LAW on Saffron-hill. On the police going to the

that on Saturday night some Italians were ejected from
the house for making use of abusive language, and last night
some of them entered the tap-mom for the avowed purpose
having revenge. Whilst there they abused some English-
r.en, broke the seats, and were proceeding to further seta
of violence, when Mr. Shaw went to the door
and called in Detective Fawell, 42 A ; but before he got
to the taproom loud cries of murder were heard. Oa enter-
in; it he found an Italian named Sutphin! Policia',
a picture frame-maker, straggling with some men. At that
Lenient Alfred Ribbeck, the potman, said he had been
stabbed by Polioei, and blood was Bowing from his right
side. I:swell took the man into custody, and he then ascer-
tained that the prisoner had stabbed three other men,
tamed Michael Harrington, Charles Bannister, and William
King. The man Ribbeck was found to be so dangerously in-
jured that be had to be conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital,
where Mr. J. D. Hill, the resident medical officer, expressed
an opinion that the wound would prove fatal, on which
Inspector Potter, and Acting-Inspector &Jacek 1 G,
attended with the prisoner, and Ribbock pointed him out as
the perms who bad stabbed him. The prisoner betrayed not
the slightest emotion, and treated the matter with the
greatest iedifferenox Before the prisoner was removed
from the Royal Free Hospital, information was brought that
the man Sarricima was dying in St. Bartholomew's Hos-
pital, sod apes going there, it was found that he had been
stabbed very badly in the stomach, and that his bowels pro-
traded. This unfortunate man also pointed out the prisoner
as the man who had stebbed him, but although his deposi-
tion was taken, Harriogton said that he would not sign the
p.iper, as he freely forgave the primmer, and he hoped God
...mid too. Neither Harrington nor Ribbeck were expected
to survive the night. The other two men stabbed by the
prisoner were attended to at the Royal Free Hospital, but

metered of such a dangerous nature as to detain them in the
hospital
