Yesterday liseerl Hill eta brought up under tbe.fullow-
ing nsysierions circumstances.
Several witnesses were examined, mad dare was winch

the facts of this extraordinary ease :
A tratehmen, whose station was in Moorbelds, was guiiii

last, whim he heard several groans, as if of a permits in greet
agony of pain, issuing truss au old stable. Hr knocked at
the door, which was fastened on the mside—andl after a tepee
of a few niimiley, it was opened by the Prisoner, who ap-
pared to be much intoxicated. The watchman inquired
whence proceeded the priming he had heard, and was an-
swered by ilw Primmer. " 0, never united, watches's*. 'tie
Indy a drunken Esau." Stabbed with this, the watchmen
departed—but on re-raisin the stable some time atler-
earth. be heard the saw kind of noise, hut fainter, and
distinctly heard a person articulate " 0 dear! 0 dear!"
He again hoocked virrieetly at the door. and having been
admitted by the Priamser, he digeoveted, by the light of his
lenient, a man lyiag ou the ground, weltering in-blood,
which was flowing from several wounds in varkulie parts of
hie bead mud body. The watchman interrogated the Pri-
soner as to the cause of the dreadful spectacle that pre-
sented itself, but be could pt so satisfactory answer trine
bias. He seemed too drunk to he obit to give any explana-
tion lit about • quarter of am hoar, however, be became
sullichatly sober to assist in carryiug the wounded man
to • house where medical aid was speedily procured.
Os examining the body, it was diseovered that three of the

the shirt and doilies belongiog to the latter. The woman,
however, refound, as the shirt was very Woody, and the man
appeared to be in danger. A day and a might bad elapsed
when the man swans& to get worse, the Prisoner was ap-
prehended.
Tbe primmer, Hill, being called upon, gave the follnwing

could recollect, he had bees there bat a short time when
Davis knocked at the Just, and be let him in. The latter,

A person who had sees the wnuuded man, stated, that the

" bail no hand in it, for they were ton good friends."
A certificate was produced from the %nem who is

On Wednesday ceasing a Lieutenant in the army was
brought to the trines, charged with fraudulently obtaining a
sum of money from Kenaell, an army ageat, in Sobo,
by appointive him his agent to reeeive his hattpey, when it
honied out that he had appointed soother agent fur that pur-
pose previonsly, with a power of attorney; and, on inquiry, it
was discovered that be bad appointed anent other agents
for the same purport; but upon an investigation of the
charge against the Prismier, it appeared that some mosey
lions had bike,' place between him and Mr. Kennett,
it was therefrom deemed an agency tmossoetiors, sad that the
Prisoner's conduct, with respect to appointing Mr. Kennel'
his agent to receive his half pay, did not amount Munch a
false pretruee as the law decrier! a frond, to obtain money
nailer false pretences. The Primmer was therefore dis-
charged.
