explained, ind we made it all right, and est down together

int.. • lighting attitude, when I, fearing anise treatment
similar to what the cat had received, jumped into a burgs
alongside. The cabmen wascoming down the ladder and
I heard the prisoner my, “Oci down," galling the cabman
by a low appellation, and saw him twist the ladder round,
mil throw him into the water. I laid down on my
belly in the barge, and tried to get hold of the cabman,
but it being blab water, he sank three slam I, however,
at the last moment, succeeded in catching him by the hair,
and held him (mahout gut minutes, when a boy from the
brig came to my assivtanco. Ikea after the master and the
prisoner came and aided me in drawing the prosecutor out
of the water. He was in • very exhausted state ; in fact,
between life and death.
Prisoner here said the cabman was drunk.

Md. Humphery (to witness)—ls that true.
Witness—No, your worship ; the cabman was perfectly
sober.
Geo. Chase. cabin boy on board the brig—l did not me
the cabman fall, but saw him in the water, and satiated in
getting him out. The prisoner did not touch the ladder,
which broke as prosecutor was descending. The ladder had
sine* been spliced. The cat was not killed, but is alive on
board still. I saw prisoner point a knife at it, but he did
not touch it. They were all drunk together.
Benjamin Theater, the captain of the brig, said—l did
not see the cabman fall overboard, but assisted in drawing
him out. There was no fear of hie being drowned, as he
was sticking in mud in three feet of water, and did not sink
at all. . _ .

Alderman Humphery (alter referring to the Almanac)
maid that could not have been the case, as it was high water
at 10 o'clock on the night of the 2nd of January, only an
boor and a half prior to the occurrence of this affair. As
this is an indictable offence, I shell call upon you (the
captain) to enter into your own recognisanees to appear and
produce the cabin buy again on the next examination, (or
1 intend to remand the prisoner.
The cabman said he had suffered considerably during
the last six weeks in consequence, having caught cold, and
being therefore incapacitated for work; ho was now lite-
rally in a starving condition.
Alderman Hoot phcry awarded him 2a. 6d. from the poor-
box to meet his present neoesaities, and then remanded the
prisoner.

Mr. Pelham appeared on behalf of the firm, and stated
that the defendant was in the seventh year of his appren-
ticeship, and in eons. quenee of the strike of tho engineers
each ill-feeling had been created that itwes scarcely possible
to carry on the business with propriety. The prisoner
seemed to have identified himself with the disaffected party
and gave great trouble and insolence to the men, who are
quiet.
James Winterborne stated that yesterday morning, whilst
at work after breakfast, some one threw a broken bolt and
a I otot screws, which caught him on the back of the head
and caused • great lump. Ho turned round and saw the
prisoner laughing at him. The bolt came from the direc-
tion of the prisoner, who was eight or nine feet distant. He
went and complained to Mr. Blythe, who desired him to
noint the party out, and as he was returning the prisoner
throw an oil can at him.

Mr. Pelham—There aro several other complaints.
Prwoner—l do not belong to any society, nor did I throw

Mr. Ingham said he should adjourn the further bearing
until the following day and took the prisoner's brother as
bail In 201. for his appearance.

parry outside.
