EXTRAORDINARY SlllClDE.—Yesterday an inquest
was held at the Trinity Arms Tavern, Trinity-square,
Southwark, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr.
Charles Butterworth, a young man twenty years of age,
son of a boot and shoe manufacturer in the Dover-road.
It appeared that the deceased had been for some time
past labouring under nervous debility. On W-dnesday
evening ho returned to his lodgings, No. 10, Trinity-
street, and soon after the servant heard the report of
firearms, and soon after a second report, an becoming
alarmed, she went to his room, and found him lying
the floor, weltering in blood. Mr. Boast, a tnedical gen-
tleman, was promptly in attendance, but found that
death must have been almost instantaneous. Upon an
examination it was evident that the deceased had first
discharged a loaded pistol from each of h's hands, at his
temples, and finning that the balls had glanced off, he
reloaded the pistols, and discharged them at the back of
his head. In the second attempt one of the balls entered
the skull, and the other lodged in the ceiling. Ha inu-t
then Ir,ve taken a razor, wish which he cut his throat
from ear to ear. The coron, r remarked, th tin 911 his

FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN Two Boys IN POPLAR.,
Yesterday a lung investigation was instituted before Mr.
W. Baker, at the Old Commodore public house, High-
street, Poplar, respecting
John May Harries, aged eight years, the son of a rigger,
residing at No. 3, Coiling-the death of a boy, named
place, Poplar, who died, on
Thursday morning last, from injuries he had received in
a fight with a boy named Robert Auty, about the same
age, under the following very extraordinary circum-
stances:—A man, named William Newson, was charged
before Mr. Yardley, the magistrate, at the Thames
Police Court, on Thursday last, with having caused the
death of the deceased, and after hearing evidence the
magistrate remanded him on bail until Monday next. It
appeared from the evidence, that the deceased belonged
to Poplar charity school, and on Wednesday last, being
half-holiday, deceased, and
a number of boys belonging
to the school, went to Abbot's-fields, in Poplar. Auty
and several others undressed themselves and. bathed in
the New Cut of the River Lea. They remained in the
water about a quarter cf an hour, and then com-
menced running: after each other about the fields.
Auty dropped his jacket, and Newson, who had been
sitting on the grass, with three other men, rose, and
picked it up. lie then gave it to the men, and said,
"If Auty wished to have his jacket, he must fight
one of the boys for it." Auty complied with
his request, and selected out the deceased for the pur-
pose. The deceased said ho did not wish to fight, and
Auty instantly struck him. They then commenced
fighting, and the men encouraged them on, promising
beer to the victor. The deceased was struck down
several times by Auty, anti his nose bled profusely. The
men then sent for a gallon of beer, and gave the de-
ceased some out of a pewter mug. The men then ap-
pointed two other boys as seconds, and they commenced
fighting again. They fought nearly an :hour, when
Auty was declared the victor. The deceased appeared
very exhausted, and the men, not satisfied with their
cruel treatment, made them run a race for some more
beer. The deceased could scarcely stand, and was
unable to contend with Auty. Newson then gave the
deceased some more beer, and he was carried home by
two boys. He shortly afterwards became insensible,
guilty of
man-
of such
and expired the following morning. Mr. Bain, a sur-
geon, said he had made a ppst mortem examination, and
attributed death to congestion 01 the brain. He had no
doubt the excitement and they
tered
had produced death. The
jury exps,ed

days, for the purpose of having the other three men
taken into custody.
