iNQUESTS.

Afri.awcwotir SUICIDE —On Saturday an i; gnisitina
was taken at the Greyhound-Inm Dulwich, before CHARLES
Jasawerr, Eeq. Coroner fur Surrey, on view of the body of
Mr. George Gun. The deceased was a Gentleman well
known in the City. He held a situation In one of the offices
under Government, and on the 15th instant, absented front
his friends, who made every inquiry in vain for him. He,
however, it appeared, strolled to the above house, and entered
the coffee-room at a late hour in the evening He seemed
very much dejected and depressed in spirits. He asked the
waiter whether he could be acr sssss ruoilated with a bed
waiter said lie could have a bed iu a double bed-euttni, hut
ru„;i,...
went to bed about twelve o'clock. afier tskiitz sums refrest
meat, and requested to lie called up early next mornii:sz.
The chambermaid accordingly went to his chandler next
day, at the hour appointed; but finding it locked, slit.
knocked, but received uo answer. She emne dowo stairs
and informed her master, who immediately broke into the
room, and was shocked at Muting him suspended from the
tester of the bed by a piece of curd. He nistantly cut him
down, and sent for a surgeon; but no assistance could be
rendered, the vital spark being quite extinct. It was further
stated, that he had left a wile and nine children to lament
his loss.

The Coroner summed up the evidence, and the Juri ae-
turned a verdict—insanity.
Another inquest was held at the Brown Bear, Rcar-lane,

opening the coach door to let her out at lwr own door, he

TO THE EDITOR.

Stu—The moment I bad been examined yesterday, I left
the Collet, and was afterwards informed that sumo animad-
version fell Prom the Judge, un my attending to give evi-
dence against my father, which was presently followed by
his stating that be had learnt, with sati.faction, that l bad
nut coma forward willingly.
As this latter statement is omitted in the Newspaper re-
ports, it has been thought needful that I should explain the
facia.

I first knew of the cease by its being mentioned, a frw
days ago, is a letter from my &thee, and the day after that
letter reached me 1 was served by Mr Carter, the Plaintiff's
attorney, with a subpinna. He told me that the fact he
wanted me to speak to was, that when 1 had seen a quantity
of the papers complained of lying at my father's office, in
Bridge-street, 1 bad requested the Clerk to put them aside,
and take an early opportunity of destroying them. This was
true; but ant seeing myself how it could be of importance
in the cause, I begged that 1 might not be called, and he pro.
mimed to oblige me in this, if lie could. When the hint
came on I was attending a public meeting, et the City of
Loudon Tavern, soil allowed a second and peremptory uses-
sage to come from Nlr. Carter, before 1 obeyed his summons.
On entering the Court I went to him, and begged be would
suffer use to ask his Counsel whether my evidence might nut
be dispensed with, which be readily.consented to; but, ou
applying to Mr. Serjeant Lens, he told me I must stay. It
was in conseqeenee of my having made this inquiry that 1
aloud near to the Plaintiff's Counsel, when Mr. Serjeant
Copley ruse to cross examine me, and this drew from him
bin first exclainatioo and question, if it was possible that I
could be there conducting such a cause against my father!
That I ime there was most painful to my awn feelings, and
it is scarcely less so that there should have been a necessity
fur 03C to revive the subject by this explanation.

PUGILISM.

On Tuesday week, the admirers of the pugilistic an in the
hundreds of Benign., and Rockford in particular, were highly
entertained by a fight, whith took place on Southininster
marches, between the celebrated John Bennewith and
Leggett, for a purse of Ten Pounds. The former resides on
Foulness Island, and is well known in that part of the
county; the latter is foreman at the works row no at
Suoihminster Church; both of them had the character of
being men of stoned bottom, and possessing a tolerable share
of science. The parties tort about two o'clock, in a3O feet
roped ring. whirls liemiewilli first entered, by leaping over the
ropes, and throaing np his hat, with great confidence; lie
was soon followed by Leggett, who very coolly, and equally
sanguine, advanced to meet his adversary. Besiiiewith was
waited upon by his brother, who has only one hand, as
se I, whilst his wife officiated as bottle.huhler. Leggett
was taken care if by Jenny, a knocking down amateur
from lireistwood. The men were equal in weight, but
Leggett bad the advantage in height and length of arm.
—Betting was 7 to 4, 3 to 2, and even 2 to I, un Leg-
gett. The first twelve rounds the combatants were nearly
equal, each giving and receiving tremendous blows ; but
the backers of Leggett were disappointed at his not skewing
the science they expected. From the 19th to the 30th round,
Bennewith sheared superior strength, and evidently had the
advantage About this time Leggett made a desperate stand,
and had the best of two or three rounds, and endeavoured,
by the advice of his second, to plant a hit on Bennewith's
remaining open window, the other having been previously
shot. In this attempt be but partially succeeded. From
this time Leggett grew weak ; nod, In the 49th round. be
received a terrific blow in his hread•bavket, which proved
nearly a quietus; be, however, fought four rounds after,
making in the whole 53 rounds in one hour and eleven
minutes, et the expiration of which be reluctantly yielded
the victory to his opponent.
Beitucwith has, in this battle, retrieved his former cha
meter of being a man of good bottom ; and what is more,
be has proved (what by some was doubted) that be can
take as well as give. He fought his men in a handsome
style, and throughout the battle was not the least distressed.
After victory was declared in his favour, he with great agi-
lity leaped over the rope, three feet six inches high, and re-
turned to houthmiuster, where, in the evening, he danced
■ hornpipe. Leggett, although vanquished, ilia good man;
be fought with the most determined courage, and only gave
in whew be could mend nu longer. He was taken to South-
minster, and put to bed, when it was found that two of his
ribs were broken by she tremendous blow be received to the
49th round. It is computed that there were upwards of
b,OOlll spectators.
