ILAONTSATI, AT cizazeinniz..
A number of cases of larceny penal were tried
before the Assistant Judge, bet they were of an ordinary
character.
wow U. WIT/LIX.
James Minn, 22, militiaman, was indicted for unlaw-
fully and maliciously cutting and wounding James Nevi%
a I,9bn-constable of the O division.
On the morning of the 16th inst., about two o'clock, the
prisoner was in Aolden-lava, in uniform, and a policemen
who was on duty there noticing some one standing at a desk
corner, turned on his bull's-eye to see who it was. Fealties
it was a militiaman, he went his way, but the prisoner, quite
indignant that one of the police should presume to tern his
light upon him, followed, using the most dreadful language.
The prosecutor was on duty in Oldotreet, and it would
seem that the prisoner mistook him for the one who had
given him offence. He said "You —, I have got a bit et
cold steel for you here," and drawing his bayonet he rushed
at him before he could draw his truncheon to defend bier
self. In parrying the thrusts which the prisoner made at
him he received several stabs on the left hand, but at last
he contrived to seize the weapon. A struggle then took
place, which the prisoner had the hest of, and the prow
cator received several other stabs. Au alarm being given
the prisoner ran away, but he was punned, and in his
flight he threw his bayonet into a square. He was speedily 'I
captured.
The jury foundihe prisoner Guilty.
Dir. Witham said this was another instance of the great
impropriety of the authorities allowing these undisciplined
militiamen to carry their bayonets about with them. In the'
Guards none but the sergeants and corporals were allowed I
to do so, and it was meek to be regretted that after the ez-
misses they had had of the mischief arising from the mt•
itiamea carrying their weapons in the attacks they had
made on unarmed and unoffeudieg citizens, that the proper
authorities did not at ones put a stop to the practice. These
anal were now becoming (request, but it would be well if
the militiamen were made aware of the determination of the
awn to punish nit conduct with increased severity. The
sentenes was that the prisoner be kept to bard labour for
nine mouths.
fiery Tenser, 35, was indicted for unlawfully attempting
to stab Jacob Turner, her husband.
The prisoner, a dissipated and desperate-looking wawa,
lived with her husband, a general dealer, at 2, Wentworth-
street, flpitaidelds, and on the 11th instant she west home
drunk end attacked him with a knife, and then after he
had wrested that from her, with a fork. She was given
into esslsiy.
