THE BIRKENHEAD STABBING CASE.

The inquest on the body of the unfortunate man
Drury, who was killed under circumstances stated in
The Sun of Wednesday, was reopened yesterday. The
other wounded man (John Dunn) has made the following
deposition :—I live at the dock cottages at block A. I
was at Seward's publichouse on Sunday evening. There
were some of Messrs. Thompson's drivers there ; there
were several of them. I left at about 10 o'clock. I
can't say if the prisoners were there. I know them by
sight, but I don't remember either of them being there.
I know the prisoner John Smith well. I had got a
little way towards my lodgings in the dock cottages
when I saw two or three men running into one of the
avenues of the dock cottages. I went up to them and
saw about four men striking one another. They all
appeared to be striking each other. One of them was
down. The man who was down lay quite still, but I
saw no blood. Two of the men were inside a doorway,
and one outside. They were all fighting together. Those
three men were part of the four I first saw. The two
inside were fighting with the man outside. The man I
first saw was still lying near the doorway. I went up
to the door to see what was the matter. When I got
near, one of the two men inside the doorway rushed
at me and struck me a blow on the left side, as I thought,
with his fist. I then went away out of the avenue
and felt the blood coming. I then met police-constable
Clarke and another policeman. I told him that I bad
been stabbed. I saw the face of the man who stabbed
me, but not sufficiently to enable me to know him again.
He had white trowsers on, and I think something of a
dark jacket. I cannot tell what be bad on his head. I
cannot say whnt kind of a man the other man was. I
saw no snore of the row, and was brought to the hospital
I do not know a man named John Drury (the deceased).
I may know him, but not by name. There was no
quarrel at the publichouse when I left, and I believe
they were clearing out. I recollect telling the police-
man I would show him the house where the men were
when I was stabbed. Before I left to be brought to the
hospital, I pointed, for the police, down the avenue in
the direction of the house where I was stabbed, when
one of the policemen went in that direction and the
other remained with me. I cannot tel 1 how many doors
down it was where I was stabbed. When I came out
of the publichouse I turned to the right, and I do not
know which block it was in which I heard the noise,
but as I went into the avenue the row was on the
right-hand side. Ido not know how many doors it was
in the avenue, but I had passed a corner. When I me,
the police-constable I was on the road from the church
to Seacombe. _ _

The coroner's inquiry into the charge against Francis
rand John Smith and George Callaghan, for the murder
of John Drury, closed het night at 9 o'clock. The ver-
diet was "Idanblaugilter" against the three.
