struck him about the head, I think. I exclaimed " Good God,

the policeman. Before I saw the knife in the prisoorei
hand, I saw the policeman bleeding from two or thy,
wounds on the head and one on the eye. Hie face wu
smothered with blood. Somebody reminded me that he
had a knife, and I seized his hand and twisted the ark
round, saying to the constable who was stabbed, "Take
the knife away from him." The constable did

of him as soon as he had got the knife. It is the same taw
produced. (A large bladed penknife with a white handle.)
Croce-examined by Mr. Lewis—The prisoner appeared
be in a very excited state of mind, and to be walking &boat
without any distinct object,.
Mr. Lewis—And the blow was given to the constable
without say provocation
Witness—Quite so.
Mr. Lewis—Did not even speak to him?
Witness—No.

To Mr. Henry—The countable who was wounded tr.,
brought to the stition with his head bandaged. It wa
then found that he was wounded in the side, and he wu
taken to the hospital.
Inspector West, of the F division—l was on duty at the
station-house in Bow-street when the prisoner was brought
there. The constable George Brown, 566 A, wan brought
in immediately after.
._ . .

Mr. Henry—Was he able to state the charge?
Inspector West—He was. lie stated—" From what I
heard from bystanders, to the effect that he bad a kaife
in his possession, I gradually made towards him. Before
reaching him he rushed at me and stabbed me." I asked
the constable, " With what '.^ and replied, " With s
knife." I asked him where it was, and he
handed me this knife. I observed blood on the 'idiom's
right hand. He appeared to be in a very excited state. I
saw the wounds ; two or three on Brown's forehead, aid
one on the right side. The coat was cut through.
He was bleeding from those wounds. I imme-
diately sent for Dr. Painter, and with him conveyed
I him to King's College Hospital. The prisoner did
not say anything at the station-house, up to the MOS
that 1 conveyed the constable to the hospital. At the
hospital Brown was stripped and I observed that he had
two other wounds on the left side.
To Mr. Henry—l should say the prisoner's excitement
did not arise from drink. He was perfectly sober.
To Mr. Lewis—From his manner and apparent state of
mind I thought it necessary to have some person to ramie
with him all night.
Dr. Richard Budd Painter. 33, Brydges-street, divisioeal
anzgeoe to the F division of police—At about half-paste
o'clock last night I was called in to see the constable, Geom
Brown, at the station-house. I examined him. He vii
pale and' faint from loss of blood. He bed an incised wooed
on the forehead, one beneath the right eye, one a tittle
below the breast bone, one on the left shoulder, and meat
the back of the left arm. Altogether five woands.

lam told he is better. Fortunately no vital part wss pene-
trated, and I believe be ie likely to recover. As to the
wound in the breast, the knife had passed through the two
bippels of his great coat, which are of very thick cloth, and
lined with canvas, and that prevented it from penetrating
more deeply.
Mr. Lewis—Have you examined the prisoner?
Dr. Painter—l had some conrusation with him this
morning. I believe that he is inane.
It was intimated that this was the cue for the mete
cation.
Mr. Lewis—Sir, on behalf of the prisoner's friends, I wish
to say that the prisoner has been under the are of It.

I only wish to state that' the defendant was noderhis arc.
and it was considered that recreation and amusement would
quite restore him. Unfortunately on this occasion he we
allowed to go by himself. My application to you is to know
whether you think this is a case in which the prisuer
might be admitted to bail. He would then be placed under
Dr. Winslow's cave, under proper medical treatment.

Mr. Lewis—Then I think I must call Dr. Winslow.
Dr. Forbes Winslow—l live at V, Cavendish... I
