirability of having this proposed breakwater built. There is no part of the country more destitute of harbor accommodation than are Red Point, West River and adjoin- ing settlements. The road between Souris and East Point is an extremely hilly one, and the former place being the only port where farmers in that section of the country can ship their produce, breakwater at Red Point would prove of immense advantage to them. It would also prove of incalculable value to those engaged in the fisheries. this much-needed public work wil! be un dertaken &t as early date as poesible. We have, of course,no means of know- ing the Engineer’s opinion as to the work in questiov, but, until convinced to the contrary, we shall hold to the opinion that it is practicable, and ought to be undertaken and completed.

—Justice Bradley, of the United States Supreme Court, has just given a decision that, if finally sustained, wiil strike a deaih blow at a system that still maintains tains a hold in some of the districts of the country, and has been productive of much loss and annoyance to the work people whom necessity forces to submit to it. Among the glass manufacturers abou! Trenton, N. J., it has been the custom to pay the employes with shioplasters, redeemable only at the stores of the where goods were sold to the victims of the system at a heavily advanced price. Some time since Con- gress passed an act Jevyivg an avnual tax
bosses,
of ten per cent. on the whole amount of |
such votes put in circulation. Warwick & Co. were prosecuted under the act for the tax ou $67,000 of the shipmasters, and set up in defence that they had only issued $400, which had passed and re passed through their hands mavy times, and that they should only be called on to pay $40, instead of the $7,600 sued for. The jery in the first court found for ihe de fendants, but the verdict has now been set aside, and judgment entered for the larger sum, and as it would be more profitable to pay the men in legal ten- ders than with the “‘plasters” subject to such a tax, there seems a probability that the workmen may now get their wages without submitting to what can only be classed as a swindle.

— An Irish Baronet, Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde, grandson of the great Henry Grattan, has given his
adhesion to the Nationalist cause in Ireland— has, indeed, become one of the leaders of the Nationalists. He was
chosen by the Parnell Convention, held last week, as a candidate for the repre- sentation of Dublia, with Mr. Clancy, one of the editors of the Nation. Sir Thomas is a landlord and an aristocrat by birth, and there appears to have been some trouble in prevailing upon the Con- vention to accept such a man as the can- didate of the Nationalist party. But the speech which he delivered when his can- didature was made public made a most favorable impression on the electors.

—M. Grevy has announced his in- tention of becoming a candidate for re- election to the Presidency of the French Republic, and, it may be judged, with fair prospects of success. In the dearth of great meu at present actively engaged in French politics, no other name is likely to appeal to the country with force sufficient to replace that of the present chief of the Republic, whose ad- ministration has been marked by wise conservatism and a careful avoidance of any interferenve with the rights of the other branches of the legislature, though when occasion called for it he has not failed to exercise his ivfluence for the good of the State.
— We counted, says the Montreal Witness, the death-rate of our French population during three months at twelve thousand five hundred per million, against an average of two hundred and thirty-one per million per year in Eng- land. It should be noticed, as some have failed to do, that this is putting the last three months against a year. To make an equal comparisou our small-pox death rate has been fifiy thousand per million against two hundred and thir'y-ove per million, the average of a fairly vacciva- ted country, that is, two hundred and
seventeen times as many. >

