INQUEST ON THE LATE JOHN MAL LAY (Continued.)

Mr Dalgleish continued his evidence by saying that there were about twenty persons present; he heard one man call out '' boot him," beat the b —. He also heard some fearful blows given, and saw a man come out of the crowd and kick him on the upper part of his body. Witness cried out " shame, shame." Mallay then got up and fought again ; but when he found himself overpowered he said he would give in. He afterwards said he would cut his throat rather than give in. He then struck at any person near him, and fell about ten times. Witness then went into the hotel, while the row continued out side. He saw Mallay again in Godkin's stable on the 2nd of January, at ten in the morning. His face was in a terrible state, and he could see dimly out of one of his eyes. Witness washed his face, and applied cold water. Dr Herbert was also in attendance, and examined Mallay, and thought that he sustained internal injuries. He got him in a sitting position, took off his shirt, and saw numerous marks and bruises about his body. Cross-examined by Mr Joy : On the Mon day he was apparently quite sound, and he was inclined to think that the deceased was kicked in the face. Mr Godkin was, witness believed, behind the fence in his own garden at the time. His house was closed, and the row was on the Great South Road. Deceased never stated that Mr Godkin had ill-used him, but thanked him for his kindness. His falls on the broken metal were fearful in the e>creme.

George Sutton, a navvy working on the Dniry railway, was at Godkin's on the 31st December last, and saw John Mallay in the back-yard of the hotel. Captain Snell and Mr Godkin were together in front of the hotel. Mr Godkin ran into the bar, as Mallay had a stone in his hand, and was approaching in a threatening attitude, and said he wotilcl kill Godkin. The barman then took hold of Mallay, and he dropped the stone. Deceased then went inside the bar, when Mr Godkin gave his barman orders to clear the pots away ; he then took up a pot, and threw it at the deceased, but he could not say whether the pot struck Mallay or not. Captain Snell and the barman were in the bar at the time. Deceased then turned to Captain Snell and asked his name, saying "Did you see that?" Blood was oozing from Mallay's forehead, but he could not say that it was caused by the pot. Some men then led him away. He was much in toxicated at the time, and walked unsteadily. Cross-examined by Mr Joy : Mallay held a stone about the size of his fist, and said he woidd have Godkin's life ; he was greatly excited. He was sure that the deceased was not knocked down by the pot, as he had stated in his depositions. There <was blood on deceased face before the pot was thrown. Mr Godkin went out in search of a police man.

Philip Cogan, barman at the hotel, de posed that, on the 31st December, Mallay came to the hotel and wanted dinner, of which, when prepared, he refused to partake. He went away, but returned in about ten minutes ; he had something to drink, and pre sently he saw him fighting with a man named Skelly. He did not see a pewter pot thrown by MrGodkinashadbeenstated. DrHerbert was present and asked Mallay to " shout" which he refused to do, using at the same time very foul language, and striking the doctor over the eye. Richard Walsh said that on the evening in question Mallay came to his house holding a handkerchief to his eye; he was then under the influence of liquor. Upon the handker chief being removed witness observed cuts over each eye, and a scar on the right cheek. He stayed at witness's house until the fol lowing evening. They then went to the hotel together where Mallay became very quarrelsome, saying he had not met with fair play on the previous night. He then left. Henry Edward Herbert, a qualified medical practitioner of the Queen's Redoubt, was then examined, and gave similar testimony to the

above. The enquiry was then adjourned until Tuesday next, at eleven a.m.
