FATAL AFFRAY.-As we were passing down the
evee, on Saturday afternoon, the Third District
we observed great commotion on board the ship
LaIla Rookh, and presently saw crowd Of half
naked longshOremen, stripped for work in the ships
hold, awfulIy hot and dirty place. coming ashore
carrying man. shirtless, like themselves, and who
appeard to be dead They laid him the banquette,
in the shade at the foot Of Barracks street. and COM
menced washing his head with brandy Upon inquiry.
we found that bis name was Richard Morrissey, and
that he was foreman of a stevedore's gang. 1t APP
peared that he had been struck on the top Of the
head with a stick Of wood by one Daniel Sullivan,
drayman, who was at once arrested by Mr.. Jules
Dser and taken to the Second District guardhouse.
There was blood on the head of the wounded man.
and he appeared to have been only stunned for
whilst the crowd were doctering him, be came too,
talked eoolly and drank with apparent relish some
\ brandy that was put to bis lips. Seeing this we

Morrissey's death. The blow on his head, though
boodess proved atal blow at last, We did not hear
Of any inquest being held the body last night and
are unable to give any particulars Of the difficulty
which preceded tue homicide. The deceased was q
