Moncton, April 8.

Constable Farrell, who was shot by Bas- tian at Painsac on Friday, died at his home in Shediac on Saturday morning. An in- quest was held, and a verdict returned that death resulted froma pistol shot fired by Bastian. There is intense feeling in all parts of the county against the Scott Act prosecutors in Shediac, and the prosecuting lawyer, who had gone into Bastian’s house shortly after the shooting, was denounced by widow Bastian asa murderer and or- dered from the house. There is talk of re-opening enquiry. Many serious charges are alleged against the Scott Act cutors.
