George Eytm, a fly.tnaster, of lio.l,Wurtemburg-ploce,
Clapham, was charged with stabbing Mr. Thomas Lewis, a
saddler and harness maker, carrying on business in High-
street, Clapham.
The medical certificate of Mr. J. Tapson was produced.
It stated that Mr. Lewis bad received a wound in the arm,
and that from the nature and extent of the injury, it would
not e proper for him to leave home.
Dawes, 18.5 V, said—This morning, about ten minutes to
2 o'clock, I was on duty in High-street, Clapham, directly
opposite the Two Brewers public-house. I heard some one
hallooing " Police." I crossed over to the Two Brewers,
when I saw tho prisoner and three others. Mr. Lewis
was present ; his arm was bared, and had a wound in it
three inches in length ; it had evidently been done by a
knife or some sharp instrument, and the blood was pouring
profusely from it. Mr. Lewis gave the prisoner into my
charge. Mr. Allnutt's coachman was present, and he said
that the prisoner had stabbed Mr. Lewis, but he did not see
him inflict the wound. I afterwards found a clasp knife in
the prisoner's pocket. The witness handed the knife to
Mr. Deaden ; the blade was completely stained with blood.
Mr. Deaden remanded the prisoner, taking bail for him
in two sureties in 201. each, and himself in 401.

grakets were turned inside-out, and no money was found on

with hY death through foul play. Several persons have
been apprehended on a charge of being concerned in the
