IN DOVER-STIZEET, Yesterday evening an Inquisitiob was taken at the Coopers' Arms, Tower-street, Westminster road, before M i r. SneLToN, Coroner for the City of London . , upon the body of William Gregory, a poor man, who for many years sold pies about the streets, and who met his death it, consequence of blows he received from a prostittite in Dover stmet nn Wi'ednesday. Antonia fienzey, an Italian, stated, that about one o'clock on Wednesday he was going through Dover•street, and saw the deceased with four watermen and the woman, who is - better krtn-en by the appellation of blackgUard Jane. She ask ed him fur a pie, which he gave her ; she asked tor a second, which he also gave her • she asked tar a thiLd, v.hich he refused to give, because she owed him Gil. before, which he requested her to pa'y ; she told hini not to mind that, but to give her the pie, at the same time shaking some half pence in her hand, but on his pressing for pay ment, she abused him, and rose from where she was then sitting, and struck him a violent blow with her fist behind the ear, then forced him against the wall, held him up by * the neck, and beat him as hard as site could about the face and .breast. He called out for assistauce, -being able to make any defence. One of the watertnen interfered and liberated him, He_then held up his head, putting his hand to his breast, he ex " Oh, I ant a dead Man," She attempt ed to attack him again, hut was prevented by the Waterman. The deceased then walked trway some distance, but not being able to proceed, he wai ultimately castled home to his lodging, No. 14, Tower -street, where he died in about ten minutes afterward 3. He had not spoken since he was brou g ht home. N. Bennet, 21, 'Beats -street, a pieman, was standing at the door of ::Ar. Shelton hi Dover street, about ten minutes after one o'clock, on Wednesday a fternoim, when he heard a noise and saw the woman called Jane beating 'the deceased in a most shameful manner.. Did riot see the de ceased strike her at all ; he had hig tin on his arm, and a strap round his neck to hold it up.— She held him by the left anti was striking him with the right 'arm. John itose;43, Dover -street, pawnbroker, said, it was half-past one o'clock when hc heard the alarut ; he ran into the street and saw the deceased pinned up egaitst a post opposite 45, by the woman called " infatuvus Jane; her arm was round his neck, and she hitting him with her right fist in the face. He was calling out for assistance. She was so desperate that it was. dillicult to take her off from him. She at .one time gut the better of the wateummt, and said she would give'the old turnips. She would cut his bead ()E— -ine poor man having Kw released walked away. Site was drunk. Did not hear the deceased com plain that he was hurt. Ann Francis, a fish-woman, confirmed the fore going evidence, adding, that she met " infamous Jane" afterwards ; and- she told her- she had wapprd the old and he mould feel it to morrow. She. was intoxicated, and when so was of a very turbulent disposition. Thomas Bookhopper, a hackney coach man, residing in Dover-streer, saw the, woman bcating pin) on the temples, and about the sto reL, but he added nothing fresh. He never heard the woman called by any other name than " Infamous Jane." She was very drank. He heard the deceased say, " Lord have mercy upon me" when he was going away; at the same time holding . hand. to his head. Some person in the room said her name is Jane Farmer. Mr. James Cooke, surgeon, Bridge•road, Lam beth, about three o'clock on Wednesday, saw the deceased at his lodging. He was then quite (lead. He examined the body, and found a considerable blow had been given to him on the frontal bone, below the left orbit ; discovered no external marks of violence on the body, except the head. By the request of the Coroner and Jury be now opened the head ; found upon the membrant .about three ounces of coagulated and extrava sated blood, immediately under the part where the blow bad been inflicted, but the skull was not injured. Cannot immediately say that it would produce his death, but it might. Coroner—Cannot you form any opinion whe ther that. quantity of blood would be the cause of death ? Witness—lt might be productive of death, certainly. The Coroner directed cne of the Churchwar dens to attend, and have the body further exa mined until then the Inquest was adjourned. SUSPICIOUS DEATH. On Wednesday night on Inquisition was held at the King's Arms, _Battersea, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of Emma Turner, a young woman, 18 yea's of are. It appeared from the .evidence adduced, that the deceased was servant to Mr. Simpkins, butcher, in Queen-street, near liattersea-lnidge ; she was of a lively disposition, and was much re speCted in her capacity. About three weeks ago, Richard Massey, journeyman in (he employ of .Mr. Simpkin, accidentally bloke his arm, and was confined to his lied at his, Master's house ; in consequence the deceased attended him. His master, however told him to go home till he recovered, which he did. O Sunday a rim !nour was spread that her mother found him and the deceased in an improper situation at the time she attended him. Mo n d a y mo rn i ng a barge man coming down the river, observed something floating in the water,- and on his going to the spot discovered it was the body of the deceased. On the foregoing day she appeared as usualy cheerful, but many inferences were drawn from the circum stances, that a wedding ring, never seen before, was found upon her finger ; she had the Vey of the street door tied to her waist, and was dressed as the day before; it did not seem from her ap pearance that she had been in bed all night, and' the general opinion was, that she went to see the, young man alluded to after the family went to hed, and either had not met with hint, or other wise not meeting with such reception as she ex pveted, that she drowned herself; for want of evidence to this effect, the Jury, under all the cit.cnnustanees, returned their verdict-,—" Found drowned." CORK COUNTY ASSIZES, AvG. 20. At 10 o'clock the LOUD CHIRP BARON came into Court, when a number of prisoners were put upon their respective trials. The following ccn victions took Place : Timothy Corcoran for killing a sheep, and tak ing away the skin and fat:--The CHIEF BARON said, if the Jury brought in a verdict of guilty against the prisoner, he would be:under the ne cessi►y of passing sentence of death upon him, as Ihe Legislature made this a more heinous offence than the mere stealing a cheep ; tf►e prisoner was found guilty.—William Driscoll, sheep-stealing.— Richard Bernard, mansla ti ; . : 11 ter. FRATRICIDE. Richard Andrews was next put to the bar, charg -ed with the wilful murder of his brother James, Andre=ws. This trial excited a considerable inte rest in the public mind, and the Court was crowd ed 10 excess. Mr. CoscaAvE briefly addressed the Court arid Jury on beltalt of the Clown, and said, he , sVould content liims(ll with merely stating, to them the leading facts in this case, which he understood would be fully substantiated in evidence. He then detailed the circumstances under which the de ceased, James Andrews, met his death, and said,. although the principal witness io case was an approver, yet if his evidence was co, - roborated by other collateral circumstanc..s, the Jury would be bound to find tit. ptisoner The fiist witness called was a man of the name of Ilammersley, who stated, that, on the Ilth of June, he discoveicd Ike body of the deceased on his (witness's) knit ; it was nearly cover,4l with earth, and, upon examining it, be found several 1 cuts •he deceased's head ; and, some divanee fr::rn where the body lay, be found a coat blttni;- ist tre deceased, and a pocket-book, which be carried to the prisoner at the bar (Richard An tirews), but he did not examine the contents of the pocket-hook. Mr. Collis, a surgeon, was next examined. lie saw the. body of the deceased atter it had been discovered, a►id hat) no d,inht but that the wounds inflicted on the deceased's head had been the cause of his death. These two witnesses were not cross-examined. John Clancy, an inforMer; was the next witness produced ; he knew the deceased James Andrews; recollected the 10th of June, when the alleged murder was committed ; it Was on a Thursday ; about 9 or 10 o'cloc,k on that evening met the pri soner at the bar in the town of Kilworth, who took him into a ',oldie house, kept by a cost► of the name of Ignatius Young ; here he and the- priso tier drank some porter, for which the prisoner paid. -On going away, prisoner desired witness to meet him in a short time outside the town, as he wanted to escort his brother James, Who he was afraid would be arrested for debt, to his sister's house; they then parted, and shout 11 o'clock witness accordingly met the prisoner, who was in company with his brother; followed them through a short. cut. or .pathway. leading from the high road ; when they bad proceeded about half a mile from the road, prisoner stopt, took out a piece of iron which, he carried about him, and struck deceased a blow on the head, which imme diatel-y brought him to the ground ; deceased cried out "Murder, Dick !" which were the only words he uttered; prisoner struck deceased two or three other blows on the head, Iyho shortly after ex pired. Witness and prisoner then took the de ceased's body, carried it some distance, and after taking off a snrtout coat be wore, threw it down a sort of cliff, 'and covered it over with earth. Prisoner, after - examining the coat, said he could make nothing out of - it ; they then parted, witness going to hiS cabin, and prisoner in the direction of his own house. Cross-examined by Mr. O'CONNELL—Is