Mr. Nlsy, the landlord of the Three Tits. where the
affray took place; Johu Stamp, a labourer (oodn.se tria)/Go-
ole@ we yesterday gni.); aad .reernlLefler person., were es.
summed at constdriaLle length. They mmely spuse so *hat
passed in the top moot bet seen the parties, and the sub-
sequent esansiortion of the dead Wily of A41.404111'; but
how the catastrophe was pnolnerd none of do an could tell.

Richard Waller stated that he was • coachman in the em-
ploy of M Barites and Cie, stage coach proprieloss,
Deptford, and plied nu the Lower Hoed. On Wellik Way night,
about ten Leek. k, or a little after that hour, be was &ism&
up Back•streel, and, at Hie corner near the Jour of the Three
Tuns public-611:e, beheld two men and a women, the former
apparently at high words; one of Ilse men, who appeared
younger than the either, suddenly placed Welt Lauds on his
opponent's breast, and with all his force pusbe.l hint from him.
The man fell with or...mama& violence quite close to the
wheels of hi. (witness's) roach, and omelet have been t WI Os rr
had not he quickly pullet' in his borers. This man he knew
was the deceased ; but lie hit great difficulty in swearing to
the Poisoner, as be ontly beheld his features by the light of
the lamp; he hail since seen him, sad he could not swear to
his person. The deceased after the fall never spoke not at-
tempted to move, and he appeared to all quite dead. Same
people then collected as oiled, and witness drove out, and saw
no more of the transaction.
In answer to some questions from the Jury, witness said
that he dud not think the push was an accidents! our; the
Prisoner shoved him with all his might, which no man would
have done unintentionally.
Mr. Rees, of Tooley street, setegeon, said, he was e•Heol
on Wednesday night to examine the decessed, whom lie touted
lying on the Lilchen floor at Mr. May's, the sign of the
Three Tuna; he was then quite dead, mind nienr..s was in-
formed that violence hail been used towards bun. On esa-
rniniag the head he fumed • slight wound of the back tef It,
which ltd merely bruken the skin, but had not bled watch;
it could out, in his opinion, have ',induced death, as there
was no fracture nor any u her symptom that could wee-
rant such • conclusion. He had yesterday opened the
head in company with Dr. Raldrow, and out the yen-
tricks of the brain found • con.idetable quantity of es-
t ted Wood, which would prodnee apoplexy. This ex-
travesation be conceived was canoed by the (all.
Doctor Baldntw, of Ft,rmundaerstoret, confirmed die
evidence of Mr. Rees in its most material parts, and con-
curred iu the profess 1111 l al opinion given by that Getettrmaa.

peared, respecting the nodal the deceased dead ee the &a-

consultation, setutued a verdict —" Died by the visitalion or
God."
Mr. Ashley was asked if there was out • great qoanirty of
property rootlet iee the house, aloch he answered 111 the afßr-
