CORONER'S INQUEST.

An Inquest was taken Yesterday morning at the
Fled Lion lon, Hampton, before Mr.' STIRLING,
COEnney tor Middlesex, upon the view. of the body
ut John Curtis (.1 groom), who died on TsWilay
CVCTII4 , the 2211 into. to the Red Lion, in con.,e-
(poste reeeiviog some violent
.blows rm the
'same day in a pitched battle 'with Edward Turner,
a leather-cleamr by trade.
John Gritlinhoot s%sorn.—" I am a surgeon,
and reside at Hampton. I was sent for on Tues-
,tlay evening, the 2211 instant, to the Red Lion
to attend on the de-
,publiestiouse„at Hampton,
to
whom, on my arrival, 1 found in bed,
to- a. state of perfect insensibilii y ; I examined
his both, his head was much swollen, there. were
no blows upon lie body which could have caused
such dangerous uppearances, in my opinion ;
r.shserved on his right side a discolouration; anti
..stisto upon the kb side of the abdomen, but I do
not think 'hat either of them were, blows likely
to occasion a man's death ; there was a general
discolooration from the wain upwards ; 1 bled
him in the arm, and applied leaches to his temples.
and also endeavotned to administer •to him an
opening draught, but I could not get it down his
throat ; his head was heat in a dreadful manner,
tool I am of opinion that the blows which he re-
ceived on the head were the cause of his death.
I do not know how he came by the blows, but I
was informed by the by-standers that it was with
fighting on Moulsey-Hurst with a man minted
,Turner. The deceased lived from the tune when
I first saw him (which was about eight o'clock)
Until 12 o'clitek at night."
Mr. Mnrrice Jones.sworn.---‘•r I am a surgeon
and apothecary, and reside at Hampton : 1 at-
tended the deceased about four o'clock On Tuesday,
aftets:oon, at the Red Lion Tavern at Hampton.
He was insensible, and apparently in a dying,state,
from the violent.wounds.and bruises,whicb lte-had
received in almost every Ort of his hotly : his bead
was a Complete mass of blood. I thought, front
the nat tire of his respiration, that there could be
but very remote hopes of his recovery : not
single feature was distinguishable. I have not Abe
least doubt but the bloWs which he received upon
his head were the cause of his desth. I believe
that a blood-vessel had broken in his bead : and
.the only hope I had of his recovering; was by his
blectlint; profusely. The last witness came shortly
after and bled him. I understand that he died
about 12 o'clock the same evening."
Richard Coombs sworn.--s," lam a fishmonger
at Hampton : I was present at the fight between
the deceased and a man named Bthvard Turner,
611 Tuesday last, upon Moidstystlorst. It was a
pitched battle. I never heard of there being. any
quarrel bet weep Curtis and Turner. I saw Curtis
enter the ring at about half-past one o'clock :
Turner entered directly after. 'Oliver, who Was
second to Curtis, and Owen, the- second of Tur-
oer, entered the ring with their then, who strip-
ped and shook hands, and then commenced fight-
When they had foughtonote than an hour,
I went op to Curtis, and advised him to give in ;
he said that he could see, and shook' beat his op-
poneut yet : Curtis, was at that true in a situa-
tion the most dreadful blood poured from
every: pore in his head, his eyes, nose, and
mouth, were running with blood in streams
I beard his seconds advise him not to fight any
longer, `I hey forced him to the ropes, but be
broke front them and faced Turner again. The
third round after he forced himself front his se-
conds, Turner gave hint a City heavy blow,which
threw him, and Touter fCtt upon him. He was
raised up by his gerunds, and the battle ended.—
'Fortier was declared the convert-it.: Curtis was
carried by his friends to the lied Lion at Hamp-
ton, in a stateof insentiihility: in about 10 mi-
nutes after 1- visited Cortis, and found Mr Griffin-
, hoof, the surgeon, with him.: I sent filr leaches,
and he was bled upon the temples 'y five of them
drew a great deal of blood. Mr. esiletist, a sio;-
! geon at Twickenham, was present,4llo advised a
little brandy and, water to ,be put in his mouth,
