Yesterday evening an inqui.iiion was held at the Red Lion
public house. Old tiethiem, Ilishopagate street, before Thom**
4hetton, Esq. upon the body of Thomas Carrell. of No. 12,
Baker's buildings, Bishop gate street, who met his death in a
boxing match, on Sunday, Oct. 26, near the Rosemary Branch,
Islington. It appeared that some previous dispute had existed
between the two young oleo, and they and their woman:role
agreed to settle it by a pugilistic combat for a sovereign enc'i,
the melancholy result of which terminated in the death of ono,
and the future tranquillity of mind of the other for ever die-
, turbed. The first a itnevs called was Benjamin Sarson. a youth
about 17 years, who stated that he resides at IS, Grab street;
is a butcher, and lives with his brother; the deceased cniir,i
upon him on Sunday morning, the26th of October lest, about
seven o'clock, and invited him to go and see a fight between
him and John Turner; he went with him, and was accompa-
nied by Geo. Owens and Joseph Birch; when they arrived on
the ground the money was deposited in the hands of o.owene.
The deceased was seconded by Ed. Jones and another person
whom lie did not know. Turner was seconded by John Smith
and a briekinaker, whose name he could not tell. The fight
was a fair stand up one, and lasted 50 minutes; there being no
foul play on either side attempted to be shown. The deceased
received a blow under the ear, which knocked him senseless on
the ground: he was then carried to the public house, where ad-
mittance was refused them; they then took him to another.
where a medical gentleman ordered him to be kept warm ; they
then brought him to Dr. Heath, of Shoredi ch, who bled him in
the arm, and gave him some medicine; very little blood eame
from his arm, and what did was black ; they then got a coach to
convey him home, when his father met them.
Joseph Birch, li, Rope makers' street, Finsbury square.
another youth about 17 years of age, stated that his father was
a dealer in saffron and saffron cake baker ; he corroborated the
testimony of the foregoing witness, and further slotted that he
carried a letter from the deceased to Turner a few days before
the fight.—[Tbe letter vas here put in and read by the Coroner.]
The following is a correct copy :
No. 12, Baker's buildings, Oct. 14, ISM

" John Turner—As I am at a great losstoaccount for your
cowardly conduct, I take the liberty to address yot' in the un-
derstanding that you Intend to strike me when you next meet
me. If I strike you again, H. Heard and another intend to
thresh me. Now knowing them to be mere skilled in the art
than myself, I shall Cecline hosing any thing to do with thens;
but should you fulfil your promise I will exert myself as well
as I possibly can.—P.S. I do hereby chndenge you to igat at
any time. except to night, for fire, ten. er fifteen shillings, or
a sovereign ; and should any of them strike me I will imme-
diately give them in charge, and likewise give them a month or
more at the renowned tread mill.

" I sin, with the greatest contempt. your antagonist.
"THOMAS CARRA LT.."
The witness further stated that he erns acquainted with the
deceased's hand writing. and that the letter now reed was the
identical one he received from him, and which he delivered to
Turner.
S. Reed, M.D. No. 4. Jewin street. deposed that on
the evening of the 21ith Oct. he was sent for by the father of
the deceased, and on the following morning he attended, and
found the deceased in an insensible state, arising from the Witt-
ries he bad received—that the temporal muscles on the left side
of the bead and down the neck were very much bruised; his
eyes were discoloured and swollen much ; there were other
symptoms, not so much from ententel ♦iolence as the compre-t-
-ston or concussion of the brain ; that an inflammation of the
brain•succeeded, and ins fortnight they were obiiged to confine
him with a straight waistcoat and tie him down ; that he ex-
pired on last Tuesday evening. after which be opened his head.
and found about three ounces of coagulated blood ; that be be-
lieved the inflammation, which w as the cause of his death, was
brought on by external violence.
The Coroner briefly addressed the Jury, who in a few mi-
nutes returned a verdict of Manslaughter against John Turner,
as principal, and Edward Jones and John Smith, as aiding and
assisting. Jones and Smith, who were in the room upon tiro
return of the verdict, were immediately taken into custody:—
Turner has absconded.
