bEATH 'OP A BOXER BY FIGHTINO

An inquisition was held on Friday night before
THOMAS IltoGs, Esq. Coroner for Westminster,
at the Feathers Tavern, Dean-street, near West-
minster Abbey, on the body of John Wilson,
aged 24 years, whose death was 'occasioned by
blows which he received in fighting a pitched
battle, on the Sunday preceding, at Millbank,
near the Penitentiary, with a man named Ed ward
Horner. The battle was for five guineas aside.
The deceased had fought many battles.—Mr.
John Drew, assistant surgeon to Mr. Langdale,
of No. 3, George-street, Westminster, deposed,
that on Tuesday night last he was sent, at the
request of the parish officers, to attend upon the
deceased. He, saw him about seven o'clock in
the evening in bed, in a front roorn.of a house in
Jeffrey's-buildings, New-way, Westminster ; he
was then quite senseless. Witness observed a
swelling upon his neck gilder the right ear, ap-
parently the effect of a blow. His right side was
wholly paralysed. Witnesfi bled him, and admi-
nistered medicines; but without effect. Wednesday
night he died. A violent blow on the ear would
produce the effects witnessed on viewing the de-
ceased's body. A blood vessel in the head, no
doubt, was ruptured by the violence that he re-
ceived. A fall would produce the same effects.
T.Sarguy,of the New-way,Westmiuster, knew the
deceased ;" he was 24 years of age when he died.
The deceased and Horner fought for about a
quarter of an hour. Horner could not come up
to the scratch when time, was called. The de-
ceased of course won the battle. The ring was
broken in.—After some, time Horner recovered,
and was ready to fight again ; the deceased said
that he was willing to fight again ; the ring was
again made, and they fought three more rounds ;
the last round but one they, both fell. The de-
ceased could not speak : he was raised up by his
second ; he was held up by his second on his
legs, and fought another round. He stood before
Horner, and thrust out his fist to strike him, and
Horner struck him in return ; the deceased fell,
and was senseless whentaken up.—Henry Sarguy
deposed, that he saw Horner, during the fight,
strike the deceased a very severe blow under
the right ear : the deceased fought several
rounds afteiwards, but he appeared stupified
during the last few rounds.—The CORONER
asked if there was any further evidence, and
receiving an answer in the negative, he addressed
The Jury.—He said he was himself passing the
Petitentiary when the fight, which cost the de-
ceased his life, took place. • A more disgraceful
scene,' perhaps, never was exhibited, and it was
a disgrace to a Christian country that such
brutal and illegal practices should take place
on a Sunday morning, without the interference
of the Police. Not a Sunday morning had
elapsed, for a number of weeks, without a box-
ing-match taking place at Millbank, and be
trusted, that after this event, the police would
abate the nuisance. The Jury would, no doubt,
be satisfied that the deceased died from the
effects of the blows or falls when fighting ; and
he would state to them, that the law was clearly
defined, upon the subject of boxing. All the
authorities laid it down to be an unlawful prac-
tice, and the law said that " justifiable homi-
cide" was only where the death of a person had
been caused by accident, or where; in a sudden
affray, a person killed another in self-defence.
In a case like the present, where the parties met
some days after the original quarrel and delibe-
rately stripped to fight for money, and during
the illegal act one man received violent blows
that caused his death--blows aimed at parts of
the body the most dangerous, and likely to pro-
duce such an effect, he could find no excuse for
it. It was clearly manslaughter in the eye of
the law, unl.-ss the Jury thought the act was
attended with malice, and then it was murder.—
Verdict—" Manslaughter against Edward Hor-
ner."—The Coroner issued hii warrant against
Horner, to take his trial for the offence at the
Old Bailey, and bound over the witnesses to give
evidence.

NEW Aper,r.—W. Pleasance, gardener, of
Barnwell, near this place, has, after many years
trial, brought an entire new species of apple to
very great perfection. It is a most excellent
sauce apple, and will keep perfectly well through
the winter. For magnitude and weight it ex-
ceeds all that are known in this country, mea-
suring 12 inches in circumference, and weighing
1 lb. 1 oz. avoirdupoise. The produce, also, is
very abundant. The gardener has given the apple
the name of the Cambridge Pippin.—(Cambridge
Chronicle.)
THE MAI LS.—We have the best authority for
saying, that in two or three weeks, the time of
the Edinburgh and York Mail coach will be
changed materially on the upward route. The
mail will arrive at Newark at three o'clock in
the afternoon, and reach Stamford between seven
and eight at night (four hours later than at pre-
sent). By this change, the town of Newark will
receive the great accommodation of being enabled
to answer letters from the South on the same day,
which has been hitherto impracticable. The city
of Lincoln also will be benefitted by the oppor-
tunity of twelve hours more time than at present
for correspondence with the South : the mail-
bags for London are now taken from the Lin-
coln Post-office at six ,o'clock in the morning,
and the office consequently closes over night.
—When the new arrangements of the York
mail-coach time are completed, it will not
be necessary that the mail from Lincoln for
London, via Newark, should be dispatched
before twelve o'clock in the day, to meet the
York mail at Newark at three. The down-
ward time of the Edinburgh (or York) mail
will not be materially altered in this part of the
kingdom. The mail is to start from London at the
usual hour, 8 o'clock at night : any change of
time on the road will result only from such in-
creased speed as may be found practicable, and
it is not' expected that it can be considerable
within 150 miles of London.—Some alterations
of the Glasgow mail are contemplated, but that
plan is not yet sufficiently matured to be spoken
of with any certainty. The General Post-office,
we understand, has also under consideration a
plan for a mail to Hull direct, via Lincoln and
Barton.—(Stun ford Mercury.)

'At this day's market, we had farther ccmsiderable arrivals

neaiTy without demand. The trifling business done in the
former was at a reduction of about 6d per 701 h; in the latter

ed our last currency; but grinding Barley id to 3d per 601 b

HULL, .Oct. 9. •
We have had a full attendance of farmers at this day's
Market, and-a very considerable quantity of sate, les of pew
-Wheat offered. They are in general rather soft ; but some
few that were housed before the rains came to hand in good
condition—for these and old samples prices keep much the
same as last week, but inferior meets a heavy sale. New
Batley is beginning to appear. There are also some few sam-
ples that were early got, which appear hue for the season, and
the maltsters seem inclined to buy these at our
.quotati.ons ;
old. Barley is keenly sought after. Beans are rather flat,
though the holders do nut seem inclined to acquiesce to lower
rates.
