THE Swiss LEGION have signalised their arrival in
this country by an assassination at the Canterbury
barracks. On Sunday evening last, shortly after
nine o'clock, while the drummers and fifers were in
the infantry barrack square, Johnn Boch, a private
in the corps, proceeded across the square, and took
up one of the drums. Emanuel Elsner (the prisoner)
went up to him, and some words passed between
them, resulting in Boch putting down the drum and
slapping the prisoner's face. The latter stepped
back three paces, and took something out of his coat
pocket which he appeared to open, and then went up
to Boch and jobbed it into his breast several times,
while the latter kept striking the prisoner with his
fists. After going on a little way towards the barrack-
room Boch fell down, and while he was on the
ground the prisoner stabbed him in the belly two or
three times. He was carried into the barrack-room,
th., prisoner assisting in his removal, where he died
in about three miratts, afterwards. It was moonlight
at the time of the affllty, but two witnesses spoke
positively to the prisoner's identity as the man who
stabbed deceased. The deceased's coat was exhi-
bited in court, and excited a thrill of horror, there
being no less than eight cuts on the body and one
on the sleeve. On Tuesday Elsner was brought up
before the mayor and magistrates, charged with the
wilful murder of Boch, and the bench, after a brief
consultation; remanded the vrisoner tip xhursday.
