NEWPORT (ISLE OF WIGHT), OCTOBER S.

I hasten to inform you, that ',ince my last a Coro.
ner's Inquest has been held at the Barrett:, on the
b.dy of the unfortunate man who was killed on Sun-
day evening. And the Coroner's verdict was Wi
Murder against persons unknown. The deceased, it
appears, was not in the least concerned in the array.
but was quietly going into his barracks, as the fatal
ball struck him in the neck. It does not appear that
the guard were called upon to assist in quelling the
disturbance ; but that 150 ball cartridges were fired,
is beyond a doubt. Since this unfortunate business,
the four ball cartridges have been taken away from
each individual, a very necessary precaution, for it
cannot be good policy surely, for privates who may
intoxicate themselvet at the canteen at their pleasure,
to have such things in their own power. This quarrel
had began as long ago as Wednesday preceding the
Sunday evening that this unfortunate event took place.
The foreigners are now sent into the country to the
outposts, where the inhabitants do not feel themselves
very secure. For if being under the immediate eye
of the Commanding Officer could not restrain their
excesses, the result may be feared, when at a distance
of eight or nine miles from head quarters, near cot-
tagers who cannot know their.wants, not understand-
ing their language.
