his pocket, opened it, and made a stab or cut at him; the
blow, however, was happily avoided, but prisoner planted
himself firmly against a wall and defied every attempt
made to get hold of him or the knife from his hand until
someone adopted the novel expedient of flinging a jack
or roller towel over his head and pulled him from his
position.
Prisoner now said that he bad no intention to steal the

Mr. Ellison intimated that without alluding to the
motive of that act there was one act prisoner had been
guilty of that could not be too strongly reprehended that

himself as being a pedlar living in Crown-oourt, White-
chapel, bad been brought to the police-station by Constable

incapable of taking are of himself, in York-street, York-
gad, Lambeth, at 4 o'clock this morning. He was placed
in a cell, and appeared to be well in health, and walked
about and talked with ease, but at 8 o'clock be Ina found
dead in the cell. The divisional surgeon was sent for, and
GI his arrival pronounced that the man had died from
apoplexy, produced by excessive drinking. The inspector
added that he had communicated the occurrence to the
wooer, and an inquest would be hell.
Mr. Burcham said that under such circumstances he
should erase the case from the charge sheet.