an ho nest man, at least considers himself so, arid a re ligions man he hoped—never committed a mur der—was never charged with one—never took a false oath—was not the person who struck de ceased, nor even laid bands on him until alter his death—prisoner never told witness he intended to murder his brother—did not suppose it could en ter the head of one brother to murder another— did not give information until he was taken up — thought the business was already bad enough without making it worse---had some blood on his 'Beeches, only one drop, but enough to convict him—had no doubt it was the blood at the deceased —was only just recovered out of a severe fit of ill ness--after he was arrested, said nothitig on the subject for a day or two ; be ought to have men tioned it before if he had any wit—when he and prisoner went. in to take the porter, prisoner drank three pints, and witness two—never fled the country in the course of his life for any crime, and had no occasion. Nothing further very ma terial came out from the remainder of this wit ness's cr is-examination. Ignatius Young, publican in the town of Kil worth, was next sworn ; knowS the prisoner at Bar, knew his brother James, remembers the 10th of June ; on that evening' prisoner and the list witness, Clancy, came to his house; where they drank some porter, for which prisoner paid, they went away together.—After the murder was com mitted, heard Mr. Collis say, be would have all the publicans in the town examined,' to find out it there were any - suspicious characters drinking in their houses on the night in questiOn.- On his cross-examination by Mr. LlonsoN, wit ness said, when the prisoner at the bar and Clancy first called at his house, prisoner observed, that Clancy told him Mr..Yonng was unwell, and, io consequence of that intelligence, he merely came to see how he was ; but finding him quite well, he told Clancy be was a liar, for giving him such false information—however, afterwards, prisoner and Clancy appeared to be good friends, and went into his house, where they drank the porter. When prisoner came to the witness, in a day or two after the murder was committed, he request ed witness not to mention that Clancy had 'been drinking in his company—witness at the time sup posed prisoner said this merely as he did not like to have it known he was in company with a man so much beneath him in life. The next witness was a boy, who, on the night in question, saw priiciner passing through the town' or Kilworth, with something like a piece of iron half-concealzd its ,his haucki and afterwards saw., ' prisoner and deceased walking throug h - t h e I°° on the way towards Mitchelstown. in 110 Robert Bible sworn ; lives near lii sl " re, a d ill County Watetford ; knows pr isoner ; o isoo cs Tuesday after the murder was committed, P. 1g i l l ro l came to witness's house, and on eli ter „ ll ,,eat i, room, caught witness's hand, which be s l a g , in such a manner as almost to break its " t hial Prisoner asked witness if he had heard 811 7 / ; 0( 10 from Kilwmtb, to which witness answered 5 he in g he alluded to the Coroner's inqueso 11 ,, f il llf had been told , all about it ; that it l ' 1 7 0 0r• proved before the Coroner that prisoner 1'a1,../0 to tiered his brother ; an d w hat could iuduce °lied, commit such an act, to which risover reP the Devil and drinking " .. k nitted On his cross-examination, this witness a d mitted that prisoner, on comin g to his I owe , OP vc d deranged, and, from his - manner, 1:1. , .. 0 . 1 c; ,) e , his senses ; he had known him for a,10"4 c ooly John Courtenay, E,q.. a Magisn are of the riot ty of ‘Vaterford, w a s n ex t called he o w°lr ', 0 1 he arrested prisoner in the last witness's 111 ' 115 , ffi the Tuesday after the murd e r, that be foui“.le'iti, sorter in bed, who dressed himself ve r y (1 : ‘ , 11 and had no appearanc e a b out him of insO n ' t/ ;ever On his cross•examination, he said he 4 50a spoke to priso n er before that day, might 1 ". - ) , 0 him once or twice, but could n 0 t be os w ," e ,3,4 judge of his . previotts state of mind as ,- witness, who ha-! known him ver' well. 0 4 Cooke Collis, Eq. a Niagittt ate of this Cil" „J. slvorn; attended the Cor on er's 11 - ines' ; Liddl o sorter at the Bar was not present, tote b ad .i ii- o f ig country before it, and could not to heart - the time. , lle tl Mr. Mathias Tlendley, an Att o rney ilex' ci p r . and sworn :—Prisoner a•:mirted, in . tic''' 6s.6 :fet sence, that he had committed the !airlift 11 .'" i it, in question, and th at (listless Was the coo t ; i t) die Is prisoner, on settling some accinint 9 ",.. f i e l f a Ileceased in witness's presence, VI AS 13 ( ''' l bhg deCOaStd in a sum of 501.; the whuk of wh ic. ,%; said he was unable to pay—On being crois—he amined, he said, be had heard ptisoner 9 ' i / had paid it ali except about 305.. or 31.