The Fitzpatrick Murder,
THE INQUEST RESUMED IN THE CITY.
Testimony of the Doctors.
WITNESSES WHO HEARD THE FATAL SHOT.
The Inquest Adjourved.
eee
LAS?’ evening, at seven o'clock, the in- quest was resumed in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court Reom. Hon. W. W. Sullivan, Attorney General, attended on behalf of the Crown, and L. H. Davies, Esq , Q C, on behalf of the boys, Beales and Smith. The evidence of the first two witnesses was taken inthe evening at the scene of the murder, and the evidence of those following was taken in the Court Room :—
Maria Firzrarrick (sworn)—I am the mother of the deceased, Joseph Fitzpatrick. I was in town on Friday last. I came home about seven o'clock in the evening, and found the boy in bed. He undressed him- self and got into bed without any help, so he told me. He said he was going out for the cow, and that two fellows in a cart met him; that one of them said he was going to shoot him; that he put something on the gun and fired at him. He said he did not tall. Bie said he cried out, but that the fellows in the cart drove on and laughed at
him. He said he did not know them. Then he told me of the man and woman |}coming along in a wagon, and that the
woman asked him, ‘* Are you shot, sonny?” and he said *‘ Yes.’ Le said they did not stop. I asked him if he knew who the man end woman were. He said he did not, The boy’s father went for the doctor. The cldest boy at home was only between six and seven. Heand the other small chil- dren were in the house when Joseph was
shot. He told me as above as soon as I came home. He appeared quite sensible. He repeated the same statement to his father on Saturday morning. He appeared
quite sensible until about noon on Satur- day. He said the parties who fired at him
had a big brown horse. When Mr. Beales came he told him it was not his son, he thought, who shoi him. He said Beales bey end he used to ba sometimes together. The boy (the deceased) said he thought the men wore grey clothes. He said he thonght they were grown-up young men, apparently of the same age of his own eldest brother, but not quite so big. He did not say what kind of a cart they were in. He eail they were walking the herse when they fired at him, that they then drove off. It was after twelve o'cleck on Saturday Mr. Beales called to see him. | There was a gentleman with Mr. Beales | who i did not know. The boy tock a turn about twelve o'clock on Saturday night. |
He then began to raveand fancy he saw things, but when one spoke to him he ap- pearea sensible. He appeared to talk sensible to Mr. Beales. When the men went in at first I went out. Mr. Beales’ companion went in first and talked with the bey alone.
After the man came out then Mr. Beales went into him. I do not remember whether the other man came out ernot. I do not think he did. Mr. Beales asked Joseph if it was his son who shot him, and he said he did not know. He asked him do youkaow my son. He
said yes. Then he asked him a second time. He said he did not think so. He said it
was along gun the boy used when he fired at him. He said they were big boys in the cart.
Mrs. Exizaperu Suir (sworn)—I live at the North River, across the creek. I was coming out of town on Friday evening about twenty minutes past four. Two young boys, about fifteen or sixteen years of age, passed me in an express wagon about Mr. Warburten’s gate, coming from town, alsoa man and woman in a wagon bebind the express wagon, also one or two more. There were two men ina cart. I do notremember which passed me first, the man and woman or two men in the cart,
There I
were other parties passed me. rested two or three times on the road be- tween Mr. Warburton’s gate and Mr. Fiizpatrick’s. I had a basket and a can to carry. When I came to Fitzpatrick’s I saw two children taking in wood. I did not know what had happened. I heard a
when IT was near Mr. Holman’s Road. The sound came in the direction of Mr. Holman’s house. That was about dusk, about 5 o’clock, Tae same boys that passed me at Mr. Warburton’s gate passed me again toward’s Ball’s Hill. I think they had dark clothes on, and round felt hats. They hed a dark, nearly black horse. FT do not know whetherI would know the boys again. I left town about 40’clock. I would have been about twenty minutes at Warbur‘on’s gate. When | heard the shot fired at Holman’s Road I saw the boys drive down towards the bridge. That was the only shot I heard fired, and that was up on MHolman’s Road. It was soon after I heard the shot that I saw the boys. I do not know how far I walked when I saw them When I sawthe boys 1 was about the length of one tele- graph pole from she end of the road. When the shot was fired I did not observe the two men in the cart closely, nor the kind of horse they had, nor how they were dressed. I cannot say whether they had beards or not. They were walking the horse. The time I heard the shot fired the boys were not in the direction of Fitzpatrick’s. They were not driving fast,
Dr. 8. R. Jenkins (sworn).—I performed a post mortem examination on the deceased. The body was much discolored about the neck, and the abdomen was greatly dis- tended. Two gunshots were in his body— one in the region of the chest, left side, between the nipple and medium line ; the other in the left side, between the last two ribs and the hip bone. After opening the chest, the upper wound wes found te con- tinue inwards from left to right, between The shot was the breast bone, about its It had not penetrated the chest

