before Mr. Newton with feloniously cutting and wound-
ing Joseph Hill, a clerk on the Great Eastern Railway,
and thereby placing his life in danger. The evidence
of some witnesses, in addition to that of the pro-
rutor, proved that at :1 o'clock this morning they were in
the Canrobert public-house, Canrobert-street, Bethnal-
green ; that the prisoner was also there in a state of
udoxication, and used such gross language that an attempt
was made to expel him from one of the compartments.
This he resented with threats, and then by drawing
a long clasp-knife from his pocket, opening the
larger blade, and exclaiming, " Here is what will
settle any of you." A person named Wood told him that
but for being in liquor be would think nothing of squeezing
his neck as he would • rabbit, and another effort was
made to induce the offender to leave ; at length
he was ejected, and prosecutor was one of the
persons instrumental in effecting it. Subsequently pri-
soner of into the house a second time, but was forced out
by the landlord, and he then rushed into the
middle of the street and threatened to stab Mr.
Wood to the heart, at the same time boasting
that he bad enough steel for a dozen. Suddenly be made
a blow with his right hand at the prosecutor, and struck
him on the side of his head. As he put his hand down
the knife was seen in his band, and blood flowed
from the prosecutor. The witness Wood ran behind him,
and clasped his arms, another person his wrists, and
police constable Cox took the open knife from his hand.
Mr. Thomas Ralph, the H divisional surgeon of police,
stated that the wound had just escaped the temporal artery,
and was 4 inches in length. There had been a fearful flow
of blood.

The police said that et the station-house prisoner
glanced at persons who hod accompanied the charge there,
and raid he had his eye on them, and would do for them
yet. . _
