IRE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUSE 12, 1862

larceny at Guernsey. Ho was handcuffed while in
the dock undergoing examination.
Mr. Pollard, from the Treasury, conducted thg
prosecution.

James Ivers, assistant-warder at the Millbank
Prison, said—Prisoner is a convict confined in the
prison. On the 19th of May last, at eight in the
evening, I was on duty within the walls, and was
in the act of going into the prisoner's cell, when I
received a blow from the prisoner, who was leaving
it, on the left temple. It was a left-handed blow
from some sharp instrument, and it seemed to ren-
der me insensible for a few seconds; the blood
gushed out from a wound that I had received on the
temple. That was succeeded by a blow from the
prisoner's clenched fist, which I received on my
forehead. The prisoner closed with me and we fell;
I was underneath ; and in the struggle I received
several blows on the neck; they were cutting blows
with some instrument. I could not see what the
instrument was; it was a sharp instrument. I par-
tially regained my consciousness and was about
recovering, but fell again with prisoner on me, and
he bit me on my right cheek and oa the fingers of
my right hand. After that I received from the pri-
soner a cut over my right eye ; the cut was three
inches and a half long. He then struck me several
other blows about the head and face. The struggle
lasted seven or eight minutes. I bled very free'y
from my wounds, and at last I began to feel ex-
hausted. I was entirely blind when down, from
the blood flowing into my eyes, but when I could
succeed in getting up I could see a little. At last
I succeeded in shaking him off, and giving him into
the charge of another warder. I was taken to Mr.
Gover, the surgeon of the prison, who examined
my wounds. In consequence of the injuries I re-
ceived, I was -disabled for 16 days.
Mr. Arnold—Was there any reason for his at-
tacking you ?
Prosecutor—l had spoken once during the day
and evening to him. I had told him to get on with
his work ; that was about an hour before this oc-
curred.
Mr. Arnold—Did he make any observation at the
time you told him to get on with his work.
Prosecutor—He replied, "All right, master ;" he
did not seem at all out of temper.
Mr. Arnold—Was anything said at the time he
commenced the attack upon you ?
Prosecutor—Nor a word on either side. He struck
me the first 'limy juot aa he was leaving the cell.
Mr. Arnold asked the prisoner whether he wished
to put any question to the prosecutor, to which he
replied in the negative.
George Minchin, assistant warder, said—l was
present with last witness when he was going to
the prisoner's cell. I saw him coming out of the
cell. I saw prisoner strike the last witness, who
had not said a word to him in my presence when
he first attacked him. I could not see any weapon
in the prisoner's hand. A great deal of blood flowed
from last witness's wounds. No words had been
spoken by either party at the time of the commence-
ment of the attack. At length I secured the pri-
soner, after last witness had separated himself from
him. He then made a violent blow at my head. I
parried it and received a slight wound on my left
wrist, and also four cuts on the left side of the coat.
After Ivers left the cell, I remained there with the
prisoner. He called out to another prisoner named
Ryan, " I have done for one of the —." At
the same time he called for Ryan to come in.

Mr. Arnold asked if the instrument used by the
prisoner had been discovered.

Mr. Pollard said it would be produced by a w
ness he was now about to call.

Thomas Handy, principal warder at the prison,
said—On the evening of the 19th of May, I went to
the prisoner's cell a few minutes after eight. Ivers
had at that time gone to the infirmary, and prisoner
was declaring that he had murdered one and would
murder another. I had orders to remcve the pri-
soner from his cell into another, and thoroughly
search him for the instrument with which he had
inflicted the wound. I removed him to another cell,
where, finding that he was to undergo a thorough
search, he gave up this knife.

Witness handed up a short instrument, something
resembling a broad lancet in a wooden handle,
which was broken.

Mr. Arnold, on examining it, said it could hardly
be termed a knife.

The warder observed it was something he had
manufactured for his purpose ; it was impossible
to say how he had become possessed of it, or how
he had concealed it.

Mr. Robert Monday Gover, surgeon at the Mill-
bank prison, said—On the 19th of May Ivers was
brought to the infirmary at a little after eight in
the evening. His face was covered with blood
which I washed off, and I then found that he had
several wounds on the face, neck, and temples. A
wound on the left temple was sufficiently deep to
divide a blood vessel, from which blood poured out
freely. On the right temple there was a gash of
Sin. or akin. in length, unequal in depth. It was
an extremely dangerous wound. It commenced
under the brow of the eye, between the brow and
the lid, dividing the latter, and extended to the
upper part of the ear. There was a wound on the
right side of the neck, in a dangerous situation,
and had it gone deep enough it would have been
fatal. The other wounds were superficial,
Mr. Arnold having informed the prison(r that
the charge against him was for assaulting and
wounding with intent to commit murder, inquired
of him whether he wished to say anything.
Prisoner replied—l never made use of the word
murder to any of them at all.
Inquiry having been made whether he wished
to say anything else,
Prisoner observed—lt is no use my saying any-
thing more.

He was then committed for trial at the Centra
Criminal Court.
