day afternoon, a small white boy, about eight years old, named James G. Brooks, was shot by William Bohannon, of this city, sometimes employed on guard duty at the Seabrook Hospital. It appears that road street, in rear of the hospital, and getting upon the fence overlooking the hospital yard, Bohannon hallooed to him to get down or he would blow his brains out. Suiting the action to the words, heless corpse, when his brains, in one solid mass, rolled out of his skull upon the ground. Bohannon was not on guard at the time of the occurrence, but was standing by his musket, which he had ju. It is positively against the rules for the guard at the prison to carry loaded guns, and why Bohannon's was charged, remains unexplained. Officer Granger, soon after the deed was committed, pursued and arrested Bohannon, and locked him up in the lower station-house for safekeeping till this morning, when he will be brought before the Mayor to answer the offence. When first arrested he den

Inquest. --A jury of inquest was held on Saturday morning over the body of James J. Brooks, the little fellow who was shot the evening before by William Bohannon. Several witnesses were examined, but nothing new was elicited to add to what has already been published. The verdict rendered by the jury was, that the deceased came to his death from a musket ball which was shot by the said Bohannon. It is stated that at the time Bohannon shot young Brooks he was not more than five steps from him, and that the ball which passed through his skull also perforated the dress of an infant in the arms of its nurse near by. Dr. Gravat, in charge of Se the ball which passed through his skull also perforated the dress of an infant in the arms of its nurse near by. Dr. Gravat, in charge of Seabrook Hospital, desires us to state that Bohannon was employed by him in the capacity of nurse, and that if he was ever placed upon guard it was done without his knowledge or consent.

Mayor's Court, yesterday. --The case of William Bohannon, charged with shooting and killing, on Friday last, a little white boy named James J. Brooks, was sent on to the Hustings Court for examination. Mr. Crane, counsel for the accused, thought he could prove by competent witnesses that his client was mentally deficient, and therefore irresponsible in the eyes of the law for what it was alleged he had done; but the Mayor thought it was too grave a matter to dispose of so hastily, and therefore preferred that the committing court of magistrates should decide upon the case. Daniel Munn and J. R. Blankinship, soldiers, were charged with being very suspicious characters. On Monday night the front windows of the shoe store on the corner of Main and Fourteenth streets, kept by M. C. Gordon &Co., was dashed in, and soon afterwards, when the watchmen reached the spot, they found the accused near by. It was on this account that they were arrested. The Mayor was unable to detect a
