Brown was stabbed twice under the right ear, and
knocked to the ground, stunning him for a moment.
I Emery then knelt on him, and inflicted several more
stabs, one in front of the throat and several on the
breast. His victim recovering consmeesness, almost
immediately attempted •i prevent his striking him, as
he thought. The weapon entering his hand, he
realised for the first time that he had been stahhed,
and called out to that effect. Emery decamped, re-
marking "I've waited two or three weeks for this
chance," but was sneered shortly afterwards near
her 'Majesty's prison. Mr. Brown WWI able to
walk to his home. No lees than ten wenntle
had been inflicted, three of which were serious.
The assailant, Caleb Emery, is a rather eccentric
character, who has for some months past been in the
habit of shaving people At the varket-crnee. A few
weeks age he lost his second wife, and has mince then
been frequently heard to threaten • doctor of the
town and his landlord, Mr. Brown. Latterly Emery's
movement have been meanie 1 with suspicion by the
members of the Brown family, who have e,eephiined
to the police of his following them about.
