MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A
CLERGYMAN,

A desperate scene was enacted on Saturday, at the
Bath Guildhall. An engineer named James Wheeler,
was summoned by the Rev. William iVilliamson, of
Fairetone Orphanage home, Macaulay.bnildings, Ilath,
for a violent assault. The complainant, sine,' his sec, nt
retirement from active clerical duty, has engaged him'
self in a sari. t ~, of philanthropic works, and in theceurre
of their performance had procured, at the yr (pleat of
Wheeler's wife, the admission of his two children into
Mr. Fleming's orphanage at Edinburgh. Wheeler, aho
had been in hospital for an affection of the head, went
to Mr. Williamson's house, d manded his children, and
then commenced a runst savage attack on the reverend
gentleman, swearing "he would be he death," and it.
Meting upon his forehead arms char king gashes with
the pointed end of an umbrella. Mr. Williannaon was
covered with blood and fell fainting. A young lady
living close by, named Odell, gallasidy ruehed to the
rescue, but she we felled to the ground, and was so
badly hurt that she ha fite during the whole night,
and Wheeler also attacked the complainant's wife. He
cohtinued swearing he would carve tae death of the
whole of them.

Oa being eharged at the Guildhall with the samara
and threat, he said to the magistratee, "I mean to kill
him. too," and eoadneted himarlf with much violence.

cOmpisinant Paid his only 01-j--ot wee pro e,tinn,
not punishment ; and the Bench bound the defendant
over to keep the peace, Licacelf in I:50, and two
sureties in 1:25 each, for six month. As he wae in
default of suretiee he WBS about to be removed in
custody, and then a scene of violence occurred. Ile
at Ores howed defiant:le and fight, threatemis g to
murder any policeman who night c.pproack
him. Several polio Inert thereupon eesayeil to
secure him, in order to reetrain him from doing
any ,(rem grievous bolily berm, when, again
threatening them, he dr.,' from his pocket what wag
at first thought to be a pistol, hot turned out to he
• newly eharpened Gillet), and deliberately endeavoured
to run it through the bodies of 'octant w Sutton
and Constable Davits. It was with the Olin at
diffi:ulty, but with much tact, that they managed
to parry Lis blows. The public ruthed frAn their
Feats in coin to the scene of Llano. and porno
of the inegietrates also went to the aid of the at.
'ark, it policemen ; hot come more core aldee hatkig
bactcned to the hall door, where the elf.ety occo-red,
they eventually succeeded in overpowering the fellow,
holding him down, and wrestim: the chicel from his
! graep. lie was then convoyed to the cells below, and
afterwards taken in • cab to the city gaol, it being
necoeettry to have an racort of p dicemen to prevent
any further violence.

DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE

uSAJIIIAR SCHOOL.

The annualsmeeting for the distribution of prizes was
held at the Grammar School, on Thursday morning, Mr.
E. Westwood in the chair. Among the ladies and gen-
tlemen present were Mrs. Westwood, Mrs. Scott, Mrs.
Firmstone, Mrs. U. Pearson, Miss Pearson, Miss Dixon,
Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Perry (Market-street), the Misses
Thomas, Miss Maginnir, the Revs. J. J. Welch, J. S.
Boldero, D. Maginnis, R. Eland, Messrs. E. Freer, G.
Pearson, F. Swindell, F. Westwood, T. Perrens, D. Tho-
mas, Goddard, .ughty,
The Chairman, on rising, said it was with very great
pleasure he bad the honour to appear before them as
chairman of that meeting. He hoped they would forbear
with him with what little he had to do, and he would do
the best he could. The difficulties of that position were
very much lightened by the success which the school had
attained. At the time Mr. Welch came there, there were
only 27 boys in the school, and at the present time there
were 8:). The increased number of boys has been con-
tinuous, with the exception of one or two yeses. He
thought the peorle were highly indebted to Mr. Welch,
Mr. Goddard, and Mr. Doughty (the three masters) for
the able manner in which they had conducted the
school. They would bear in mind that Mr. Welch wee
appointed on Trinity-Monday in 1858, and he was there
12 mouths before Mr. Goddard, who came in 1859. and
dlr. Doughty in 1861. Each had thus nearly served an
apprenticeship in conducting the school. He could go
further, and recollect the time when the bead-master of
the school had no boy under him, and if any lad was 60
unfortunate as to come under the second master lie al-
ways got well thrashed until he left the school. He re-
collected that very well—(laughter). He would not
trouble them with any further remarks, but call upon
dlr. Welch to reed the report.

The Rev. J. W. J. Welch, head•master. then reed the
following report:—

21 bushels of malt, and about SOlb of hops. In the
brewhouse found brewing going on, and every conveni-
ence like a public•house.—Police•constables Walton and
Poole corroborated.—Mr. Stokes, who appeared for the
defendant, accounted for the presence of the brewing
utensils, &T., by the fact that defendant formerly kept a
licensed house, and load that the men who were there
were workmen, and that he should prove no sale took
place. He then called Solomon Brooks, Abraham FOIL
and Thomas Little.—After hearing the evidence, the
Bench said it was an important case, and they should
