Saturday evening the company attending the Surrey Theave,.

the misconduct of a person named Brown, who it appears was per-
mitted by the Managers to sell fruit, &c. to the frequenters of the
pit. While Brown was so eccupfed, he rudely attempted to pass
a seat on which some Ladies were. He was told by a friend of
theirs, a Mr. Scibbird, that be might get ;Ion; without incon-
veniencing any person, by stepping across the next seat, which was
not so much crowded. Brown, instead of doing as required, placed
his foot cn a Lady's dress, they Jet his basket down, and lastly,
struck Mr. S. a tremendous blow over his face, which caused a black
eye. The audience took part with the ill-treated Gentleman, and
Hamilton, a constable, .talked Brown away to a place of security.
Yesterday the charge was brought before the -Sitting Magistrate
when the above facts were stated. Brown, it is said, will not again
be permitted to enjoy the privilege of selling 4uit within the
Theatre, and for the assault, he was ordered to bad bail.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
An Inquest, which was a4tourned from Weduesday
last, till Saturday, was held at Greenwich, by Mr: CART-
Tit:, the Coroner, on view of the body of Fanny Fetar,
a child of colour, aged 15 years, who was brought to
this country by a Lady of the highest respectability,
from India.
The investigation took place at the Yorkshire Grey,
in Lime-kilns-lane, near Blackheath. The Jury room
and the road outside were thronged during the time the
Coroner was sitting..
The following evidence was brought forward :
Matilda Ftowd, a girl about 15 years of age, one of
the persons accused, on being sworn, deposed as fol-
lows --01 am housemaid to Mrs. Oddy at Greenwich ;

I have known the deceased for two or three months
past ; she wise slave girl, brought to this country from
India by Mrs. Mingnan, in October last year. Mrs.
Nlingnan is my mistress's daughter, and occupies
apartments in her house. The deceased was pretty well'
in.health for the first fortnight after she came to live
at our house. As the weather became cold, she
complained of being ill at her stomach. This was
(tore chiefly by signs, as she was unable to speak
English so as to be underqood. She got better with the
weatherond her health fluctuated afterwards according
to the heat or cold. Ido not know if ever she ]rod the
assistance of any medical Gentleman, or if she ever re-
quired one. She lived with Mrs. Mingnan, as nursery-
maid, in the same house with me. She seemed to be of
a very perverse, sulky, and obstinate temper, and would
seldom do any thing she was ordered. I never saw or
heard of het being punished for her misconduct until
within a day or two before her death. Her mistress, and
all the family, treated her with the greatest kindness.—
On Thursday week last, she complained again of
being ill in her stomach, by pointing to it, and say-
ing, etita, bita, stomach no good." I told her mis-
tress of her situation, and she prepa:ed some cordial,
which she gave *her to drink ; it seemed to relieve)
her a little, and she appeared to get better. She was
affected in a similar way as persons are who ate troubled
with the bowel complaint. Site was a girl of very dirty
habits, which gave a deal of trouble to me and my
fellow servants. On Friday week, the day before she
died, s'te appeared to be in tolerably good humour and
health, until about mid-day, when she was ordered to
wash some of the child's linen. She trifled away her
time, and did not go about what she was desired to do.
Her mistress ordered her into the yard to wash them,
as she refused to wash them in the kitchen. Upon
her mistress telling her to go about her work, she
threw herself down on the floor and became sulky ;
after remaining on the ground as long as she thought
proper. she got up and went out at the back door,
with the clothes she had to wadi u;son her arm, but
she still refused to wash them ; she repeated these
tricks two or three times, until about four o'clock, when
her mistress told her she would send for some one to
take her away : this, in my opinion, was done merely to
frighten her to obedience, but it had not such effect : a
man was called in to frighten her, and upon seeing him
she said in broken English she would go with him; she
went accordingly with Dyke, the toll•collector, who
placed her in the toll-house, and shut her in by herself'
for *bout ten minutes, when she was again remised home I
by my fellor/tseri;int and. 'put into the knifehouse a de-
tached shed in the garden, where she remained for about'
Iwo hours and a half, and then she was fetched out by
me and my fellow-servant, as we thought that motet a
proper place for her to be in. We took her Ma the
kitchen, and put her into a large washing pan filled
with warm water, and tried to wash her, but she would
not let us. She-remaMed in the water about two hours,
and then we began to thirik her worse, and we therefore
took her out, wrapped her in hlankets, laid her before'
the fire, and sent for a doctor; but before he arrived
she had expired.
Juror—Are yOu quite sure she was not 'dead when
you took her out of the knife house?
Witness-1 am quite sure she was not; she seemed
almost insensible.
Juror—Pray, where was your mistress 211 this time?
• Witness—She was sip stairs, entertaining a patty of
friends.
Juror—Pray, who was the doctor yes seat foe. to ibis'
poor creature?
Witness—Mr. West, Sir; bdt he *as not at babe,
and his partner, Mr. Sutton, attended; but before be
could arrive, the girl was dead.
Juror—Was the shed damp?
Witness—lt 'was a damp place certainly.
Juror—Have you ever beaten this poor girl yourself;
at any period ?
Witness, after much hesitation, admitted she had, bat
not to butt her.
Juror—Pray, with what used she to be beaten?
Witness—With i tailor's yard measure.
Juror—Do you meats to swear that she was never beat
with a broomstick?
Witness—l will swear that I never saw her beat with,
any thing but the yard measure.
Hannah Nettlefeld etamined—l am coot its the fa-
mily of Mrs. Oddy, and have known the girl for some
time. She was a particularly sulky girl ; she would
sometimes refuse to eat her food or wear her clothes,
which caused her to become weak. She had every

