Mr. Fricker, the long esteemed second in command, is

in acknowledgment of his affable and able services for many
years. Mr. Braithwate Poole,F.S.S., the late commandeur-
en-chef and founder of this gigantic structure, also leaves on
promotion to an office where mind alone will be diplo-
matically occupied, and no one will doubt his qualifications
for the highest post in railway business.
FEARFUL CASE OF STAI3BING.—On Saturday morning,

before Mr. Mansfield, a female, apparently about 22 yeais
of age, named Sarah Bolger, the daughter of a woman
who keeps a bad house in Preston-street, was brought up by
const Ale 580, on a charge of having stabbed a man,
named Donald Campbell, the owner of a house of ill-repute
in the same street. The complainant, whose face was
bound up, said he was walking in Preston-street, when the
prisoner came behind him, and without any provocation
from him, or without saying a word, struck him two blows
with a knife or some other sharp instrument in the nose.
He was very much injured and nearly fainted from loss of
blood. Mr. William Sayer, surgeon,, of the Northern
Dispensary, said, that at a quarter to twelve o'clock the
previous night the complainant was brought to that estab-
lishment; he was suffering from an incised wound on the
right side of the nose, an inch and a half long ; it had
divided the lateral cartilege of the nose, and had also
caused a compound fracture of the nasal bones. In reply
to Mr. Mansfield, the complainant said he had no quarrel
with the prisoner, but about a week ago there was a quarrel
between her and some of his people, but that was all.
The officer, in reply to his worship, said the prisoner ad-
mitted having struck the man, but not with a knife ; she
said she took up a handful of mud and flung it at him, and
there must be something sharp in it. The man positively
denied this statement. In reply to the bench the prisoner
said she was sitting on the steps of her own door, when the
complainant came up and insulted her, and then she flung
a handful of mud at him. Mr. Sayer said the man would
undoubtedly lose the bones of his nose; it was a dangerous
ease. The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
