Capt. R. LAWSON was lately run over and killed in Miramichi. At an inquest held by M. Cranney, Esq. the following strange verdict was returned - The Jury find that the deceased Capt. Robert LAWSON came to his death accidentally; but at the same time they cannot refrain from expressing their strong reprobation of the general practice of Fast Driving by Alexander FRASER and others through the streets of Chatham (North. Co.) (signed) G.A. BLAIR, Foreman. The 'Colonial Times' says - It appears that Capt. L. was in the act of passing across Water St. between E. LETSON's and Dr. PALLAN's Drug Store, when Alexander FRASER's wagon turned the corner suddenly and before Mr. E. could rein up his horse, the captain fell and the wagon passed over him. The Capt. died this morn." (see original)
