FATAL IRISH AFFRAY.

On Saturdaday an inquiry was commenced before
Mr. John Wood, the coroner of York, into the cir.
cumstances attending the death of James Flannery,
an Irishman, who died that morning in consequence
of the savage treatment he had received at the
hands of some other Irishmen on the Thursday be-
fore. In the neighbourhood of York, chicory is
cultivated to a very large extent by the farmers,
and owing to the Irish being employed to a consi-
derable extent by them for the last few years, an
extraordivary number of the peasantry of the sister
country have located themselves within the walls of
the city. The result has been frequent disturbances
in Bedern and Langelose-lane, where they chitfi,
reside, arid it was in the latter street that the fatal
occurrence we have now to describe took place
Flannery was more than 50 years of age, a widower,
and the tither of eight children, the eldest of whom
is upward. of 20 years of age. Same of them are
married, and the families resided together in one
house. Some ill-feeling had been created between the
husband of one of Flaonery's daughters and a man
named Donellin, who had called in question her
chastity. Three brothers of the Donellin family,
named Michael, James, and Henry, created a dis
turbance in the street, it is supposed, in consequence
of what had previously occurred between the parties
in question, and the female was standing at the
end of a passage, wben James Donellin went up
t€, her and struck her in the face. Tne father of the
girl, hearing the noise, went out for the purpose
of separating the parties, when James Donellin
struck him over the head with a brush and
broke the handle, and Michael Donellin threw a large
stone at his forehead which knocked him down. lie
was also beaten in a brutal manner whilst on the
ground. He was taken up bleeding profusely from
a wound in the forehead, and on Mr. Mann, a sur-
geon, being sent for, he found that the skull was
severely fractured. Flannery was quite insensible at
the time, but having rallied, Mr. Price, a magistrate,
the same afternoon, took his depositions in writing.
His statement was to the effect that 'Michael Donel-
lin, without any provocation, struck him on the head
with a stone, and that James hit him on the head
with a stick or piece of wood, whereupon he
became insensible, and he knew no more of what
took place. He did not implicate Henry Donellin,
against whom the evidence appears to be only. slight,
although he was shown to be among the parties, had
struck the deceased with his fist, and shortly before
the affray had used threatening language. The un-
fortunate man Flannery became delirious on Friday,
and he expired on the following morning. Tne three
Donellins were apprehended soon after the affray had
happened, taken before the magistrates the same day,
and were remanded. The coroners investigation was
adjourned in order that a post mortem examination of
the body might be made. On Monday evening the
inquiry was resumed before .the coroner. After
several witnesses had been examined, the jury re-
turned a verdict of manslaughter against Michael
Donellin, and also against James Donellin, for having
aided and abetted his brother.
