It appeared that ill blood has existed between the parties fur a leogth of time, in COIIaffitICIICP of Mr. Maddox bring. tug au :whoa against Mr. Baker. in which he proved success ful, and the vehement expeessiou of much angry feeling was the natural consequente wherever tney met. On Sunday. shout It o'clock, it unfortunately h a ppened th a t 11.. 7 me t NI a bouse in the neighbourhood of King.strert, Borough, and here the old grievance was renewed, and discussed with much warmth till the Prisoner left the house. The Com plainant (it was proved) followed him along the street, call ing him many very provoking names, getting in his way, and apparently daring him to fight. Mr. Maddox endea voured to shun hien, but finding this impossible be lifted up his umbrella, and gave hum a violeat thrust with it iir the eve, which instantly produced a stream of blood, and he continue.: heating him with it in different parts of the body till be laid him prostrate. They were then separated, and Mr. Maddox was disarmed, but his antagonist bring iusen sible was carried to the Hospital. Mr. Cooper, of Guy's Hospital, nephew to Mr. Astlry Cooper, stated, that the wounded man was brought there in a lifeless stat►, and bleeding profusely. There wan a wound over the eye, where the point of the umbrAla entered, which fractured the bone, but would not, in has opinion, mate rially affect the orb of light. The seventh rib on the left side was also fracture/I ; but it was impossible to ascertain the extent of the injury till the couseqnent symptom, took place:who+ had nut yet happened; however the bruises were such as might (notwithstanding their present appear ance) terminate fatally. In answer to some further ques tions, Mr. Cooper said his patient was better then than on \Sunday, but he was still in great jeopardy. Mr. Price, the Solicitor, addressed the Magistrate on he• half of the Defendant, and said that the punishment he hail alrently undergone wax sufficient, and hoped he would admit him to trail, with which he was provided to any amount. After some desultory conversation, Mr. Allen asked if the Complainant would be able to attend, or could be declared ont of danger in a week or ten days? In answer to which the Surgeon said it was very dotibtful. The Magistrate ulrserv►d, that wider all the circum stances he could ►ee no reason for refusiat to admit Mr. Maddox to hail, hot it would be very heavy.
