THE LATE AFFRAY AT CHATHAM.

CORONER'S I NW:EST.—A few evenings hark an

the body of Hugh Adams. 14te a 'mil ate in ar Royal
Artillery Corps, who was killed is the alfr.ty between
the military and 'finks, us briedy noticed in a runner

paper.
J. Souther, a private of the Royal Sappers and Mi-
ners, stated, that on the night of Saturday, the lath in-
slant, he was sitting in the tap-room of the Fountain
public-honse, near t Fie market-p:ace; there were three or
four other men in the room, and one w n. A Tnrk,
who had been drinking with one of his own country-
men in the parlour, came into the room with a large
heavy tobacco-pipe in his hand, such as is mostly used
by foreigners; he began to pull the woman about, and
wanted her to go with him into the parlour to drink ;
but she wished to be r used on the score of illness.
Finding her averse to his propositiani, the Turk began
to get passionate, and struck her a blow with his pipe
across the shoulder, which lacerated the flesh, and a se-
cond over the band, by which one of the fingers was
nearly dislocated, and the hand much swelled. Witness
seeing the woman so shamefully used, got up, and a
scuffle ensued between hint and the Tnrk; he could not
say whetlotr he drew his stiletto first, or whether he
(witness) struck hint with his fist, but rather thinks the
latter. -However, seeing the man armed with such a for
midrib's weapon, and apparently intent on mischief, he
drew his sword, and at tile first thrust which be modest
his opponent, the blade bent against a part of his equip-
meets, in consequence of the badness of the steel. The
clashing of swords brought the other Turk (whose
name lie had since learned to be Hassan liaissein) into
the tap-roin, and by his assistance witness was over-
powered and his sword taken from him ; but Huissein
did not offer him any violence. He made his escape'
front them into the street, and borrowed a stick flout
one of the neighbours, with which he was returning to
renew the combat, when he met the deceased and ano-
ther Artilleryman, to whom he represented the usage he
had received, and begged they would assist him to !re-
cover his sword ; at first they declined, hut witness
pressed them, sad said he feared the Tnrks might be
then tiering the People, on which the deceased drew,
and rushed with witness into the house. They met
Huissein in the passage coming out of the top-room,
and witness struck him a blow with the stick this he
confessed after some equivocation], which brong t his
on his knee; the Turk immediately drew his stiletto
from beneath his garment, and the deceased made a blow
at the weapon, with a view'(as he supposed), of striking
it out of his hand ; but the former by a dexterous move-
ment evaded the blow, and stabbeirthe deceased in the
lett side; his sword immediately fell front his grasp, and
clapping both his hands to the wound, lie staggered into
the street. The third soldier had been daring this time.
eniployed in persuading the Turk who had been the fo-
menter of the quarrel to leave the house, in which he
succeeded after much entreaty.
A multiplicity of other evidence was addnced, from,