comfort, and the family behaved very kindly to her.
have never known her punished with any kind of seve-
rity; 1 have corsacted her myself, and have seen her
mistress do so also, for her misconduct. Yesterd4 (the
day before she died) she was beaten with a stick. (Here
a yard measure was produced broken in half; it was
about the thickness of the finger.)
John Dyke, toll collector at the Limekilns-gate,
proied that he took the deceased out of the house about
three hours before her death, by desire of the servant,
Hannah Nettlefold, and placed her on the seat in the
roll house; she remained these about ten minutes, when
Hannah came for her again. He told her to be a good
girl, and do her writ k ; she had no shoes on. Whilst
she was in the toll house she made motions for some
water to drink,but none was given her; witness carried
her into the house, and Hannah Nettlefold said she
should be put in the knife-house ; she then took her
out of my arms, and put her into the shed; there was
no water in the shed. The door was closed upon her,
but he could not sAy if it was locked.
Mr. John Sutton, surgeon, pf Greenwich, had exa-
mined the body since death, and gave it as his opinion
that the child's death might have been produced by
cold and fright operating on her body and mind, There
were no marks cn the body. He had since examined
the Iliad internally, and feund on the left side, just
above the ear, a small contusion, underneath which the
bones seemed much inflamed, and the blood vessels
enlarged to the extent of two inches in diameter, and
an extravasation of blood of about a quarter of an ounce.
I do not think these appearances would cause death.
Mr. Henry Myers, assistant surgeon of the hospital
ship Grampus, had also examined the head and body,
and corroborated Mr. Sutton in his opinion.
James Starkey, apprentice to Mr. Easterford, shoe•
maker at Greenwich, spoke to seeing one of the girls
dragging the deceased along the yard through the Mow

,alMnst naked; and he also smare that- he had. frequently
laeen her in a naked state in the yard, near the knife.
house. He hid seen one of her mistresses bdat her
most cruelly. He had heard her groaning repeatedly,
and calling at the back-door for Matilda, the other
servant, but he never saw the door open.
Mrs. Easterford, the mistress of the last witness, spoke.
in corroboration, adding, that she had seen one of the
servants tome out (Matilda Frowd) with a stick in her
hand, and a man also with a stick in his hand. She saw
them approach the child, and heard the man say-
6. Fanny, why don't you be a good girl and do your
stork, and not.be so obstinate?" She beard no maser,
but saw the little creature fall from the wash tab, and
her heed fell upon the stones. Matilda Frowd plobtd
her up, and beat her with a stick. Shortly after snit
she heard Mrs. Mingnan say to the man, " Take the
stick and beat her, for she deserves it."

and have known the deceased by the name of Fanny;
her foreign name is Fetar. She was always very obsti-
, nate and perverse; sbe.was, however, kindly treated. If
I she had been ill-treated, it was quite unknown to me.
lb s bins the whole of the evidence, the Coroner
briefly summed up tre case, the tumult in tt.e room
i-being to great; and, after an absence ot an hnur,
Tire Jury- returned a verdict of Manslaughter against
Mrs.Miugnan, Matilda Frowd, and Haaiizti Nettlefold;

had not, up so a late hour last night, be:ls-apprehended.
