THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT UN
GEOP.OZ SAGO, SHEPHERD TO MR. CACHES,
OP MILTON ABBAS.

At the nutistantee clerk's edos. Hiandford, before
J. J. Farquhar." Esq., Charles sue." Man" Dicker,
sad /Awls Dicker, wine brought tip on • warrant
ha with • mitrderoes emu% upon George Bag'
shamed
• lit July Let. From the evidence given it
appeared that on the day in question the two primaries
were on their way to Mr. Ceinites house, when they met
hie shepherd going to work. They were heti worse for
liquor, and had been ineeltiag every owl on their way.
As siterentioe arose between them and Begs, whom
they provoked by stating "they did not care for any
man no Mr. Csines's tans." To this Bag' replied "he
sapwood set one on his naskr's farm cared for them,
end if they risme down on th• following morning he
would Agit either of them." After more words had
passed "Hen" Dicker struck Bar* and thee both had
• set-to, Bag having the beet of it. They then separ.
abed, Bags going towards kin dock, and Dicker snaking
his way to his brother, who had sat down under •
hedge. The two Dieters thee lollowed Bate, end as
soon as they overtook him Edwin knocked him down,
and "Man" struck him with his lands, hoe twice
aorta his leg, and onoe aortas his fees. Whilst so
eeeepiesil they were men by MOW portion who were
pewee' near the spot, who came to the help of Eau,
and succeeded in getting him away from his cowardly
emilanta. Bagg then made his way in his crippled
Mete towards his work, and the parties who interfered,
supposing the Dickers had made off, also wtnt
away. As soon, however, as they were gene, the
Dickers .in perused Rau, who, seeing them,
endeavoured to get out of their way; but unfortn.
mutely, being eonsiderably tamed, did not succeed.
When they got op to Ithn they renewed the attack,
beating him about the heed with their hoes, and indicts I
log moist urines wetted. ; and there appears no doubt,
but for the timely assistance of some labourers working
vow the spot, would have taken his life. As it was be
was found in a most pitiable condition, blood streaming
down his face. and one of the guides of his leg cot iq
two. He was at one. removed to his home and medical
seststanee sent for, but it was not till after several Asp
that any hopes of his recovery were given. The Dickers
immediately decamped, and no true of them could be
found until lately. On Monday week, however, "Men"
D cher gave himself up to the police, and information
resulted the force that hts companion was at Ports-
mouth. He was at otsce apprehended, and they were
both brought before Lord Portman, who remanded
Arm till Saturday last. Evidence in confirmation of
U,. above having been given, the two prisoners were
committed for trial at the Dili arter Swelions.—We
may state that so serious are the injuries Base has
received that he appears to have nearly lost the use
of his side, and experiences great di/lenity both to see
and speak. Indeed, in all probability, he will never be
At for work again.
