Henry Racket, labourer, of Wimblcy, depenej, that
on Sunday night he was ,ent by his mater for a inat,
and on passing a field licit the Green Man, he heird a
' noise as of several persons quarrelling. On Yoking to

of Mr. R.N4J, in ha y•mrkin ; among (stile-s he ~„
Janes Cochrane, Jam-s l3any,Cotnelius Harry, James
Shea, Jeremiah Murray, James
J hn Casey, Cattier ine Casey, and fie:int!), c,
They weir gust-re:llin.! with deceased. .1! e ti•st
saw, was given by John Casey, v..ho with a hLick ;heel
stick :truck deceased across the slinud: r, and knocked
him dowc. Ile then knelt upon him; anJ ke,”. hewing
him over the head with the stick t:il the blood flowed
copiously. After a time he desisiel, and Long John
got up, and stripped to fight with his fists. The whole
of the prisoners then came close up to the deceased;
one of them, James Barry, had a blunderbuss, and most
of the rest had pitchforks. As s .on as they had cloud
round the deceased, Casey struck him acrocs the loins
with the staff-end of a fink, arid he fell to the ground,
and never spoke afterwards. The rest fell tipor, the de.
ceased, and stiuck at him with their tnrks. Witness and
four other Englishmen, named Arnold, Nix, Berry, and
Bel, who in the meantime had come u; , ran to the
spot, and endeavoured to piorect Long John. Wa.
ness had a stick in his hand, with which r e snuck Cosy
-on the hand. The Irish in a body attacked wares, and
the rest of the English with their forks, and compelled
them to run away. When Long John got up, after being
knocked down the first time, he seized hold of the black-
thorn stick which Casey had in Iris hand, and wrested
it from him, and flung it to a distance. Casey instantly
seized hold cf a fork, arid with it struck down Loll
John the second and last time. Atter considerable
questioning, it was elicited from the witness that he
had interfered when Long Jr hn was first knocked
down, and had then struck Casey with a stick he had
brought from home. The others fell on witness, and he
was compelled to run across the field. He al erwards
returned and saw Casey knock down the deceased with
a fork. After Long John was first knocked down, La-
cey, Nix, Arnold, Berry, and Bell interfered, and fought
Kirsh the Irish, and endeavoured to drive them cif. Se-
veral of the Irish jumped upon the deceased, after he
was knocked down the second time. When they left,
witness returned. The deceased was lying rn the
ground, but was not dead. He assisted in carrying him
to this house, and a surgeon was then sent for.
Mr. Bowen, surgeon, of Harrow, deposed, that hese
rived at the spot about one o'clock in the morning, and
found the deceased lying on a board. He wai; quite
dead. On dividing the scalp he found a suffusion of
blood on the brain, wbicb was the cause of death. Both
his jaws were fractured-011e witness produced a piece
of the haw er jaw, wbich had been fractured ; it contained
seven teeth). The chest was much injured, as was alto
the lower region of the stomach. There were two punc-
tures on the lett shoulder, apparently done by a fork,
'2nd as many incised wounds on the upper lip, inflicted
with some sharp instrument. Lie also found a very
deep wound 'on the side of the temple, which mostlii4
was the occasion of the suffusion of blood on the brat..
The man, in his opinion, was beat to death. Wt:eiisii-
ness arrived, the Irishmen were in custody, and n
cuffed.

Afier hearing further evidence, the Coroner ivirti!
summed up, and the Jury, af,er a consnitatirn of Aboot
half en hqur, returned a verdict of " iltul Nllrder
