in in to Mr. Austin, of Northumberland-street. On

ing near St. John's-wood. where the deceased and one
Richard Fay were misplayed. Is consequence of
Mr. Austin being from town, the deceased bad to
look after the workmen ; and Fay coming one
morning very late to his work. the deceased remon-
strated with him, and said he should come sooner to
his work ; this ceased words, and after a quarrel,
the mason, Fay, challenged the deceased to fight him:
the deceased refused, saying if he was to do so be
would beat him. Fay was determined to fight, and
they did so is the field ; but the deceased drawing
first blood. Fay gave in. After this the deceased said
they would be friends. and Fay shook beads with
him ; they had something to drink together at the
Baffalu's Head ; they returned to work, and about 12
o'clock witness was accompanying the deceased on his
way home to dinner, together with Fay ; witness walk-
ed behind the deceased, and on arriving opposite tie
linrnpike-gate, near the Nightingale public-house
near Liason-prove. Fay took up a stone (now pee-
*iced) and gave the deceased a most violent blow with
kas the back part of the head. The deceased, from
tbe shock of the blow, gave a great jump, and reeling.
611 to the ground on his face. Fay then threw the
atone at his bead with force, and said, " there, you
lake that," and ran off as fast as he could. The de-
mand was quite senseless, sad the bleed gushed from
.his wee and ears ; he was speechless. He was carried
4* a doctor's in Uloncester-place, where he was dressed
sad sent to his lodging's at the Buffalo', Head. The
wren' gave him medicine; be was unable to walk.
Coming along, the deceased and Fay spoke together,
bat did not quarrel. The deceased was not aware
that Fay was going to strike him with the stone; n,.
`Mars, save with the stone, passed as they were comiak:
Mess the fields.
James Hatton deposed that the deceased was sense-
less at tied octor's shop; he was a healthy, sober young
man, and never knew him to have a day's illness prior
to the blow he received from Fay. who was an Irish-
man, and resided at No. 7, Oxford-buildings. Oxford-
street.
Other witnesses were examined, who corroborated
lie above testimony.
The Jury at one o'clock, returned a verdict of Wil-
ed Murder against Richard Fay, and the Cenpser
hared his warrant for his apprehension. Fay has
aikialstlad since the transaction took place.
