Page 3 . LATE FATAL AFFRAY. An inquest was held before the coroner, Mr Finlay, at the Police Office yesterday, on the remains of Henry Entwhistle, a painter, aged 65 years. From evidence adduced it appeared that deceased took advantage of the absence of a man named Francis Whilkes to insult his wife in a gross manner, upon learning which the latter left home to inflict a beating, &c , and meeting deceased about 7 p.m. accused him of the conduct mentioned, which he, however, stoutly denied. Wilkes then challenged him to open fight, which was also declined, whereupon Wilkes struck him with his fist once or twice about the head, knock ing him down, where he lay. Constable Murphy saw the whole affair from a short distance, but could not prevent the blows. Whilkes stooped to pick up the deceased, when the constable, thinking he was going to hit the man down, collared Whilkes, and on picking up Entwhistle found he was dead. The corpse was then carried to the dead house at the hospital. Dr Lever said the death was caused by extravasation of blood on the brain, from the rupture of a blood-vessel, caused by a blow over the ear, and not the result of a fall. The jury, in accordance, brought in a verdict that Henry Entwhistle came to his death from the result of a blow inflicted by the man Francis Whilkes. Whilkes, who up to this was present seated among the spectators, was then brought before the coroner in his magisterial capacity, and charged by Sub inspector Palmer with the manslaughter of Henry Entwhistle, and remanded, at that officer's request until the 7th
