An inquest was held yesterday afternoon by Coroner Earle on the body of a man picked up in the Falls (St. John). Thos. W. BLIZZARD of Portland identified the body as that of James ROACH of Cape Breton. It appears that he left the house of Mr. BLIZZARD where he had been boarding three weeks past on last Saturday fortnight, stating that he was going to the Straight Shore. He was under the influence of liquor at the time and Mr. BLIZZARD did not see him again.
