Mr. 3 ames Jameson, a respectable farmer, resident at
Loughconnolly, in the parish of Skirry, died on Monday
last, from the effects of having imprudently applied
vitriol to a corn on one of his toes which he had
just closely paired, thereby causing inflammation, which
extended to his entire foot and leg.—. Liverpool Mercury,
Feb. 4. The numerous and distressing accidents arising
from persons tampering with their corns and bunions,
induce us to call attention to the above case, and to
intimate to those suffering from them, that an innocent
and effectual remedy may be obtained from the celebrated
Chiropodist, Mr. Siemms, No 36, Slater-street, whose
testimt'nials from several of the nobility, clergy, &c.
(which we have perused), are of the highest order.
Although it is the month of February, 18.59, most
people admit we are living in hard times, hence it
should be the study of every one to ask themselves the
question, "How can I save my money ?" We reply,
without hesitation, buy your steel pens and other sta-
tionery, at E. T. Hall's wholesale steel pen warehouse.

[ADVERTISEMENT.)
THE ALLEGED ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN.
have just read the report of a charge of
assault, at the George's Dock-gates, in your police
intelligence of to-day's NORTHERN 'TIMES. Being
present at the time, allow me to state that no
assault was committed on the policeman, but the
reverse, and that the violence used towards Mr.
Thompson was unprovoked, and most outrageous.
Feeling it .my duty, I, together with four other
bystanders, went to the Police-court, to give evi-
dence, but the case had been disposed of. From
what I could see, Mr. Thompson was not drunk,
land had he not insisted on taking the officer's
number, I have no doubt no charge would have
been made. I may mention that the policeman
greatly neglected his duty, in not haring the chain
drawn across the bridge whilst the river side of it
was open. Trusting, for the sake of justice, you
will give a place to this, I am, sir, &c.,
Feb. 19, 1859. A BYSTANDER,

In reference to this case, we have been requested
to publish the following :
TO MR. THOMPSON.
_ _

Sir,—l shall be happy to give you every
assistance to bring No. 104 to 'justice, and further
obtain the evidence of several of my friends who
witnessed the assault made upon you. I am an
entire stranger to you and your friends, but,
considering the injustice done to you, it is my
duty to lay what I know of the affair before you,
the details of which I am prepared to swear to,
when called upon.
Between five-and-twenty minutes past ten and
half-past ten, on Thursday evening, while standing
at St. Geoe's dock gates (which were open when
I got there, I saw police-officer No. 104 assault
you as follows :—A small vessel entered the dock.
'When through, the gate was closed on the side on
which I was; the other remained open. When
closed, I saw police-officer No. 104 standing on
the opposite side, and end-to the chain the end

where the other portion of the bridge joins. Saw
you come on to the bridge, and stand about ten
feet on the bridge, Saw several people also on
the bridge, and stood just on within one foot of
where the chain hangs on the railing on the bridge
myself, with my country friends, while the other
portion of the bridge was coming to. Saw No.
104 turn round, and rush on to you, taking hold
of your collar with both his bands„ and push you
back with much force, and otherwise assaulting
you by striking you on the chest. Heard you ask
him for his number, and saw you take your pocket
book out to put it down. Being a straw,
