(a treat many of when win preeset), appeared far the pro-
'gentian.

Tm Mercator, whose face was dreadfully bruised and
laourated, and who bad two frightful black eyes, was sworn,
and said—l am master of thie City of London Union Work-
house, la Bow-read. Yesterday, be the =scud= of my
duty, I was attending the Board of Guardians at 61, Bt.
Mary-axe. 1 know the poisoner wholly wall. Hs was an
inmate of our workhouse yesterday morning, and was
dietharged by an order of the committee, dated
the day previous. A man named Wilcox discharged himself
at the asses limn I left the board about four o'clock yester-
day aftemoon, =A was in the act of getting into the van to
Mum to Bow, when the prisoner and Wilcox suddenly came
from wader the horses' beads. The prisoner maid to Wilcox,
" Here's the --, Charley, give it him." He immediately
flew at ms, amt began to strike ma on the face. I stepped
back • few paces into the middle of the road and defended
myself as well as I could. They closed upon ma, threw me
down, mad I was severely kicked in the chest and left breast.
The prisoner pared my face with his open head sad tried
to tear my eyes oat of their sockets. They gam ins repeated
blows in the eyes. • sea who wee pawing cams to
my amistenos, whoa the prisoner celled out to
Ist ths alms, yea don't know who he is." Hs
tafsafn called out " Givs it him, Charley," and they both con-
ned to strike me in the foes until a man who is now in
court interfered, and prevented their doing me any further
isjm. Oa the previous day I had made a statement to the
B that oaM qmirdiana, in tlss prisoner's memos, to the effect
be ha not availed himself of two offers of employment
out of doors, and it was in consequence of that communica-
tioa that the committee ordered him to be discharged from
the workhome. I did not touch him before he struck me,
and I thin may defended myself.

pot say question to the witness P
