Reader and Brennan, aud warrants issued for their arrest. The grounds on which it is sought to upset the inquiry are that Coroner R. Rice was partial, also that certain of the jurors were biassed, it having been shown that they were ! actively engaged m the rict m which the three victims upon whom the inquest was held were killed, and that, therefore, the inquiry was not a legal one.
