FATAL BOXING.

CANTERBURY. JUNE S.

Whitsuntide usually prodnees marry boxing suntelien
We regret to record one which took place yesterday in
the parish of Hcly Cross, Westgate.
Benjamin Barrett had been spending the evening and
night at Winchea,) Pair, and upon his lemur home with
his wife, went into the George and Dragon, and called
for some liquor. The laodlord refused him drink. Ik,
however, went into the iiir-room, and a quarrel arose
between him and same brromda•heis. Barlett insisted
upon fighting a man named James Baker, and the
parties proceeded down the street tnwa: di the fields,
to find an eligible spot. Upon arriving near West-
gate Court, they chose the Pound for their contest.—
Baker observing, " you are a lame man, let us have a
soft place to fall on ; you will be hurt upon the hard
stones." They snipped and went into the Pound, ac.
Icompanied by their wives, u hen the men commenced.
After the first round, the combatants called out for
seconds, upon which Simmonds entered the ling as the
friend of Laker, and a young man who was cmiially
prew-A, of tie name of Marren, a butcher, ster:ed in
to perform the same (Ace for the deceased, observing
that he 4, would have all fair." Tie men fought s
or seven rounds, when in the last round Baker sti [irk
Barrett a severe blow just under the ribs upon the
left side. Its effects ss.re tremendous. The de-
ceased staggered a few paces and fell flat on his face.
lie breathed hard a few times, bdt spoke not, and
was a corpse in two or three minutes. Mr. Grown, stir.
geon, was sent for, but Ire was past human aid. The
wretched wife, who had peen hut a few minutes bef€re,
with an infant in her arm;, encouraging her liusbalid in
his ill-fated ci.ntest, now seemed in despair at its result,
and gave way to the most extravagant grief.
The body was cnns eyed to the Cock pubiic-bouse,
in the neighbourhood.
CORONER'S INQUEST. _ _

Mr. F. S. Brown, surgeon, deposed that he esamined
the body of the deceased, and found a 'nal k of violence
over the cardiac extremity of the stomach, which WaS
sufficient to cause instant death

John Coverlid said, that at a Tinter past five in the
morning he beard the deceased guar, ening in the stre3
with some other persons; saw the deceased and Baker
begin fighting, and after fighting for about ten rainute•,
the deceased received a blow on the left side, which
caused litin to stagger, and he almost instantly fell for-
ward on his face, and expired. Witness did not think
the passions had time to cool from the commenceimnt
of the quarrel till the fatal blow was struck..
John Clackett corroborated the evidence of Coverlid,
and said that the: e was a g' eat reluctance in the by-
standers to second the combatants. The deceased was
the moat violent, and used some shocking expressio:is
about his determination to fight the•bartle out, wishing
"he alight Fel ish" if he did not beat Baker. in a e.!%v
seconds after, he received his fatal blow, and did pet ish !
Every assistance was afforded him. Baker was as
along averse to fighting ; he observed, when in the ring,
or pound, " I do not think I can beat yol—you are
called fighting Barrett; but I will give you enough cl
it not to insult n.e again."
Stephen Alai tell, alter confirming the particulars as
above, said thy ciecea!-ed exclaimed, Won't somebOdy
come and Fick me up ?" and a short time atterwattis he
went into the pound, and aced as Lec:.nd to the re-
,ceased. The deceased lost his ,lie as stated by the other
witnesses. The witness instantly ran for the surgeon.
The fight was fair. Both men were intoxicated. TIT
deceased was very vio.ent.
The Jury delivered a vcrt.iict of IVanslaughter
James Baker, who has a!,scouded. The Coroner ',turd
his warrant for his apprehension.
