against the wainscotting, where he stood for some than ••
if stunned by the blow. The same evening be died.—Mr.
Phillips, the landlord, said that from the stupid
of Brough and Nash, be was almost convinced the== Brough

money, and bud offered a witness, named Eves&' a pseud

they intended to committbe robbery.—Alderman Moen said,

it from Mr. Brewster, exclaiming "You have set get
it this time, and he
.put it into his mouth and wal-
lowed,-it. Mr. Jeffries seized him by the throat to pre-
vent him swallowing it, on which Morrison made a
furious attack upon him, and attempted to choke him,
when they both fell down, and after a violent struggle they
were separated and the prisoners were given into custody.—
Curtain seemed to be suffering much from the injury he
received iu swallowing the bad crown piece. The prisoner
having destroyed the midi nee by putting away the counter-

Hill wa: re-examined, charged with thrusting an iron skewer
into the body of George Hardaway, who was conveyed is the
hospital after the infliction of the injury, the circumstances
attending which have already appeared in this
Policeman Berry stated that on calling at the keepihl to
inquire how Hardaway was getting on, he was inftneed
that he had quitted the ward without the emetics er
knowledge of the medical gentleman under whom are
he was placed. That he (Berry) subsequently raw
Hardaway in the nei_hbourhood where he sew
tamed the injury, and in alluding to the subject
told that pens= that he was to attend that day the mem-
mination of the man accused with having wounded him.—
Hardaway, in reply, expressed his determination not to be
preterit in court, observing that Hill (the prisoner) was an
old acquaintance of his, and although he had inflicted a
serious injury upon him, yet that he would not prosecute
him. The policeman added that Hardaway appeared to
be extremely ill, and seemed to walk with dlifficulty,—
Mr. Cottingham, addressing the prisoner, observed that it
was miraculous he did not inflict a fatal injury on the man
Hardaway, it baying been stated before him that he thrust
three inches of the iron skewer into his body, a little obese

the man was better, but it wan impossible as yet to ray with
any degree of certainty as to how it might terminate. Ile
had foolishly quitted the hospital, where he was soh"
medical care, without the knowledge of the surgeon. Ham
such circumstances, he (the magistrate,) could not slew a
man like the prisoner to escape from the consommes'
of such an attack as that he made upon his Mead
with a dangerous instrument such as that predrill,—
The prisoner here exclaimed—" Bat, your worship, I did
notintend doing it ; it began in a lark ; he matt=

that if a medical certificate was procured, describing Ifteb an
dangerous symptoms were likely to arise, tosether_olit
fact of Har&way'a disinclination to we hoesethstenro

adopt a different eons to that which he first in ed. He
should remand him for a few days, and in the meantime he
should issue his warrant for the apprehension ef the
wounded man togive evidence, as be refused te some
forward when directed to do so.—The ease was then ordered
to stand over.
