STABBING BY A MILITIAMAN.—ScarceIy had the ex-
citement naturally caused by tke case of stabbing by a
militiaman died away, ere we are again called upon to
announce a similar but mere diabolical attack by
another of a militia body upon a civilian. The facts of
the case will be found embodied in the following state-
ment of the maimed man, taken before W. James, Esq.,
one of our city magistrates, on Monday last. We may,
however, first state that the prisoner, Corporal Chad-
wick, was brought up before the magistrates, at the
Guildhall, on Monday morning, and having been placed
in the dock, was charged with having maliciously
stabbed with a bayonet, on the night of Saturday last,
at the Grapes Tavern, Evan Levis, the ostler at that
inn, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Su-
pcsintendentAdams deposed—Yesterday, about 2 o'clock
I received the prisoner from the custody of the adjutant
of the Hereford Militia, who considers the chargeagainet
him of too serious a character to be dealt with by toe
military body. I saw the person who had been stabbed
last night, when he seemed to be going on very well. I
went again this morning, and found that a change had
taken place for the worse. Subsequent to my visit, how-
ever, I had received the following medical certificate
front Dr. Bull :—" I hereby certify that Evan Lewis,
ostler at the Grapes, who was stabbed with a bayonet,
on Saturday night, is not so well this morning. Syrnp•
toms of inflammation have appeared, and the poor man
is in considerable danger." The Mayor remarked that
this cowardly act of stabbing was not, he was sorry to
say, the first that had been committed in this city. In
consequence of the prosecutor being unable to attend,
the prisoner would be remanded to that day week.
Subsequently it was thought necessary for a magistrate
to attend at the Grapes, where the poor fellow is lyinc,
and receive his deposition, as follows :—Evan Lewis,
on being sworn, said—" I am brewer and ostler at
the Grapes Tavern in this city. I know the prisoner
and recollect seeing him with many other persons in the
Grapes kitchen on Saturday night about ten o'clock. At
that time there was a fight in the kitchen. The prisoner's
father was there, and was engaged in the row. I pushed
his father away for the purpose of restoring peace, and
upon turning round saw the prisoner, who then drew
his bayonet and stabbed me on the left side of my bowels.
I felt the bayonet penetrate my bowels. I afterwards
went into the parlour, whither I was immediately fol-
lowed by the prisoner, his father, and two other men,
all of whom set upon me and assaulted me there. At
that time the picquet arrived, and the prisoner attempted
to make his escape. I did not see him afterwards. He
was quite sober at the time he stabbed We hear
that the unfortunate man is still lying ill, but that an
, improvement has take* place in his condition.—Here.
