FATAL FIGHT.—"; hursday afternoon Mr. William
Baker held an inquest at the Bricklayer's Arms, Char-
lotte-street, Curtain-road, on the body of Francis Lee,
aged 29 years, a baker, residing at No. 7, Mills-court,
Curtain-road, who died on Monday last from injuries he
had received in an affray with a man named George
Tomkins, in East• road, City- road. It appeared from the
evidence that on Tuesday, the 20th inst., the deceased
had been drinking with several companions, at various
public-houses. Towards the evening he became very
much intoxicated, and entered the Three Crowns, in
East-road, City-road. He went into the taproom and of-
fered to fight any one present, and divested himself of
his coat. Tomkins, the potman belonging to the house,
was lying on the form, and while in that position the
deceased struck him several violent blows. Tomkins
rose-from his seat, and they both fought for several mi-
nutes, when they tell with great violence, between two
forms, deceased being under Tomkins. The face of the
deceased was bleeding most profusely, and Tomkins
procured a pillow and some water, and washed his lace.
The deceased fell asleep, and remained there some time.
Tomkins, with the assistance of another man, con-
veyed the deceased home to his lodgings. Mr. Alfred
Brown, a surgeon, stated that the face of the deceased
was much disfigured, and he complained of pains in his
head, back, and stomach. He continued to get worse,
and expired on Monday afternoon last. He (Mr. Brown)
attributed death to the bursting of a bladder. in the
abdomen, caused, no doubt, by falling against the
table. The jury returned a verdict of " Justifiable ho-
micide."

THE LATE MR. W. H. WILLIAMS, COMEDIAN.—
This well-known actor expired at four o'clock on
Thursday morning, at his residence in Amwell-terrace,
Pentonvillc. Mr. Williams was born at Weston, Somer-
setshire, in 1792. Ile tried his 'prentice-hand at Ber-
wick-street, the Minor, Catherine-street, and other
private theatres, and was then engaged by Mr. Beverly,
at the Tottenham-street Tha,tre, Tottenham-court-road,
as a comic singer. With that manager he went to
Richmond, Woolwich, Croydon, &c.; from there he pro-
ceeded to Nottingham, and became a favourite in Man-
ley's circuit ; this led him on to York, from whence he
progressed
to London in Elliston's famous after season
(1820). He made his first appearance at Drury-lane, as
Risk, in Love Laughs at LocAsmiths, and was engaged
for five years. He generally acted as a substitute for
Munden, Dowton, Harley, Knight, and Oxberry, the
elder. He had a quarrel with Elliston, left Drury, and
took to the minors, appearing at Astley's, the Surrey,
Coburg, Sadler's Wells, &c. In conjunction with Mr.
Fitzwilliam, he took a theatre at King's-cross, origi-
nally epened by Lanza,. This place he called the Pan-
harmoition ; he then, still aided by his fair coadjutor,
took Sadler's Wells, but the speculation was not produc-
tive. Under tfe auspices of James Wallack he visited
America, and was for some time a great favourite in
New York. Previous to leaving England, he had given
entertainments a /a Matthews, relieved by conjuring,
performances on the musical glasses, &c. &c. These
things he also attemptad in different parts of the United
States, but not with any great success. Latterly he
appeared at Niblo's Gardens. As a comic singer he was
appreciated both here and at the other side of the
Atlantic. In the Southern `States his health visibly
declined, and he returned to England completely shat-
tered. He re-appeared at Sailler s Wells, and for some
time drew crowded houses ; lava it was soon evident that
his constituticii had sustaine,f a shock from which it
could not rally. He has left a widow and four children,
t eldest twenty-Ea u, the youngest nine years of age.
Mr. Williams was married '4Nviee, but had no issue by his
first wife.
