EXTRAORDINARY AITZIIPT TO SHOOT A MAN ON
THE CLVDN.—About half•past eleven o'clock oc Saturday
forenoon, the smack Janet, of Furnace, was proceeding up
the river, having her small boat in tow, and when nearly
opi mite Duuglees Castle, a small boat, in which were two
men, ran foul of the smack's boat, which one of the men
clung to, for what purpose is unknown, but he thereby
nearly capsired he' own boot; to prevent which the
master of the smack, named Neil Henry, belonging
to Dunoon, threw a small piece of coal as the man
to induce him to let go, which he ultimately did,
and immediately after the second man (Stewart) pre-
sented a double-barrelled fowling-piece at the per-
son of Henry, and fired the two barrels deliberately in suc-
cession, one of the pellets (No. 4 shot) wounding Henry on
the left ear, and the body of both shots riddling the &LI of
the smack clone to the persons of Henry sod his assistant.
The assailanta then proceeded down the water, while Heury
in the meantime landed at Bowling, and proceeded per train
to DumVarton, and lodged information with the county
police. Superintendent Dunbar, haying despatched two con-
stables to reconnoitre on the north side of the river, readily
obtained the assistance of Sergeant Gordon of the burgh
police, and went out in a boat towards the mouth of
the Leven, where they descried the men and boat
wanted. On seeing the officers they ran their boat
into shallow water; the officers of course followed, but their
boat grounded when within forty yards of the men. Dun-
bar and Gordon, however, leapt into the water and secured
the two parties, notwithstanding the threatening attitude
assumed by one of them armed us lie was. The man who
fired the gun at Henry in this murderous manner is named
John Stewart, a shipwright by trade, 46 years of age, mar-
ried. and ban a family of ails children. His companion in
named Henry Morrison, an engineer by trade, 27 years of
age, and married. They both reside in Govan, and were
both under the influence of drink when apprehended.
They will be brought before the Sheriff of Dumbarton for
examination. They had a quantity of whisky in their boat,
and they state that they were out for the purpose of shoot.
