COROIVE's /iVQ

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, p Jury was 1
in pannened at Si. Bartholomew's Hospital, by
SHFj..TON, Esq. Coroner for the City, to
inquire how William Broad, Compositor, deceased;
tame by his death: .
-Edward Goold, a- fruit4atesavn, in High Hob;
born, deposed, that passing through Long Acre on
Wednesday night last week, he saw two menfliai,
tactically dressed, \vial birds of paradise feathers Li
their hats, red paper with. the name 'of Pitur.t" as,
another ornament, and one of them having a 'non-
stick in his hand, and something, like a serjeant's
sash cker one shoulder down to the opposite hip.
The deceased-asked the foremost if he was a wo-
twit ?. The other. went into a sadler's shop ; about
that time about twenty people -gathered round' the
door, and in the course of 'a minute the first man.
said, " What the devil do ye all do here ? von had
better go about your business, or the gentleman in
the shop will shoot-yon." They soon after came to
'blows, the deceased retreating and catching the blows
for a short time, until he succeeded in. Wresting the
mop-stick out of the other's hands.' They then
fought with their fists, and the deceased was twice.
knocked down.
The Witness then saw the man that was in the
shop rush forward to where the others were "fight-
ing, take a knife out of his breeches pocket, and
stab or cut' the deeeased two or three times. Some
people, in the crowd exclaimed that he had got a
knife ; upon which the Witness ran towards him,
and laid hold of his right arm ; but whilst they were
struggling together, he saw the Prisoner 'Nerdy,
Who was the man that gave the cut, change the
'knife from his right towards his left hand, and then
lost sight of it. He shoved the Prisoner into a
cheesemonger's. shop, where he pulled off his coat,
sat down upon some cheeses, and when spoken to
about the.stabbirt, said, " I'v.e got no knife," open:-
ing his hands Cut-upon an, Officer searching after- -
wards, and finding two knives in his coat pocket,
he confessed that he had stabbed the man with the
green .handled knife.
- Mr. H. Holt, surgeon, swore nearly to the
same general effeta, but with more minute partieu--:
lars---for instance, that the swinging of Sebastian
,Grandi's, the other Italian, arms first gave offence
to' some one in the crowd ; that after that, a scuffle
ensued, and the old man (Grandi) charged some one
with robbing him of his stick, and a stick felt in the
street at the time. Nerdy then Came forward, and
knocked the deceased dawn, with a back-handed
blow of his left hand. Upon seeing the deceased
fall a second time, and hearing same one say, " the
. fellow's got a knife," he stepped up to the deceased,
perceived that he was wounded in the thigh, and
from the noise which the great issue of blood
made, at first imagined that_ the main femoral ar-
tery had been cut across ; but on examining the pa-
tient at the shop of a neighbouring apothecary, lie
discovered that the chief tendin had been Separated
above the bend of the arm. He put a ligature round
the wound, and sent him to his uncle's, in May's-
buildings, after which he was sent to the Hospital.
Some other Witnesses deposed very nearly to the
same effect.
Joseph Manley, a baker, of Vine-street, however,
swore that he did not see the old man (Grandi) fight,
bast that the prisoner lardy, who is by far the
younger man, was struck at repeatedly before he
drew the knife, and cut the deceased.
Mr, Thomas Parker, House-Surgeon at St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, deposed, that the deceasjd
grew amazingly better until MLrnday night, when a

fresh.hzemorrhage took place .to Such an extent, that
the floor was wet with blood that ran through the
bed.on which the deceased lay that was stopped
•up, • but the wound broke open a-fresh on Tuesday
morning, about 't 1, and at half after 12 o'clock the
patient expired.To the great loss' of blood 'he as-
cribed the cause of the man's death ; and it was .his
opinion, that even if amputation had taken place
-shortly after the infliaion the'wound, it would
not have saved the patient's life, his constitution had
receiyed such a shock in the first instance by the
immediate`loss of blood. •
. .

Mr.lialph Chalmers, the sadler, into whose shop
Nardy \Vent, deposed, that on seeing the crowd
gather round his companion, Grandi, he waved
,Small whip, which he had hotight in his shop; told
the people, it, broken English, not to hurt his brother
Robert, saying, " Me soadjAh '; me nineteen broders
sOadjaws ; will any one list ? Me soadjaw." Upon
this, some one in the crowd exclaimed, " He• says
he Will Aloot you." There\ was then a general
scuffle, and the deponent could not well ascertain
What folloWed.

Tho Coroner slammed up, at a quarter after eleven
o'clock, and the Jury pronounced a Verdi& of Wil-
ful MUrdet against Nardy.