wall, and was not therefore the cause of |
In opening the wound we found a portion of it adhering to the outer walls of the in- testines. There was a large quantity of fluid matter in the cavity. The course of the shot was traced to the small intestines, causing inflammation. The shot which entered the abdominal cavity was the cause of death. The shot was not found, It did not go through more than one loop of the intestines, which we could tind. The shot lodged somewhere in the abdominal cavity, near the posterior bowels. 1 was called to see the deceased on Friday evening, at eight o'clock. I found the boy suffering a great deal of pain. He had a very rapid pulse and had been vemitirg He was quite consciovs but very weak, apparently recovering from the shock. Lo questioning him as to where he was and how the shooting was done, he said he was going after the cow. He saw two young men ina cart. They said they would shoot him. After going some dis- tance, he said one of them fired, after put- ting something in the gun which he took cut’ of his pocket. IL asked him hew far off he was, and he said as far as he could throw a stone. After he was shot, he said,a man and woman passed in a wagon. The woman asked if he was shot. He replied he was. He did not say any- thing about the horse then. I probed the wounds and did all I could to revive him. Next day I saw him about noon. His temperature was 102 deg., and he had a rapid pulse. He complained of a great deal of pain over his abdomen, which was somewhat swollen and effusive. I gave him opium for the pain. I saw him again in the evening with Dr. Conroy. He was His extremities were cold.
then pulseless. He was able to answer some ques- tions, I could not gay _ rationally.
He said then it was a big brown horse the men drove. At the second visit at noon on Saturday, he was suffering great pain, and he offered no information. He seemed somewhat distressed and delirious. [ did not tell him he was likely to die. At that time he appeared listless and hardly able to realize his condition. On my third and last visit Mr. McQuaid took down a few notes of what be said at the time. While the statement was taken, he would pass at times into a stupor, or become unconscious He would then rally and answer questions with difficulty. In describing, on the pre- vious evening, the team in which the men who shot him drove, he skid they drove in a cart, bunt on the evening he said it was a truck-wagon.
Dr. Conroy (sworn)—I heard Dr. Jenki evidence read. The cause of death was the eficct of the shot received in the abdomen perforating the intestines and causing ivflammation. I heard the questions put to the deceased on my visit. I heard the Beales boys were accused of the shooting, and I thoughi | would ask him if it were they who shot him. I asked Mr. McQuaid to take the answers down. The boy could with difficulty answer my questions. I asked him if he knew who fired

in a cart, and she said if any one knew any- thing about the shooting he did. Young Beales was not at my place that evening, though L heard my boys say he passed to- wards North River Bridge. I only heard one shot. John Connolly said he heard two shots. Robert Cass also said he heard two. I know Mrs. Smith. She did not pass my place that evening. She passed the place where the shot was fired. I heard Donald McKinnon, of West Royalty, say he saw two boys going towards town in a wagon with a gun. They were near Fitzpatrick’s.
Cyrus Matuerr (sworn)—I was with my father and hrothers when I heard the re- port of the gua across the creek, close to Fitzpatrick’s, north of the house. I saw no smoke and heard no cries. I saw the crows turn back on hearing the shot. I dou’t think I made a remark at the time, nor did my brothers, that I remember of. I said I thought it was like the sound of Frank
Beales’ gun, but I was not certain. It was louder than an ordinary report. I did not say it sounded like a breech loader. I have
seen Frank Beales fire out of his gun, It has a sharp sound and loud. I returned to my father’s house about half-past four o'clock, ten or fifteen minutes after I heard the sound of the gun. I saw Frank Beales and another little fellow pass the house. I did not know the other young maa, They were going in the direction of North River. I did not see a gun in the wagon. They had a low express wagon and a black horse. I did not take notice how they were dressed, nor did I notice the kind of hats or caps they had on. I was not speak- ing tothem. They were not in at my
fathers. When they passed it was half an hour after I heard _ the shot. They were not driving very fast. I did not hear them talking. [ did not see two men in a cart pass. My aunt
aod George, her son, came along in a wagon before Frank Beales. I heard one shot fired. I did not see the boys again that evenivg; I saw Frank Beales out there often. He takes a black horse with him. Several carriages passed that even- ing towards North River, but I did not recognize the people who were in them. Mrs. Rodd came to our house five or ten minutes before Beales passed. George Rodd asked me who was shooting down at the creek. I told him I did not know. He did not say where he was when the shot was fired. [was looking through the win- dow when Beales passed the road towards North River.
Joun Connoiiy (sworp)—I was within iaiking distance of Mr. Mallett when I heard the report of the gun. The shot was hred to the north of Fiizpatrick’s house ; 1 did not bear a second report. I heard but one. I heard the cries of the child after the shot was fired; I saw nvbody. The bush wag between me and where the shot was fired. I did not hear the boy was shot until that night. It was a loud report— the heaviest I ever heard from a gun.
Joun N. Campsext, buicher (sworn )— [ was on the Lower Malpequs Road on Friday afternoon, I was coming towards
|a wagon they drove in. He said first it a cart and then, correcting himself, | said it was a truck-wagon, I asked him if jhe thought it was Beales boys. He said no. I asked if they fired one or two shots. | He said one. I asked him if he had been ‘firing stones at them. He said no. I asked bim what they said to him. He said nothing, only to get out of the road or they would shoot him. I asked himif any one saw them firing at him. He said & man and woman were passing in a wagon. The woman asked him if the bullet went through him. He said,it did. While I was asking these questions he would doze away for a few minutes and wake up quite bright. I gave him an orange and he sucked it down greedily. He threw a pieces of it across the room, and then commenced to laugh. I asked him again if it were Beales’ boys who shot him and he said no. I think I understood he knew Beales’ boys.
Joun Matuert (swern)—I live thirty or forty chains across from Fitzpatrick’s place in adirect line. I was in the back field cn the evening of Friday last. I was twenty-three or twenty-four chains from Fitzpatrick’s when I heard the shot. It was then something about half-past four o'clock. I looked up and did not see any one on the road. People might have been on the road and I could not see them, as there are bushes along the road. I[ did not hear the rattle of a cart. When I heard the shot I heard no ery, and I wondered who was shooting at that place. The shot apparently was, as near as I could judge, within a chain or achain and a half north of Fitz patrick’s house, not within twenty or thirty chains of the cross read. I looked but I saw nosmeke, There was quite a flock of crows going from my direction, and when the shot was fired they turned towards me. My three boys were with me. One of them remarked that isa certain man’s rifle, I think he said it was young Beales, I think it was Cyrus said so, but I am not positive. A few minutes after that we went home. I went into the house in about thirty minutes after that. About an hour after- wards I was called to see the hoy. T went down, and when I saw him I ask d what was the matter. He did net tell me who He showed me the wounds. | asked him if he knew who shot him. He said no. Lasked him if there were one or

