MANSLAUGHTER IN HACR.VEY.

An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys
Middlesex Coroner, at the Doke of York Tavern,
road, Hornerton, last night, respecting the death of Franda
Johnston, aged 43 years.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased bad had
a scuffle or fight with a brickla)er named Unborn, when
at work on the 24th ult.

Mr. F. Daly, surgeon, was called in to the deceased on
Friday week, and found him then insensible, and with La
eye and the orbit much injured. The next morning he
became cooscioue, and he then said that a brick had fallen
upon him. Witness did not believe the story at the time.
Deceased thee became so delirious that it was up:rusty to
tie him down in the bed. He died on Tuesday night. The
post-mortem examination showed that not only the orbit of
the eye but the base of the skull bad been fractured by a
tremendous blow. A fall cou!,l not have inflicted such an
injury, nor could a brick have Zone it.
George Osborn was then cautiooed, and on being asked
what be bad to say, burst into tears. Ile said—lt u hand
for au Englishman to be hit twice and then not to stand on
his defence. I hope you will take that into consideration.
The Coroner, in summing up, said that Osborn's defence
would of coarse avail him in mitigation of punishlenufs
het when a man retaliates he must be held responsible for
all the consequences resulting from his retaliation.
The jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against
George Osborn for killing end slaying Francis Johnston...
