NISI:11100 DEATH.

An inquest was held at Dodridge's Richmond
Walk Inn, Deronport, on Friday, before A. B. Bone, Esq.,
on the body of • yonng man named Jaime Weigh', which
had been found floating In Stensehoune Creek, on Ttianday
morning. The fleet witness called was
Booms Henry Ticket!, a lad residing In Stoneham's, who
deposed to having found the body of deceased floating in
Eitonehauee Creek, at about eight o'clock on Thursday morn-
ing. He dragged it on the mud by the waistcoat. He then
left it to get a policeman, and on his return found that the
body bad bees lifted upon the umber, clogs by. Several
persons were then gathered around, and within a quarter of
an hour pollee cian.totils Davey (who had rewired informa-
tion of the dipcovery from Hick., a Stonehouse policeman)
came down. A rope was put round the corpse, and it was then
towed to the Richmond Walk Inn. . .

John Davey, police-constable. Nutted that having received
some informatics on the previous morning, be wait to the
Parsonage-field, and at the bottom of the field he saw the
body of a man lying on some timbers, which were resting an
the mud 001110 distance shoe. the bridge. The body was
clothed In a pair of black cloth trousers wellington
dark waistcoat, sad a white shirt ;tad wockings. On
marching the pockets be found two halfpesce, a small iron
clomp, a brace buckle, come pieces of paw. and a comb. He
also produced a cloth cap, which had been given to him by
a boy named Roberta.
Joseph Wright, brother of the &aimed, said that
he was a straw-bat maker. residing at 34, King-
_. . the bode

street, Nyman& Had looked meta, at cedy
forand by Ticker', and knew It to be the body of
Ids bite brother, James Wright, who hod beta his sags-
taut, and had lived with him. Deadened was a little more
than twenty-four years of air The lost time he saw him
sties wee on the previous Friday night. They were in a
public-hones is Fore-street„ Stomehouve, where they drank.
He could not tell what happened In the holm, not being
sober at the time he entered It. Did not think hie brother
wee (weber either, and dad not recollect going into the house.
Bone one, whom he could not soy, hurt hie arm whilst
there, and that wee all he could recollect of what took platy
In the bones. When he got out of the house some marines
knocked him down. Hi, remembered seeing his brother by
the side of him then. The man who knocked him down was
coming to him again; witness ran away from him, and fell
down very heavoy. He got up again and went on some-
where, and found himself In the water. How he got into
the water or how he got out he could not till. The neat
thiug he remembered was bring at bane in bed.
Samuel Roberts, a lad residing In High-etree t, Statehouse,
deposed that on the night of the 30th ult., at about half-past
10, he end his brother were renting down Fore-street, Stone-
house, and heard an awful *cults with some men in a public-
house—Mr. Lettey's house, the Depend Havelock. He
copped and saw a men outside the door—a tall marine wee
standing oppoalte to hint. All at ono, out ran ism her man
with hie coat under hie left arm; and the till marine ran
after him. He raw them run to Stonehouse Bridge, the
marine punching the man moat shamefully. They went
down by the bridge to the water, the marine beating the
other on. Witness stood by the bridge, bete, timid to go
do wn.The re wee no light in the plumage to the water, and be did
nut see what happened there: nor the water. Dereineen's bro-
ther then came down, end eteod by Stenehonse Bridge gate.
The marine came up from the passage by himself, and
said to Wright, in a roach tone, "Who are you?' Wright
replied, " Whu are you?" The marine then met upon him
right end lett, and punched him down the peeve also.
Witoese followed a little way, end found a cap dice that pro-
duced by Davey, to whom be had delivered it. [Joseph
Wright was then called, end identified the cap as his pro-
perty.] A little merino then came down, and said, " Where's
my chum ?" Witnees replied, " He's down there, knocking
the ram In the water." The marine answered. " I wasn't
see that," and went down the parer ale.. Witness then
saw Mr. Bridgman, landlord of the Bridge Inn, come out of
Ida house with a lenient, with which he went down the per
page; some other men also went down. Almost directly
they all rushed up again. The tall marine came up, and the
Hale marine alma Game op with deceeerd's brother, who wee
wet, and whom the lane marine would not allow anyone to
touch. The man who was fret driven down the prongs did
not come up again. The tall marine had no jacket or belt
on. et d neither of them had their mido arms.

Thomas Lem,n, private, It M., recoilscted being in •

public. hones in Fore-street, Ston,honae, en the night of
Friday last. It was getting well on in the night. There
were some civilians in the dowse also, and one other marine.
Ore of the civilians wee about to strike a woman who was
there; and ha said, " Dail hit is woman; If you want to
flight, why don't you fight • man ?" Witness pulled the
civilian away, and ha went into • back plat. AC AMC
man, whom ne believed to be Joseph Wright, then came bat
tad said, "Who struck my brother ?" They were in about
the ostee condition as ho himself—" pretty fresh." Lemon
replied, " No one struck your brother, but I'll strike you, if
you don't stash it." Then they both rabid out of the hone,
leaving their ale on the table. Witness did not follow them,
but drank two gleams of ale in the house afterwards. That
wee all he knew about it.
Thames Crossing deposed that Its had examined the body
of dos eased on the previous day, at about five o'clock in the
afternoon. He found the °apse in a very frightful conditioN
with all the appearance of having been immersed in the water
for several days. Both the eyes were entirely destro
probably by fish taking the integuments from the orbits,
and in • circular form round the cheek bona, mid ex-
, posing the temple boa. The lips were Paten away,
the mouth doted, with the tongue graining through
the teeth; both ears ware partly eaten away. A wound was
visible on the right aids of the lower jaw about an inch and
a-half in length; and another over the windpipe, obliquely
awing from it. These wounds differed in appearance in some
measure from the other marks before mentioned; but from
the very decomposed state of the body, witness was not pre-
pared to say they were not made in a similar way to the
others. Toe edges were smooth, end could be brought toge-
ther more like incised wounds. Would not say that these
two wounds were not caused by • sharp instrument. The
integuments about the wounds were so saturated and decom-
posed as to render it impossible to say how they were caused,•
blood was issuing from the wound in the neck. The blood
in drowned bodies was usually in a fluid state. Witness felt
satisfied that no additional evidence could be obtained by a
post mortem examination ; decomposition being so advanced
that any internal appearance* might be attributed thereto.
George Stoneman was standing at the door of the General
Havelock, smoking his pipe, when he saw two civilians run
oat at the doer, and • marine, called Gloucester, after them,
They all three ran down the street, and he saw the marine
kick them. They tan out of witness's eight towards the
bridge. Wright was one of the civilians.
Francis Willcocks, lessee of the Stonshotne Bridge, said
that en the night in question, shortly after 10, he beard a
disturbance, and saw tour or five men running in their shirt-
sleeves. They ran down • passage on the north side of the
bridge. He went to look over the bridge wall, and heard a
voice in the passage say, " knock the into the water.
In • few minutes the men with the bias striped shirts came
up the peerage with Joseph Wright, who begged that they
would not hit him. The men then took Wright to the Prince
George Hotel.
William Bridgman, landlord of the Bridge Inn, was
called, but could depose to nothing further than seeing some
marina in the pangs. Could not identify either of them.
He saw only two marines come up. Some might have come
up before. One of the marines led up • man in dark clothes.
The wage slipped down very much to the water, and a
sober men ?tuning down fat in the dark would be likely to fall,
The proceedings were adjourned.
