FATAL IRISH AFFRAY.

On Saturdaday an inquiry wee commenced before
Mr. John Wood, the coroner of York, into the cif.-
curnst inces 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 event by them for the last few years, an
extraordinary number of the peasantry of the sister
country have locateel themselves within the walls of
the city. The result has been frequent disturbances
in Bedern and Longclose-lane, where they chiefly
reside, and it was in the latter street that the fetid
occurrence we have now to describe took place.
Flannery was more than 50 years of age, a widower,
end the father of eight children, tt-e eldest of whom
is upwards of 20 years of age. S Jrne of them are
married, and the families resided together in One
house. Soma ill-feeling had been created between the
husband of one of Flannery'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, when James Donellin went up
to her and struck her in the face. The 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. He
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 inseusible 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 decea4ed 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 coroner's investigation yeas
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.
