On NVerlitesday afternoon, as he was crossing one of his master's fields,. he met the prisoner, who asked him to fetch half a pint of beer. Ile consented, arid turned about to execute his errand, when the prisoner seized him round the !WJISI, and carrying hint to the mouth of an adjacent well, he plunged him in head foremost. The well hid seven feet of water in it, and it was with the utmost difficulty that he saved his life by holding fast by the sides and climbing up until he reached Ole top. Patrick, in his defence, said the complainant and other boys were constantly plaguing hint because he was the only Irishman among them, and he could get no peace of his life, The boy Emmett was particularly active, and was calling out " Arrali, Pa , ! which way does the bull run , ' &c. wherever he met him.

Mr. Alinshull.—But the least you could do was to hell) him out, Patrick. Patrick.—God blest your Honour, and so I would; but I only just stepped back a yard or two, to keep out of the splash that he made, and the urchin was oui-upoti dry land 111 the twinkling of a bed-post ! The d—l a bet p he wanted, depend upon it. The patrol who apprehended the prisoner said, that when he asked him why he adopted such a strange mode of punishment, his answer was, " Why, you see, I did not like to take the Jaw into my own lipids and beat him with a stick, and so I just soused him lino the well by way of a corder." The blagistrateoliserved, that he would recommend tlu: prisoner to try a different method :mother time. ,If the boy had been drowned, he would have stood its a very dangerous situation.