him if they had any whiskers. He said ne, { asked him if he would know them again if he saw them. He said he thought he would. I asked him where he was going. He said along the road for the cow. I asked him if he gave any cause for their shooting. He said he did not. He said they were going from town and had passed before they fired. When they passed they said [ will shoot you. I asked him another question, and he said: ‘*O, it hurt’s me to speak.” Just then, Dr. Jenkins came in, dressed the wounds and asked how far he was off when the shot was fired. He said about as far off as he could throw a stone. I asked him if he koew me,and he said he did. Before I went down to Fitzpatrick’s I saw several carriages passing. Jast as I got home after

Daniel Davies, I met Mrs. William Rodd and her son, also Miss McEachern, from West River. She was driving in acarriage. I met two boys in a wagon ; I did not know them. If they had a gun they had it covered. J remember seeing something between them lying slant- ing in the wagon. It was covered with a greyish covering. The horse they drove was black. They had a light express wagon, They were young men. I took no notice of their dress. I think I met several carts and wagons. I could not say par ticularly who were in them. I cannot say I met any with twomenin them. Coming into town a young boy jumped on our wagon with a gun. I asked him if the gun was loaded. He said it was, but there was no cap on it. That boy came with us towards town. I think I would know one of the boys in the wagon if I saw him again. I asked the young man who was with me if they were Joseph Mahar’s men. He said no. Ove cf them was young Beales—James Beales’ son. I did not find out the name of the young man who got into my wagon.
Simon Davigzs (sworn)—I was at North River on Friday evening. I cailed at Mr. Mallett’s coming in. While there the girl reported a little boy of Fitzpatrick’s was shot. I went over with Mr. Mallett. I don’t remember the conversation the boy had with Mr. Mallett. Uasked the boy if he knew the parties whoshot him. He said he saw them but did not know them. I asked him if ho was suffering great pain. He said he was. I heard several shots fired during the evening. They were in an easterly direction and faint. I was then at Poplar Island waiting for wild geese. Two young men drove from the east towards North River. When they got half way across the bridge one got out and fired a rifle shot up river to rise the geese.
The inqvest adjourned at 11 o’clock until
this evening at 7, when a large number of witnesses will be examined.
