CURTIS, ;he Rore-.-On the Coroner's In
quest, the two surgeons, and several other wit
neSses were examined. II appears that Cur
It's, groom, was literally beat to death bv
Edward Turner, leather-dresser. The fol-
lowing exainina ton and verdict of the jury
OF Inquest, we copy froma London paper of
the 10Th of October. The battle was fought
on the day before.
George Keat, Sicorn--'| am a printer, and
reside in Wine-oaice- court Fleetstreet I
was present at the battle on Tuesday the 22d
inst. between John Curtis and Edward Turner
upon Mouisey-Hrrst Ataboutthe 2Sth round
went 10 Curtis; told him that he had no
chance OF winning, that he had shown himself
to be brave little man, and il was pity he
should stand mp anylopger to be knocked TO
pieces. Curtis replied, ''I can't lose the bat
tie" Mr.. Grant, the umpire, and several 9th
ers, who pa'ronised the battle advised him to
leave oft, and they told Olvar not to suffer
him to fight any longer. Olivar did all he
could, hut could not get him 10 agree to his
wish; tor he replied, 'Eneyer will give in:
can't lose" On the Goth round Curtis received
n violent blow from Turner--who had him in
that situation that he could have killed him.
but he avoided him purposely and fell upon
him. Curtis was to all appearance insensible
he was carried TO the Red Lion, and put to
bed. L and last witness rubbed his BODY. and
sent for d surgeon, who came and bled him A.
bout half an hour after he left thefieIi IT is
my opinion that his extremities were dead
before he was taken to the Red Lion In
conversation which had with Curtis the morn
ing before the fight, / told him. that his health
was so bad that he had better forfeit the stake
and light some other time. He said his friends
had no occasion TO be afraid and he appeared
most sanguine of beating his adversary Every
eXertion was made by his seconds to diss,iade
him from continuing the fight from the 3eth TO
the 6oth round, and every means were used
and every attention was shcwn by the landlord
OF the Ned Lion, TO render assistance to the
deceased"
The Coroner addressed the jury AT con-
siderable length, and pointed out to them
that II was their duty bv their verdict to
prevent as much possible recurrence of
such an unlawful and dis@racefni practice.
Verdict, WGastaughter against EdioarI Tnr-
aeT.
