William 'ley, under.hostler at the Swan Inn in
Chertsey. was married on the Bth of August last.
In the evening of that day some interruption was
given to the harmony of the new-married couple
and their friends, by two young men, who threat
a stone at the duor where Cie wedding was kept.
%Valletta Vincent, the son of a butcher in that
town, coming by at the time, was *assailed by
lley'a party as thesupposed Aggressor. This pro-
duced a quarrel between li;in and Iley, so much
so, that Vincent next day watched !ley, going to
his business at the Swan, and beat him so unmer-
cifully as to break one of his ribs, and censisl se.
veral contusions un his head ; he *as conveyed home
anddied the next Sunday. A Coroner's Inquest was
afterwards held un the body, and numerouswitnesses
were examined to state the particulars of the cir.
