Mention the words alluded. toio.when they laid a
wager Of a guinea. Thei man who was to settle

The deceased stood np, and said, " 1 shall go
home, or I'll be,locked out, it being eight o'clock,
and I. a patient in St. Bartholomew's Hospital!"
On his standing up, some person pushed him
against the Prisoner John Fred. Tire, and threw
the hitter back against the grate. When Tire got
up, he went towards the settle, near the door, and
drew his knife a second time from his apron, bran.,
dishinvit, saying, '' WhOeVer COIMS near ine
Shall have that." Some of the company thensried
out, " He has got .4 knife, rake care of him!"

All the Witnesses before the Coroner's Inquest
last night were unanimous in the belief, that the
deceased did 'not offer .to strike the Prisoner with.
the fire irons. •

vestigation, sutnmed;up the .tifidenee, stating, that
if they did not believe the full purport of what
they heard from the Witnes,seri, they would con.
sequently give their vtfisalid, for. manslaughter. If,
however., they were per4tnickit-ot .the truth of their
various declarations, that they,would decide accord.

of money to stay proceedings against him.
